美容觉真的存在!
Beauty sleep is a real thing, according to researchers who have shown that
people who miss out on sleep do appear less attractive to others.
美容觉原来是真的：研究者经研究证明，错失优质睡眠的人对其他人来说，魅力显得不足。
A couple of bad nights is enough to make a person look "significantly" more
ugly, their sleep experiments suggest.
他们有关睡眠的实验显示，几个睡不好的晚上就足以让一个人的容貌“显著”变差。
Dark-circled "panda" eyes and puffy lids can even put others off
socialising with you, they say.
他们说熊猫眼和肿眼皮甚至会使他人与你的交际受到影响。
People were rated by strangers as less healthy and approachable when they
had tired faces.
在陌生人眼中，疲惫的面容会被当成不健康甚至是不变靠近的象征。
the experiment
实验
The researchers asked 25 university students, some male and some female, to
be the guinea pigs in their sleep experiment.
研究人员请来25名男女大学生来当他们的睡眠实验的实验对象。
They were asked to get a good night’s sleep for two consecutive nights. A
week later, they were asked to restrict themselves to only four hours sleep per
night for two nights in a row.
这些大学生被要求连续两个星期的保持优质睡眠。一个星期后再变成每晚只睡四小时。
The researchers took make-up free photos of the volunteers after both the
good and the bad sleep sessions.
在两个环节结束后，研究人员给志愿者们照了照片，但不修图。
Next, they asked 122 strangers - women and men living in Sweden’s capital
city, Stockholm - to have a look at the photos and rate them on attractiveness,
health, sleepiness and trustworthiness, as well as asking them: "How much would
you like to socialise with this person in the picture?"
接着，他们询问了122名来自瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩的路人，让他们看图并对图中人物的魅力、健康、瞌睡程度以及可信程度打分，并问他们：“你们会想和图中的人进行何种程度的交际?”
The strangers also said they would be less willing to socialise with the
tired students, who they also perceived to be less healthy, Royal Society Open
Science journal reports.
开放科学皇家学会记者报道：路人还说他们不太乐意和那些疲乏的学生交际，他们觉得这些学生不健康。
The Karolinska Institute researchers says this makes sense in evolutionary
terms. “people don’t want to hang around with people who might be ill, whereas
someone who looks energetic and fit will hold lots of appeal. ”
Karolinska机构的研究人员说这些事实在进化论理论中是说得通的。“人们不会想和那些可能正在生病的人出去玩，尤其是当有人散发着活力，体形也很棒，有着巨大吸引力的时候。”
Lead researcher Dr Tina Sundelin added: "I don’t want to worry people or
make them lose sleep over these findings though. Most people can cope just fine
if they miss out on a bit of sleep now and again."
首席研究员Tina
Sundelin博士补充说：“我不希望人们为此感到担忧或是因为这些研究成果而更加睡不着了。如果只是偶尔缺失了一小部分睡眠，大多数人还是能够应付得了的。”
Dr Gayle Brewer, a psychology expert at the University of Liverpool and
member of the British Psychological Society, said: "Judgement of attractiveness
is often unconscious, but we all do it, and we are able to pick up on even small
cues like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.
Gayle
Brewer博士是一个利物浦大学的心理学专家，又是英国心理学会的成员。这个博士说“对于魅力的判断往往是下意识的，但是我们都会去做。我们会注意到一个人是否看起来疲惫或是否不健康的很小的细节。”
"This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."
“对我们来说，这个研究是一个提醒我们睡眠的重要性的通知书。”
