| World's first billion-dollar home |
印度首富造世界最貴豪宅 |
| 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. |
據英國《衛報》報道，穆凱什?阿姆巴尼及其妻子和三個孩子將很快入住他們的新家，即位于孟買的一座27層、173米高的豪宅。阿姆巴尼是印度首富，也是世界第四大富豪。這座房子的建造成本約7030萬美元，但是由于孟買的房地產價格堪稱天價，其價值將高達10億美元。房子包含配有健身房和練舞室的健身俱樂部、至少一個游泳池、一間舞廳、數間客廳、各類休息室以及一個50座的影院。據報道，房子的總面積達3.7萬平方米，比凡爾賽宮還大。專家們稱，從面積、豪華程度上來講，世界上沒有一座可與其比肩的私人居所。阿姆巴尼作為信誠工業公司的大股東，身價達290億美元。他一直為人低調，但是這回他如此外露自己巨大的財富，很令人吃驚。 |
| Love is a painkiller |
愛情是劑止痛藥 |
| 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. |
據英國《每日電訊報》報道，熱戀時迸發的強烈感情可以像止疼藥和毒品一樣讓人遠離疼痛。美國科學家在15位處于熱戀期的大學生身上做了如下實驗：在他們面前擺上戀人的照片，然后將電腦控制的熱感儀置于其手掌之上，用以傳輸輕微的痛感；同時，用功能磁共振成像儀對他們的大腦進行掃描。實驗顯示，看到戀人照片時所產生的愛意是一劑強勁的止疼藥。但如果照片上是一位熟人，即便其魅力十足，也不會產生同樣的功效。
