科學家稱人有電話心靈感應的英語美文

　　科學家稱：人有電話心靈感應

　　Telephone telepathy -- I was just thinking about you

　　NORWICH (Reuters) - Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them -- now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.

　　許多人都有過這樣的經歷——剛剛想起某人后就接到了那人的電話。現在，一名科學家表示，這就是他證實過的所謂的電話心靈感應。

　　Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.

　　劍橋大學著名的圣三一學院為魯珀特·謝德拉克的研究提供了資助。謝德拉克在周二(5日)表示，他已通過實驗證實，人們不但對撥打來的電話有預知，甚至對收到的電子郵件也有。

　　Each person in the trials was asked to give researchers names and phone numbers of four relatives or friends. These were then called at random and told to ring the subject who had to identify the caller before answering the phone.

　　研究人員要求參與實驗的人提供4位親朋的電話號碼。之后，實驗者會隨機接到電話，但必須在接電話前猜出來電者是誰，來電主題是什么。

　　"The hit rate was 45 percent, well above the 25 percent you would have expected," he told the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

　　在英國進步科學協會的年度大會上，謝德拉克表示：“實驗者猜測結果的命中率達到45%，遠遠高出我們預期的25%。”

　　He said he found the same result with people being asked to name one of four people sending them an e-mail before it had landed.

　　他指出，在收到來自4位親朋的電子郵件之前猜發件人的實驗中，研究者獲得了與上述電話試驗相同的結果。

　　However, his sample was small on both trials -- just 63 people for the controlled telephone experiment and 50 for the email -- and only four subjects were actually filmed in the phone study and five in the email, prompting some scepticism.

　　然而，兩次實驗涉及的對象范圍都很小——僅有63人參與了電話實驗，50人參與了電子郵件實驗——而電話研究實驗中只有4人、電子郵件實驗中只有5人被錄制下了實驗過程，這難免讓人對實驗結果的準確性產生了懷疑。

　　Undeterred, Sheldrake -- who believes in the interconnectedness of all minds within a social grouping -- said that he was extending his experiments to see if the phenomenon also worked for mobile phone text messages.

　　充滿信心的謝德拉克相信，同一社交圈中的人的思維活動是相互有關聯的。他表示，他將擴大實驗范圍，看看心靈感應現象是否在手機短信中起作用。
