| World's first billion-dollar home |
印度首富造世界最贵豪宅 |
| A 27-story, 173-meter high building in Mumbai will soon be home to Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India and the fourth richest in the world, plus his wife and their three children, the Guardian reports. It cost an estimated US$70.3 million to build but, because of Mumbai's astronomic land and property prices, will be worth US$1 billion. It contains a health club with a gym and dance studio, at least one swimming pool, a ballroom, guestrooms, a variety of lounges and a 50-seater cinema. Overall, there is reported to be 37,000 sq meters of space, more than the Palace of Versailles. Experts say there is no other private property of comparable size and prominence in the world. Ambani, who owns much of Reliance Industries, is worth US$29 billion. He has hitherto kept a low profile and people are surprised he has decided on such a public display of his immense wealth. |
据英国《卫报》报道，穆凯什•阿姆巴尼及其妻子和三个孩子将很快入住他们的新家，即位于孟买的一座27层、173米高的豪宅。阿姆巴尼是印度首富，也是世界第四大富豪。这座房子的建造成本约7030万美元，但是由于孟买的房地产价格堪称天价，其价值将高达10亿美元。房子包含配有健身房和练舞室的健身俱乐部、至少一个游泳池、一间舞厅、数间客厅、各类休息室以及一个50座的影院。据报道，房子的总面积达3.7万平方米，比凡尔赛宫还大。专家们称，从面积、豪华程度上来讲，世界上没有一座可与其比肩的私人居所。阿姆巴尼作为信诚工业公司的大股东，身价达290亿美元。他一直为人低调，但是这回他如此外露自己巨大的财富，很令人吃惊。 |
| Love is a painkiller |
爱情是剂止痛药 |
| Passions triggered by the early flushes of a relationship block physical pain in a similar way to painkillers and drugs, the Daily Telegraph reports. U.S. scientists tested the theory on 15 male and female university students who were in the passionate early stages of a love affair. They were shown photos of their partners while a computer-controlled heat probe placed in the palms of their hands delivered mild doses of pain. At the same time, the students had their brains scanned by a functional MRI machine. The study showed that feelings of love, triggered by seeing a photo of one's beloved, acted as a powerful pain killer. Focusing on a photo of an attractive acquaintance rather than a relationship partner did not have the same benefit. |
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，热恋时迸发的强烈感情可以像止疼药和毒品一样让人远离疼痛。美国科学家在15位处于热恋期的大学生身上做了如下实验：在他们面前摆上恋人的照片，然后将电脑控制的热感仪置于其手掌之上，用以传输轻微的痛感；同时，用功能磁共振成像仪对他们的大脑进行扫描。实验显示，看到恋人照片时所产生的爱意是一剂强劲的止疼药。但如果照片上是一位熟人，即便其魅力十足，也不会产生同样的功效。
