旁白：在心理学课上听一节课的内容。

Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in a Psychology class.

我们通常认为婴儿只会感受到非常基本的情绪，比如快乐或愤怒，

we generally assume that babies can feel only very basic emotions like happiness or anger,

也就是说，婴儿仅仅会对直接发生在他们身上的事情做出反应。

that is that babies just react to things that happen directly to them.

一些新的研究表明，婴儿可能会感到关心他人，对他人有同情心。

some new research is suggesting that babies may be able to feel concern for others, to have empathy for others.

它涉及到这个婴儿会体会到别人的情感，

It involves a baby relating to someone else's emotions,

而不仅仅是对直接发生在他们身上的事情做出反应。

not just reacting to things happening directly to them.

让我们来聊聊一个实验，这个实验表明婴儿可能有同情心。

Let's talk about an experiment that may show that babies could be capable of feeling empathy.

OK, for the first part of the experiment,

我们一直都知道婴儿在听到其他婴儿的哭声时就会哭，对吧？

we've always known that babies start to cry when they hear other babies crying, right?

一个房间里的婴儿开始哭泣，其余的人都加入进来。

One baby in a room starts crying and all the rest join in.

我们一直认为其他的婴儿哭是因为他们对哭泣的声音做出反应，这种噪音本身很令人烦躁。

We've always assumed that the other babies cried because they were reacting to the noise of the crying, that the noise itself was distressing.

研究人员播放了一段婴儿啼哭的声音，给另一个婴儿听。

researchers played a tape recording, a tape of babies crying, to another baby.

果然，当他听到其他婴儿的哭声时，他开始哭了。

And sure enough, the baby started crying when he heard the sound of other babies crying.

研究人员认为婴儿因为噪音而哭了。

and the researchers assumed that the baby cried because of the noise.

但是实验的下一部分是令人惊讶的。

But the next part of the experiment was surprising.

研究人员给婴儿播放了他自己哭泣的磁带。

The researchers played the baby a tape of his own crying.

这盘和之前的那盘磁带一样吵，

他对自己哭泣的声音并没有感到不安。

He wasn't upset by the sound of his own crying.

好吧，也许是他听到其他婴儿在哭的时候，不是噪音让他哭出来。

Well, maybe it wasn't the noise that had made him cry before when he heard other babies crying.

In fact, maybe noise had nothing to do with it.

也可能是婴儿对其他婴儿产生了共鸣，

It could be that the baby felt empathy for the other babies,

这就是为什么当他听到他们哭泣的时候，他感到沮丧。

and that was why he got upset when he heard them crying.

研究人员得出结论，婴儿确实有可能产生同理心，

Researchers concluded that it is indeed possible that babies feel empathy,
