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.
幾周前,英國一些不太嚴謹的報紙發佈了一份「研究」,該研究的內容是:哪些跡象暴露出你已陷入中年危機。根據該研究,陷入中年危機有許多明顯的信號,包括開始服用維他命、上Facebook搜尋舊情人的主頁,等等。英國《金融時報》科技編輯克萊夫•庫克森(Clive Cookson)不知爲何無視了這個報導,或許是因爲該研究是一家渴望出名的生髮診所根據各種可預見事實拼湊出來的。
