【双语有声阅读】酒精对女性的影响(2)

One important finding is that the enzyme¹ responsible for breaking down alcohol is less active in women. This means that more alcohol winds up in a woman's bloodstream. Additionally, a woman's higher ratio of body fat makes alcohol spread through her body more slowly.

 

一项重要的研究显示，女性体内分解酒精的酶不够活跃。这意味着有较多的酒精会进入女性的血液中，再加上女性的身上脂肪较多，造成酒精散布到体内各个部位的速度较慢。
