被嫌棄的自殺膠囊機

近日在荷蘭阿姆斯特丹葬禮博覽會上，一款“自殺膠囊機”引起了爭議。只要按下按鈕，機器膠囊艙內就會充滿氮氣，使用者會感到眩暈，5分鐘內失去意識直至死亡。有人表示，這個模型很蠢，就算以后真機問世也不會感興趣。突然意識到死很輕松，活著才不容易。

A “suicide machine”unveiled at an Amsterdam funeral fair

At a funeral fair in Amsterdam last week, a “suicide machine”,the “Sarco,” caused controversy. The person who wants to die presses the button, and the capsule is filled with nitrogen. He or she will feel a bit dizzy but will then rapidly lose consciousness and die within 5 minutes. Some people say that this machine is stupid, and even if the real machine comes out later, they will not be interested. To die is easy,while to live is hard.

比大熊貓更瀕危的江豚

近日中美科學家共同發表論文稱，長江江豚與海江豚之間存在著顯著而穩定的遺傳分化，它們之間缺乏基因交流而出現了生殖隔離，長江江豚因此被認定為獨立物種。如此，長江江豚的瀕危程度將比大熊貓更嚴重。會賣萌的孩子運氣不會太差，希望你們能好好活下去呀。

Neophocaena asiaeorientalis is more endangered than giant panda

Recently, scientists from China and the United States jointly published papers stating that there is a significant and stable genetic differentiation between the Neophocaena asiaeorientalis and the Neophocaena phocaenoides. Because of the lack of gene exchange between them, reproductive isolation occurs. The Neophocaena asiaeorientalis was therefore identified as an independent species.Thus, the Neophocaena asiaeorientalis is a more endangered species than the giant panda. Hope we will put efforts to protect them.
