原文：

A team from Japan took home the biology award for demonstrating that painting cows with black and white stripes did, in fact, halve the amount of times they were bitten by flies, providing a possible alternative to using pesticides.

The scientists noted that flies can be attracted to animals due to factors like their smell, shape, movement, colour - as well as how they polarise light, which black and white stripes do.

They argued that painting cows could reduce pesticide use while preventing more livestock from health problems associated with bites.

译文：

日本团队获得了搞笑诺贝尔生物学奖，他们证明了给牛涂上黑白条纹能使其被苍蝇叮咬的次数减少一半，该研究为减少杀虫剂使用提供了新思路。

该研究团队指出，苍蝇会被动物的气味、形态、动作、颜色及光的偏振特征所吸引，而黑白相间的条纹正好具备这种特征。

他们认为，给牛涂上条纹不仅能减少杀虫剂的使用，还能避免牲畜因被叮咬而产生健康问题。
