Researchers at Leicester University analyzed data on 474,919 people with an average age of 52 in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2016. The average life expectancy in the UK is 79 for men and nearly 82 for women.

萊斯特大學研究人員分析2006至2016年間「英國生物樣本庫」的47萬4919人資料，平均年齡52歲。在英國，男性平均壽命為79歲，女性則是近82歲。

They found women who walked briskly had a life expectancy of 86.7 to 87.8 years old, and men who kept up the pace had a life expectancy of 85.2 to 86.8. Conversely, participants with slower walking paces had shorter life expectancies.

他們發現，走路迅速的女性，平均壽命是86.7至87.8歲；步伐節奏快速的男性，平均壽命則是85.2至86.8歲。反之，走路步調較慢的受試者平均壽命較短。

It is believed those who stroll quicker exercise more, implying they are fitter. This protects them against high blood pressure, obesity and inactivity.

據信，這些走路更快速的人，從事更多運動，意味著他們更為結實。這保護他們對抗高血壓、肥胖及活動不足。

The man, 28, slammed the drug-filled van into the empty police patrol car at Eastwood in the city’s north on Monday morning, crushing its bonnet, before speeding off, CCTV footage shows. He was caught by police an hour later.

閉路電視影像顯示，這名28歲男子週一早上在該市北方伊士活區加速逃逸前，讓裝滿毒品的廂型貨車用力撞上沒坐人的巡邏警車，還壓爛了它的引擎蓋。他在1個小時以後被警方抓到。

A search of the vehicle turned up 273kg of ice, said police, who released footage of the drugs neatly packed in cardboard boxes, taped up and loaded into the back of the van. Police said in a statement the drugs had a street value of A$200 million.

警方說，搜查車輛後查出273公斤冰毒，他們發布了毒品整齊裝在紙箱內、包好放進貨車後頭的影像。警方聲明說，這些毒品的街頭黑市價格為2億澳幣。

The driver was arrested and charged with drug supply and negligent driving and is due in court on Tuesday. （Reuters）

When he was five years old, the car he and his family were travelling in hit a landmine in South Sudan’s northern town of Bentiu. His grandmother was killed. His left leg was shattered and had to be amputated.

在他5歲那年，他與家人乘坐的汽車在南蘇丹北部班提鎮誤觸地雷，他的祖母不幸死亡，而他的左腿粉碎，必須截肢。

Stephen was flown to a physical rehabilitation center run by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Juba, and received his first prosthesis in 2013. However, afterwards, war prevented Stephen from being able to return for new fittings every six months. When he finally made it to the center in April, his prosthesis was far too short.

史蒂芬被送往首都朱巴一所由紅十字國際委員會運營的復健中心，並在2013年接受第一隻義肢。但在此之後，內戰讓史蒂芬無法每6個月回診重新裝配。當他4月終於回到中心時，他的義肢已經過短。

South Sudan’s five-year-long civil war has left possibly tens of thousands of people without limbs － a toll that may never be accurately established.

南蘇丹5年多的內戰，可能已讓數萬人失去四肢，這個數字或許永遠也無法準確估算。

Much of the country has limited resources of healthcare, and many limbs are amputated for no other reason than lack of treatment.

Then the reality of Greece’s austerity regime kicked in. A stipulation by debt-laden authorities that he should pay his annual tax bill upfront killed the business. Now, he has joined the growing ranks of Greeks in a precarious "gig economy" working long hours for low wages and no job security.

然後，希臘撙節措施的現實開始產生影響。債台高築的政府規定他必須預繳年度稅金，扼殺了他的小店。現在，他身處充滿不確定的「零工經濟」，與愈來愈多希臘人一樣，長時間工作換來低工資，而且工作沒有保障。

In August, Greece will mark the first anniversary of being free from the close financial supervision of lenders whose 280-billion-euro lifeline kept the country afloat for nine years after a debt crisis brought it to its knees.

希臘擺脫貸款方嚴密金融監管將在8月屆滿1年，這筆2800億歐元的救命錢，讓希臘被債務危機擊倒後勉強撐了9年。

One in two young people in Greece are unemployed. According to a survey by MRB in late 2016, roughly half of Greeks aged 18-35 lived on financial support from relatives. （Reuters）

在希臘，每2個年輕人就有1個人沒有工作。根據市調機構MRB在2016年底的調查，18到35歲的希臘人有約半數靠親戚接濟度日。（路透）

Kim had a giant fish tank built inside his Ryongsong Residence. The general’s arms and torso were cut open with knives before he was thrown into the tank, which was filled with hundreds of piranhas imported from Brazil, the Daily Star reported.

金正恩擁有一個巨大的魚池，建在他的龍城官邸裡。「每日星報」報導，該名將軍在被丟入池子前，手臂及軀幹遭到刀子切開，池子裡充滿數百隻從巴西進口的食人魚。

A UK intelligence source said: "Kim rules by fear. He wants everyone to know, including his most trusted aides, that they are at risk of suffering an unpleasant death if he suspects they are treasonous."

一名英國情報消息人士指出：「金正恩藉由恐懼統治，他想要每個人知道，包括他最相信的幕僚，如果他懷疑他們叛國，他們就會面臨慘遭粗魯死刑的風險。」

The Daily Star claimed Kim may have been inspired by the 1965 James Bond movie ’You Only Live Twice’ to pursue the gruesome execution method.

「每日星報」指稱，金正恩可能受到1965年詹姆斯．龐德電影《雷霆谷》的啟發，以致追求這種恐怖的處決方法。
