The organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancerclassifiedaspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans.

世卫组织称阿斯巴甜可能致癌，这意味着什么
On Thursday, two World Health Organization agenciesreleasedtheir findings on aspartame, theartificialsweetenerfound in thousands ofsugar-freeproducts likedietsodas, chewing gums,yogurtsand energy drinks.
周四，世界卫生组织的两个机构公布了他们对阿斯巴甜的研究结果，这是一种人工甜味剂，用于成千上万种无糖产品中，如无糖汽水、口香糖、酸奶和能量饮料。
The organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancerclassifiedaspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans. A separate group, the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, said that there was notconvincingevidence of a link between aspartame and cancer in humans and that people could still safelyconsumethe sweetener inmoderateamounts.
世卫组织下属的国际癌症研究机构将阿斯巴甜列为可能对人类致癌的物质。另一组织食品添加剂联合专家委员会表示，没有令人信服的证据表明阿斯巴甜与人类癌症之间存在关联，人们仍然可以安全地适量摄入这种甜味剂。
Theannouncementdoes not mean that aspartamedefinitivelycauses cancer, W.H.O. experts said in a news conference; instead, it is acallforadditionalresearch into its health effects.
世卫组织专家在新闻发布会上表示，这一声明并不意味阿斯巴甜必然导致癌症，而是呼吁对其健康影响进行更多研究。
The W.H.O. is not advising companies towithdrawproducts thatcontainaspartame or urging people to stop consuming it altogether, said Dr. Francesco Branca, director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at the agency. “We’re just advising for a bit ofmoderation,” he said.
世界卫生组织营养与食品安全部门主任弗朗西斯科·布兰卡博士表示，世界卫生组织并不建议企业撤下含有阿斯巴甜的产品，也不会敦促人们完全停止食用阿斯巴甜。他表示，“我们只是建议适度摄入”。
看到有同学建议说，“是否可以在生词后面加个括号写明意思。”
这个建议很好，但是叔思考后觉得，还是保持现在的状态。
因为当大家看到不认识的词，去查询的过程，就是生词在你头脑中加深印象的过程，是你学习的过程。
如果直接把意思放到旁边，知道得太容易，反而让大家不放在心上，达不到强化记忆的效果。
不论是英语还是专业课，该走的流程是必须要走的，学习的过程是不能让别人替代的，例如，整理笔记、画思维导图、查单词等。
