Time seems to pass faster or slower depending on the language you speak, new research has revealed, because of the way your native tongue speaks about time.
新的研究表明,时间流逝的快慢取决于你掌握的语言,取决于你的母语描述时间的方式。
A team from Stellenbosch University in South Africa and the University of Lancaster in the UK say their work also shows how bilingualism encourages the brain to think in new ways.
一个由南非斯泰伦博斯大学和英国兰开斯特大学组成的研究团队称,他们的研究也揭示了双语如何使大脑用新的方式思考。
In one experiment, a computer animation of a slowly growing line was shown to 40 Spanish speakers and 40 Swedish speakers. All the animations lasted 3 seconds, but the line didn't always grow to the same length.
在一项实验中,研究者向40名西班牙语母语者和40名瑞典语母语者展示了一条逐渐变长的线的电脑动画。所有动画都持续3秒钟,但每个动画中线的长度不一。
The researchers expected that because Swedes talk about time in terms of distance, they would find it harder to accurately estimate how much time had passed—and they were right.
研究者预测,由于瑞典人习惯用物理距离来描述时间,所以他们会更难估计过了多长时间,实验证明研究者的预测是对的。
