今天的六十秒科學人,帶你一起用英文聊音樂哦~~

今日主題:Pump Up the Bass—and Maybe Your Confidence
多聽低音音樂,讓你更自信

洪欣老師推薦:托福聽力最好的課外教材:60-Second Science
康康精選托福會考的主題,堅持每天精聽一定會進步的哦!!

建議方法:
1. 先聽兩三遍 (不看文稿)
2. 再一句一句聽寫 (每句都要聽寫數遍,直到寫出85%以上的字)
3. 最後check文稿,看哪聽不出來,單字沒背過,還是發音不熟。
4. 堅持天天聽,就能每天進步哦。

MP3音檔 (按右鍵可下載聽):喜歡的同學,幫忙推或按讚哦~~

只有音檔怎夠,聽不懂地方,不用怕,康康幫你準備好中英文稿了:

中英文稿:
We all have those confidence-surging songs we listen to before a big event. Now researchers say that the lyrics are not necessarily what make us feel dominant—it's the booming bass. That's according to a study in the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science. [Dennis Y. Hsu et al, The Music of Power: Perceptual and Behavioral Consequences of Powerful Music]
在某些大事發生前,我們都喜歡去聽一些能夠讓我們信心滿滿的歌曲。現在研究人員稱,讓我們感覺信心滿滿的不一定是歌詞,而是那濃厚悠長的低音。這是根據《社會心理和人格科學》雜誌上的一項研究而來。

Certain types of music, such as heavy metal and hip-hop, make people feel powerful and aggressive. To find out why, researchers had people listen to dozens of songs. Then they asked how powerful the participants felt while listening. Topping the list for imbuing a sense of strength: Queen's anthem "We Will Rock You." At the bottom? Baha Men's questioning "Who Let the Dogs Out?".
某些類型的音樂,如重金屬搖滾音樂和嘻哈舞曲,讓人感到有力量,有闖勁。為了找出其中的原因,研究人員讓人們聽了很多歌曲。然後詢問他們,每首歌所帶給他 們的力量如何。結果顯示,可以給予人力量的位居榜首的歌曲是像皇后樂隊的頌歌《我們將你震撼》這樣的歌曲。而位居榜尾的是像巴哈馬樂團的《誰讓狗出去的》 這樣的歌曲。

The researchers then had subjects listen to the songs and do some tests. In one, the volunteers were told they could win money if they predicted the outcome of a die roll, either by a third-party or themselves. Even though the outcome would be random in either case, those who had listened to bass-heavy music were more likely to want to be the one to roll the die.
然後,研究人員又讓參與者聽歌來做一些測試。在一組測試中,參與者們被告知,如果他們可以猜出骰子的點數,他們就能贏錢,可以他們自己猜,也可以通過第三方猜出。即使在這兩種情況下,結果都是隨機的,但是那些聽了重低音音樂的人更積極的想去投擲骰子。

In other tests, participants listening to bass-heavy music picked more powerful words when doing word exercises and were more likely to want to go first in debates. So, if you want a power boost , try just pumping up the bass.
—Erika Beras
在其他測試中顯示,在單詞練習時,那些聽著重低音音樂的參與者所選擇的詞語更強大有力,而且在辯論中也更希望沖在第一位。因此,如果你想激發自己的力量,就多聽聽低音音樂吧!——埃裡克‧貝拉斯
