《创世纪》中提到这个水果是从一棵树上采下来的,但从来没有说过这是一个什么果、什么树。苹果是12世纪左右才掺和进来的,可能是因为在一个拉丁文双关语里面,"malus"同时具有“苹果”和“邪恶”的意思吧!
(提到苹果,貌似砸中牛顿的那只苹果也有待继续考证哦)
Lemmings don't run off cliffs
愚蠢的人类想多了,旅鼠并不会成群结队跳下悬崖
你们小时候有没有这样一个神秘而有着悲壮色彩的故事?旅鼠的种群数量一旦大于某个临界值,其中的一部分就会像受到了某种召唤一样,自动集结起来浩浩荡荡地开始一次大迁徙,直到来到一处悬崖边统统跳下去被团灭!
The myth about lemmings committing suicide by running off cliffs came about from the 1950s nature documentary White Wilderness, produced by Disney. The filmmakers faked the scene in question (and allegedly actually threw lemmings off a cliff) in order to make it seem like they were willfully committing suicide.
关于旅鼠自杀的神秘传说 Carrots aren't better for your eyesight than any other vegetable with beta carotene
胡萝卜有益于你的视力是因为其中含有β-胡萝卜素,但它的效果并没有比其他含有β-胡萝卜素的食物更好
If you listened to your mom, you would think that carrots give you superpowered vision or something. The truth is that carrots contain beta carotene, which helps your body produce vitamin A, which does nourish your eyes. But there are plenty of other foods (such as sweet potatoes or goat liver) that also contain beta carotene, and vitamin A only helps keep your eyes healthy, not make them superhuman.
