科學(xué)美國人60秒中英文翻譯：近視眼和文化程度有關(guān)
科學(xué)美國人60秒英文文本
Nothing says “overeducated egghead” like a pair of coke-bottle glasses.
But even cliches sometimes hit the nerd on the head.
Because a new study finds that nearsightedness is linked to the number of years spent in school.
The findings can be viewed in the journal Ophthalmology.
In the past century, the prevalence of myopia—science-speak for being able to see only what's right in front of you—has been on the rise.
So much so that it can't all be blamed on geeky genes.

To nail down the potential environmental influences, researchers focused on the classroom.
They gave eye exams to nearly 5000 German subjects in a project called the Gutenberg Health Study.
The researchers found that individuals with 13 years of education were more myopic than those who didn't get past primary school.
And more than half of those with a university degree could use a set of specs, compared to less than a quarter of the folks who quit after high school or secondary school.
All that learning takes a lot of reading.
Which itself is associated with nearsightedness.
Or the nearsighted may gravitate toward pursuits easier to see—like hitting the books.
Either way, seems that being a good student may not require great pupils.

沒有人曾經(jīng)說過啃死書的呆子戴著一副可樂瓶底似的眼鏡。
但是甚至陳詞濫調(diào)有時(shí)候也會(huì)無端說中。
因?yàn)橐豁?xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)近視眼和在學(xué)校上學(xué)的時(shí)間有關(guān)。
這一發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)在《眼科學(xué)》雜志上發(fā)表。
在過去的一個(gè)世紀(jì)中，近視眼一直呈現(xiàn)上升趨勢，這都是拜科學(xué)所賜讓你看清楚眼前。
近視眼的增長如此多以致于都不用怪罪于基因遺傳。
為了明確可能存在的環(huán)境影響，研究人員將研究重點(diǎn)放在了教室這個(gè)特殊場所上。
在這個(gè)名為古騰伯格的項(xiàng)目中，他們?yōu)閷?duì)近5000名學(xué)生做了眼科檢查。
研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些經(jīng)歷過13年書本洗禮學(xué)生的近視率比那些小學(xué)畢業(yè)還沒畢業(yè)的人要高很多。
而在擁有大學(xué)學(xué)歷的人中，一半以上戴著眼鏡，而相比之下高中或者初中后就退學(xué)的人戴眼鏡卻更少。
所有的學(xué)習(xí)都需要大量的閱讀。
這就會(huì)跟近視聯(lián)系起來。
或者近視眼的人在啃書本時(shí)，可能會(huì)想看的更清楚而選擇離書更近。
不管怎樣，似乎做一個(gè)好學(xué)生并不需要大大的瞳孔。
