Technology for detecting cancer cells in blood, developed in Singapore, took the top prize in The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards, which were announced Tuesday.

在周二公布的《华尔街日报》2012年亚洲创新奖中，新加坡开发出来的血液癌细胞检测技术赢得最高奖。

The second prize went to light, flexible padding for body armor, also from Singapore, while an outsourcing company bringing jobs to rural India came in third.

银奖由同为新加坡开发出来的轻质柔软防弹衣填充物摘得。一家为印度农村地区带来就业机会的外包公司获得铜奖。

The three winners reflect some of the broader issues that the Asian-Pacific region's entrepreneurs are trying to tackle, such as health-care-related challenges and ways to improve the living conditions of the underprivileged in emerging economies.

上述三个奖项归属反映出亚太地区企业正在努力解决的一些更广泛的问题，比如与医疗有关的挑战，以及改善新兴经济体弱势群体生活条件的途径。

This year, the Journal received more than 240 applications. A team of Journal editors narrowed the pool to 52, before an independent panel of judges from the private sector and academia worked with the editors to select 12 finalists.

今年，本报共收到逾240份申请。本报的一个编辑小组筛选出其中的52份申请，然后一个由私营部门和学术界人士组成的独立评审团与编辑们一起选出进入决赛的12个申请者。
