36个问题让你跟陌生人相爱

These 36 questions can make you 'fall in love with anyone'

The path to true love just got a whole lot smoother.

通往真爱的路现在更平坦了一点.

The key? To ask someone the 36 questions below - and answer them yourself. Doing this, psychologists have claimed, can make absolutely anyone fall in head-over-heels.

关键方法？问某人以下36个问题——同时自己也回答这些问题.心理学家称,这样做,就绝对可以让任何人爱得神魂颠倒.

If it sounds easy; it isn't.

如果说听上去很容易,那么实际上可没那么简单.

The questions begin gently enough: 'Would you like to be famous?'; 'What's your perfect day?'; Or 'When did you last sing to yourself?'

这些问题一开始很温和："你想成名吗？""你心中完美的一天是怎样的？"或"你上次自己一个人唱歌是什么时候？"

But they rapidly become more personal.

但是很快,问题就变得更私人.

'Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?' and 'How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?'

"关于自己将如何死去,你有神秘的预感吗？""你和你母亲的关系怎么样？"

The idea is to foster the atmosphere of mutual vulnerability and intimacy that a romantic relationship thrives on. Albeit by revealing to each other your deepest, darkest thoughts - the sort it usually takes a few months to admit (if ever).

这些问题的主要意图是营造一个相互脆弱和亲密的氛围,以促进恋爱关系的发展,尽管这需要向彼此吐露你们最深的、最黑暗的想法,这些想法你往往需要几个月的时间才会承认（如果承认的话）.

The 36 questions were published in a study by psychologist Arthur Aron called 'The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness'.

这36个问题叫做"人际亲密产生试验",由心理学家亚瑟·艾伦发表在一份研究中.

He tested the theory that it's possible to make two people fall in love by getting them to share intimate thoughts and memories. To prove this, he persuaded 52 sets of male and female strangers and 19 sets of female strangers to try it. Two of the participants entered a lab via separate doors, before sitting opposite one another and answering his series of ever-more personal and probing questions.
