Well, today we’re talking about men.
今天我们将聊聊男性。
That sounds interesting.
这个话题听起来很有趣。
It is very interesting especially if you’re a man because it seems we’ve hadour existence extended.
这个话题很有趣，尤其如果你是男性的话，因为似乎我们将存在延伸了。
I’m sorry?
啥意思？
Well, some previous scientific research had suggested that the Ychromosome, which is responsible for men’s sex organs and hormones, isrotting away!
以前一些科学研究表明决定男性性器官和男性荷尔蒙的是Y染色体，这是错误的！
Oh dear.Are you going to make it till the end of the programme, Neil?
哦， 天啊。你能否让它撑到本节目的结尾呢，尼尔？
Ah yes – even the most pessimistic findings suggested that men had 100thousand years left, so I think 6 minutes is ok!Before we get into this story though, I have a quiz question for you, Rosie.Are you ready?
是的，即使是最悲观的发现也显示男性10万余年后才会灭亡，所以我想6分钟足够了！在我们进入这个故事之前，我有一个问题要问你，罗西。准备好了吗？
Yes, I am.
是的
It’s a simple question.What is the ratio of men to women in the world?Is it a) Equal – so 100 males to every 100 females. Is it b) 101 males to every 100 females. c) 100 males to every 105 females.
这是个简单问题。那么到底世界上男人对女人的比例是什么？是A)100男人对100女人。或者B)101男人对100女人。C)100男人对105女人。
Well, I have absolutely no idea.So, I am going to guess and I am going to say c) 100 males to every 105 females.
我不知道。那么我会猜C)100男人对105女人。
OK, we’ll find out at the end of the programme.
那么，我会在节目最后公布答案。
So, tell me more about this new research into the possible extinction of men.
那么，请告诉我更多关于男性灭绝可能性的研究。
Well it now seems that men can breathe a sigh of relief.Scientists compared the decline in the male human’s Y chromosome – remember that’sthe thing that’s responsible for deciding the sex of a child – with that of therhesus monkey.
现在，似乎男性们放松地喘了一口气。决定孩子性别的是X和Y染色体，科学家将男性“Y染色体”缺失程度与猿“Y”染色体的缺失程度做比较。
OK. That’s the monkey that we separated from 25 million years ago.
好吧。这种猿2500万年是人类的祖先。
That’s right. And their conclusion was that the Y chromosome is depleted butit’s still got all of the vital bits.
的确。他们的结论是Y染色体已被废弃，但仍然有全部的重要信息。
Lucky you! Here’s Jennifer Hughes from the Whitehead Institute in CambridgeMassachusetts. She was in charge of the research:I think that the odds of the Y losing any more genes are pretty slim. It appears that it’sbeen stable for 25 million years and that is a good indication that’s it going to be stable for many many millions of years to come and the genes that remain on the Y probably have very important functions and therefore natural selection is doing a very good job ofpreserving those genes.
