this is the Health Report.这里是健康报道!A popular expression goes, “What does not kill us makes us stronger.” But when it comes to being bullied, that may not be the case.当下很流行的一句话是“那些打不倒我们的困难会使我们更强”。但是当我们总是受到欺负的时候，情况却不是如此了!Increasing evidence suggests that the effects of being bullied do not end with childhood. The psychological and physical damage, such as anxiety and depression, can continue into adulthood.越来越多的证据表明，受到他人的欺凌产生的影响并不会随着童年时期的结束而结束。它对人心理和生理产生的危害，比如焦虑和抑郁的情绪会持续到成年时期。A recent Duke University report shows that bullying can have permanent effects.杜克大学最近的一项研究表明受欺凌会对人产生永久的影响。The report is based on research that began in 1993. The Great Smoky Mountains study observed 1,420 children from western North Carolina for years. The scientists followed the people as they went through childhood to teen years and into young adulthood.这项报告是基于从1993年开始的研究得来的。大烟山研究观察了1420名来自北卡罗来纳州西部的儿童很多年。科学家记录他们从童年到青少年并且步入成年的。The research showed that those who were bullied can develop long-term mental health problems as young adults. It also showed that adults who were bullied as children have higher levels of C-reactive protein, or CRP. CRP is a sign of nervous tension on the body. Higher levels of CRP usually mean health problems later in life.研究表明那些在年少时受过欺负的人在步入成年早期的时候会长期遇到精神方面的问题。另外也表明他们有更高水平的高敏c反应蛋白或者简称CRP。CRP是身体神经紧张的迹象。较高的CRP通常意味着之后会产生健康问题。The Great Smoky Mountains study also found something completely new about bullying. It seems that the bullies were healthier than the bullied – at least when talking about CRP levels. The study found that those subjects who had never been bullied, but had bullied others, had the lowest levels of CRP.大烟山研究也发现一些关于受欺凌的崭新的观点。似乎看来那些欺负人的人比受欺负的人更加健康，至少在CRP水平方面是这样的。研究发现那些从来没受到欺凌，但是却欺负过别人的人CRP水平最低。William Copeland led the study. He is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina. He says a higher social standing for bullies might explain their lower CRP levels.William Copeland领导这项研究。他是北卡罗来纳州杜克大学医疗中心精神病学和行为科学系的专家。他表示欺负人的人的更高的社会地位可能能解释他们的CRP低水平。Experts on bullying worry about that message. Catherine Bradshaw is deputy director of the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence in Baltimore, Maryland. She warns that lower CRP levels might just represent a difference in the' basic biology. Ms. Bradshaw says that a health gain should not be understood as permission to bully.这项研究的专家们对研究结果表示担忧。Catherine Bradshaw是马里兰州位于巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯大学预防青少年暴力中心的副主任。她警告说低水平的CRP可能仅代表基础生物学的一个差异。Bradshaw女士表示健康的增益不应被理解为允许欺负。Mr. Copeland says bullying is a serious childhood experience that is no longer found only at schools and on playgrounds. Online or cyberbullying can make even a child’s home feel unsafe. Some children who are bullied have killed themselves. Sometimes bullies even kill their victims.Copeland先生表示受欺负是童年时期一个非常糟糕的经历，这不仅发生在学校和运动场。在线或者网络欺凌可以使孩子们感到甚至家里也没那么安全。一些受过欺凌的孩子选择自杀。有时甚至杀死他们的受害者。Mexico’s president is dealing with such a tragedy now. A 12-year old boy died last month a week after he was physically bullied at school.墨西哥总统日前就在处理这样的一个悲剧事件。一个12岁的男孩上个月自杀了，巧合的是一周前他在学校受到毒打。The family of Hector Alejandro Mendez Ramirez say that bullies threw the boy into a wall. He died later of head injuries. Mr. Pena Nieto has sworn to fight bullying in Mexican schools.Hector Alejandro Mendez Ramirez家人表示那些流氓把男孩扔到墙上，晚点的时候因为头部受伤死了。墨西哥学校的Pena Nieto 先生发誓要与霸凌这种行为战斗到底。And that’s the Health Report. I’m Anna Matteo.

2014-4-6From VOA Learning English, welcome to This is America. I'm Steve Ember. April is National Poetry Month, and this week, Kelly Jean Kelly brings us some of the poems that Americans like best. Come along with us, on a journey through rhyme!April is National Poetry Month in the United States. The Academy of American Poets started the celebration in 1996. The goal was to help more Americans add poetry to their lives.The academy chose April as National Poetry Month because of a line in a poem. T.S. Eliot called April “the cruelest month” in his poem “The Waste Land.” And many Americans think April is the cruelest month. They must pay their income taxes by April 15th.National Poetry Month brings together publishers, booksellers, poetry groups, libraries, schools and poets around the country. They encourage people to write, read, and listen to poetry. In the southern state of Florida, the O, Miami Poetry Festival tries to bring a poem to every one of the 2.5 million people who live in the area. The group has dropped poems out of airplanes, sewn them into clothes, and put them on every bus in the city.Poetry is very popular in the United States. America even has a chief poet, known as the Poet Laureate. Robert Pinsky was the Poet Laureate from 1997 until 2000. He started the Favorite Poem Project, to find out which poems Americans liked best. Thousands of Americans wrote to Mr. Pinsky about their favorite poems. He chose 200 poems by poets from the United States and from many other countries. The poems are included in a book called “Americans’ Favorite Poems.” It was edited by Robert Pinsky and Maggie Dietz. We will read five of poems from the book by American poets.
