打哈欠传染

至于那个更深的问题，为什么打哈欠是传染的，还没有答案呢。

As for the larger question of why yawns are catching , nobody really knows .

研究者称，这种打哈欠的传染，部分是由于共感作用，也就是说，我们试图去从对方的角度看待问题，并对对方的情绪做出回应。

A new study suggests this yawning contagion is , in part , the result of empathy , in which we attempt to see things from another person 's angle and respond to that person 's emotions .

打哈欠非常容易传染，即使你读到关于哈欠的文字，都可能会导致你打哈欠，针对这其中的原因向来就有不少争论。

The act of yawning is so contagious that even reading about it can cause a person to yawn , but there has been much debate over what exactly causes it .

众所周知，打哈欠是会传染的，一个房间里的人陆续打哈欠，也就是几秒的事儿。更有结果证明，这种传染在女性之间更为普遍。

It 's a well-known fact that yawning is contagious and can spread around a room in a matter of seconds , but it turns out the phenomenon is more common among women .

真正的问题在于，这其中究竟有没有什么生理学上的依据在起作用，而答案很可能是肯定的。科学家发现，就连黑猩猩之间，打哈欠也是会相互传染的。

The real question is whether there 's actually something physiological at work here , and the answer is likely yes : even chimpanzees mimic each other 's yawns .
