>UK to rip out gas heating
英將廢除燃氣供暖減排
Plans to put 10 million electric vehicles on the road within 10 years and rip gas central heating from every home were unveiled on Sunday.
根據本月2日公布的一項計劃，英國將在十年內投放一千萬輛電動汽車，並廢除所有家庭用戶的燃氣集中供暖系統。
The radical scheme to "greenwire" Britain will be built around plans for a four-fold increase in electricity from wind farms around the coast.
這一激進的"綠線"項目將圍繞著將沿海風力發電場的發電量提高4倍的計劃展開。
But the proposals will largely be paid for by families and businesses, adding billions of pounds to bills over the next 30 years.
但這些提案將主要由家庭和企業買單，未來30年內將增加數十億英鎊支出。
It is suggested that building and running the infrastructure to support the roll-out of electric vehicles could be ￡2 billion a year, equivalent to ￡30 on every household bill.
該計劃指出，建設和運行基礎設施以支持推廣電動汽車每年或需20億英鎊(約合人民幣184億元)，相當於每個家庭支出30英鎊。
And switching away from natural gas heating and hot water for homes and businesses will require spending as much as ￡20 billion a year by 2050.
到2050年，家庭和企業將不再使用天然氣供暖和熱水系統，這將需要每年支出200億英鎊。
There are doubts as to whether the regulator and energy industry can deliver on the proposals, not least because of the delays and massive cost overrun on the installation of smart energy meters in all homes.
一些人懷疑監管機構和能源行業能否兌現這些提議，尤其是因為在所有家庭安裝智能電錶的過程中會出現拖延和巨額成本超支。
While energy regulator Ofgem argues that the electricity generated by wind farms will, in the future, be considerably cheaper than from traditional sources such as gas, coal and oil.
不過英國能源監管機構Ofgem辯稱，在未來，風力發電廠發電將比天然氣、煤炭和石油等傳統能源發電價格低廉得多。
>Most men want perfect beard
多數男性想要完美鬍鬚
According to a recent survey of 2,000 Americans, the vast majority of men feel better about themselves with some facial hair.
根據一項對2000名美國人的新調查，絕大多數男性認為自己留鬍子更帥。
Facial hair is so important to modern men that one in five say they would give up sex for a full year if it meant they could grow the "perfect beard".
現代男性很看重鬍鬚，五分之一的男性表示，如果能長出"完美鬍鬚"，他們願意為此放棄一整年的性生活。
Moreover, 75% of male respondents say they feel much more confident with some facial hair.
此外，75%的男性受訪者稱，留鬍子讓他們感覺更自信。
Besides giving up sex, another four in 10 male respondents say they would spend a night in prison for better facial hair or give up coffee for a full year. Also, 38% would stand in line at the DMV all day for the perfect beard, and 18% would shave their head.
除了願意放棄性生活，還有40%的男性受訪者說，為了更好看的鬍子，他們願意在監獄裡蹲一夜，或者一年不喝咖啡；38%的人願意在車管所排一天的隊，18%的人願意剃光自己的頭。
Interestingly, men actually seem to put more stock in their facial hair than women. While 73% of male respondents believe facial hair makes them more attractive, only 63% of female respondents shared the same sentiment regarding male attractiveness.
有意思的是，調查發現男性比女性更看重鬍鬚：高達73%的男性受訪者認為，留鬍子讓自己更有魅力，但只有63%的女性受訪者這麼想。
