考研英语“长难句”对翻译的影响

①We tend to think /that friends and family members are our biggest sources of connection, laughter and warmth. ②While that may well be true, researchers have also recently found /that interacting with strangers actually brings a boost/ in mood and feelings of belong /that we didn’t expect.

③In one series of studies, researchers instructed Chicago-area commuters using public transportation to strike up a conversation /with someone near them. ④On average, participants who followed the instruction felt better/ than /those who had been told to stand or sit in silence. ⑤The researchers also argued/ that when we shy away from casual interactions with strangers, it is often due to a misplaced anxiety /that they might not want to talk to us. ⑥Much of the time, however, this belief is false. ⑦As it turns out, many people are actually perfectly willing to talk—and may even be flattered/ to receive your attention.

我们倾向于去认为朋友和家庭成员是我们与笑和温暖产生联系的最大来源。可能这是正确的，但最近的一个研究表明与陌生人的互动实际上会加强我们不在预期的情绪和感觉。

在一系列的研究中，研究者指导芝加哥区域通勤人员使用公共交通去和你附近的人展开交谈。一般来说，听从指导的参与者比起那些被要求沉默的站着或坐着的人感觉更好。研究人员还认为，当我们回避和陌生人的随意互动，通常是因为他们可能不想和我们交谈这种错误的焦虑。然而，很多时候，这种念头是错误的。事实证明，很多人实际上很乐意去交谈，并且甚至可能因为你的注意而受宠若惊。
