Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen.
根據(jù)威利迪.艾倫的觀點：不同的顏色會以不同的方式影響我們.
In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make.
在一個名為“顏色使我健康”的新節(jié)目中,威利迪討論了顏色如何影響我們工作的努力程度和我們?nèi)绾巫龀鲞x擇.
They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
顏色甚至能改變我們的情緒和影響我們的健康.
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity.
“Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(產(chǎn)品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design設(shè)計new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
威利迪說: “你們是否曾經(jīng)注意到人們針對同一種事物總是使用同一種顏色?”“我們的牙膏總是白色或藍色或可能是紅色.從來沒有綠色的牙膏.為什么沒有呢?出于某種原因,我們認(rèn)為藍色和白色是干凈的,而我們認(rèn)為綠色的產(chǎn)品有點令人不舒服.做生意同樣如此.我們尊重把公司名稱設(shè)計成藍色或白色的公司,但卻不喜歡用粉色或橘色的公司.產(chǎn)品設(shè)計人員可以運用這些理念來影響我們的購物所求.
During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights.
在該節(jié)目中,威利迪研究了八種不同的顏色,每兩種作為一組.她對在顏色產(chǎn)業(yè)工作的人進行訪談,從服裝包裝的設(shè)計者到唇膏顏色的決定者,（什么人都有）.有些她所交流的人顯然沒有什么科學(xué)知識來證明他們的觀點,比如有一位美國“顏色博士”相信通過不同顏色燈光的使用可以成功治愈嚴(yán)重疾病.
However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.
然而,她同樣也訪談了真正的科學(xué)家,他們研究了綠色和紅色光線對老鼠的影響,研究成果有的相當(dāng)令人吃驚.
總的來說,這個節(jié)目很有趣,觀看該節(jié)目的人很有可能找到了新的東西.但是,由于威利迪在節(jié)目中表現(xiàn)得對訪談的人過分禮貌,究竟她的觀點你能相信多少完全取決于你自己（讀者自己）.
