According to the Daily Telegraph of September 3, researchers discovered that the love of wanting to keep fit is in your genes and can be passed on from generation to generation.

据《每日电讯报》9月3日报道，科学家指出，人们保持健康运动的喜好跟基因有关，并且可以一代一代遗传下来。

In the future, people who suffer from laziness could be treated with medicine that targets the genes that specifically promote activity，which may become a breakthrough in the treatment of obesity.

这一发现意味着，患有懒惰症的人未来可能可以用针对增进活跃度基因的药物治疗。这可能在与肥胖的战斗中成为一项重要突破。

Scientists from the University of California found that on laboratory mice activity levels could be enhanced by selective breeding, which is the process of breeding animals for particular genetic traits.

来自加利福尼亚大学的研究人员发现，通过选择育种能增进小鼠的活动水平。选择育种就是为获得特定基因特征繁育动物的过程。
