Staying in school longer does not necessarily make someone happier, according to new research, the BBC reported Saturday. The study compared the mental abilities of those who turned 14 before the school leaving age in the UK was raised to 15 in 1947, with those who were 14 just after the change and stayed in school for an extra year. The researchers found the teenagers with more schooling had a better memory later in life. But the study found no \"statistically significant\" effect on well-being or quality of life.

当地时间5月6日，法国将迎来总统大选的第2轮角逐，现任总统、人动联盟候选人萨科齐与社会党候选人奥朗德将上演最后交锋，一决胜负。貌不惊人的奥朗德后来居上，已成为民心所向。这位\"普通先生\"是谁？他能否赢得大选？让我们拭目以待。
弗朗索瓦·奥朗德对阵尼古拉斯·萨科齐，法国大选可谓是一场\"平淡无奇\"与\"珠光宝气\"之间的较量。
[普通人奥朗德]
Before he became the most powerful man in France, Nicolas Sarkozy was asked if he thought about being president when he was shaving in the mirror every morning. \"Not just when I'm shaving,\" came the deadly earnest reply. It was a perfectly formed sound bite from the high-profile man who was known as \"President Bling-Bling\".
萨科齐当选法国总统以前，被问及每天早上对着镜
子刮脸时会不会思考当总统的事，他一脸严肃地说道：\"不止刮脸，我什么时候都在想。\"寥寥数语刻画出一位被称为\"亮闪闪总统\"的高调男人的典型形象。
Asked a similar question this February, Francois Hollande, the Socialist candidate and Mr Sarkozy's closest rival, laughed. \"Arrogance,\" he said. \"Do I see myself as president? No, I am a presidential candidate. A candidate must not think of himself as president. He
年轻时，奥朗德曾与汉堡结下不解之缘。他曾说：\"我本来可以卖乳酪汉堡大发一笔的，但我最终选择了政治。\"
[追梦少年]
Born on August 12, 1954 in the northwestern city of Rouen into a middle-class family, Hollande, son of a doctor father and social worker mother, told family and friends from a young age that he wanted to be must hope that he becomes president. He cannot behave as if he is already elected,\" he added. This is Francois Hollande, the man they call Mr Normal. 今年2月，当奥朗德被问及类似问题时，这位社会党候选人、萨科齐的有力竞争者则笑着答道：\"自大。\"紧接着又补充道，\"我视自己为总统吗？不，我只是一名总统候选人。候选人不能把自己想象成总统，他只能希望自己成为总统。\"这就是弗朗索瓦·奥朗德，人们称他为\"普通先生\"。
['柔道选手'奥朗德]
In Tuesday's TV debate, President Nicolas Sarkozy failed to deliver a knockout blow against Francois Hollande to shake his challenger's lead for Sunday's runoff. French television commentators concluded that Sarkozy had performed \"like a boxer\" and Hollande \"like a judo fighter\and interjections to unbalance his adversary. Mr
Normal, now ahead in opinion polls by 6 to 10 points, is well positioned to become the 24th president of France.
在2日的电视辩论中，现任总统萨科齐未能使出关键一击，撼动对手奥朗德在6日大选中的领先地位。法国电视评论员总结称，萨科齐表现得像是一名拳击手，而奥朗德则像名柔道选手，运用智慧与出其不意的插话令对手失去平衡。奥朗德目前在民调中领先6-10个百分点，这位\"普通先生\"已做好准备成为第24任法国总统了。
president one day. The Socialist party leader used to go to work by scooter(小型摩托车), much like the average businessperson would. Mr Hollande says he will cut the presidential salary by 30% if elected. Another thing he says he will do immediately if he wins is put in a call to share the news with his aging father.
奥朗德1954年8月12日出生在法国西北部城市鲁昂一个中产家庭，父亲是名医生，母亲是名社工。小时候他便告诉家人和朋友，长大后的志向是成为总统。奥朗德过去一直骑助力车上下班，就像一名普通小商人。他表示，当选总统后要做的两件事，一是自砍薪水3成；二是立即将消息告知年迈的父亲。
In 1974, he got a travel grant from his business school to go to the US for the summer, studying the supreme American invention of fast food — particularly McDonald's and KFC. He wrote a report saying that fast food would come to France. \"I could have made a fortune in cheeseburgers, but I finally chose politics,\" he said. But since then he has kept a certain taste for hamburgers. Having been nicknamed \"a living
marshmallow\" and \"Mr Little Jokes\plump man was viewed more as manager than
visionary before a pre-campaign diet that allowed him to shed 15 kg.
1974年，他获得商学院提供的一笔旅费补助，于暑期赴美学习美式快餐，重点学习了麦当劳和肯德基。他写了一篇报告，称快餐将进驻法国。奥朗德说，\"我本来可以卖乳酪汉堡大发一笔的，但我最终选择了政治。\"不过，从此以后，他就爱上了汉堡包。奥朗德曾被戏称为\"活棉花糖\"、\"笑话先生\"，这位发福的中年人看上去更像是经理而非智者。为了竞选，他努力改变形象，成功瘦身15公斤。
在奥朗德并不短暂的政治生涯中，他从未进入过内阁，甚至\"没做过决定\"。但也许，政治三无、为人普通就是他的制胜筹码。
[政治生涯——'三无']
Hollande joined the Socialist party in 1979 and played a junior role as an economic adviser in the Mitterrand presidency. He became an MP in 1998 and a party leader in 2008. Long though his political career
stretches, he's never held a cabinet job and never even made a single decision. Perhaps for that reason he doesn't show much fatal weakness.
奥朗德1979年加入社会党，担任法国总统密特朗的初级经济顾问。1988年他当选国民议会议员，并在2008年挑起政党领袖的大梁。然而，虽然奥朗德的政治生涯为期不短，他从没进入内阁当过，甚至\"没做过决定\"。也许正因如此，在他身上也找不出什么致命缺点。
[政治筹码——'普通']
Hollande vowed to be a consensus-builder, a \"normal president\" in contrast to the hyperactive(极度活跃的) and aggressive Sarkozy, whose flamboyant(浮夸的) style has annoyed French people. \"The next head of state must be the opposite of Nicolas Sarkozy,\" Hollande has said. Hollande T-shirts stamped \"normal\" are for sale at his rallies.
奥朗德誓言要建立共识，成为一名\"普通总统\"，对抗太过活跃与强势的萨科齐。法国人民对这位现任总统的浮夸作风早已厌烦不已。他宣称：\"下任法国总统必须与尼古拉斯·萨科齐相反。\"奥朗德还在自己的造势大会上叫卖印有\"普通\"字样的奥朗德T恤。
[政治主张——'民本']
Hollande opposes the harsh German-enforced fiscal tightening which has met resistance from the public.
He proposes to levy a 75% tax on the rich and vowed to renegotiate the EU's fiscal pact. Regarding foreign policy, he supports the withdrawal of French troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2012.
奥朗德反对德国推行的严苛财政紧缩，这一遭到民众的抵制。他提议向富人阶层课75%的重税，并誓言重新协商欧盟财政契约。外交方面，他支持年底撤出驻阿法军。

>Hendry retires from snooker 台球皇帝退位淡看风云
About 20 years ago, billiard mania swept into China. Billiard houses mushroomed in every corner of
China's cities. If you walked into one of them, a poster would immediately come into sight. The picture of Stephen Hendry always hung at the most conspicuous place in the room, regardless of how luxurious or shabby its facilities were. The snooker king
announced his retirement Wednesday after losing 2-13 to Stephen Maguire in the quarter-finals of this year's World Championship. His decision to leave snooker stirred emotional discussions among a generation of fans. But the king himself just smiled as usual in a gentlemanly manner.
近二十年前，各地街头巷尾间，悄然兴起一股\"台球热\"。那时，你若走进一家球馆，不论环境如何，总能在最显眼的位置发现一位球手的海报。他就是\"台球皇帝\"——史蒂芬·亨德利。北京时间2日，亨德利在2012克世锦赛1/4决赛中2-13负于马奎尔后宣布退役。球坛帝星谢幕，让一代人唏嘘感慨，但他起身时，却是微笑依然，不减绅士风度。 [独尊一朝封帝号]
Stephen Hendry dominated snooker in the 1990s and rightfully possesses a king's title. He was born in
Scotland in 1969. Hendry started practicing snooker at the age of 12 and turned professional 4 years later. In his 27-year career, the Scottish player won the most world ranking titles (36) and made history with 775
[胸盛甲兵崇礼度]
Snooker is considered a gentleman's sport. Stephen Hendry, a Scot, plays in consistency with decorum. He knows when to push forward or step backward politely in a game. On the table, Hendry makes his moves at a steady pace. Figure out the potting line, lower the upper body, and thrust the cue... Repeating such actions that some might regard as boring, he is always able to find the key to victory with his sharp eyes. Most of Hendry's strikes hit the ball accurately, defying any doubts. Winning follows on naturally as the target balls fall into the pockets one after another. The snooker king's face remains calm and his gait elegant. Under the surface, he has already gathered a large amount of experience, which helps to put the game within his familiar capabilities. Without it, the king would never have been given such a moniker. 克被认为是一项绅士运动，而史蒂芬·亨德利正是球桌旁那位进退有度、风度翩翩的苏格兰绅士。比赛中，他总是不急不缓，把握良好的节奏。俯身、瞄准、出杆……在常人看来枯燥的循环往复中，亨德利总能用他犀利的眼光，抓住关键所在，引剑出鞘，稳而准地击球落袋，将胜利收入囊中。\"台球皇帝\"踱步间似风平浪静，实则胸中陈兵千万，早已将战局纳入自己的轨迹。非有此本事，也难称\"皇帝\"之名。
competitive century breaks (单杆过百). In terms of maximum breaks (单杆满分), only Ronnie O'Sullivan tied with him for having nailed it 11 times. As the single 7-time World Champion, Hendry has been crowned the king of Crucible (venue for the World Championship). He became a legend in snooker by occupying the world's No 1 spot for 8 consecutive years between 1990 and 1998. Hendry represents a period of absolute dominance in the sport. The 1990s belong to the Scottish snooker king.
亨德利既封帝号，必然有开朝立代之功。他1969年生于苏格兰，12岁开始练球，16岁成为职业选手，职业生涯27年共获36个排名赛冠军，为史上之最。他775次单杆过百，亦是绝无仅有。11次轰出满分147，仅奥沙利文能与之并肩。7夺世锦赛冠军，\"克鲁斯堡(世锦赛举办场地)之王\"足可笑傲古今。1990-1998的8年间亨德利稳居世界第一，整个90年代，由他而始，由他而终，无愧帝者之尊。
[英雄迟暮守安然]
Entering the new millennium, the king’s glory inevitably began to fade. Powerful warlords have staged fierce battles to claim the crown, but none of them secured unanimous endorsement. In 12 years, Stephen Hendry did not regain the World Champion title once, despite a short return to the world No 1 position in the 2005-06 season. The aging snooker
king was on the road down from the peak of his career. There were more dispirited and hopeless days in this period, but Hendry has never lost his elegant style. The Scottish gentleman’s focusing eyes, steady pace and manners will last in the memories of fans long after his retirement.
进入新千年后，亨得利光芒不免渐弱，克也进入了群雄时代，王者四起，唯独帝位无人可继。12年间，亨得利未再登临世锦赛冠军宝座，仅在
2005-06赛季短暂重回世界第一。随着年龄的增长，波尔托卢奇现年25岁，拿到了一家技术学院的地质测量专业学位。由于毕业后没能找到工作，他现在成了一名专业牧羊人，负责看管400只羊。他说，\"我很高兴自己做出这样的决定。刚开始的时候，我跟着老牧羊人学习放牧。这活儿还真不容易。渐渐的，我的技术有了起色。\"

[山人一语]
\"台球皇帝\"曾一统天下，但在岁月的洗礼下，终须有退位让贤的一天。居高位而下之人，多有不甘怨叹之声。而到此时，亨得利却是一脸淡然，不失气度，可道是：\"回首向来萧瑟处，也无风雨也无晴。\" 告别峥嵘岁月，\"皇帝\"将致力于推广中式8球。从亨得利时代开始了解克的一代中国球迷，正好轻道一声:\"再会，永远的'台球皇帝'。\"

It was not easy. But, day by day, I made progress. \" Being left holding the bag是相当古老的习惯用语，意思是\"一人为许多人的错误和罪行承担责任\"。奇怪的是没人能说出它的确切出典，有一种猜测——这里的bag可能是装赃款赃物的袋子，直译就是剩下的人拿着赃物袋子。 请看例句:

>Disputes scare students away 医患纠纷学生畏惧学医
Doctor-patient disputes have made many students and their parents in dread of studying medicine, a survey by Fudan University shows, People's Daily reported. Another reason not to pursue the medical trade is that studying medicine takes more time than other majors and interns bear huge pressure, get low pay and take potential risks, all of which make them feel they are being treated unfairly. Though most medicos won't change their profession, they suffer from worry and disappointment, the survey shows.

>Parking spaces speculated 京现炒车位最高3万/平 Investors who have been hampered by housing control policies now have a new target to lay out their money: parking spaces in Beijing. Many premises have had each of their parking spaces sold at more than RMB100,000, with the most expensive ones at
RMB200,000 and above, Beijing News reported. At some downtown communities, residential parking is sold at RMB30,000 per sq m. Lots of property developers have launched a lottery mechanism for their home buyers to get a parking space. Demand exceeding supply has been the main reason for the parking price hike.

>Gingrich $4M in debt 金里奇竞选挥霍欠400万
Newt Gingrich ends his White House dream with his political committee facing a mountain of debts - owing about $4m to scores of businesses and
campaign workers who fear they will never get paid, US media reported. Campaign watchdogs said the size of Gingrich's debt is extraordinary - and could have been avoided if the candidate and his team had been more disciplined.
据美国媒体报道，美国共和党总统候选人金里奇的白宫梦划上句号，现在他面临的是如山般的债务。他的政治委员会拖欠数十家公司及助选人员约400万美元的薪资与债务，一些人开始担心，他们可能永远领不到欠款。竞选监督组织说，金里奇债务之重非比寻常。如果他和他的团队此前能有所节制，一些债务是完全可以避免的。

Campaign debts can haunt unsuccessful candidates for years, symbols of failure and futility they are unable to forget. Sen. John Glenn owed banks, lawyers and campaign workers nearly $3m more than 20 years after his failed run for president in 1984. Glenn
notified the Federal Election Commission in 2005 that he was unable to pay them back. The following year the agency gave him permission to disband his campaign committee.
竞选债务会长期困扰不成功的候选人，挫败感和无用感让他们难以忘记。联邦参议员约翰·格伦1984年竞选总统失败，20多年后仍欠银行、律师及助选人员近300万美元。他2005年通知联邦选举委员会自己无力还债，后者在第二年准许他解散他的竞选委员会。

>Samsung pressures Apple 手机新战场:逐鹿多尺寸
Samsung Electronics Co regained the lead in
smartphones from Apple Inc in the first quarter of this year. One of its weapons: screens of many different sizes. Samsung sells at least 13 smartphones with various screens ranging from 2.8 inches on the Replenish to 5.3 inches on the Galaxy Note; while Apple, which has always believed in a limited number of models, offers only a 3.5-inch display on its 2 iPhones. The different strategies – and the success of Samsung's – have led analysts to speculate that Apple will have to expand its line at some point, Bloomberg
reported Thursday.
[尺寸的猜疑]
Speculation has persisted that Apple will add different screen sizes. The Maeil Business Newspaper reported in March the iPhone 5 will have a 4.6-inch display, while the Chinese online portal Netease reported last month that Apple is planning to introduce a smaller iPad. Still, \"Apple could play the 'if it's not broke, don't fix it' card,\" said Ramon Llamas, an analyst at IDC Corp.

\"Screen size seems to be far more important than we originally anticipated,\" Daniel Kim, an analyst at Macquarie Group, said in a report. \"Once consumers are used to larger screens, few go back to samrtphone screens smaller than 4 inches.\"

>Young Obama in love 情人眼中的奥巴马(图)
Vanity Fair has published excerpts from a
forthcoming biography of US President Barack Obama that details Obama's relationships with Alex McNear and Genevieve Cook, women he dated in his early 20s. Below are some of the interesting
revelations about the president's personality from the excerpts.
一本揭秘美国总统奥巴马情史的传记即将出版，书中讲述了20出头的奥巴马和他的两位前女友——亚历克斯·麦克尼尔和吉纳维芙·库克之间的故事。《名利场》日前节选刊登了该书部分内容。以下摘选部分有趣片段，一窥奥巴马鲜为人知的一面。
--He was often quite distant 这么近，那么远
Cook, a girlfriend for more than a year, writes in her diary, \"How is he so old already, at the age of 22? The sexual warmth is definitely there - but the rest of it has sharp edges...His warmth can be deceptive...There was so much going on beneath the surface, out of reach.\" In her eyes Obama was \"guarded and controlled.\"
奥巴马交往一年多的女友库克在日记中写道：\"他才22岁，怎么已如此苍老？毫无疑问他有着对性的热情，但余下的全是尖锐的棱角。……他的温暖有着欺骗性。……太多东西深藏于表面，难以琢磨。\"在她眼中，奥巴马自我保护意识极强，也善于自我控制。
--The smell of Obama's room 情人房间的味道
Cook described: \"I open the door, that Barack keeps closed, to his room, and enter into a warm, private space pervaded by a mixture of smells that so strongly speak of his presence, his liveliness, his habits -
running sweat, Brut spray deodorant, smoking, eating raisins, sleeping, breathing.\" 库克描述道：\"我打开巴拉克总是紧闭着的门，走进他的房间，这是一个温暖、私密的空间，空气里充满专属于他的味道，证明他的存在、他的活力、他的习惯——挥汗奔跑，男性身体除味剂，抽烟，吃葡萄干，睡觉，呼吸。\"
--Obama did the crossword 玩字谜游戏的奥巴马
Cook remembers \"on Sundays Obama would lounge around, drinking coffee and solving The New York Times crossword puzzle, bare-chested, wearing a blue
and white sarong.\"
库克记得，\"到了周日，奥巴马闲来无事，就会喝着咖啡，光着膀子，围一块蓝白相间的围裙，认真玩起《纽约时报》上的字谜游戏。\"
--He didn't say 'I love you' 不轻言'爱'字
\"When Cook told him that she loved him,\" writes the biography, \"his response was not 'I love you, too' but 'thank you' - as though he appreciated that someone loved him.\"
传记中写道：当库克对奥巴马说，她爱他时，奥巴马的回应不是\"我也爱你\"而是\"谢谢你\"。好像他很感激有人爱他。

>A new trend for cameras 无反光镜相机方兴未艾?
When shopping for a single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera (单反相机), photo enthusiasts typically choose between Canon or Nikon. But a cadre of electronics companies are posing a threat to that dominance by refashioning bulky(笨重的) professional cameras into sleeker, more affordable models, The Wall Street Journal reported. With the profits tight in the
point-and-shoot(傻瓜相机) and growing competition of smart phones, the camera market is focusing on the booming mirror-less models.
--无反光镜相机是什么
This type of camera packs high-end features into a compact design. Like SLR cameras, these cameras come with large sensors and interchangeable lenses that produce high-quality images. But they don't have the conventional mirror-based viewfinders(取景器) that reflect the image to the photographer's eyes. Instead, the image is digitalized, allowing for a more compact body.

和能够生成高质量图像的可更换镜头，但并不配备将图像反射到拍摄者眼前的以反光镜为基础的取景器，而是对图像进行数字化处理，所以相机机身才能更为紧凑。
