7.10 热门：重伤女子求别叫救护车

Open-plan offices suck
开放办公室能增进互动?

For the first time, scientists have measured what actually happens with face-to-face interactions when employees start to work at an open-plan office - and their results show these modern workspaces are not as collaborative as you'd think. 
在开放式办公室工作真的能增加面对面交流吗？科学家首次对此展开了研究，结果显示，这种现代办公室并不像你想的那样能够增进合作。

Instead of spending more time "collaborating" with co-workers in the sprawling new space where everyone could see them, people got their heads down and tried to preserve their privacy any way they could (like, with huge headphones). 
在每个人都能看见自己的开阔办公空间里，人们不是花更多时间与同事"合作"，反而是埋头于自己的事情，试图用各种方式保护自己的隐私(比如头戴式大耳机)。

It appears that being forced into a more open-plan environment can make people switch from chatting to others in person to sending an email or using instant messaging instead.
被迫在更开放的办公环境内工作，会让人们将面对面聊天改为用电子邮箱或即时通讯软件发信息。

Wounded refuses ambulance
重伤女子求别叫救护车

A 45-year-old woman was walking off Boston's Orange Line train at Massachusetts Avenue when she lost her footing and plunged down the gap, giving her a deep cut that went right down to the bone. 
近日，一名45岁的女子正离开马赛诸塞大道的波士顿捷运橘线列车，突然没站稳，腿被卡在列车与站台缝隙中。她的腿上裂了一个大口子，伤口一直深到骨头。

Her fellow passengers helped push the train to the side and free her, but even as she thanked them, shaking and weeping from the pain, she begged them not to call an ambulance because it cost too much. 
其他乘客一起帮忙挪开了列车，将她救出，但她在向大家表示感谢的时候，还恳求大家不要叫救护车，因为费用太高，而当时她痛到浑身颤抖，泣不成声。

"Do you know how much an ambulance costs?" she said. "It's $3,000," she said. "I can't afford that." The woman's heartbreaking pleas have reignited the debate around healthcare in the US, with many branding it "barbaric" that someone should be forced to choose between life and debt. 
她说："你知道叫救护车要花多少钱吗？3000美元！我可掏不起。"这名女子令人心碎的恳求再次激起了美国民众对医疗状况的热议。很多人说美国的医疗体系"野蛮原始"，一些人不得不在要命还是要钱之间作出选择。

"It is absolutely disgraceful that someone has to worry about the cost of an ambulance in a situation like that. My thoughts are with her," said Twitter user Yalina.
推特用户雅琳娜说："伤成那样的情况下还得担心救护车的费用，这绝对是医疗体系的耻辱。我很同情她。"

Creative self-defense gadget
韩国公司推出自卫'口红'

South Korean telecommunications operator SK Telecom rolled out a self-defense device that looks like a harmless lipstick. The smart gadget is 8 cm long and has a diameter of 0.8 cm. 
韩国电信运营商SK电讯近日推出一款外观看起来像口红的自卫工具。这款智能小工具名为"My Hero(我的英雄)"，长8厘米，直径为0.8厘米。

While it looks exactly like a lipstick on the outside, it definitely isn't designed for makeup. When you take off the cap, it will immediately send out an alarm of 90 decibels (dB) and also send a message to the police. 
虽然它的外观看起来和一管口红完全一样，但它绝对不是用来化妆的。当你取下口红盖时，"My Hero"就会立即发出90分贝的警报，并且向警方发送信息。

SK Telecom also claimed the device can report the user's location to five previously installed emergency contacts. Moreover, the "lipstick" can work as a recorder for three minutes after it's triggered. 
SK电讯还声称，该设备可以向5个提前设置的紧急联系人报告用户位置。此外，这款"口红"在被激活后还可以录音3分钟。

This function allows it to collect evidence that can be used by the authorities at a later date. SK Telecom released the product on Thursday for 25,000 won and believes that the highly portable, inconspicuous device will do well on the market.
这一功能可用于收集证据，以便日后被执法部门采纳。SK电讯于5日推出了这款产品，售价2.5万韩元(约合人民币148元)，该公司认为，这款便携度高、隐蔽性好的自卫"口红"将有良好市场表现。
