Welcome to 6 Minute English, the programme where we explore an interesting topic and bring you six items of useful vocabulary. I’m Neil.
欢迎收听六分钟英语，在该节目中我们会探讨一个有趣的话题，奉上六个有用的单词。我是尼尔。
And I’m Dan.
我是丹。
Now, Dan, have you ever wanted to become invisible?
丹，你想过要变成隐形的吗？
Invisible – impossible to see. Of course! Who hasn’t?
隐形的，是指看不见的。当然了，谁没想过呢？
Well how about this: most of us think we are in fact invisible, at least some of the time…We’ll be looking at the invisibility cloak illusion in this programme.
有没有这么想过：大多数人认为事实上我们都是隐形的，至少在某些时候……今天的节目我们来看看隐形衣的错觉。
Fascinating. And in that phrase we heard our first three words.Invisibility – the state of being invisible.A cloak is a long piece of material worn like a coat around the shoulders.
不错。在这个短语中，我们听到了第一个三字词语。invisibility（隐形），是指看不见的状态。cloak（斗篷）是指长版的可以裹住肩膀的衣服材料。
And the third word in that phrase – an illusion – is something that seems real but isn’t.
该词组的第三个单词，illusion，是指某物看起来是真实的但实际上并非如此。
OK, question time. Which of these stories features an invisibility cloak? Is it…a) The Hobbitb) Harry PotterOr c) The Invisible Man
问题时间到了。下列哪个故事中有隐形衣？a) 《霍比特人》b) 《哈利·波特》还是c) 《隐形人》？
I know they are all connected to invisibility, but I’m gonna say…a) The Hobbit.
我知道他们都和隐形相关，但我想选a) 霍比特人。
Ok – we’ll reveal the answer later on. Now, let’s hear more about this invisibility cloak illusion. What’s the theory, Neil?
之后我们再揭晓答案。现在我们再听听关于隐形衣错觉的事情。这是什么理论呢，尼尔？
Right – imagine you’re sitting in a crowded train.People are busy looking at phones and books, but they’re also looking at each other.
想象你坐在拥挤的火车上。人们忙着看手机和书，但他们同时也在观察对方。
They’re people-watching, as we call it.Yes. Yes, I do that. I do it a lot, if I’m honest!
我们将这种行为称作“观察人”。没错，我也是。老实说，我做过很多类似的事。
So – where does the invisibility part come in?
那么，隐形的部分怎么来的呢？
A team of scientists from Yale University did some experiments on this.Commenting on the research here is neuroscientist Dr Catherine Loveday from Westminster University. What did the Yale team find?
耶鲁大学的一组科学家对此做过一些实验。威斯敏斯特大学的神经系统科学家凯瑟琳·洛芙迪就此研究进行评论。耶鲁的团队得出了什么结论呢？
So this study, they asked people that, first they did a survey and they asked people sat in a canteen how much they were watching somebody,and how much they thought those people were observing them. And there was always a mismatch.People always thought they were more observational than the people who were watching them.
这项研究中，研究人员要求人们，首先做了一个调查，询问坐在小卖部中的人们，他们观察别人时看出了多少，以及他们认为别人观察自己时看出了多少。这二者总是不匹配的。人们总是认为相比观察自己的人，自己的观察能力更强。
