Ruby chocolate launched
粉红巧克力将登陆澳洲
A brand new variety of chocolate is set to hit Australian shores and it comes in a pretty pink hue. Ruby chocolate is the world's "fourth chocolate". Ruby chocolate derives its unique color from the ruby cocoa bean, which is grown in Ecuador, Brazil and the Ivory Coast.
一种漂亮的粉红色新型巧克力即将"登陆"澳大利亚。"红宝石"巧克力是全球"第四种巧克力"。该巧克力独特的颜色来自于产自厄瓜多尔、巴西和象牙海岸的深红可可豆。
Powder extracted from the bean during processing is used to color the chocolate and its creators state no berries or colors have been added in the making. The chocolate's taste is described as "sweet yet sour" with "little to none" of the cocoa flavor traditionally associated with other varieties of chocolate. The innovation, by Barry Callebaut AG, the world's largest cocoa processor, comes after about a decade of development.
加工过程中萃取自这种咖啡豆的粉末被用于为巧克力上色，其发明者称在制作过程中未曾添加浆果或颜料。据称，红宝石巧克力口感酸甜，"几乎没有甚至完全没有"其他种类巧克力通常带有的可可味。这种巧克力是全球最大的可可加工商百乐嘉利宝的创新产品，经过约10年的研发才得以问世。

Hand dryers spread bacteria
烘手机卫生程度输纸巾
Jet hand dryers spread dangerous bacteriaaround bathrooms and are significantly lesshygienicthan traditional paper towels, scientists have found. An international study established that modern dryers create anaerosoleffect, blastingE. Colias well as traces of feces and the bacteria responsible forsepticaemiaonto surfaces.
科研人员发现，喷气式烘手机会在卫生间内传播危险的细菌，卫生程度远低于传统的纸巾。一项国际研究证实，现代烘手机会产生一种雾化效果，将大肠杆菌、微量排泄物和引发败血症的细菌吹到物品表面上。
By contrast, paper towels absorb the bugs better, preventing other people from becoming exposed to them. Published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, the study, the largest of its kind, was partly carried out at Leeds General Infirmary.
相比之下，纸巾能更好地吸收细菌，避免其他人受到污染。该研究发表在《医院感染杂志》上，是同类研究中规模最大的，部分研究工作是在利兹综合医院进行的。
"The problem starts because some people do not wash their hands properly," said Professor Mark Wilcox, who led the study at the University of Leeds. "When people use a jet air dryer, the microbesget blown off and spread around the toilet room. If people touch those surfaces, they risk becomingcontaminatedby bacteria or viruses.
研究带头人、利兹大学的马克•威尔科克斯教授说："这一问题是因为有些人不好好洗手引起的。当人们使用喷气式烘手机时，微生物被吹走，散落到卫生间各处。如果人们接触这些东西的表面，就可能会被细菌或病毒污染。"
