A few weeks ago, the lazier end of the UK newspaper market published “research” into the tell-tale signs of a mid-life crisis, which apparently include anything from taking vitamins to looking up old flames on Facebook. The FT's science editor, Clive Cookson, somehow neglected to report the story, perhaps because it was a predictable confection scraped together by a publicity-hungry hair restoration clinic.
几周前,英国一些不太严谨的报纸发布了一份“研究”,该研究的内容是:哪些迹象暴露出你已陷入中年危机。根据该研究,陷入中年危机有许多明显的信号,包括开始服用维他命、上Facebook搜索旧情人的主页,等等。英国《金融时报》科技编辑克莱夫•库克森(Clive Cookson)不知为何无视了这个报道,或许是因为该研究是一家渴望出名的生发诊所根据各种可预见事实拼凑出来的。
