Lily:Ann, do you think the baby can discriminate between good and bad?

安，你认为婴儿会辨别好坏吗?

Ann:I don’t think it can,, it is just a baby, it knows nothing.

我想不会，它只是个婴儿，什么都不懂。

Lily:But I can’t agree with you fully. I think it has the ability to discriminate between good and bad.

但是我不完全同意你说的，我认为它有辨别好坏的能力。

Ann:Do you have any strong proof?

你有什么强有力的证据吗?

Lily:Yeah, it is from a research of the Yale University.

有，根据耶鲁大学的一项研究。

Ann:What did the research say?

研究怎么说?

Lily:When J.kiley Hamlin and her colleagues created three roles: one scaler, one assistor,who helped the scaler climb the mountain, the other obstructor,who pushed the scaler down the mountain, to the ten-month-old babies and the six-month-old babies, do you know which one the babies chose?

当基利?哈姆林和她的同事们创造了一个“攀登者”，一个协助“攀登者”上山的“帮助者”和一个把“攀登者”推下山的“阻碍者”这3个角色给10个月大和6个月大的婴儿们时，你知道婴儿们选的是谁吗?

Ann:I don’t know.

我不知道。

Lily:Let me tell you, 14 people among 16 ten-month-old babies and 12 six-month-old babies chose the assistor.

我来告诉你吧，在16名10个月大的宝宝中有14个，及12个6个月大的宝宝都喜欢“帮助者”。

Ann:Maybe the baby really has the inborn ability to discriminate between good and bad.

或许婴儿真的天生有辨别好坏的能力。
