Imagine you're given a test with 20 simple math problems. You have 5 minutes to solve as many as possible and the better you do, the more you'll get paid. When time's up, you're instructed to drop the paper into a shredder. But it's not really going to be shredded.
假设你去做一个测试,测试内容是20道简单的数学题。你可以在5分钟之内尽可能多做,做得越多,酬劳越高。时间一到,你就按照指示把答题纸扔进碎纸机。只不过,答题纸并不会真的被粉碎。
Intead, the Duke University researchers who devised this experiment hold onto the test. So later, when you report how well you did, they can check to see whether you're lying.
这时候,设计这个实验的杜克大学研究人员还在测试你。之后当你汇报自己的成绩时,他们便可以检查你是否在撒谎。
And if you're like most people, you've probably fibbed a little bit.
实验结果表明大多数人都会撒点小谎。
That's because "scheming and dishonesty are part of what makes us human," according to the cover story in the June issue of National Geographic.
根据《国家地理》杂志六月刊的一篇封面故事,这是由于“欺骗和不诚实都是人性的一部分”。
