  You will doubt yourself. 你都会怀疑自己。
  背后原因大揭秘
  其实它们是一模一样的照片
  当你听到另一个人斩钉截铁地说他听到的和你的不一样,你可能会以为自己产生了幻觉。
  It creates an illusion. 创造了幻觉。
  但很多人觉得凡事皆有原因,一定要探究一下背后的原因,我们就为大家整理了几个。
  The science behind it. 背后的科学解释
  #1.Sound frequencies: 音频频率
  最科学的解释是和音频频率有关:
  The spectrograms above show that the word “Laurel” is strongest in lower frequencies, while a simulated version of the word “Yanny” is stronger in higher frequencies. The audio clip shows a mixture of both.
  声谱图显示“Laurel”这个词的音频波段比较低,而声波图与之差不多的“Yanny”是在更高的音频波段上。而示例片段是个高低频的混合产物。
  "If you have a low quality of recording, it's not surprising some people would confuse the second and third resonances 2 flipped 3 around, and hear Yanny instead of Laurel."
  如果录音的质量比较差,那么有些人会把第二和第三波段搞混。就会听到Yanny而不是Laurel。
  #2.Primer: 心理暗示
  也有人认为这个是心理暗示的结果,毕竟一开始就给出了Yanny/Laurel这两个选项,只能二选一啊!
  We're primed. 我们被暗示了。
  #3.Age of the listener and their hearing:年龄和听力
  人的听力会随着年龄而退化,所以可能有些频段会听不清,听不见。
  As we age, we will slowly lose our hearing. 随着我们年龄增加,听力会逐渐丧失。

n.录音,记录
  • How long will the recording of the song take?录下这首歌得花多少时间?
  • I want to play you a recording of the rehearsal.我想给你放一下彩排的录像。
n.共鸣( resonance的名词复数 );(声音) 洪亮;(文章、乐曲等) 激发联想的力量;(情感)同感
  • This system can set up acoustical resonances. 这种系统能产生共鸣。 来自辞典例句
  • New supershortlived particles are called resonances. 新超短寿命粒子叫做共振态粒子。 来自辞典例句
轻弹( flip的过去式和过去分词 ); 按(开关); 快速翻转; 急挥
  • The plane flipped and crashed. 飞机猛地翻转,撞毁了。
  • The carter flipped at the horse with his whip. 赶大车的人扬鞭朝着马轻轻地抽打。
