請描述一下潛意識知覺是什么，并解釋教授談到的實驗是如何闡明這一現象的。
Now, read the passage about subliminal perception.
請閱讀這篇關于潛意識知覺的文章。
You will have 50 seconds to read the passage. Begin reading now.
你將有50秒的時間來閱讀文章。現在計時開始。
Now, listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a psychology class.
請聽心理學課上關于這個話題的部分內容。
Consider this experiment.
想象一下這個實驗：
Two groups of people were asked to watch TV and while they are watching,
兩組人按照要求在看電視，在他們看著的時候，
a picture flashed on the screen less than a second, very quickly so it was barely noticeable.
電視屏幕上閃現了一張照片，這張照片出現的時間不超過一秒鐘，速度非常快，所以幾乎注意不到。
The picture was of a boy with a birthday cake.
這張照片的內容是一個男孩和一個生日蛋糕。
Now, like I said, there were two groups and each group saw a slightly different version of the picture.
那么，就像我說的，一共有兩組人，每組看到的照片版本稍微有些不同。
One group got the boy looking angry, in fact, he was actually throwing the cake on the floor.
在第一組看見的照片里，小男孩看上去很生氣，事實上，他正把蛋糕扔到地上。
The other group got a picture of the boy smiling, happy, holding up the cake like he was offering it.
而另一組看見的則是一個笑著的小男孩，他開心地托著蛋糕，就像他在請你一起分享一樣。
Same boy, same cake but different emotions expressed in each picture.
兩張照片中的男孩和蛋糕都一模一樣，不同的只是男孩表示出的情緒。
Everyone was then asked to look at a different image. Now, this is a third image, right?
接著所有人都被要求看著一張不一樣的照片，目前為止，這是第三張照片了，對嗎？
Again, it's the boy and the cake, but this time the image stayed on the screen.
照片上再次出現了那個男孩和蛋糕，只不過這一次照片留在了屏幕上，并沒有一閃而過。
In this picture, the boy's just holding the cake basically no emotion on his face, everything very neutral.
在這張照片里，小男孩只是簡單地托著蛋糕，臉上基本上顯示不出任何情緒，一切都很中性。
Now, remember, nobody knew they'd already seen a picture of this boy.
現在，請記住，他們中并沒有人知道他們已經看見過這個男孩的照片了。
After a minute, everyone was asked to describe the boy's personality.
一分鐘之后，每個人都被要求描述這個男孩的性格。
Those who'd been exposed to the image of the angry boy,
那些看過小男孩生氣的照片的人，
they generally described the boy's personality negatively.
一般都把小男孩的性格描述得很負面。
Those who'd earlier seen the happy boy described him, well, positively.
而那些之前看見的是小男孩快樂的照片的人，則把他描述得很積極正面。
