专家称孕妇适度饮酒无害

　　Drinking alcohol while trying to conceive or during early pregnancy will not harm the baby's development, research has claimed, the Daily Mail reported.

　　据英国《每日邮报》报道，研究表明，备孕期间或怀孕早期饮酒不会对婴儿发育产生危害。

　　The research also shows how moderate drinking, one unit a day, does not affect the child's IQ and other brain functions.

　　适度饮酒，比如一天一杯，不会影响孩子的智力和其它脑功能。

　　However, high levels of consumption – nine or more drinks a week – were linked to a lower attention span at the age of five.

　　但是饮酒过多，比如一周饮酒九次以上，会影响孩子在5岁时的注意力持续时间。

　　The Danish doctors behind the research said that the findings should not be taken as a green light for pregnant women to start binge drinking.

　　进行该研究的丹麦医生认为，上述发现不应该被孕妇当作酗酒的理由。
