问题 问答题

(二)时间怎样地行走迟子建 墙上的挂钟,曾是我童年最爱看的一道风景。我对它有一种说不出的崇拜,因为它掌管着时间,我们的作息似乎都受着它的支配。到了指定的时间,我们得起床上学,得做课间操,得被父母吆喝着去睡觉。虽然说有的时候我们还没睡够不想起床,在户外的月光下还没有戏耍够不想回屋睡觉,但都必须因为时间的关系而听从父母的吩咐。他们理直气壮呵斥我们的话与挂钟息息相关:“都几点了,还不起床!”要么就是:“都几点了,还在外面疯玩,快睡觉去!”这时候,我觉得挂钟就是一个拿着烟袋锅,磕我们脑门的狠心的老头,又凶又倔,真想把它掀翻在地,让它永远不能再行走。我的想象中,它就是一个看不见形影的家长,严厉而又古板。但有时候它也是温情的,在除夕夜里,它的每一声脚步都给我们带来快乐,我们可以在零点钟声敲响后得到梦寐以求的压岁钱,想着用这钱可以买糖粟来甜甜自己的嘴,真想在雪地上畅快地打几个滚。 我那时天真地以为时间是被一双神秘的大手放在挂钟里的。它每时每刻地行走着,走得不慌不忙,气定神闲,不会因为贪恋窗外鸟语花香的美景而放慢脚步,也不会因为北风肆虐、大雪纷飞而加快脚步。它的脚,是世界上最能禁得起诱惑的脚,从来都循着固定的轨迹行走。我喜欢听它前行的声音,总是一个节奏,好像一首温馨的摇篮曲。时间在挂钟里,与我们一同经历着风霜雨雪、潮涨潮落。 我上初中以后,手表就比较普及了。我看见时间躲在一个小小的圆盘里,在手腕上跳舞。 它跳得静悄悄的,不像墙上的挂钟那么清脆,“滴答——滴答——”的声音不绝于耳。手表里的时间给我一种鬼鬼祟祟的感觉,少了几分气势和威严,所以明明到了上课时间,我还会磨蹭一两分钟再进教室,手表里的时间也就因此显得有些落寞。 后来,生活变得丰富多彩了,时间栖身的地方就多了。项链坠可以隐藏着时间,台历上镶嵌着时间,玩具里放置着时间,至于电脑和手提电话,只要我们一打开它们,率先映入眼帘的就有时间。时间像繁星一样到处闪烁着,它越来越多,也就越来越显得匆匆了。 十几年前的一天,我在北京第一次发现了时间的痕迹。我在梳头时发现一根白发,它在清晨的曙光中像一道明丽的雪线一样刺痛了我的眼睛。我知道时间其实一直悄悄地躲在我的头发里行走,只不过它这一次露出了痕迹而已。我还看见,时间在母亲的口腔里行走,她的牙齿脱落得越来越多。我明白时间让花朵绽放的时候,也会让人的眼角绽放出花朵一一鱼尾纹。时间让一棵青春的小树越来越枝繁叶茂,让车轮的辐条越来越沾染上锈迹,让一座老屋逐渐驼了背。时间好似变戏法的魔术师,它能让一个活生生的人瞬间消失在他们辛勤劳作过的土地上,我的祖父、外祖父和父亲,就让时间给无声地接走了,再也看不到他们的脚印,不能在清冷的梦中见到他们依稀的身影。他们不在了,可时间还在,它总是持之以恒、激情澎湃地行走着——在我们看不到的角落里,在我们不经意走过的地方,在日月星辰中,在梦中。 我终于明白挂钟上的时间和手表里的时间只是时间的一个表象而已,它存在于更丰富的 E1常生活中。只要我们在行走,时间就会行走。我们和时间如同一对伴侣,相依相偎着,不朽.的它会在我们不知不觉间,引领着我们一直走到地老天荒。

Problem: On the scale of problems, “pictures of food on the Internet” is firmly first-world. And that is almost certainly a too-generous definition of “problem.” When it comes to photographing and putting your dinner on line, I say live and let live, you know? Maybe your salad was particularly inviting and pleasing that night, and I, too, have spent many an hour clicking “random” on Smitten Kitchen and salivating(流口水).

But I assume if you’re making the effort to arrange your food artfully and preserve its memory in a digital archive, you must... like food. And want it to taste good. A recent study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that spending time focusing on images of food makes the food itself less satisfying.

Methodology: The researchers assumed that imagining enjoying something might lead to satiation -- the feeling that makes the second piece of cake taste not-quite-as-good as the first. To test this, they had some people participate in two experiments that they were told were separate -- one in which they rated how appetizing different photos of food looked, and one in which they ate some peanuts and rated how much they enjoyed them.

A separate group of people did the same experiment again, but in the photo-rating portion, some were asked to rate how appetizing the food was or to choose a preference between two foods, and some were asked to rate the brightness of the photo itself.

Results: The more photos of food people looked at, the less they enjoyed the peanuts -- if they were looking at photos of salty food. People who looked carefully at images of sweets enjoyed the peanuts more, suggesting that imagination causes satiation only if you’re imagining a similar food. In the second experiment, participants who focused on the brightness of the photos were able to enjoy the peanuts more than those who were thinking about the deliciousness of foods while they looked at the images.

Implications: You’ll probably enjoy your food more if you don’t take a picture of it, or scroll through images of cookies at work and then eat one when you get home. This also has potential implications for advertisers, who may unknowingly be giving away satiation for free when they show images of chicken wings or whatever in front of us all day long. But luckily the study provides a hint: Try not to think about the food’s taste while you take a photo -- just focus on your composition.
