STAGNATION, writes Oliver Bullough in his haunting account of the late Soviet Union, is not sexy.

奥利弗•布洛写过一本描述前苏联晚年的著作，阅读之后令人过目难忘，不过其中“停滞部分”却让人不愿直视。

Mr Bullough largely succeeds in using this sad tale as a metaphor for the fate of the Soviet Union.

But the decision deals a blow to global efforts to root out dirty money, says Oliver Bullough, a journalist who writes on money-laundering.

Finally, the blue-violet light makes it very difficult to distinguish between different colors, Bullough says; everything becomes a shade of blue or black.

最后，布洛说，蓝紫色光使得区分不同颜色变得非常困难。一切都变成蓝色或黑色。

As a result, people driving at night may notice a moving object in their peripheral vision more quickly under bluish-white light than under yellowish-white light, Bullough says.

布洛说，因此，夜间开车的人在蓝白光下比在黄白光下可能更快地注意到周边视觉中的移动物体。

The author of a definitive book about the tortured history of the north Caucasus (“Let our Fame be Great”), Mr Bullough has a good sense of how the traumas of Russia's past affect its present.

关于叙述北高加索伤痕累累历史的著作，布洛的《让我们名声大噪》无疑是最好的一本，也就是说，对于俄罗斯过去的创伤如何影响当今时代——布洛的嗅觉像狗一样灵敏。

One thing that Bullough suggests pedestrians and drivers do to stay safe under purple streetlights-or any lights, for that matter-is to remove sunglasses and blue-light-filtering glasses when walking or driving at night.

布洛建议行人和司机在紫色路灯或任何灯光下保持安全时要做的一件事就是在夜间行走或驾车时摘下太阳镜和蓝光过滤眼镜。

" But at nighttime, " Bullough says, " we really want to have all the light that we can get." Most importantly, mishaps with purple streetlamps shouldn't be used to vilify all LED lights, Seshadri says.

“但在夜间，”布洛说，“我们真的希望拥有尽可能多的光线。”最重要的是，紫色路灯的事故不应该被用来诋毁所有 LED 灯，Seshadri 说。
