互动展览启发健康生活

 The London Olympics is around 150 days away, and already, people are wondering what legacy it will leave behind. Currently, a quarter of UK adults are dangerously overweight or obese. Now a special exhibition has been set up to show young people how exercise changes their bodies.
现在距离伦敦奥运会还有150天左右，人们已经在猜想它会留下什么遗产。目前，英国四分之一的成年人有超重或肥胖的危险。现在，一个特别的展览会正在举办，展示年轻人如何通过运动改变他们的身体。

A few more leaps and these kids will not only know how high they can jump, but also their muscle strength and lung capacity.
再多一些跳跃，这些孩子不仅能知道他们能跳多高，还能知道他们的肌肉力量和肺活量。

After exercising, they touch a metal plate, connected to a neon graph showing their heart rate.
运动之后，他们触摸一块金属板，金属板连接氖气图表，显示出他们的心率。

The youngsters are being inspired to run, jump and pedal in an interactive exhibition, aimed at showing how exercise affects both them, and Olympic athletes.
在一个互动展览会上，年轻人被鼓励进行跑、跳、踩踏板，目的是要展示运动如何影响他们以及奥运会运动员。

Specially designed machines and robots reveal how their hearts are pumping and their lungs are breathing, in real time.
特别设计的机器和机器人实时地展示了心脏是如何跳动，肺是如何呼吸。

A visitor said, "Tells me that when I'm doing running and when I'm doing swimming it makes a difference between my heart beat, I'd just like to find out a little bit more and I like the bit over there where you have to press the buttons because it's all about quickness."
一位参观者称：“它告诉我，跑步、游泳的时候心跳会不同，我想了解更多一些东西，我喜欢那边那个，你得按按钮，因为它都是关于速度训练的。”

The idea is to use London's Summer Olympics to inspire children of all ages to learn and appreciate what makes their bodies tick.
用伦敦夏季奥运会来鼓励各个年龄阶层的孩子们来学习和了解是什么让他们的身体运作起来。

The exhibition has the support of a host of athletes taking part in the 2012 games, but its greatest ambassador is Sir Steve Redgrave, the proud owner of five Olympic Rowing Gold medals.
展览会虽然有许多即将参加2012年奥运会的运动员的支持，但是，最好的大使是五枚赛艇奥运金牌获得者，史蒂夫•雷德格雷夫爵士。

Sir Steve Redgrave, Olympic gold medalist, said, "They'll learn so much more about the body, how it works and from that point of view about calories in, calories out so yes that will make an impact from that point of view, but it's not an obesity legacy programme from that point of view. It's using the excitement of 2012 and this sporting year and adapting that to science, to young people engaging them in a very fun way of doing it."
奥运金牌获得者史蒂夫•雷德格雷夫爵士表示：“他们会学到更多关于身体的知识，身体是如何运作的，从卡路里的消耗和产生的观点，会对那个观点产生影响，但是这不是从肥胖遗产计划的观点来看的。它用的2012年令人兴奋的事以及这个体育年，使之与科学相适应，用一种非常有趣的方式使年轻人参与到其中。”

The emphasis on exercise has become especially important among the young because of an increase in obesity related health problems among adults and children.
强调运动在年轻人中间变得尤为重要，因为在成年人和孩子中，与健康问题相关的肥胖正在增加。

Britain's Health and Safety Executive says a quarter of UK adults are harmfully overweight, or obese.
英国健康与安全委员会表示，四分之一的英国成年人受超重或肥胖的危害。

The exhibition is touring the UK until the end of the summer.
该展览会正在英国巡回展出，直到夏季末。
