Recording 2

錄音2

When it comes to food, color is money. Food companies know that better color gives better prices, so they ensure that their products are attractive in color to bolster earnings. Oranges, for example, have to meet specific color standards, and oranges are just the beginning. There are color standards for foods including French fries, tomatoes, pumpkins, olives, honey, and cherries.

說到食物，顏色就是金錢。食品公司深知更好的顏色意味著更高的價(jià)格。因此，他們確保自己的產(chǎn)品在顏色上吸引人，以增加收入。例如，橙子必須滿足特定的顏色標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，而橙子只是個(gè)開始。包括炸薯?xiàng)l、西紅柿、南瓜、橄欖、蜂蜜和櫻桃在內(nèi)的食物都有顏色標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

The attention to color is for good reason. For all the talk of the tongue, our eyes really might be the most important part of the eating experience. A great number of our brain functions are dedicated to processing vision, while only 1% or two is given over to taste faculties. And the result is that color actually changes how we taste food.

對(duì)顏色的關(guān)注是有充分理由的。盡管味覺很重要，但在飲食體驗(yàn)中，我們的眼睛可能才是最重要的部分。我們的大腦功能中，有很大一部分專門用于處理視覺，而只有1%或2%用于處理味覺。結(jié)果是，顏色實(shí)際上會(huì)改變我們對(duì)食物的味覺體驗(yàn)。

Scientists have demonstrated many times the importance of color to taste. In a 1980 study, for example, test participants were asked to name the flavor of the beverage they were drinking without being able to see that beverage. Only one in five was able to identify it as orange. But when they were allowed to see what they were drinking, which was orange in color, each of them identified the orange flavor. And when a drink that was lime flavor was colored orange, nearly half of respondents identified the flavor of the beverage as orange. None made that mistake when the beverage was green in color.

科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)多次證明了顏色對(duì)味覺的重要性。例如，在1980年的一項(xiàng)研究中，要求測(cè)試參與者在不看飲料的情況下說出他們正在喝的飲料的味道。只有五分之一的人能夠識(shí)別出它是橙味的。但是，當(dāng)他們被允許看到他們正在喝的飲料（橙色的）時(shí)，他們每個(gè)人都識(shí)別出了橙味。而當(dāng)一種本身是青檸味的飲料被染成橙色時(shí)，近一半的受訪者將飲料的味道識(shí)別為橙色。當(dāng)飲料是綠色時(shí)，沒有人犯這樣的錯(cuò)誤。

What's happening when someone fails to identify the flavor of a beverage they can't see or that has an abnormal color? Is it that participants can't discern what the flavor is and so rely on visual cues, or does color actually change the experience of taste? The key to these questions is the effect of color on expectation. The brain makes predictions using color. These predictions rely on expectations that come from experience.

當(dāng)有人無法識(shí)別出他們看不到的飲料的味道，或者飲料顏色異常時(shí)，會(huì)發(fā)生什么？是因?yàn)閰⑴c者無法分辨出味道，所以依賴視覺線索嗎？還是顏色實(shí)際上改變了味覺體驗(yàn)？這些問題的關(guān)鍵是顏色對(duì)預(yù)期的影響。大腦利用顏色進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)。這些預(yù)測(cè)依賴于來自經(jīng)驗(yàn)的期望。

Research shows that we're all born liking sweet things and desire to eat them, but we aren't born knowing what the sweet things we crave look like. So we need to learn this over time. The brain gets information from the environment and we learn, for example, that fruits go from green and sour to red and ripe and sweet. Thus, if we see a green berry, we equate its color with a sour taste, and just looking at a red fruit will activate our expectations that it will taste sweet and delicious.

研究表明，我們天生就喜歡甜的東西，也渴望吃它們，但我們天生并不知道我們渴望的甜食看起來是什么樣子。所以我們需要隨著時(shí)間的推移來學(xué)習(xí)這一點(diǎn)。大腦從環(huán)境中獲取信息，我們通過學(xué)習(xí)了解到，例如，水果從綠色和酸味變成紅色和成熟以及甜味。因此，如果我們看到一個(gè)綠色的漿果，我們會(huì)把它的顏色與酸味等同起來，而只是看著一個(gè)紅色的水果就會(huì)激活我們對(duì)它味道甜美可口的期望。
