經(jīng)常長(zhǎng)痘不用擔(dān)心，這說明你會(huì)活得比較久.

　　長(zhǎng)痘是困擾很多人的一大問題，雖然痘痘并不是什么身體上特別大的毛病，但是總是影響著個(gè)人形象。其實(shí)科學(xué)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，長(zhǎng)痘并不是什么壞事，長(zhǎng)痘的人通常會(huì)活得更久一點(diǎn)。

　　It might be cold comfort for those of you struggling with bad skin right now, but a new study has found that people with acne tend to have younger-looking skin as they grow older.

　　也許對(duì)于正在與壞皮膚斗爭(zhēng)的你們來說無濟(jì)于事，但是一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，患有痤瘡的人的皮膚隨著他們年齡的增長(zhǎng)往往會(huì)有更年輕的容顏。

　　Comparing genetic information from women with and without acne, the study found that acne-prone women had significantly longer telomeres (or chromosome caps) than their clear-skinned counterparts, which means their cells were better protected from the deterioration that usually comes with age.

　　對(duì)有痤瘡和沒有痤瘡的女性的基因信息進(jìn)行比較，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，痤瘡性肌膚的女性比不是痤瘡膚質(zhì)的女性有更長(zhǎng)的端粒(染色體帽)，這意味著在細(xì)胞的衰退過程中他們的細(xì)胞隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)會(huì)得到更好的保護(hù)。

　　注：端粒是染色體端的DNA保護(hù)結(jié)構(gòu)。想象一下他們就像是鞋帶末端那些小的塑料蓋子一樣，保護(hù)著鞋帶不受磨損。每當(dāng)一個(gè)細(xì)胞瓦解，它的端粒就會(huì)變短一點(diǎn)，直到那些細(xì)胞再也不能重生為止。

　　As the UK National Health Services explains, for years, dermatologists have been noticing that people who have had acne show signs of ageing later than those who have never had the skin condition.

　　英國(guó)國(guó)家衛(wèi)生服務(wù)解釋說，多年來，皮膚科醫(yī)生已經(jīng)注意到有痤瘡的人顯示出衰老的跡象比那些從未有過的皮膚狀況的人要晚很久。

　　On average, women who'd experienced acne bore had noticeably longer telomeres (mean 7.17 kilobases) than women who’d never had acne (mean 6.92 kb) - after factors such as age, weight, and height were taken into account.

　　平均而言，在年齡、體重和身高都考慮在內(nèi)的話，長(zhǎng)過痤瘡的女性(平均7.17個(gè)堿基)會(huì)明顯比沒有長(zhǎng)過的女性(平均6.92 kb)有更長(zhǎng)的端粒。

　　But for those having a tough time with their skin right now, it's nice to know that you might end up having the last laugh.

　　但是對(duì)于那些現(xiàn)階段皮膚很糟糕的人來說，你很可能是笑到最后的那個(gè)人。
