If you feel like your bank holiday weekend whizzed by, there is a simple trick to try which might make the next one seem a little longer.
如果你觉得你的银行假日嗖的一下就过完了,那么这里有一个小技巧,可能会让你下一个假期看起来能长一点儿。
Experiencing new things makes us think that time has lasted longer than it really did, according to a brain specialist.
据一名大脑专家表示,经历新事物的时候我们会觉得时间要比真实情况更长一些。
Neuroscientist David Eagleman, a professor at Stanford University, said that novel experiences like a new place or new activity make it seem like time is stretching out.
斯坦福大学教授、神经学家大卫·依格曼表示,新地方和新活动等新的经历似乎可以把时间拉长。

专家表示 新事物会让你感觉时间变长

Getting away for the weekend seems longer than spending time at home and exploring a new neighbourhood feels like it takes more time than staying indoors, he said.
据他表示,和宅在家相比,周末出去玩的话时间似乎更长一些,而探索一个新小区似乎要比待在室内耗费更多时间。
Even a weekend holed up inside with a good book - so long as it is a new one - will seem like you have been mentally away for longer than you have.
即使周末你只是沉浸在一本好书里(只要这本书是新的),从心理上讲你的时间似乎就比以前更长一些。
Professor Eagleman said that the phenomenon exists because the the brain is more focused on collecting unfamiliar information into a memory.
依格曼教授表示,这种现象的确存在,因为大脑更专注于收集陌生的信息到记忆中。
Speaking to science blog Science of Us, he said: 'When you go and experience something novel, it seems to have lasted longer.
他在科学博客《我们的科学》上表示:“当你体验一些新事物的时候,时间似乎变长了。”
He said: 'It's why time seems to fly by so much faster as an adult then it did when you were young. When you're a kid, everything is novel and you're laying down new memories about it.'
他说道:“这就是为什么和年轻时候相比,成年人的时间过得飞快。当你还是个孩子的时候,一切事物对你而言都是新的,随时随地你都在录入新的记忆。”
