Sitting next to the office window on a sunny day can help double an individual’s alertness compared to those stuck in the middle of a room under artificial lights, according to scientists. 科学家研究表明，在阳光明媚的晴天里，坐在办公室靠窗口位置的人比坐在靠灯光照明的中间位置的员工工作起来更有活力。 Oxford University neuroscientist Russell Foster said studies have linked light to the release of serotonin – known as the happy hormone – which may explain why the majority of people enjoy being out in the sunshine. 牛津大学的神经科学家拉塞尔-福斯特说，研究表明在阳光下会释放血清素，这是一种快乐激素，或许就解释了为什么大多数人喜欢在阳光下晒太阳。 Less than five per cent of daylight filters into the average building, and energy-efficient light bulbs are an ‘unmitigated disaster’ due to their lack of intensity. But on a bright day, those next to a window will benefit from the sunlight, while their unfortunate colleagues will be left feeling less energised. 阳光经过建筑物这个过滤器过滤后，进入到房间内的光线平均还不到百分之五，节能灯泡的光线强度简直就‘更可怜了’。但在阳光明媚的日子里，那些在靠窗位置办公的人可以从阳光中大大受益，而那些晒不到阳光的不够幸运的同事们就会感觉精力不够充沛。 |
