Scientists test soil for radiation near Chernobyl 科学家在切尔诺贝利核电站附近测试土壤

　　Scientists say plants exposed to radiation near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant show "unusually high" mutation rates.
　　The plants' mutation rates were six times higher than normal, the result of some unknown effects of low-level chronic exposure to radiation.
　　The scientists say it is possible that other organisms, including humans, could be affected in the same way.

切尔诺贝利核辐射使小麦变种

　　科学家指出在切尔诺贝利核电站附近遭受核辐射的植物显示出“不一般高”的变异率。
　　这些植物的变异率是正常的六倍，原因是它们遭到了长期低度的核辐射。
　　科学家还说其它的生物，包括人类，在同样情况下也会受到侵袭。
