話說小盆友對糖果（candy）、甜食（dessert）這種東西最沒有抵抗力了。最近一群國外科學(xué)家就做了一個(gè)小實(shí)驗(yàn)（experiment）：把一個(gè)小孩和一顆棉花糖（marshmallow）一起留在空房間里，并規(guī)定：如果他們能忍著不吃就可以得到多一顆（這算是哪門子鬼實(shí)驗(yàn)……乃們大人真的好無聊……完全就是對幼小身心的殘酷折磨啊喂！），各位小盆友又有哪些有趣的反應(yīng)捏？

【The Marshmallow Test】（部分對話實(shí)錄）

Ok, sit in that chair. Alright, here's the deal. Marshmallow, for you. You can either wait, and I'll give you another one if you wait, or, you can eat it now.

When I come back, I'll give you another, so you'll have two.

Just stay in here and stay in the chair till I'm come back, ok?

I'm gonna go do something, and I'll come back.

Twins: It smells yummy! It smells really good!

……

How did you do? Did you do good? You did? You wouldn't eat it, would you? So I have told you I'll give you another. OK, now you can have both~!
