【看新闻学英语:华慧考博双新闻分享】
Sitting down in front of the television with a meal or snack after a long day is a very popular recreational pastime. And thanks to streaming services that play every episode of a television series automatically, some viewers aren’t even burning the few calories it might take to reach for the remote.
在漫长的一天结束时坐在电视机前吃东西是很受欢迎的休闲方式。现如今流媒体平台可以自动播放下一集电视剧,观众甚至连起身去拿遥控器的那点运动量都省了。
But is it sloth that keeps us chewing, or something else? Is it possible the experience of watching TV can stimulate our appetite?
但是为什么我们看电视时会不停嘴地吃?是因为懒惰,还是别的什么原因?看电视是否会刺激食欲呢?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, television isn’t so much an appetite stimulant as it is an appetite distraction. When we watch TV, we’re engaged in the program, which means we’re paying less attention to the neurological and gastronomical cues that tell us we’re getting full. Instead of taking note of how we're eating, we’re engaged in somewhat passive consumption.
克利夫兰诊所指出,与其说看电视增进食欲,不如说它分散了对食欲的注意力。当我们看电视时,我们的注意力被节目吸引,这意味着我们会忽视神经系统和胃部发出的提示饱腹的信号。我们只是被动进食,却没注意到吃了什么,好不好吃。
