Why you’re more creative in coffee shops
为什么你在咖啡馆里更有创造力
难度：CSE7
By Bryan Lufkin
Some of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops. Pablo Picasso JK Rowling Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre Bob Dylan – whether they’re painters singer-songwriters philosophers or writers people across nations and centuries have tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a café.
纵观历史，许多大师的杰作是在咖啡馆里完成的。毕加索，J·K·罗琳，波伏娃与萨特，还有鲍勃·迪伦——不论是画家，创作型歌手，哲学家还是作家，几个世纪以来，世界各地的人们坐在咖啡馆的桌旁全神贯注地工作，发挥自己的创造力。
There are many ways coffee shops trigger our creativity in a way offices and homes don’t. The combination of noise casual crowds and visual variety can give us just the right amount of distraction to help us be our sharpest and most creative. (So no it’s not just that double espresso.)
咖啡馆以多种方式激发我们的创造力，这是在办公室或家里达不到的效果。噪音，随机的人群以及多样的视觉体验，这些因素结合起来，恰到好处地分散了我们的注意力，让我们进入最敏锐，最有创造力的状态。（因此，并非只是因为加浓咖啡。）
Some of us stick in our earbuds as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. But scientists have known for years that background noise can benefit our creative thinking.
有些人但凡在公共场合工作，就会第一时间塞上耳塞。但是科学家们早就发现背景噪音有助于我们进行创造性的思考。
So the jazz muzak light conversation and barista banging coffee grounds out of the grinder aren’t a nuisance – they could help you come up with your next magnum opus.
因此，咖啡馆里弥漫着的爵士背景乐，轻声的交谈，以及咖啡师用咖啡机磨咖啡豆的声响，都不惹人厌，这些可以帮你酝酿出下一部杰作。
There’s also the fact that in a coffee shop we’re surrounded by people who’ve come to do the same thing as us which acts as a motivator. You see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well. Just observing them can motivate you to work harder.
此外，在咖啡馆里，身处那些同样是来这工作的人们之中，我们会感到干劲十足。你看到别人在工作，这让你也自然而然地进入了工作状态。仅仅通过观察他们，就能激励你更努力地工作。
