Pictures of food.
食物的照片。
Snapping photos of meals is one of the less expected viral social media trends.
為一大桌子美食拍照是已經成了無法預料的病毒性社交媒體趨勢。
That megaburger, the cheesy burrito, the strawberry shortcake, captured forever as an object of desire.
比如這塊巨大的漢堡，芝士玉米煎餅,草莓酥餅,捕捉到的瞬間永恒勾起人們對于食物的欲望。
But food photography can backfire.
但是美食攝影可能恰恰適得其反。
Because a recent study finds that looking at a lot of photos of food can make foods similar to those pictured less enjoyable to eat.
因為最近的一項研究發現,看很多的食物照片的可能會使類似的食物少了幾分享用的樂趣。
Due to what scientists call “sensory boredom.”
科學家們稱其為“感覺性無聊”。
Researchers had more than 230 people look at and rate photos of food.
研究人員讓超過230人看食物照片并進行評價。
Half of the group viewed and rated 60 pics of sweets like cake and chocolates.
一半的人會觀看60張像蛋糕和巧克力糖果等甜食的照片。
The other half saw and rated 60 photos of savory foods like chips and pretzels.
另外一半的人則觀看60張如薯條和椒鹽脆餅等風味食物的照片。
Then everyone in the study ate salted peanuts and rated them.
然后被測試者們進食咸花生之后進行評價。
And the subjects who had seen photos of salty foods enjoyed the salted peanuts less than did the participants who had seen pictures of sweets.
而那些見過咸食物照片的人在品嘗咸花生時比觀察糖果的人少了幾分樂趣。
The study is the Journal of Consumer Psychology.
該研究已經《消費者心理學》雜志上發表。
The salty group never actually saw any peanut photos.
咸味組從未看到任何關于花生的照片。
But, the researchers say, viewing the salty food photos had satiated their sensory experience of saltiness—making yet more of the same less appealing.
但是,研究人員表示觀看咸味食品的照片滿足他們對于鹽度更多的感官體驗，這就使得相同的吸引力下降。
