||1:The software picks up clues that are unavailable in medical records.||2:Recklessness in one part of someone’s life is a pretty good signal of risk appetite in others, for example.||3:A prospective policyholder with numerous speeding tickets is more likely than a safer driver to end up with a sports injury.||4:The software also detects obscure correlations.||5:People who frequent ATMs so they can make cash payments tend to live longer than those who prefer writing cheques or paying with credit cards, it turns out.||6:People with long commutes tend to die younger.||7:Why this should be is not clear: some speculate that ATM users tend to be more spontaneous types, who like to have cash in their pocket and whose lifestyle may be more active; others hypothesise that sedentary commutes mean less time to do something healthy in the evening.

||1:软件会处理那些医药记录不能提供的线索。||2:若评估个人健康问题时对某一部分粗心大意，那么在其他方面可能就要承担极大的风险。||3:与谨慎开车的投保人相比，一位有大量超速罚单的潜在投保人很可能死于运动创伤。||4:这款软件同样可以检测潜在的联系。||5:人们发现经常去ATM取钱并用现金支付的人往往会比写支票或使用信用卡支付的人活的更长，事实也是如此。||6:那些通勤时间较长的人也倾向于“英年早逝”。||7:为什么会是这样人们还不清楚，不过一些人推测理由是因为ATM用户一般都为主动型的用户，他们口袋中有现金，他们在生活中更主动；其他人认为较频繁的往来路程意味着他能做健康活动的时间更少。

||1: It is a plausible theory. Because they grew from a small number of founder colonies, or possibly even a single one, New Zealand’s Argentine ants are genetically similar to one another (the same is true of most infestations outside the ants’ homeland). ||2: That may be one reason for their success: ant researchers hypothesise that, being so closely related, the individual insects are unable to distinguish their nest mates from members of other colonies, which causes ants from different nests to co-operate as if they were kin, and has led students of the field to speak not of hundreds of individual infestations, but of a single, country-spanning “super-colony”.

||1:这种理论可信。因为它们是从很小的群体（或者可能是单一个体）发展起来的，新西兰的阿根廷蚂蚁之间的基因非常相似（蚁巢以外的侵扰也同样具有该特点）。||2:这也许是它们成功的原因之一：蚂蚁研究者假定，关系紧密的个体昆虫不能够把同巢穴的同伴同其它聚居区的成员区分开来，这导致来自不同巢穴的蚂蚁就像亲戚一样相互合作。这使得这一领域的学者不再谈及成百的个体侵扰，而是谈及单一的、跨越全国的“超级群体”。

Dr Gluckman and Dr Forrester thus hypothesise that the capacity for a marasmus-style response to malnutrition, with its higher survival rate, is programmed into fetuses by maternal malnourishment.

两位博士据此假设身体虚弱消瘦体质是因为营养不良，消瘦体质存活率很高，计入母亲营养不良所致。

The researchers hypothesise that what is being measured here is the result of propaganda and censorship,

研究人员假设，这里所衡量的是宣传和审查的结果，

That may be one reason for their success: ant researchers hypothesise that, being so closely related,

这也许是它们成功的原因之一：蚂蚁研究者假定，
