【2.22早間】為什么打哈欠?會傳染?

Question1:
Our first physiological hypothesis states that contagious yawning is triggered by a specific ______ —— an initial yawn.
A.stimulus
B.stipulate
答案:
A選項正確。A選項stimulus的意思是“刺激物”,聽力中提到:“我們的第一個生理學假說就是,打哈欠之所以會傳染,是因為被一種特殊的刺激物所引發(fā)——第一個哈欠”,B選項stipulate的意思是“規(guī)定”,與原文不符合。
Question2:
The first hypothesis is that contagious yawning is like the dominos that you can't stop it until the process ends.
A.True.
B.False.
答案:
A選項正確。聽力原文中提到:“Similar to a domino effect … once this reflex is triggered, it must run its course.”,由此可知,打哈欠的傳染性就像是多米諾骨牌一樣,一旦開始,就必須完成整個過程,才能停止。
今日單詞:
phenomenon n. (尤指不尋常的或有趣的)現(xiàn)象
contagious adj. 有感染力的
trigger v. (引起)一件事或情況
今日短語:
be known as 通常名叫
domino effect 多米諾(骨牌)效應
run its course 持續(xù)到自然結束

打哈欠為什么會傳染??
打哈欠觸發(fā)的一系列行為,通常是由于情緒共鳴、大腦模仿行為、從眾心理等導致的。?
1.情緒共鳴:如一個人出現(xiàn)打哈欠的行為,周圍人會產(chǎn)生共鳴情緒,也感受到同樣的情緒,這種情況下人們就會不自覺出現(xiàn)打哈欠的行為。?
2.大腦模仿行為:周圍人在做出打哈欠的動作時,自身視覺會對大腦皮層作出刺激反應,本能做出打哈欠的行為。?
3.從眾心理:人們行為通常會受到周圍環(huán)境影響,如果這時候有人做出打哈欠的行為,那么其余人就會收到心理暗示,從而做出打哈欠的行為。
逐句精聽(機翻)
Have you ever yawned because somebody else yawned? You aren't especially tired, yet suddenly your mouth opens wide, and a big yawn comes out.?
你曾經(jīng)因為別人打哈欠而打哈欠嗎?你不是特別累,但突然你的嘴張得大大的,打了一個大大的哈欠。
This phenomenon is known as “contagious yawning”. And while scientists still don't fully understand why it happens, there are many hypothesis currently being researched.
這種現(xiàn)象被稱為傳染性哈欠。雖然科學家們還沒有完全理解為什么會發(fā)生這種情況,但目前有許多假設正在研究中。
Our first physiological hypothesis states that contagious yawning is triggered by a specific stimulus, an initial yawn.?
我們的第一個生理學假設是,傳染性哈欠是由一個特定的刺激,即最初的哈欠引發(fā)的。
This is called "fixed action pattern". Think of fixed action pattern, like a reflex.?
這被稱為“固定動作模式”。這是一種固定的行為模式,就像條件反射一樣。
Your yawn makes me yawn. Similar to a domino effect. One person's yawn triggers a yawn in a person nearby that has observed the act.?
你的哈欠讓我也打哈欠。類似于多米諾骨牌效應。一個人的打哈欠會引起附近觀察到這一行為的人的打哈欠。
Once this reflex is triggered, it must run its course. Have you ever tried to stop a yawn once it has begun? Basically impossible!
一旦這種反射被觸發(fā),就必須順其自然。你有沒有試過在打哈欠開始的時候阻止它?基本上不可能的!
