大家好，我是羅伯。歡迎收聽六分鐘英語。今天芬和我一起參加節目。你好，芬。
Hello Rob.
你好，羅伯。
In this programme we’re talking about a serious problem that has been affecting some of the big cities in China: that’s air pollution.
在本期節目中，我們要討論一個很嚴重的問題。這個問題困擾著中國一部分大城市。這就是“空氣污染＂ 。
Yes, or better known as smog. Smog is polluted air that is a mixture of smoke and fog. I’ve experienced this in Shanghai and it’s not a nice thing to breathe in.
是的，更常見的說法是“霧霾”。霧霾是由煙和霧混合而成的受污染空氣。我在上海的時候曾經親身經歷過，吸入霧霾可不是什麼好事。

🎁 中英文稿：
When you think of a leader, you may think of an individual who is above all bold. But a new study of fish called sticklebacks shows that shy individuals actually prefer to follow fish that are similarly timid.
當你想到領導時，可能浮現在你腦海中的是一個非常勇敢的人。但是，一項對棘魚的最新研究表明，實際上害羞的魚類更喜歡追隨膽小的魚兒。
Researchers had trios of sticklebacks with known personalities play follow the leader. The fish were placed in a tank that had some plastic plants at one end and some food hidden at the other. In some of the groups, a bold fish and a shy fish acted as leaders, while another shy fish followed. And in other groups, it was a bold fish that did the following. The researchers recorded whether the follower sallied forth more frequently with the fish that was behaviorally similar or the one that was different.
研究人員設置了幾組棘魚，三條為一組，每組中分別放置一條不同個性的魚扮演領導者。他們把這些魚放到一個大池子，池子的一端放上塑膠的植物，而另一端則藏著一些食物。在有些組中，是由大膽的魚和害羞的魚扮演領導者的角色，而害羞的魚兒相隨。而在其他的組別中，有些勇敢的魚卻充當了追隨者的角色。研究人員記錄了追隨者是否跟隨行為相似的魚或者與自己截然相反的魚兒。
What they found is that shy fish were more likely to emerge from under cover when an equally wary fellow was already out there. Bold follower fish did not seem to care which leader they followed.
研究發現，害羞的魚更有可能在有一隻同樣小心警惕的同伴出現時，不再隱藏自己的行跡。而勇敢的魚兒們則好像並不在意它們追隨的魚是怎樣的性格哦。
Of course, no matter which fish a stickleback chose to stick with, the bold fish did lead more expeditions over the course of the experiment than their more retiring friends. That’s because the bold fish initiated more trips, regardless of who might be tailing them. The findings are in the journal Biology Letters.
當然，無論棘魚選擇追隨何種魚類，與善於隱居的朋友相比，大膽的魚類在實驗的過程中存在更多的探險行為。這是因為無論誰追隨自己，大膽的魚兒都會開創更多的旅途。該研究結果發表在《生物學快報》雜誌上。

💵爭取高薪的問答範例💵

高薪人人想擁有，但是高薪可不是天上掉餡餅的事，你得自己去爭取。下面是一些談判薪水常用的表達，注意研究一下其中的技巧哦！

✨範例一：
單位主管：你目前（或上一份工作）的待遇是多少？How much do you make now? (Or how much did you make at your last job?)
應徵者：
（1）我目前（或上一份工作）月薪是三萬五千塊，加上兩個月的年終獎金。
I am presently (or was) making 35 thousand dollars plus 2 months in year-end bonus.
（2）我的薪水低於平均水準 。
I am (or was) making less than average pay.
（3）對不起，我不想回答；因為這兩份工作的職務與行業都不一樣，兩者無法相提並論，所以不如請您告訴我公司規定的起薪是多少？ 
I am sorry but I'd rather not answer your question because these two jobs are totally different in nature. It's apples and oranges. This job has nothing to do with my current (or last) job. Would you be able to tell me what starting salary I should expect?
