《印度时报》12月13日文章，原题：中国人祖先来自印度 由亚洲10个国家共同进行的一项基因研究报告发现，大多数亚洲人的祖先，包括中国人和东南亚人，都来自印度。报告指出，古人类大约10万年前开始从非洲迁徙至南亚次大陆，随后从印度不断迁往亚洲其他地区。
“古人类离开非洲后首先迁徙至印度，然后又从印度迁往东南亚和东亚地区，最终迁徙到美洲。所以，所有亚洲国家的人口都同印度人有着密切的基因联系。”参与该项基因研究的印度“基因与综合生物学研究所”科学家穆科拉里说。
此次基因研究旨在绘制出亚洲人类基因历史。此前曾有基因研究认为古人类是从非洲直接迁往东亚地区的。这份最新出炉的研究报告发现，印度南部的德拉维人与马来西亚和新加坡的部分人口有着巨大的基因相似性

评论：和韩国有得拼......

Genetic study reveals ancestors of Chinese migrated from India

The ancestors of most Asian populations, including the Chinese and Southeast Asians, came from India, a new genetic study across 10 countries has revealed. The study found that humans first migrated to the Indian subcontinent from Africa some 100,000 years ago and then spread to other parts of Asia.

"When humans moved out of Africa, there was a migration to India and from India to Southeast Asia and then East Asia, and finally to the Americas. So, all Asians have a genetic connection with India," Mitali Mukerji, a scientist from the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology who was in the team, said.

The study – Mapping Human Genetic History in Asia – was conducted in 10 Asian countries including India. Apart from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research DG Samir Brahmachari, the Indian study team comprised eight members and some students from IGIB, New Delhi, anthropologist Partha Majumdar and researchers from the Centre for Genomic Applications.

The study contradicts earlier findings that humans directly went to East Asia from Africa. The study found remarkable similarities between the Dravidian population of south India and specific populations in Malaysia and Singapore. More interestingly, north Indians and Dravidians, too, were found to be genetically connected – meaning there are similarities in their gene structures.

Many of us would like to have money in savings. Fankly speaking, a dollar spent now seems to provide a lot more pleasure than a dollar saved, how can you make sure you're motivated enough to put money aside on a regular basis?

Here are five things that could work for you...

1. Save Little And Often

Do you tell yourself that it's not worth saving if you don't have at least 100 (or 500, or 1000) to put into a savings account? This is a bit like telling yourself that it's not worth getting some exercise unless you have a whole day clear to jog.

How about saving just a dollar or two each day? Most of us can cut a couple of dollars of unnecessary spending every day (how about skipping that latte, carpooling, ditching your daily newspaper..?) It's a tiny amount that you'll barely notice on a daily basis, but over the course of a year, you'll have saved several hundred dollars.

2. Read Personal Finance Blogs

I find that I get encouraged to save--and to adopt good financial habits in general--by reading about others'tips and success. One of my must-read blogs for this is The Simple Dollar; Trent writes very well, and covers topics in-depth without making them too complicated. He also has an upbeat and motivating attitude towards savings and finances (some personal finance blogs can make for rather dour reading).

Other good blogs on personal finance are Get Rich Slowly and Wise Bread.

3. Keep a Savings Log

Something that's often recommended for those sorting out their finances is to keep a spending log--to write down what you spend, so that you have a clear picture of where all the money is going. I've done this in the past, and it's always revealing (and occasionally a bit horrifying!)

A twist on this, though, is to keep a savings log. Each time you make a deposit into your savings account (or each time you shove a few dollars into the jam jar hidden under your bed), write down the date and how much you saved. This can be a great way to motivate yourself to save more. You could also use your calendar or diary for this.

4. Save Towards A Specific Goal

Having a very clear goal in mind can make it much easier to save up. If you know that you need 1,000 for that new computer, or if you're determined to reach ,000 in your emergency fund, focusing on the end goal can keep you motivated.

Your end reward might not be a tangible thing like a vacation or a new purchase: it might be peace of mind, or a sense of security or freedom. Consider visualizing how you'll feel once you have your target amount in the bank. Will it take a weight off your shoulders? Will you be proud of what you've achieved?

5. Automate Your Savings

Finally, if you do find that your motivation waxes and wanes, simply automate your savings. Get your bank to transfer 100 (or 200 or 500 etc) from your checking account into a savings account, at the start of each month. If the money goes out without you having to lift a finger, chances are that you'll simply let it head off into the savings pot ...

【中文译文】：

有积蓄是许多人的梦想。坦率地讲，花一块钱比存一块钱要爽多了，那么怎样才能保证自己有足够的意志力把钱按期存起来呢？

下面是你可以考虑的五个办法……

1.存小钱，常存钱

你是不是告诉自己，至少有100（500或1000）块钱才值得存入银行？这就有点像对自己说，只有拥有一整天的时间才值得去锻炼。

何不试试每天只存一两块钱呢？大多数人每天都能剩出几块钱来，（例如不喝咖啡，和别人合伙坐出租车，少买点报纸）你可能很容易就忽略这些小钱，但一年后，你就可以节省数百元钱。

2. 阅读个人理财博客

我是通过阅读别人分享的小技巧和成功经验才学会了存钱和理财。我必读的一个理财博客是 The Simple Dollar，里面的文章深入浅出，对储蓄和理财的态度让人变得乐观而振奋（一些个人的理财博客则让人昏昏欲睡）。

其他好的个人理财博客还有Get Rich Slowly 和 Wise Bread。

3.建立一个储蓄日志

管钱的一个好办法是建立一个花钱日志，写下你的花费，让自己清楚地知道所有的钱都花到哪里去了。我已经做到了这一点，而且我发现它的好处明显（只是偶尔觉得结果有点可怕！）

另一个办法正好相反，即建立一个储蓄日志。每当你把钱放进银行户头（或把几块钱放到床底下的果酱瓶里），记下日期和你存了多少钱。这是一个挺不错的可以激励存更多钱的方式。你也可以使用自己的日历或是日记本来做记录。

4. 为自己设立一个具体目标

一个非常明确的目标可以让你的省钱计划更加易行。如果你知道自己需要1000块去买一个新的电脑，或者决心要存下5000元以做应急之用，那么明确最终目标能够让你保持干劲。

你也许因为要存钱而不能去旅游或大买特买，但你因此收获了安心，安全感和自由。想象银行存折里的数字一直增加，你是不是感到自己的生活压力减少了？你会为自己实现目标而自豪吗？

5.自动化你的储蓄

如果你发现自己省钱的激情在减弱，只要想办法让储蓄变成一个自动的流程。让你的银行在每月的第一天自动把支票帐户里的100元（200或500）转到储蓄帐户中。这样不需要动一根手指钱就存了起来，你轻而易举就一头扎进储蓄罐里了。

1. You're getting on my nerves.

你惹毛我了.

照字面上来看这句话就是你碰到我的神经了, 引申为让别人生气的意思. 比如说别人一直取笑你, 你不高兴就可以说 You get on my nerve. 这句话的意思跟 jump on my back 差不多. Jump on my back 就是说某人去惹到你了, 试想如果有一个人在你背上跳啊跳的, 那会是什么样的感觉? 所以凡是有人去惹到你, 你就可以警告他说, You are jumping on my back!

2. Get off my back, I didn't sleep last night.

不要再烦我了, 我昨晚没睡耶!

这句话跟上一句刚好是一对. 比如说你一早去上班, 老板就说你这个不是, 那个不是, 工作为什么又没做完, 这句话就可以派上用场了! 你可以大声地跟老板说, Get off my back. I didn't sleep last night. 然后再来你就可以准备收拾东西走路了. 因为你老板可能会跟你说, Then get out of my face, I don't want to see you again.

3. Cut me some slack!

Give me some slack!

放我一马吧.

Slack 就是松懈的意思, 虽然我写的中文解释不太一样, 但其实这句话跟 Get off my back 是一模一样的。

4. Don't let me down.

不要让我失望.

Down 在英文的口语里面解释成心情不好, 心情低落, 或是觉得很失望. 例如有一首很有名的英文歌曲里就有这么一句, Please don't let me down. 请不要让我失望. Down 也有沮丧的意思在内. 跟 blue (忧郁) 这个字差不多, 所以下次当你看到别人心情不好, 不妨过去问一下, Why are you feeling down? 或是 Why are you feeling blue?

请注意 Let down 和 turn down 虽然听来很类似, 但它们的意思却截然不同. Let down 是让人家失望的意思, 而 turn down 则是拒绝别人的邀请.

5. I don't give a shit.

I don't give a damn.

不屑一顾

Shit 跟 damn 都是最不值钱的东西, 连 shit 跟 damn 都不给, 就是说根本不屑一顾. 比如说你知道有人在背后说你坏话, 你就可以这么说, I don't give a shit.

6. People have dirty looks on their faces.

人们的脸都很臭.

有一次老美跟我说他来上学的时候路上塞车, 车上的人脸都很臭, 他就是说 People have dirty looks on their faces. 我当时觉得很有趣, 因为 dirty  在这里并不是指脏的意思, 或是说长的难看, 而是说脸很臭的意思, 各位觉得呢?
