BBC环球慢速英语 第326期:一个人类基因组(7)

voice 1: This very small tenth of one percent of different genes is what makes you you. All the other genes making up your DNA are the same as everyone else all across the world. People from Asia, Africa, America, Europe and everywhere in the world are all made up of the same materials. Their genes are almost exactly the same.
声音1：而这仅有的0.1%的不同基因造就了你。你所有其他组成DNA的基因都与世界上各地的其他人一样。来自亚洲、非洲、美洲、欧洲等世界各地的人都由同样的物质组成。他们的基因几乎完全相同。

voice 2: Usually people only think about the differences they see in other people. It's true that every person is different. People have different colour skin. They have different colour eyes. Some people have short fingers or long toes. You could expect that every person's DNA is also very different.
声音2：通常人们只会考虑他们在其他人身上看到的不同之处。的确，所有人都是不同的。人们的肤色不同。人们的眼睛颜色也不同。有些人手指短或脚趾长。你可能以为所有人的DNA也是不同的。

voice 1: Sometimes people are afraid of other people who are different than them. People usually like to stay by people they think are similar to themselves. But the Human Genome Project showed that people are more similar to each other than they think.
声音1：有时人们害怕和他们不同的人。一般来说，人们喜欢呆在他们认为和自己类似的人身边。但是“人类基因组计划”显示，人们彼此之间的相似之处比他们所认为的要多。
