Do I really know how much I'm drinking?
我对自己喝了多少酒真的心里有数吗？
The guidelines advise adults consume 14 units of alcohol per week, maximum. Considering the average pint is 2-3 units, this might not sound like much - but these limits aren't just there to spoil our fun.
指导方针建议成年人每周最多喝14单位的酒。鉴于平均每品脱为2至3单位，所以每周建议的饮酒量并不是很多--但设立这些限制并不只是为了不让我们寻开心。
"The guidelines are quite strict, but they are based on the findings of hundreds of carefully conducted studies," says Paul Wallace, chief medical adviser to advice service Drinkaware.
"指导方针非常严格，但却是基于几百项精心开展的实验制定的，"保罗·华莱士说道，他是咨询服务协会Drinkaware的首席医疗咨询师。
"If you want to stay fit and well and feel healthy too, then sticking to them is important. The only way to do that is to know your units and to keep a careful eye on your drinking."
"如果你想保持健康、真真实实的觉得健康，那么坚持这些指导方针是很重要的。坚持下去的唯一方法就是知道自己喝了多少酒，时刻留意自己的饮酒量。"
"Most people know about the links between alcohol and liver disease, but did you know it's also a risk factor for high blood pressure, stroke, and various cancers? And contrary to what most people think, alcohol is not a stimulant - it's a depressant."
"大多数人都知道饮酒与肝脏疾病之间的关系，但你知道吗？饮酒也是导致高血压、中风以及各种癌症的危险因素。与大多数人的观念相反，酒精不是兴奋剂--而是一种抑制剂。"
Am I clued up enough about Type 2 diabetes?
我对2型糖尿病是否足够了解？
Almost 3.5 million people in the UK are diagnosed with diabetes, and 90% have Type 2, which is heavily associated with lifestyle factors. "Men are at greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, but we don't know why," says Libby Dowling, Diabetes UK senior clinical adviser.
英国有近350万人被诊断出患有糖尿病，而90%的患者患的是2型糖尿病，这一疾病与生活方式息息相关。"男性更容易患上2型糖尿病，但我们却不知道个中缘由，"英国糖尿病协会的高级临床咨询师利比·道林说道。
"You're more at risk if you're white and over 40, or over 25 if you're African-Caribbean, Black African or South Asian. Plus, if you have a waist ?measuring 37 inches or more, or 35 inches for men of South Asian origin."
"如果你是年过40的白种人，或是25岁以上的非洲裔加勒比人、黑人或南亚人，那么你得2型糖尿病的风险会更高。此外，如果你的腰围达37英寸及以上，或者对南亚男性来说，35英寸，那么你们的风险也很高。"
"Erectile dysfunction is known to be a complication of diabetes. Other ?symptoms include increased thirst, tiredness and needing to pee frequently. Type 2 diabetes can lead to blindness, amputations and stroke. To reduce your risk, maintaining a healthy weight's important."
"勃起功能障碍是糖尿病的并发症。其它症状包括总是口渴、疲劳，需要经常上厕所。2型糖尿病或导致失明、截肢和中风。为了减少罹患2型糖尿病的风险，保持健康的体重是很重要的。"
Am I fooling myself that it's fine to smoke if I'm also a fitness fan?
如果我是一名健身爱好者，那么对自己说吸烟没什么关系是不是自欺欺人呢？
You hit the gym a few times a week and can outrun lots of your mates - so what harm can a few cheeky cigarettes do, right? But Sophia Lowes, Cancer Research UK's health information officer, warns you are taking a big risk.
你每周都去几次健身房，次数比你的队友还多--所以，抽几根烟又会有什么坏处呢？但英国癌症研究机构的卫生信息员苏菲亚·洛斯警告这些人：你们冒的风险太大了。
