德系犹太人

Ashkenazi history begins with the Jewish rebellion against Roman rule in the first century AD.

德系犹太人的历史源于公元1世纪。

Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disorder that is common amongst Ashkenazi Jews.

泰-萨克斯病是一种隐性遗传性疾病是常见的，其中德系犹太人。

If that turns out to be the case, it will strengthen the idea that, albeit unwillingly, Ashkenazi Jews have been part of an accidental experiment in eugenics. It has brought them some advantages.

尽管有人不愿接受，假如确实如此的话，它将有力地证明，德系犹太人在不经意间经历了优生实验，而这为他们带来了智商上的优势。

A few years ago two of the paper's other authors, Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending, suggested that the Gaucher's form of the gene might be connected with the higher than average intelligence notable among Ashkenazi Jews.

几年前，文章的另外两个作者，Gregory Cochran和Henry Harpending认为基因的Gaucher形式与德系犹太人高于平均水平的智力有联系。

Ashkenazim generally do well in IQ tests, scoring 12-15 points above the mean value of 100, and have contributed disproportionately to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the careers of Freud, Einstein and Mahler, pictured above, affirm. They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as Tay-Sachs and breast cancer.

德系犹太人不仅在IQ测试上表现不俗，正常人一般在100分左右，而他们大多都能得个112-115分，而且虽然人数不多，但他们在欧洲知识、文化生活中的地位却举足轻重。

In the case of Ashkenazim, Dr Cochran argues, this is not the case.

但对德系犹太人来说，情况却并非如此。

In the case of Ashkenazim, Dr Cochran argues, this is not the case.

但对德系犹太人来说， Cochran医生指出，情况却并非如此。

His argument is that the unusual history of the Ashkenazim has subjected them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this paradoxical state of affairs.

他认为正是异常的历史环境强加给了德系犹太人独有的进化压力，才导致了这些看似奇怪的现象。

Even now, Ashkenazim tend to marry among themselves. In the past they did so almost exclusively.

前者被说成是社会原因引起的，如浓烈的价值观教育的传统；后者则被说成是基因隔离的结果，不过即使是现在，德系犹太人还是愿意同本族人结婚，在过去，就更是如此了。

The Ashkenazim paper caused quite a stir at the time.

当时，这篇关于德系犹太人的文章引发了&轩然大波&。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
