The power of smell
河北省邯郸市第一中学  王永仙

Do you think your nose can play a part in losing weight ?

III. Scanning
Read the article carefully and divide it into some parts. Then work out the main idea of each part.
 

Read the article carefully and answer the following questions.
1. What did Andrew Dillin  initially (起初) believe?
He initially (起初) believed that mice with no sense of smell wouldn’t enjoy food as much and end up eating less.

2. Did the study prove his idea right?
No. The mice were fed the same amounts of fatty food. At the end of the experiment, those with their smelling ability switched off had gained no weight, while the other mice had piled on the pounds.

3. How does the sense of smell affect our bodies to lose weight?
It’s thought that when the body is unable to smell food, it’s “tricked” into thinking that it has already eaten, leading it to burn off the calories from food instead of storing it.

IV. Language study
Translate the sentences. Pay attention to the sentence structures.
1. Cutting down on fatty food or exercising more are the most well-known ways to lose weight, but have you ever considered the part our noses play in how much we weigh?
•But 连词连接两个并列的句子。
•Cutting down on fatty food or exercising more为动名词短语作主语。
•play a part 意为起作用,有影响。
•句意为:减少脂肪摄入和锻炼是最为人们熟知的减肥方法,但是你想到过我们的嗅觉在减肥中所起的作用吗?

2. To reach this conclusion, several mice, some of which had their ability to smell “switched off”, were fed the same amounts of fatty food.
•reach this conclusion意为得出结论。
•some of which引导非限定性定语从句,先行词为several mice。
• 句意为:为了得出这个结论,研究人员给一些老鼠喂了等量的高脂食物,并“关掉”了部分老鼠的嗅觉能力。

3. If we can validate (证实) this in humans, perhaps we can actually make a drug that doesn’t interfere (妨碍) with smell but still blocks that metabolic circuitry (线路)
• that引导限定性定语从句,修饰先行词a drug。
•not...but意为不是......而是。
•句意为:如果这个研究结论能在人类身上证实的话,我们就可能研制出一种不会妨碍嗅觉,但还能阻碍有关卡路里储存的新陈代谢的药。
