《Succeed》翻译作业（27)
There are other ways around this problem,too. A lake of self-control strength can sometimes be overcome with well-chosen incentives or rewards. Psychologists Mark Muraven and Elisavete Slessarevt told students particularly in a study at Case Western Reserve University to watch a five-minute video clip of Robin Williams performing a particularly funny piece of stand-up. Half of the students were told that they would be under observation and were instructed not to laugh or smile while watching the video. This took a lot of self-control(it was a very funny clip), and it sapped their willpower resources. To demonstrate this depletion, all of the students were then given a cup of orange Kool-Aid to drink--except instead of using sugar, the experimenters made it with vinegar. It was unpleasant, though drinkable if you forced yourself. If you've ever psyched yourself up to swallow cold medicine, you know that it's an act that requires significant self-control, but it's doable.
在这个问题上还可以有其他的方法。缺乏自控力有时候可以通过自我激励和奖励来克服。心理学家MM和ES告诉参与测试的学生说，在一项针对CWR大学的研究中，叫学生看一段五分钟的视频，其中罗宾威廉姆斯表演了一段特别搞笑的脱口秀节目。一半的学生被告知他们将接受观察，并被要求在观看视频时不要笑或笑。这需要很大的自我控制(这是一个非常有趣的片段)，并且削弱了他们的意志力。为了证明这一点，所有的学生都喝了一杯橙汁饮料——没有用糖，实验者用醋做实验。如果你强迫自己，那是不愉快的，尽管可以喝。如果你曾经想要吞下感冒药，你知道这是一种需要自我控制的行为，但它是可行的。
