研究發現:受到“情緒搖擺”影響 下午6點男人最大方
A woman may not always gets what she wants... but she may stand more chance if she waits until 6 pm to ask for it. This is the time when a man is likely to grant a loved one's wishes, according to a poll.
一個女人並非總能得到自己想要的......但如果她在下午6點以後提要求，勝算則會大一些。據調查，此時男人對於心愛之人可謂有求必應。
Men should avoid rowing with their wives during the afternoon because a study of people's moods has shown they are likely to lose. That's because 3 pm is the best time for the fairer sex to win an argument, the poll of more than 1,000 men and women found.
同樣，男人們最好不要和妻子在下午爭吵，因爲一項情緒研究表明，此時男人很可能會落敗。而在調查了1000名男性和女性後，科學家得出結論：下午3點是女性贏得辯論的最佳時刻。
And when it comes to asking for a pay rise or promotion, a woman would do best not to pounce on the boss when he or she arrives for work in the morning, but to wait until 1 pm. This is the time that managers are likely to be most receptive to employees' demands, according to the poll carried out for pharmaceuticals giant.
若想要求加薪或者晉升，女員工最好不好一大早就去惹惱上司，而應該等到中午1點。因爲此時經理們可能最易接受僱員們提出的要求，一項爲大型製藥公司實施的調查表明。
Women, however, will be glad to know that they are not the only sex affected by 'mood swings', with the male mindset also changing over the course of the day. Some 86 percent of the 1,019 men and women polled said they were aware of regular peaks and troughs in their mood. The findings suggest that by being more in touch with biorhythms, or the body's natural rhythms, we could get what we want more often.
受到“情緒搖擺”影響的不僅僅是女性，這一點可能會讓女性朋友們高興。據悉，男性也會在一天之內情緒有所波動。在調查了1019名男性和女性後，86%的人稱他們瞭解自己情緒的起伏狀況。這些結果均表明，通過進一步瞭解生物節律，即身體的生物鐘，我們得到自己想要事物的可能性就更大。
Evie Bentley, a psychotherapist with a special interest in biorhythms, said: "Each biorhythm cycle is regulated by the brain, which controls what hormones and how much of each are produced in order to balance bodily functions. A great deal of how a person feels physically, intellectually, and emotionally, is caused by their biorhythms."
艾維-本特利是一位對生物節律有特殊興趣的精神治療法心理醫生，她說：“每一個生物節律週期都由大腦控制，大腦調節分泌哪些荷爾蒙及其分泌量，從而平衡身體功能。人們對自己的身體、思維以及情感的認知，很大程度上是由他們的生物節律決定的。
