Eichmann stumbled across the link between diet and beriberi by accident in 1897. He noticed that chickens fed with polished rice developed beriberi, but they soon recovered when their diet reverted to kitchen scraps.

1897年， 艾希曼偶然发现了饮食与脚气病之间联系。 他注意到，食用精米小鸡患上了脚气病，但当它们饮食恢复到厨房残羹时， 很快又康复了。

Not content with insect mind-control, some types of fungi can trouble humans, causing irritations like athlete's foot, as well as the more deadly histoplasmosis.

不满足于昆虫精神控制，某些类型真菌会困扰人类，引起脚气等刺激，以及更致命浆菌病。

He began to consider the possibility that eating unpolished rice somehow prevented or cured " beriberi" -even that a lack of some element in the husk might be the cause of the disease.

他开始考虑吃未精米可能性，以某方式预防或治愈“脚气病”——即使稻壳中缺乏某元素也可能是导致疾病原因。

While it took until 1936 for the chemical structure of this anti-beriberi factor, later named thiamine or vitamin B1, to be described, Funk had identified the existence of vitamins.

尽管直到1936年才描述了抗脚气病因子化学结构，该因子后来被命名为硫胺素或维生素B1，但福克已经确认了维生素存在。

In the early years of this century, a scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of " beriberi" .

本世纪初，一位名叫艾克曼科学家试图找出“脚气病”病因。

Isolating Vitamins The anti-beriberi factor was finally identified by Japanese researcher Umetaro Suzuki.

提取维生素 抗脚气病因子最终被日本研究员铃木梅太郎识别。

The element needed to prevent " beriberi" was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as vitamin B. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our know-edge of vitamins.

不久之后，人们从稻壳中分离出了预防“脚气病”所需元素，现在被称为维生素 B。如今，由于我们对维生素了解，可怕疾病已不再常见。

He concluded that white rice lacked an essential ingredient which he called the anti-beriberi factor.

他得出结论，白米缺少一关键成分，他称之为抗脚气病因子。

An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as " beriberi" .

限制饮食危险一个例子可以在被称为“脚气病”疾病中看到。

In 1911, Suzuki described a nutrient, he called it aberic acid, which he had extracted from rice bran and given to patients as a cure for beriberi.

1911年， 铃木描述了一营养素，他称之为阿贝里酸， 是他从米糠中提取出来并用于治疗脚气病。

Also, in 1912, Funk presented the results of studies he had performed after reading about Eichmann's earlier work on beriberi.

此外，1912年，冯克在阅读了艾希曼关于脚气病早期研究资料后，展示了其进行实验结果。

In the 1890s, Eijkman, a Dutch physician working in Indonesia, was tasked with finding a cure for beriberi, which was commonplace in Southeast Asia.

在19世纪90年代， 埃伊克曼作为一名在印度尼西亚工作荷兰医生，被赋予了寻找治疗脚气病方法任务，疾病在东南亚非常普遍。

In 1912, Kazimierz Funk, a Polish-born biochemist, coined the term vitamin when he published his hypothesis that deficiency diseases such as rickets, pelagra and beriberi are caused by a lack of vital substances in the diet.

1912年，出生在波兰生物化学家卡西米尔·冯克在其提出缺乏病如佝偻病、糙皮病和脚气病是由饮食中缺乏 vital substances（重要物质）引起假设时，创造了“维生素”个词。

Later, his colleague, Adolf Vorderman, conducted controlled experiments with prison inmates, some eating polished rice and some eating unpolished rice, showing that the anti-beriberi factor was present in rice husks and kernels.

后来，他同事阿道夫·冯德曼对监狱囚犯进行了对照实验，一部分人食用精米，另一部分人食用糙米，结果显示抗脚气病因子存在于稻壳和米粒中。

It was at the latter that he conducted his pioneering work on vitamins, researching beriberi, scurvy, pellagra and rickets.

正是在后者（伦敦李斯特研究所）， 他开展了维生素领域开创性工作，研究了脚气病、坏血病、糙皮病和佝偻病。
