　　研究人员为他们的实验提供了一个很合适的实验工具，赌博用的骰子本身就象征着罪恶的活动。

　　They wanted to find out whether people were more likely to lie about the result of a die rollwhen asked that result immediately, or when given time to think.

　　他们想看看人们到底是在什么情况下更容易撒谎，是在需要立即报告骰子点数的情况下还是有足够的时间的情况下。

　　To carry out their experiment, Dr Shalvi, Dr Eldar and Dr Bereby-Meyer gave each of 76volunteers a six-sided die and a cup.

　　为了进行实验，Ben-Gurion、 Ori Eldar 和 Yoella Bereby-Meye博士为76个志愿参与实验的人每人一个六面的骰子和一个杯子。

　　Participants were told that a number of them, chosen at random, would earn ten shekels foreach pip of the numeral they rolled on the die.

　　他们告诉参与实验的人，他们随意摇出的骰子的点数，每一点可获得10谢克尔。

　　They were then instructed to shake their cups, check the outcome of the rolled die andremember this roll.

　　然后参与实验的人按照规定摇骰子，检查这一轮他们摇出的点数并且记住它。

　　Next, they were asked to roll the die two more times, to satisfy themselves that it was notloaded, and, that done, to enter the result of the first roll on a computer terminal.
