36個問題讓你跟陌生人相愛

These 36 questions can make you 'fall in love with anyone'

The path to true love just got a whole lot smoother.

通往真愛的路現在更平坦了一點.

The key? To ask someone the 36 questions below - and answer them yourself. Doing this, psychologists have claimed, can make absolutely anyone fall in head-over-heels.

關鍵方法？問某人以下36個問題——同時自己也回答這些問題.心理學家稱,這樣做,就絕對可以讓任何人愛得神魂顛倒.

If it sounds easy; it isn't.

如果說聽上去很容易,那么實際上可沒那么簡單.

The questions begin gently enough: 'Would you like to be famous?'; 'What's your perfect day?'; Or 'When did you last sing to yourself?'

這些問題一開始很溫和："你想成名嗎？""你心中完美的一天是怎樣的？"或"你上次自己一個人唱歌是什么時候？"

But they rapidly become more personal.

但是很快,問題就變得更私人.

'Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?' and 'How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?'

"關于自己將如何死去,你有神秘的預感嗎？""你和你母親的關系怎么樣？"

The idea is to foster the atmosphere of mutual vulnerability and intimacy that a romantic relationship thrives on. Albeit by revealing to each other your deepest, darkest thoughts - the sort it usually takes a few months to admit (if ever).

這些問題的主要意圖是營造一個相互脆弱和親密的氛圍,以促進戀愛關系的發展,盡管這需要向彼此吐露你們最深的、最黑暗的想法,這些想法你往往需要幾個月的時間才會承認（如果承認的話）.

The 36 questions were published in a study by psychologist Arthur Aron called 'The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness'.

這36個問題叫做"人際親密產生試驗",由心理學家亞瑟·艾倫發表在一份研究中.

He tested the theory that it's possible to make two people fall in love by getting them to share intimate thoughts and memories. To prove this, he persuaded 52 sets of male and female strangers and 19 sets of female strangers to try it. Two of the participants entered a lab via separate doors, before sitting opposite one another and answering his series of ever-more personal and probing questions.
