俗话说“抓住男人的胃也就抓住了他的心”，其实这并非不无道理。
And it turns out it’s true. Men spend more time thinking about food – and sleep – than they do about sex, a study shows.
其实这还是大实话。据一份研究调查便是，男人每天在大脑中所想着“吃”和“睡”这码事的程度要远远高于他们对于“性”的牵肠挂肚。
They think about all three more often than women do.
而且在这三方面上，男人要比女性“想得多”。
The research found that, contrary to popular wisdom, men do not think about sex every seven seconds.
这项研究发现，通常所说的男人每隔七秒钟便会想到性事，这并非如此。
In reality, it is more like once every waking hour.
事实上，在醒着的时间里，大概每个小时会想起一次。
The study was carried out by Professor Terri Fisher, a psychologist at the Ohio State University in the U.S.
美国俄亥俄州州立大学的心理学家特瑞·费舍尔博士主持了这项研究调查。
She asked 163 students – male and female – to carry around a chart and mark it every time they thought about sex, food or sleep.
参加测试的有163名男女学生，每当他们在大脑中想到了关于性、食物和睡眠方面的事时，他们就在表格中记录了下来。
The numbers varied widely, from one student who only recorded one sexual thought a day to a male who wrote down 388 in 24 hours.
最后得出的数据差异很大，一个男学生所记录下的在24小时之后想到的性方面的事的次数居然高达388次。
But on average, men thought about food and sleep more often than they thought about sex.
但从平均水平上来看，男人想到吃和睡的频率高于想起性的。
And they thought about all three more often than women did.
他们所想起的频率是女性的三倍之多。
