With only 50 people involved in the research, we should be wary of making too many generalizations on this study alone, but it's an interesting pointer towards how a little bit of drink could grease the wheels as far as talking in a foreign language is concerned.

由于这项研究的样本只有50个，我们注意不要就此得出普遍性的结论；但是用外语交流前，喝点酒可以让我们外语讲得更加流利，这确实是一个有趣的发现。

"It is important to point out that participants in this study consumed a low dose of alcohol," adds one of the team. "Higher levels of alcohol consumption might not have beneficial effects on the pronunciation of a foreign language."

一位研究人员称，“需要指出的是，实验对象摄入的酒精剂量很低，酒精摄入量增加可能不会对饮酒者的外语发音产生有益影响。”

In other words, this effect probably doesn't get better if you just keep on drinking – eventually no one will be able to understand you at all.

换句话说，如果你饮酒过量，这种作用可能就会消失，因为没人能听懂喝醉后口齿不清地胡言乱语。

The research has been published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.

该研究结果已发表在《精神病理学杂志》上。
