囧研究：用食物更易打動女人心！

Generally one thinks the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, the same can be said for women, according to a study. It found that they were much more interested in romance on a full stomach than when they hadn’t eaten.
通常人們認爲要抓住男人的心就得先攻下他的胃。而根據一項研究，這招對女人同樣適用。研究結果表明，女人在飽腹時比她們空着肚子時對浪漫表現出更大的興趣。

Brain scans carried out while the women viewed a variety of images showed that the women were ‘significantly more responsive to romantic stimuli after a meal than prior to it’, the researchers from Drexel University in Philadelphia, and the University of Pennsylvania said.
來自費城德雷克塞爾大學以及賓西法尼亞大學的研究員們稱，他們讓女性瀏覽一組照片的同時對其大腦進行掃描，所成的圖像表明女性在用餐後明顯會對浪漫刺激反應更加強烈。

‘This data suggests that eating may prime or sensitise young women to rewards beyond food,’ the psychologists wrote in the journal Appetite.
《胃口》雜誌的心理學家們稱:“這樣的實驗數據表明吃東西也許能促使女性關注除食物之外的獎勵，或使其對食物以外的獎勵更爲敏感。”

‘Across cultures, food and romantic reward are closely intertwined.’
“在不同的文化中，食物與享受浪漫密不可分。”

‘Courtship rituals frequently involve meals or the presentation of food, and while it is certainly a socially-influenced practice, it is seen in the animal kingdom as well.'
“求婚儀式往往涉及餐點或食物供應，而這點當然是受到了社會影響，在動物王國裏這一聯繫亦存在。”
