"The love of money", St Paul memorably wrote to his protege Timothy, "is the root of all evil."【F1】
"All" may be putting it a bit strongly, but dozens of psychological studies have indeed shown that people primed to think about money before an experimentare more likely to lie, cheat and steal during the course of that experiment.
Francesca Gino and Cassie Mogilner asked a group of volunteers to do a series of what appeared to be aptitude tests.【F2】
In the first test they were asked to make, within three minutes, as many coherent sentences as they could out of a set of words they had been presented with.
What they were not told was that each of them had been assigned to one of three groups. Some volunteers’ word sets were seeded with ones associated with money, such as "dollars", "financing" and "spend". Some were seeded with words associated with time (eg, "clock", "hours", "moment"). And some were seeded with neither. Thus unknowingly primed, the volunteers were ready for the second test.
This was mathematical. 【F3】
They were given a sheet of paper with 20 matrices which each contained 12 numbers, two of which added up to ten (for example, 3.81 and 6.19).
They had to write down, on a separate answer sheet, how many of these pairs they could manage to find in five minutes. They were also given a packet of money and told they could reward themselves with a dollar for each pair they discovered.
Crucially, they were not asked to show their workings on the answer sheets—and the matrix sheets, on which those workings might have appeared, carried no identifier and were ostentatiously discarded once the test was done. Nevertheless, by hiding an identification code in a sample matrix on the answer sheet, Dr. Gino and Dr. Mogilner knew which matrix sheet each candidate had been given and thus who had cheated and who had not 【F4】
They found that 88% of those who had been primed with money-related words in the first test cheated, as did 67% of those given neutral words.
Of those primed with time-related words, though, only 42% cheated.
Nor, despite St Paul’s aphorism, was the lure of lucre during the experiment (as opposed to the effect of thinking about it as a result of being primed) necessary as a corrupting influence. 【F5】
A similar trial on different participants showed that presenting the matrix as a test of intelligence also caused those primed with the idea of money to cheat more than those primed with the idea of time— though, intriguingly, that did not apply if the matrix was presented as a test of personality.
【F3】
选项
答案
该测验给每人发了一张印有20个数阵的试卷,每个数阵含12个数字,两两相加为10(如3.81和6.19)。
解析
(1)翻译时,采用顺译法,把原有的句子拆分,先说“该测验给每人发了一张印有20个数阵的试卷”,之后对数阵进行解释说明。
(2)which each contained 12 numbers译为“每个数阵含12个数字”。
(3)two of which added up to ten中的which指代前面的numbers,这部分翻译为“两两相加为10”。
