Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor

The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a five-year research study.

Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer.They said patients are younger, especially women.

According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else.Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate.

"An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer, "said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.

He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,l,483 were male.

Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only l8 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke, according to the report.

However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about1 irritated eyes and throat.

About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women's bedrooms were adjacent to2 the kitchen.

However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer.Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.

"Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook, "said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman."I know the fumes are bad for the skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer.I have already started frying less."

Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.

Other experts agreed with he3.

"Smoking is by far the biggest cause4 of lung cancer for men, "said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College."It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women."

He's research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling5 fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.

The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time, 6experts said.

2.adjacent to：與……相毗鄰，臨近……(地方)

3.Other experts agreed with he.其他專家同意何醫(yī)生的意見。agree with sb：同意某人的意見。agree with sth：同意什么東西。agree to do sth：同意做什么事情。

4.by far the biggest cause：最最大的原因。by far是用來做形容詞最高級(jí)the biggest的狀語，對(duì)形容詞最高級(jí)起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。本來形容詞最高級(jí)就已經(jīng)是最高了，可是說話的人還要對(duì)它再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)出來，所以就相當(dāng)漢語的“最最……”的意思。

6....if exposed to the fume for a long time：...如果長(zhǎng)時(shí)間接觸這種煙的話。expose sb.to sth. 原意是“使...... (人)暴露于...... (物)”，但醫(yī)學(xué)文獻(xiàn)中常常用來表達(dá)“接觸到……(物)"的意思。此處if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句相當(dāng)于“if one is exposed to the fume for a long time"。

答案與題解：

1.D文章第二段明確提到，肺癌的新趨勢(shì)就是“病人更年輕，尤其是婦女”。

2.B文章第三段說到，“肺癌排在乳腺癌之后，發(fā)病率第二高"，可見乳腺癌才是最常見的疾病。

3.A文章第七段說到，“60%以上患肺癌的婦女都長(zhǎng)期接觸廚房油煙并主訴眼睛和喉嚨疼痛難受"。

4.B文章倒數(shù)第七段明確說到，“當(dāng)婦女們知道廚房油煙可以致癌時(shí)都很驚訝"。

5.D 回答此題時(shí)，首先要注意倒數(shù)第五段中的兩處文字，即had few links to...和was closely related to...，其中l(wèi)ink to意為connection with，而relate to則意為connect with，都是“聯(lián)系"的意思，只是few和closely的差別卻很大。few和little一樣，都是具有否定意義的詞，意為“很少，幾乎沒有"，只是后面的名詞分別為可數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞而已;它們與a few和a little不同，a few和a little具有肯定意義，意為“有幾個(gè)"和“有一點(diǎn)"，后面的名詞同樣分別為可數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞。如果這一點(diǎn)明白了，也就很容易回答這道題了。

譯文：廚房油煙可致癌

醫(yī)學(xué)專家們經(jīng)過5年的研究調(diào)研后指出，城市人群中，男性患肺癌的首要原因是吸煙，而女性患此絕癥的罪魁禍?zhǔn)资菑N房油煙。

醫(yī)生們昨天宣布這一結(jié)果，并對(duì)肺癌患病的一些新趨勢(shì)做出分析。他們認(rèn)為病人越來越年輕化，尤其是女性。

據(jù)上海腫瘤研究所統(tǒng)計(jì)顯示，本市死于肺癌的居民多于死于其他疾病的人。肺癌成為繼乳腺癌之后的第二大高發(fā)病率腫瘤。

上海民生中醫(yī)腫瘤診療中心何裕民醫(yī)生指出：“不健康的生活習(xí)慣是致癌的一個(gè)重要原因。”

他對(duì)2,276名肺癌患者進(jìn)行了長(zhǎng)達(dá)5年的追蹤調(diào)研。這些患者中有1,483名師男性。

報(bào)告顯示，案例中男性患者中70%是由吸煙誘發(fā)癌癥的，而直郵18%的女性患者是由于吸煙或被迫吸入二手煙才誘發(fā)癌癥的。

然而，60%以上患肺癌的女性都長(zhǎng)期接觸廚房油煙并主訴眼睛和喉嚨疼痛難受。

大約32%的女性在滾開的油里煎炸食物而廚房卻密不透風(fēng)。而大約25%的女性居住的臥室緊鄰廚房。

但是，婦女們知道廚房油煙可以致癌時(shí)都很驚訝。其中一些人表示要改變準(zhǔn)備飲食的方式。

“我每天都得下廚做飯，除非我和家人都不在家用餐”，李旭，一名45歲的婦女說，“我知道油煙對(duì)皮膚不好，但是還是第一次聽說油煙竟能致癌、我以后要少煎炸食物。”

醫(yī)生們認(rèn)為，女性患肺癌和個(gè)人健康及身體狀況聯(lián)系極少，但和腫瘤家族病史、不健康的飲食習(xí)慣和脆弱的免疫系統(tǒng)聯(lián)系緊密。

其它專家同意何醫(yī)生的意見。

“吸煙已經(jīng)成為誘發(fā)男性肺癌最最大的因素，”上海復(fù)旦大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院呼吸道疾病研究所名譽(yù)主席譚彬用指出，“二手煙和廚房油煙的確是誘發(fā)女性肺癌的主要原因。”

他的研究同時(shí)也警告人們不要站在賣油炸食品的攤點(diǎn)旁，因?yàn)樗麄兪褂玫挠投际橇淤|(zhì)的。

專家稱，如果長(zhǎng)時(shí)間接受油煙，患肺癌的幾率有常人的3倍那么高。
