Internet Divided Over “Yanny” and “Laurel”
網絡因“Yanny”和“Laurel”被分化
People all over the Internet are engaged in a raging debate over a recording from Vocabulary.com that sounds very different to different people. Some people clearly hear the recorded word “laurel,” while others hear the word “yanny.” For those who clearly hear one or the other, it is difficult to comprehend that others could hear something completely different. Some scientists suggest that those in the “yanny” camp hear higher frequencies than those in the “laurel” camp. This debate is reminiscent of a similar one that went viral a while back when people all over the world looked at the same picture of a dress and argued about whether it was blue and black or white and gold.
網上的人們對Vocabulary.com的錄音展開了激烈的辯論，不同的人聽起來截然不同。有些人清楚地聽到錄制的單詞是“laurel”，而其他人則聽到“yanny”這個詞。對那些清楚聽到其中一個音的人來說，很難理解其他人聽到的竟然是完全不一樣的東西。一些科學家認為，聽到“yanny”的人聽到的頻率高于聽到“laurel”的人。這場爭辯讓人們想到了一件類似的事，當時世界各地的人們看到了一件衣服的同一張照片，并爭論它是藍色和黑色還是白色和金色，這件事曾風靡一時。
