>Love could ward off colds
戀愛中的女人不易感冒?
Valentine's Day is over, but that doesn't mean you have to give up on love. There are numerous benefits to showing affection, and according to a new study, those include warding off colds. The new research, published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, found that falling in love is associated with an increased activity of certain genes, particularly ones involved in antiviral defenses. In other words, love could help us fight off viruses like colds and the flu. Loneliness can have a negative impact on both mental and physical health. For instance, it can lead to more inflammation, an increased risk of heart disease, and depression.
情人節(jié)過去了，但這不意味著你就要放棄愛情。新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，戀愛有很多好處，其中還包括防止感冒。這個發(fā)表在期刊《精神神經(jīng)內(nèi)分泌學(xué)》上的新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，陷入愛河與特定基因的活動增加有關(guān)，尤其是和病毒防御有關(guān)的基因。換言之，愛情能幫我們抗擊風(fēng)寒和流感這類病毒。孤獨則會對心理和身體健康都產(chǎn)生負面影響。舉例來說，孤獨會增加炎癥、心臟病和抑郁癥的患病風(fēng)險。

>Passenger skips his flight
漢莎航空起訴棄程旅客
A method commonly used by airline passengers to get cheaper fares is at the center of a court row between a German airline and one of its customers. Lufthansa has taken a passenger, who didn't show up for the last leg of his ticketed journey, to court in an apparent bid to clamp down on "hidden city" ticketing. The practice involves passengers leaving their journey at a layover point, instead of making a final connection. According to a court document, an unnamed male passenger booked a Lufthansa flight from Seattle to Oslo, which had a layover in Frankfurt. But he did not catch the Frankfurt to Oslo flight. He instead flew on a separate Lufthansa reservation from Frankfurt to Berlin. Lufthansa saw this as a violation of their terms and conditions and is seeking 2,112 euros in compensation. A Berlin district court dismissed the lawsuit in December, but Lufthansa's spokesperson confirmed to CNN that the company has "already filed the appeal against the decision."
航空旅客用來省錢的一種常見購票方式最近成為德國漢莎航空公司與一名乘客官司的焦點。漢莎航空將一名棄乘最后一段航班的乘客告上了法庭，顯然是為了打擊"隱藏城市"購票方式。用這種方式購票的乘客在中轉(zhuǎn)站離開，而不是繼續(xù)搭乘中轉(zhuǎn)航班抵達終點。法院文件顯示，一名不具名的男性乘客預(yù)定了漢莎航空從西雅圖飛奧斯陸的航班，在法蘭克福中轉(zhuǎn)。但他卻沒有登上從法蘭克福飛往奧斯陸的航班，而是購買了漢莎航空另一架航班的機票，從法蘭克福飛往柏林。漢莎航空認為這一行為違反了該公司的條款和協(xié)議，并要求乘客賠償2112歐元。雖然去年12月柏林一家地方法院駁回了該訴訟，但漢莎發(fā)言人向美國有線新聞網(wǎng)證實，該公司"已對此提出上訴"。

>Blood drop emoji launched
'大姨媽'表情符號將上線
A single red blood drop is among the list of 59 new emojis announced by the Unicode Consortium, the organization in charge of developing the official emojis of the world. "The inclusion of an emoji which can express what 800 million women around the world are experiencing every month is a huge step towards normalizing periods and smashing the stigma which surrounds them," said Lucy Russell, head of girls' rights at Plan International UK. An emoji isn't going to solve this, but it can help change the conversation. Ending the shame around periods begins with talking about it, she added. The new emoji is available to use by March.
近日，負責(zé)研發(fā)世界官方表情符號的組織統(tǒng)一碼聯(lián)盟發(fā)布了最新表情符號表單，一滴紅色血滴是59個新表情符號中的一個。英國國際計劃組織女孩權(quán)利部門負責(zé)人露西?羅素稱："這個表情包可以表達全球8億女性每個月都在經(jīng)歷的事情，加入這個表情是將月經(jīng)正常化和打破其污名的重要一步。她還表示，一個表情包并不能解決這些問題，但它確實能有助于改變?nèi)藗兊挠懻?。開放討論是解除人們對于月經(jīng)的羞恥感的第一步。這一新表情符號3月將正式上線。
