大家都说第一印象很重要，但如果你是一位男性，想要给女性留下深刻持续的印象，只要有一把低沉的迷人嗓音就可以啦！美国黑人歌手巴里·怀特的声音就非常性感低沉。
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。
根据英国阿伯丁大学的一项研究，和男性相比，女性对低沉的嗓音更加敏感；而比起那些高亢的嗓音来说，女性也更容易因为男人低沉的嗓音而自此记住他们。
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 pitched tone。
该研究由研究者大卫·史密斯主导，共有45位女性参与到实验中。研究人员为她们展示物品图像，并让人分别用低沉和高亢的嗓音读出物品的名称。
The study, led 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。
当被要求回忆物品和被问到哪个嗓音更喜欢时，女士们的回答显示，不管是在帮助记忆还是在吸引力方面，慢吞吞的低沉嗓音都更胜一筹。
When asked to recall the objects and which voice they preferred, the deep drawl came up trumps, in both memory and attractiveness。
根据研究发现，结果显示低沉的男性嗓音会帮助提升女性的记忆力。而因为女性非常依赖记忆作出判断，这也会帮助她们仔细考虑这些声音语调，会在她们选择潜在伴侣时显示出低沉嗓音的优越性。
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。
大卫·史密斯表示：“我们的研究发现证明，那些女性的记忆力会因为低沉的男性嗓音而有所提升，相比之下高音男声则比较缺乏吸引力。”
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。
“我们的实验第一次显示，异性释放的信号不仅在配偶选择方面产生重要影响，还有影响女性记忆力的准确性。”
"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."
低沉的男性嗓音是打开女性芳心的钥匙？这项研究的监督导师凯文·艾伦博士表示：“我们相信这些都是有力的证据，证明进化使女性发展具备了记住理想男性相关信息的能力。”
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。
