Anyone reads both TIME and 南都周刊?

(看来老摇美国呆久了不领国内行情了,国内早就是天下文章一大抄,记得大三上一门专业课(名字已忘),有一次授课时专业课老师说课本中有个字他抄错了,当年编教材也没仔细看就直接把别人的一段文字抄了上来,我看这位老师抄错了还有点洋洋得意!)

I surely don't.

But I do read TIME and surf on Chinese internet. And I happen to be very interested in the science of food. That's why I read both of these:

Cover Story of 6/11 TIME: The Science of Appetite

南都周刊:                              理性压倒食欲的科学

Click on these two and then you will see how similar they are.

Actually if you read the paper version of that TIME issue, you will see a more obvious similarity. TIME featured a really nice picture: a young lady holding some junk food in her hand, and you can see organs in her body, with captions illustrating their functions and interactions. The 南都周刊 article's picture is similar, but doesn't make too much sense since they didn't include the captions. I was wondering why that picture was there. Now I am still wondering too, but with other reasons.

Three possibilities:
1. Plagiarism
2. Authorized translation, but failed to acknowledge.
3. These two articles happen to be based on some same scientific report, written in similar style, and they both like to use that pose in pictures!

I left a message on that article to see what they say.
