According to the Foxnews, painful memories of people could be erased from their mind by a new medical technology, a research made by Johns Hopkins University suggests. 据国外网站“the Foxnews”报道，约翰.霍普金斯大学一项研究表明，一种新型药物技术可以“抹去”人们的痛苦记忆。 The Johns Hopkins researchers say they are working on ways to remove the proteins from the brain's fear center, which would erase painful memories of people forever. 约翰?霍普金斯大学的研究人员说，他们正在想法设法通过摘除大脑“恐惧”中枢的特殊蛋白质，来永久删除人们的痛苦记忆。 "When a traumatic event occurs, it creates a fearful memory that can last a lifetime and have a debilitating effect on a person's life," said Richard L. Huganir, professor at the Hopkins School of Medicine. 霍普金斯大学医学院教授理查德L.胡格尼尔教授说：“当一项创伤性事件发生时，大脑里会产生可持续一生的可怕记忆，对一个人的生活造成很坏的影响。” Huganir and his colleges discovered a "window of vulnerability" when unique receptor proteins are created. Because the proteins are unstable, they can be easily removed with drugs or behavior therapy, ensuring the memory is eliminated forever. 胡格尼尔教授和他的同事们发现，当痛苦记忆这个“脆弱之窗”产生时，大脑里会形成独特的受体蛋白。由于这种蛋白非常不稳定，因此可以利用药物和行为治疗轻松除去它们，永久性清除创伤性记忆。 Kate Farinholt, member of NAMI Maryland, a mental health support group, said, while it may be beneficial to erase a memory, there are still unanswered questions. 马里兰心理健康援助组织的凯特.法琳霍尔特警告说，尽管消除记忆可能会带来好处，但是目前还有很多无法回答的问题有待解决。

我就在网上帮你找的，呵呵这个是英国广播公司BBC的新闻稿子原文： Pope Benedict has been celebrating Christmas midnight Mass at Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. The service was broadcasted to more than forty countries around the world. Although it was conducted in Latin, the worldwide reach of the Roman Catholic Church was represented by readings and prayers in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Arabic and Tagalog spoken in the Philippines. The Cuban authorities are reported to have flown in a leading Spanish surgeon for consultations on the health of President Fidel Castro. A Spanish newspaper reported that the head of the surgery at the Madrid hospital, Hose Luis Garcia Sabrido, had arrived in Havana several days ago. Stephen Gibbs reports from Havana. The Barcelona-based newspaper says the Doctor Garcia flew to Havana last Thursday on a jet chartered by the Cuban government. It says he came to give his professional advice on whether President Castro should undergo further surgery. There has been no confirmation from the Cuban government of any aspect of the report. Doctor Garcia is however understood to have been in Havana just last month, on that occasion to take part in an international conference on surgery. This is BBC world news. Georgia says it has agreed to buy eight hundred million cubic meters of gas from Turkey next year almost half of its needs. The price has not been disclosed, but the announcement follows Georgia agreeing last week to buy slightly larger amount from the Russian state-controlled Gazprom at double its previous price. The Iranian parliament has described the United Nation Security Council decision to impose sanctions on Iran because of its nuclear programme as unjust and illegal. The big majority of Iranian deputies have approved a bill, instructing the government to review cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The former Chilean military ruler General Augusto Pinochet who died earlier this month has left a posthumous letter. The letter was published by a group of his supporters who said it had been received in 2004. Simon Watts reports. General Pinochet saw himself as a warrior hero, but he was pursued to the last by investigations into alleged human rights abuses. Trying to salvage his reputation from beyond the grave, the general says he was proud of stopping a Marxist dictatorship. Referring to the estimated three thousand deaths during his rule, he says tough measures were needed but he was more flexible than generally realized. The letter reveals how unappreciated General Pinochet felt in his final days. He says there was a kind of banishment and unimagined loneliness. A contact of a former Russian agent who died in British after contracting radiation poisoning has been arrested in Naples. The man Mario Scaramella met the Russian Alexander Litvenenko on the day he became ill. Mr. Scaramella who has also been affected by radiation was arrested on his return from London. The BBC correspondent in Italy says the arrest is connected with the long-running investigation into arms trafficking and is not related to the death of Mr. Litvenenko. BBC world news.
