You've translated that design into your laboratory? Absolutely.

听说你也在实验室做了相同实验 是的

It would be interesting to do that work in children but you can't.

不过我们不能用孩子来做实验

Ethically¹ you cant² be giving alcohol to kids

这与我们的社会道德感相冲突

so one way weve been trying to do that is looking at an animal model -

所以我们用动物作为实验的对象

a very simple animal model of adolescence³ and we used rats.

我用了最容易找到的青春期老鼠

Linda re-ran the experiment for me.

琳达为我重新做了这个实验

The idea was to compare teenage with adult rats after theyd had a dose of alcohol

让青春期和成年老鼠都喝了酒后

and see which one was better at keeping their balance.

看看哪个的平衡感更好

So the rats were put upside down on a slope -

老鼠被面朝下放到一个斜坡上

a spot they would immediately try to get out of but would they be able to?

看他们是不是能够离开

The first on was a teenage rat.

第一只是青春期的老鼠

And he made it.
