Babies Have More Complex Emotions 英語(yǔ)美文

　　美國一項最新研究結果則顯示，嬰兒并不像人們以前所認為的那樣“單純”，相反他們擁有復雜得多的情緒和智力。

　　U.S. research shows infants are much more emotionally and intellectually complex than was previously believed.

　　1個(gè)多世紀以來(lái)，人們一直相信，嬰兒的思維是非常簡(jiǎn)單的，他們只會(huì )模仿周?chē)��?人，而且僅僅掌握著(zhù)一些最基本的情緒——高興、難過(guò)和生氣。然而，美國一項最新研究結果則顯示，嬰兒并不像人們以前所認為的那樣“單純”，相反他們擁有復雜得多的情緒和智力。

　　據合眾社8月7日報道，研究顯示，其實(shí)早在嬰兒說(shuō)出第一個(gè)詞語(yǔ)或是試圖坐起來(lái)之前，他們就已經(jīng)掌握了復雜的情感，比如嫉妒、關(guān)懷心和受挫感等。而這些曾被人們認為是直到他們開(kāi)始蹣跚學(xué)步時(shí)才能學(xué)會(huì )的。

　　美國華盛頓大學(xué)的心理學(xué)教授安德魯·梅爾索夫發(fā)現，大約1歲左右的嬰兒即開(kāi)始通過(guò)凝視別人來(lái)推斷他們都在想些什么。他說(shuō)，這一發(fā)現可以幫助人們解釋?zhuān)瑸楹窝劬�看不�?jiàn)的小孩子通常要比正常孩子晚一些才會(huì )說(shuō)話(huà)，這些孩子的母親與她們的嬰兒之間往往缺少相互作用。

　　U.S. research shows infants are much more emotionally and intellectually complex than was previously believed.

　　For more than a century, it was believed infants were simpleminded creatures who mimicked those around them and grasped only the most basic emotions -- happy, sad and angry.

　　Newsweek reports in its Aug. 15 cover story, "Your Baby"s Brain," science is giving a more accurate picture of what goes on inside babies" hearts and heads.

　　Long before babies form their first word or attempt to sit up, they are already mastering complex emotions -- jealousy, empathy, frustration -- that were once thought to be learned much later when they are toddlers.

　　Andrew Meltzoff, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington, found infants at about age 1 begin to infer what others are thinking by following the gazes of others. He says this helps explain why language occurs more slowly in blind children, whose mothers tend not to interact as much with their babies.
