They say that first impressions count, but if you’re a man and you want to make a lasting impression on a woman, apparently all you need is a deep, low-pitched voice to rival Barry White.
大家都說第一印象很重要，但如果你是一位男性，想要給女性留下深刻持續的印象，只要有一把低沉的迷人嗓音就可以啦!美國黑人歌手巴裡·懷特的聲音就非常性感低沉。
According to a study from the University of Aberdeen, women are more sensitive towards deeper voices in men and will most likely remember them over guys with a higher pitchedtone.
根據英國阿伯丁大學的一項研究，和男性相比，女性對低沉的嗓音更加敏感;而比起那些高亢的嗓音來說，女性也更容易因為男人低沉的嗓音而自此記住他們。
The study, lead by researcher David Smith, observed 45 women who were shown images objects and were read out the name of the object by someone with a low and high-pitched voice.
該研究由研究者大衛·史密斯主導，共有45位女性參與到實驗中。研究人員為她們展示物品圖像，並讓人分別用低沉和高亢的嗓音讀出物品的名稱。
When asked to recall the objects and which voice they preferred, the deep drawl came uptrumps, in both memory and attractiveness.
當被要求回憶物品和被問到哪個嗓音更喜歡時，女士們的回答顯示，不管是在幫助記憶還是在吸引力方面，慢吞吞的低沉嗓音都更勝一籌。
According to the findings, the results show that a woman’s memory is enhanced by a low, manly voice and because women rely heavily on memories, it helps them scan the voice tones for genetic superiority when looking for a potential partner.
根據研究發現，結果顯示低沉的男性嗓音會幫助提升女性的記憶力。而因為女性非常依賴記憶作出判斷，這也會幫助她們仔細考慮這些聲音語調，會在她們選擇潛在伴侶時顯示出低沉嗓音的優越性。
David Smith said: "Our findings demonstrate that women's memory is enhanced by lower pitch male voices, compared with the less attractive raised pitch male voices.
大衛·史密斯表示：「我們的研究發現證明，那些女性的記憶力會因為低沉的男性嗓音而有所提升，相比之下高音男聲則比較缺乏吸引力。」
"Our experiments indicate for the first time that signals from the opposite sex that are important for mate choice also affect accuracy in women's memory."
「我們的實驗第一次顯示，異性釋放的信號不僅在配偶選擇方面產生重要影響，還有影響女性記憶力的準確性。」
Is a deep, masculine voice the key to a woman’s heart? 「We think this is evidence that evolution has shaped women's ability to remember information associated with desirable men,」 says Dr. Kevin Allen, a supervisor from the study.
低沉的男性嗓音是打開女性芳心的鑰匙?這項研究的監督導師凱文·艾倫博士表示：「我們相信這些都是有力的證據，證明進化使女性發展具備了記住理想男性相關信息的能力。」
