Two things men stereotypically love are curves and beer. What is less stereotypical is that curves could influence men (and women) to drink their beer more quickly. Curves in glasses, that is. A new study shows people drink beer from curvy glasses almost twice as fast as they would from straight ones.
男人们毫无新意地爱着两样东西：曲线和啤酒。而稍微有些新意的是，曲线可能会使男人（和女人）喝啤酒喝得更快，带着曲线的玻璃杯就是这样。一个新的研究表明，人们用有曲线的玻璃杯喝啤酒比用直的杯子几乎快两倍。
Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK conducted a study with 160 people between the ages of 18 and 40. In what is clearly the best study ever to be a participant, the people drank both beer and soft drinks from straight glasses and curvy glasses.
英国布里斯托大学的调查者对160人进行了一项研究，参与者年龄从18岁至40岁不等。对参与者来说这无疑是最赞的调查，人们从直的和弯曲的玻璃杯中喝下啤酒和软饮料。
Those who drank beer from curvy glasses drank it nearly twice as fast as those who drank it from straight glasses. Weirdly enough, though, there was no difference in the soft drink consumption rates.
从弯曲玻璃杯中喝啤酒的人比用直玻璃杯喝的人快近两倍。不过奇怪的是，喝软饮料的速度没有差别。
The curvy glass imbibers finished their brews at an average of 7 minutes, as opposed to the 11 minutes for those with straight glasses. Sidenote: Doesn't 11 minutes a beer seem a little quick anyway? That would lead to incredibly expensive nights.
用弯曲玻璃杯的人以平均7分钟的速度喝完他们的啤酒，与此对照的是用直玻璃杯的人用时为11分钟。旁注：11分钟一杯酒有点快吧？今晚的消费要看来要非常不菲。
The speculated reason is that people didn't know how much of their drink they had finished when drinking from a curvy glass. While everyone might have been attempting to pace their drinking, those with straight glasses knew exactly how much they'd consumed. It was guesswork for those with curvy glasses, and I think I speak for everyone when I say guesswork after a few beers can be less-than-accurate.
据估计原因是人们用弯曲玻璃杯喝酒时不能确切地知道他们喝了多少。尽管每个人都可能在尝试衡量自己的速度，但那些用直玻璃杯的才确切地知道他们喝了多少。这对用弯曲玻璃杯喝酒的人来说是一件全靠靠‘猜’的活儿，我认为说猜测代表了所有人心声，毕竟几杯啤酒下肚后就不那么准确了。
