囧研究:为什么越长大时间过得越快?

2016-03-29来源:LIFEHACKER

As you get older, it feels like time tends to move faster.
年纪越大,时间似乎就过得越快。

We perceive time something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the less likely you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.
我们把时间视为诸多记忆。所以经历得越少,你记忆中有趣的事儿就越少。

Time does go by more quickly the older we get. In the first few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is brand new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain firmly in our memories.
我们年纪越大,时间过得越快。生命最初的几年里,所做、所感知的任何事情都是全新的,许多经历都是独一无二的,因而记得牢。

囧研究:为什么越长大时间过得越快?

But as the years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we have already accomplished a lot and because we become slaves to our daily routines.
岁月流逝,新的体验越来越少,因为我们成就颇丰,也因为已成为日常生活的奴隶。

Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we've never done, recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been.
也许我们需要一个新的应用鼓励我们尝试获得新的体验,指出那些我们从未做过的事情,推荐我们从未品尝过的菜肴。

Such an app could make our lives more varied, prod us to try new things, slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.
这样一个应用可以丰富我们的生活,鼓励我们尝试新事物,放慢时间脚步,增加幸福感。
