快乐的人说话更吸引别人

        Happy people tend to talk more than unhappy people, but when they do, it tends to be less small talk and more substance.

　　 快乐的人比不快乐的人更易于说更多话，而且当他们开口时，更多的是有实质内容的交谈，而不是闲聊。

　　 A group of psychologists from the University of Arizona and Washington University in St. Louis set out to find whether happy and unhappy people differ in the types of conversations they tend to have. For their study, volunteers wore an unobtrusive recording device called the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) over four days. The device periodically records snippets of sounds as participants go about their lives.

　　 来自亚利桑那大学和华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校的一队心理学家开始着手研究快乐的人和不快乐的人各自可能发生的谈话种类是否会有所不同。研究中，志愿者在四天里都要戴上一件叫做电子激活录音器（EAR）的不易被发现的录音设备，它可以在被测者日常活动时定期录下声音片段。
