So, this is a dinosaur bone from our collection.

So a lot of people think that cancer is a modern disease.

是以，很多人認為癌症是一種現代病。

But we know from the fossil record from 200 million years ago that dinosaurs were affected by cancer too.

但我們從兩億年前的化石記錄中得知。恐龍也會患癌症。

The difference between dinosaurs of the past and us living in our world today, is that there are different factors that can contribute and lead to cancer.

過去的恐龍與我們今天生活的世界的不同之處在於，有不同的因素會導致癌症。

Around four in 10 cancers could be prevented through things that we can change ourselves, such as keeping a healthy weight, being more active.

大約十分之四的癌症是可以預防的。通過我們自己可以改變的事情，比如保持健康的體重、多運動。

But there are some things that we do that can increase our risk of cancer, and we need to know what those are so that we can reduce our risk and live as healthier life as possible.

但是，我們所做的某些事情會增加患癌症的風險，我們需要知道這些事情是什麼，這樣才能降低風險，儘可能過上更健康的生活。

[THREE WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF CANCER]

Smoking is the biggest preventable cause of cancer in the UK.

在英國，吸菸是導致癌症的最大可預防原因。

Not just lung cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and bowel cancer and many, many more.

不僅僅是肺癌，食道癌、宮頸癌、腎癌、膀胱癌、腸癌等等，還有很多很多。

And it's not just burning tobacco, lighting cigarettes that does it.

這不僅僅是燃燒菸草、點燃香菸的問題。

Things like shisha can cause cancers, as can smokeless tobacco too.

水煙之類的東西會導致癌症。無煙菸草也是如此。

經常有人問我關於吸電子菸的問題。

And whether it's more harmful than cigarettes.

The field or the area of vaping hasn't been well studied. We haven't been doing this long enough to really understand.

電子煙領域目前還沒有深入研究。我們從事這個領域的時間還不夠長，無法真正理解。

So for those who are smoking and using vaping as a transition out of that, I hope that that continues to work for you.

對於那些正在吸菸並將吸食電子煙作為戒菸過渡的人來說，希望你能繼續堅持下去。

Um, but for those who have considered picking up vaping, I would highly suggest that you don't. We just don't know the impacts.

但那些考慮吸菸的人，我強烈建議你們不要吸菸，因為我們不知道吸菸會產生什麼影響。

Stopping smoke and by far is the best thing you can do for your health.

到目前為止，戒菸是對健康最好的選擇。

The human papilloma virus or HPV is a common virus.

人類乳突病毒或 HPV 是一種常見的病毒。

And actually eight out of 10 of us will be infected with this virus at some time.

實際上，我們每 10 個人中就有 8 個人會感染這種病毒。

Most of the time, HPV is symptomless and has no issues.

大多數情況下，人類乳突病毒沒有症狀，也不會造成任何問題。

We can actually clear this virus ourselves most of the time.

實際上，大多數時候我們都可以自己清除這種病毒。

But in those that are unable to clear it, it can cause cell changes, which can lead to abnormal cells, which can then lead on to cervical cancer.

但對於那些無法清除它的人來說，它會導致細胞發生變化，從而導致異常細胞，進而引發子宮頸癌。

It wasn't really in public awareness until personalities like Jade Goody talked about her cervical cancer struggle.

直到像 Jade Goody 這樣的名人談起她與子宮頸癌的鬥爭，子宮頸癌才真正被公眾所認識。

But understanding HPV, preventing HPV and screening for HPV are one of the main important things we can do to reduce the risk of cervical cancer and other cancers too.

但是，瞭解人類乳突病毒、預防人類乳突病毒和篩查人類乳突病毒是我們可以做的降低子宮頸癌和其他癌症風險的主要重要事情之一。

But the good news is that the HPV vaccination that we now give to girls and boys is helping to stop the spread of the infection.

但好消息是，我們現在為女孩和男孩接種的人類乳突病毒疫苗正在幫助阻止這種感染的傳播。

Did you know that one in 10 cases of lung cancer are caused by air pollution?

你知道每 10 例肺癌中就有 1 例是由空氣汙染引起的嗎？

Obviously, the majority of them come from smoking, which is sort of very direct air pollution directly into your lungs.

很明顯，其中大部分來自吸菸，這是一種直接進入肺部的非常直接的空氣汙染。

But the way it works is tiny molecules in the air floating around pollutants and things like cars from factories and from other sources can get into the lungs.

但它的工作原理是空氣中漂浮著汙染物的微小分子，以及來自工廠和其他來源的汽車等東西，會進入肺部。

They can irritate them and they wake up some sleeping damage cells there, which can go on to become lung cancer

它們會刺激這些細胞，並喚醒一些沉睡的損傷細胞，這些細胞可能會發展成肺癌

Levels of air pollution are higher in towns and in cities, but we also know that smoke indoors from wood fires or passive smoking can also increase your risk of getting lung cancer.

城鎮和城市的空氣汙染水準較高，但我們也知道，木柴生火或被動吸菸產生的室內煙霧也會增加患肺癌的風險。

It's not easy to move away from where you live in order to reduce your risk of air pollution and therefore your risk of cancer.

為了降低空氣汙染的風險，進而降低患癌症的風險，搬離居住地並非易事。

So what we need is we need lots of action to make the world we live in a much greener, cleaner place.

所以我們需要的是採取大量行動，讓我們生活的世界變得更加綠色、乾淨。

Sometimes this sort of thing can sound scary, you know, we live in a world where there's lots of things around us that can potentially cause us harm.

有時候，這種事情聽起來很可怕，要知道，我們生活的世界裡，周圍有很多東西都有可能對我們造成傷害。

However, there's an awful lot we can do to prevent more cancers.

然而，我們可以做很多事情來預防更多的癌症。

So the future of cancer research is really bright and it's really exciting that people are living longer and living healthier even post-cancer diagnosis.

因此，癌症研究的未來非常光明，令人興奮的是，即使在癌症診斷後，人們的壽命仍然更長，生活得更健康。

There are so many brilliant research teams in the UK, around the world who are really examining every aspect of cancer and how we can tackle it.

英國和世界各地都有許多出色的研究團隊，他們正在研究癌症的方方面面，以及我們如何才能解決癌症問題，

Whether it's through diagnosing it better, through imaging technologies or blood tests and finding new treatments that, you know, help people live better quality lives whilst being treated for cancer.

無論是通過更好地診斷癌症，還是通過成像技術或血液檢測，以及尋找新的治療方法，幫助人們在接受癌症治療的同時過上更高品質的生活。

And yes, of course, there are some things that can increase your risk of getting cancer, but the important thing is that if you know about these risks, you can take steps to try and reduce your risk in life.

是的，當然，有些事情會增加你患癌症的風險，但重要的是，如果你瞭解這些風險，你就可以採取措施，在生活中努力降低風險。

And you can try and live as healthier life as possible.

你可以嘗試儘可能健康地生活。

There's no miracle cure for cancer, but if you do notice anything that's wrong with you, go to the doctors and as sooner you're spotted, the sooner you can be treated and the sooner you can just have a healthy life.

癌症沒有靈丹妙藥，但如果你發現自己有什麼不對勁的地方，就去看醫生，越早發現，就能越早治療，也就能越早過上健康的生活。
