2021考研英语同源外刊3月:用手抓会让食物变得美味?

Eating food with your hands makes it taste better, a study shows - but beware, it also makes you eat more.

一项研究表明，用手吃东西会让食物更好吃，但你也要注意，用手吃东西也会让你吃得更多。

Being able to physically touch the food enhances the brain's sensory perceptions, scientists said. This means that even before food reaches the mouth, touching it makes the brain think it is tastier and more satisfying than it would be if using cutlery.

科学家们声称，让身体与食物接触可以增强大脑的感知能力。这意味着，即使食物还没有送到嘴里，触摸它也会让大脑认为它比使用餐具吃起来更美味、更令人满足。

But researchers found that the effects were only present in people who typically restrict their diet. People who tend to eat what they want did not find food tastier if they held it first.

但研究人员发现，这种影响仅限于那些平时控制饮食的人。那些想吃什么就吃什么的人，就算让他们先拿着食物，他们也不会觉得食物更美味了。

Stevens University in New York, asked 45 volunteers to look at a cube of Muenster cheese before holding it and then eating it. Half of the participants held the food on a cocktail stick, while the other half held it with their fingers.

纽约斯蒂文斯理工学院的研究人员让45名志愿者在拿起并吃掉一块明斯特奶酪之前先看一下。其中一半的参与者用取食签拿起食物，另一半参与者则直接用手拿起食物。

Participants who said they normally have ahigh level of self-control over what they eat thought the cheese was tastier if they held it.

那些声称自己平时对于食物有很强的的自制力的参与者认为用手拿着会让奶酪变得更美味。

The findings were not seen in those who reported a low level of control when eating, even when they held the cheese with their fingers. The findings were published in the Journal of Retailing.

研究还发现，那些对食物自制力低下的人即使用手抓着奶酪吃也不会产生这种感觉。这项发现被发表于《零售》期刊上。

For people who regularly control their food consumption, direct touch triggers an enhanced sensory response, making food more desirable and appealing.

对于那些经常控制自己摄食量的人来说，直接触摸能够触发一种强烈的感官反应，让食物变得更诱人、更有吸引力。
