1
The way we taste food is not as simple as you might think.
2
It's true that when we put food in our mouths, taste buds on our tongues help us work out what we're eating.
3
However, the experience of what we call taste doesn't just happen in our mouths.
4
In fact, 75 to 95 percent of what we call taste is really about how a food smells.
5
And there are other senses, too, that we use when we taste food.
6
Our brains take information from all our senses,
7
even sounds we hear, and create the experience we know as taste.
8
For example, if we see a food that is red, our brain will guess that it is sweet.
9
As a result, it may taste sweeter than it really is.
10
Green foods may taste more sour, black foods may taste slightly more bitter, and white foods a little more salty.
11
Even shapes affect the way we taste.
12
For example, a dessert served on a round plate may taste a little sweeter.
13
If it is served on a square plate, it may taste more bitter.
14
By learning more about taste, scientists believe we can develop healthier food that still tastes good.
15
Making sure we all have a healthier and tastier future.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
