原文赏析
Does cell phone radiation cause cancer? New studies show a correlation in lab rats, but the evidence may not resolve ongoing debates over causality or whether any effects arise in people.

The ionizing radiation given off by sources such as x-ray machines and the sun boosts cancer risk by shredding molecules in the body. But the non-ionizing radio-frequency (RF) radiation that cell phones and other wireless devices emit has just one known biological effect: an ability to heat tissue by exciting its molecules.
单词实记radiation 辐射
correlation 相互关联
ongoing 正在进行的,持续的
arise 发生,涌现
ionize 电离
give off 散发,发出
boost 促进,提高
shred 撕裂,撕碎
molecules 分子
wireless 无线电的
emit 散发,排放
熟词僻义resolve 该词紧张有两个意思,一个是“决心”,如“be resolved to do”意为决心做某事;在此处意为“办理”
tissue 该词有组织,餐巾纸两个意思,显然此处取前者。
难句阐发1.The ionizing radiation given off by sources such as x-ray machines and the sun boosts cancer risk by shredding molecules in the body.
此句中The ionizing radiation为主语,given off by sources为分词作定语,后面的such as x-ray machines and the sun为同位语,表示列举。本句的谓语是“boosts”,后面的cancer risk是宾语,末了的by…为介词短语作状语。
全文翻译手机辐射会不会致癌?最新研究在老鼠实验中创造了二者的关联。但是此证据可能还是无法办理长久以来的辩论——究竟癌症是不是手机导致的?在人体上会不会有相同的效果?
X射线仪与太阳光可以产生电离辐射,撕裂体内分子,增加患癌风险。但是手机与其他无线电设备发射的非电离辐射频率的射线(RF)只有一种已知的生物效应——通过激化分子运动来加热组织。

本句中,引号中为直接引语,via表示“通过”,作办法状语。后面斜体部分为他的书名《为什么佛教是真理》
