Our Amazing Bodies
對現代人來說，不只要活到老、學到老，更是要活到老、健康到老。你知道我們的身體有多神奇嗎？
Believe it or not, your body is quite amazing. We’re going to take a quick tour of the human form. Along the way, we’ll discover some surprising facts.
Why not start at the top? Your wonderful brain is only 2 percent of your body mass.However, it uses 20 percent of the oxygen you take in. And despite being 80 percent water, brains hold just as much information as desktop computers.
Going down to your stomach, we find some very strong acid. It helps us digest food, and it’s powerful enough to destroy metal! But please, don’t try to test this fact out!
Let’s end the day with bones. Adults have 206 in their bodies, but babies are born with 300. Now, why do you think that is?
中文翻譯
信不信由你，你的身體相當地奧妙。現在就踏上一場閱覽人體的旅程吧；一路上，我們將發掘一些令人眼睛為之一亮的訊息。
就讓我們先從「頭」開始吧！你那顆美妙的腦部僅僅只占身體質量的百分之二，然而，我們吸入的氧氣竟有百分之二十是大腦消耗的。又儘管大腦有百分之八十是由水所構成，但它所能儲存的資訊量卻足以和桌上型電腦匹敵。
順勢往下來到了你的胃部，我們在這發現了強酸；它可以幫助我們消化食物，強大的腐蝕性連金屬都甘拜下風！但請不要輕易以身試法！
最後我們以骨頭做結吧；成人身上有206根骨頭，但嬰兒出生時的骨頭數卻是300根，你知道這是怎麼一回事嗎？
