A double chin is the dreaded sight faced by many people looking into a mirror. 许多人照镜子时看到自己的双下巴都会吓一跳。 Now, a U.S. company claims to have invented an injection which can banish that chin bulge. 现在，一家美国公司宣称已经研发出一种可以消除下巴赘肉的注射药物。 ATX-101, an experimental drug made by California-based Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, is injected into the skin over a series of treatments spaced no less than one month apart. 该公司名为基西拉生物制药（Kythera Biopharmaceuticals），总部位于加利福尼亚。其研发出的试验药物ATX-101在一系列的治疗之后不到一个月就可以注射到皮肤中。 The drug is a type of deoxycholic acid - a naturally-occurring molecule that helps the body break down fat, according to Kythera's website. 基西拉公司网站上称该药物属于脱氧胆酸——是一种自然形成的分子，能帮助身体分解脂肪。 It acts 'immediately on targeted fat cells' but is 'rapidly cleared' from the chin, leaving surrounded tissue largely unaffected, Kythera claims. 基西拉表示它能对“目标脂肪细胞”迅速发挥效用，完成使命后会从下巴中“立马消失”，不会对周围组织造成什么影响。 It says fat under the chin is influenced by ageing and genetics, and can often not be changed by diet and exercise alone. |
