Hi there, Neil. Hardly a day goes by without hearing someone talking about some aspect of our bodies. Do you know what I mean, Neil?
嗨，尼尔。没有一天人们不谈及自己身体的。你明白我说的是什么吧？
Oh, yes, Rob. Almost every part of our anatomy seems to be the subject of endless debate.It could be our stomachs and what we eat.It could be our posture and how we stand.It could be our skin and how we should look after it.
没错。我们身体的每一部分都能引发无休止的争论。无论是我们的胃，还是我们吃了什么；我们的姿势和如何站立；我们的皮肤以及如果保养，都会引发热议。
Yes, I know, it gets very tedious – that means boring – so I don’t really take any notice, as you can see! But there’s one part of our body you don’t hear much about – and that is the chin.
恩，这些争论乏味单调，也就是说无聊，所以我真的不关注这些。但是我们身体中有一个部分人们谈论的并不多，那就是下巴。
The chin? You mean the small bit of bone under the mouth?It’s not the most interesting part, is it Rob?I mean, it doesn’t do anything, does it?I must admit I’ve never even thought about it. What’s it for, anyway?
下巴？你是指嘴下面那块小骨头吗？它没什么意思，不是吗？我的意思是，它没有什么作用，不是吗？我必须承认从来没有考虑过这个。它到底有什么用呢？
Well, some people think it’s very useful for folding up large sheets and towels.You know, you hold one end under your chin like that with it…
一些人认为下巴可以用来叠被单和毛巾。把一端抵在下巴下……
Come on, Rob, you’re not being serious!
得了，罗伯，你不能严肃点吗？
Of course not. But seriously, the more you think about it, the more interesting the chin becomes.
好吧，严肃地说，你了解得越多，会越觉得下巴很有意思。
You’ve still got to convince me, Rob.A chin is just a chin.That’s all there is to it.
那你得说服我。下巴只是下巴。仅此而已。
Not so fast, Neil.The chin may turn out to be a more important part of the body than you think.But before we get into that, let’s turn to the quiz.Chin up, Neil.
别这么快下结论。下巴的作用比你想象得重要。说到这个之前，我们先来看看今天的问题。振奋起来吧，尼尔。
A good phrase - it means stay positive and optimistic.
这个短语不错，它是指保持积极和乐观。
OK well how optimistic are you about getting this question right?How long ago do you think humans developed chins?Was it...a) 150,000 years ago?b) 2 million years ago?c) 5 million years ago?
没错，对于答对这道题，你有多大把握呢？你认为多少年前人类才进化出下巴？a) 十五万年前?b) 两百万年前? c) 五百万年前?
Hmm. I have no idea. They all sound far-fetched to me. Far-fetched means something is difficult to believe.But I think I’ll go for 2 million years ago.
我不知道。这些选项跟我八竿子打不着。意思是很难想象。但是我选两百万年前。
’B’. Okay. Well, we’ll find out if you’re right or wrong later on.But the first thing to say is that humans are the only animals to have developed a chin.Let’s listen to Dr James Pampush from the University of Florida.What word does he use to mean it sticks out?
选B，好吧，之后我们再看你回答的是否正确。首先要讲的是人类是唯一有下巴的动物。让我们听听佛罗里达大学James Pampush教授的观点。他用了什么词来表示突出？
