Auction of Beethoven's hair
貝多芬頭髮被公開拍賣
British auction house Sotheby's plans to sell on Tuesday what it says is a "substantial" lock ofLudwig van Beethoven's hair that the Germancomposerhimself cut off and gave to a pianist friend in 1826. The lock is expected tofetch up to15,000 pounds but the director of books and manuscripts at Sotheby's, Simon Maguire, said it could end up selling for more than that. "There's already been quite a lot of interest," he said.
英國拍賣行蘇富比計劃於當地時間11日出售德國作曲家路德維希凡貝多芬的"一大縷"頭髮。據傳，這縷頭髮是1826年貝多芬自己剪下來送給一位鋼琴家朋友的。貝多芬的這縷頭髮估價達1.5萬英鎊，但蘇富比負責書籍和手稿拍賣的負責人西蒙馬奎爾表示，最終成交價或許會更高，因為已經有很多人表現出對這件拍賣品的興趣。
Recountingthe story behind the item, Maguire said Austrian pianist Anton Halm had asked for a lock of hair to give to his wife as akeepsakebut Beethoven's servant had instead sent the hair of a goat,infuriatingthe composer. "And he then gave (Halm), in a piece of paper, a lock of hair that he had just himself cut from the back of his head, a substantiallock. And he said this one at least you can be sure isgenuine," Maguire said.
馬奎爾還講述了這縷頭髮背後的故事：奧地利鋼琴家安東哈姆曾向貝多芬討要一縷頭髮，送給自己的妻子作紀念品。殊不知貝多芬的僕人送來一縷山羊毛充數。貝多芬對此很生氣，於是親手從自己腦後剪下一大縷頭髮，包在一張紙裡送給哈姆，說："這次肯定是真的。"

Japanese eye drops banned
日本網紅眼藥水遭禁售
Six types of Japanese eye dropsthat are popular in China have beenblacklistedin Canada after health authorities there analyzed the ingredients. According to Health Canada, theover-the-counter products containprescriptiondrugs which, if taken without the supervision of a healthcare professional, may cause seriousside effectsincluding watery eyes,cataracts, headache, muscle weakness, and a stinging or burning feeling on the skin.
加拿大衛生部門日前在分析過六種日本眼藥水的成分後，將其列入了黑名單。這六種眼藥水在中國都很流行。加拿大衛生部表示，這些非處方藥含有處方藥品成分，在沒有專業醫療人員監督的情況下使用，可能會造成嚴重的副作用，包括眼睛流淚、白內障、頭痛、肌肉無力以及皮膚刺痛或灼燒感等。
Experts warned that their long-term use might cause damage to the eyes. China's health authority and the medical products administration have not issued any such warnings. The products on the Canadian list have not received official approval for sale in the Chinese mainland and most users have to travel to Japan to buy them, or ask friends to shop on their behalf.
專家警告說，長期使用這些眼藥水可能會損傷眼睛。目前，我國衛生部門和醫療產品管理機構尚未發布任何此類警告。被列入加拿大黑名單的產品尚未被官方批准在中國大陸銷售，大多數用戶需要前往日本購買，或讓朋友代購。
