Do you often take pictures during your trips?
你在旅行时经常拍照吗？

Years ago, Linda Henkel, an American scientist, was travelling at the Great Canyon.
几年前，美国科学家琳达·亨克尔（Linda Henkel）正在大峡谷旅行。

“When I was at the canyon’s edge, someone came to the front, took a picture and walked away,” she recalls as she shares her travelling experience.
她回忆起自己的旅行经历时说：“当我站在峡谷边缘时，有人走到前面拍了张照片然后就走了。”

“He didn’t even look at the beautiful views there! It’s just like, ‘Got it -- Done!’”
“他甚至没有看看那里的美景！就像是‘拍好了——完成！’”

Henkel is surprised by how much people depend on pictures for their memory.
亨克尔对人们在记忆中依赖照片的程度感到惊讶。

These days people take pictures before dinner, during friend’s birthday parties, and so on.
如今，人们在吃饭前、朋友生日聚会时，等等，都会拍照。

They believe taking pictures will help them remember the moment.
他们认为拍照能帮助他们记住那个瞬间。

However, according to Henkel’s research, the opposite is true.
然而，根据亨克尔的研究，事实恰恰相反。

In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum.
在她的研究中，亨克尔带领一群大学生参观博物馆。

She asked them to look at 15 exhibits carefully and then to photograph 15 others.
她让他们仔细观察15件展品，然后再拍摄另外15件展品。

The next day, she tested the students’ memory of the tour.
第二天，她测试了学生们对参观内容的记忆。

She found that the students remembered fewer details about the exhibits they had photographed.
她发现学生们对他们拍过照的展品记得的细节更少。

Henkel explains that when people rely on their cameras, they rarely pay attention to the exhibits themselves.
亨克尔解释说，当人们依赖相机时，他们很少关注展品本身。

As a result, they often fail to remember their experiences well.
因此，他们常常不能很好地记住他们的经历。

So taking pictures may prevent our brain from remembering things and places.
所以，拍照可能会阻碍大脑记住事物和地点。

But should looking over the pictures wake up our memories?
那么，回看照片会唤醒我们的记忆吗？

Henkel says this is true.
亨克尔说这是对的。

However, it happens only when we spend enough time doing it.
然而，只有当我们花足够的时间去做时，它才会发生。

“In order to remember, we have to review the photo carefully,” Henkel says.
亨克尔说：“为了记住，我们必须仔细回顾照片。”

Unfortunately, most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures.
不幸的是，大多数人从未花时间回顾他们的数码照片。

Why? There are just too many of them!
为什么呢？因为照片实在是太多了！
