    ♬ (1)

    Dieters—who in theory should be the most likely to know the calorie counts of foods—were the most susceptible to (易受...影响)the halo effect, taking 100 calories off their estimates when a salad was added.

    从理论上说,节食者应该更清楚食物的卡路里含量,然而他们也是最容易受到光环效应影响的,当看到配菜是沙拉的时候,他们会低估100卡路里。

    ♬ (2)

    Halo effects pop up(出现) all over the place, whenever something indulgent is paired with (be paired with  与...配对)something more virtuous. 

    无论什么时候,只要使你放纵的东西和让你觉得品德高尚的东西同时出现。

    ♬ (3)

    Do you give yourself permission to indulge in something by focusing on its most virtuous quality? Do you have any magic words that give you permission to indulge, like “Buy 1 Get 1 Free,” “All Natural,” “Light,” “Fair Trade,” “Organic,” or “For a Good Cause”? This week, see if you can catch yourself in the act of handing out a halo to something that undermines(暗中破坏) your goals.

    你会不会因为关注一个食物最有益的品质,而允许自己沉溺于它?有没有什么“神奇词语”会给你放纵的许可?比如说“买一赠一”,“纯天然”,“清淡”,“公平贸易”,“有机”,“为了慈善”,这一周,看看你是否被那些破坏长远目标的光环所影响。

    ♬ (4)

    Thinking in terms of “right” and “wrong” instead of remembering what we really want will trigger competing impulses and license self-sabotaging behavior.

    如果只是按照“正确”和“错误”来判断做过的事,而不是记住我们真正想要的东西,这会引发和目标相抵触的冲动,并允许我们做出一些妨碍自己的行为。

    ►►Summary

    The halo effect exists in our daily life.We often choose to judge others and things  by oneself with prejudice.We need to expand our perspective  in order to  get a comprehensive understanding of all things.

    When we turn willpower challenges into measures of moral worth, being good gives us permission to be bad. For better self-control, forget virtue, and focus on goals and values.

    Thanks for Everything!
