Participants were asked to rate the dishes on a scale of one to ten.

随后，他要求参与者按1~10分对食物进行评分。

Prof Spence, who runs the University of Oxford's Crossmodal Research Laboratory, found while some foods appeared to have an obvious musical accompaniment, such as Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma with pasta dishes, others proved more of a surprise, such as the connection between chilli and rock'n'roll.

牛津大学跨通道研究实验室主任——斯宾塞教授发现，有些食物的音乐伴奏似乎非常明显，比如帕瓦罗蒂的《今夜无人入睡》搭配意大利面；而其他的搭配更多是令人意外，例如辣椒和摇滚乐之间的关联。

"Nobody has looked at spiciness and music before," he told The Times.

“谁也没想到辛辣食物和音乐会有关系，他向《泰晤士报》记者讲道。

"We found that if there is music that is more alerting, more arousing, then people appreciate spicier food more."

“我们发现，音乐更提神、更振奋人心时，食客就会更喜欢偏辣的食物。

Volunteers reported that food tasted four percent spicier when listening to rock tracks than when listening to the jazz of Nina Simone.

志愿者们报告称，听摇滚乐时，食物尝起来要比听妮娜•西蒙妮的爵士乐时更辣4%。
