Passage One

文章一

Many restaurants are trying to persuade customers to eat more sustainably, moving away from environmentally unfriendly meat towards greener dishes.

许多餐厅正努力劝说顾客以更环保的方式饮食，从对环境不友好的肉类转向更绿色的菜品。

Although it sounds counterintuitive, restaurants which include specific vegetarian sections on their menus may be unintentionally encouraging customers to eat meat, a new study suggests.

一项新研究表明，尽管这听起来有违直觉，但在菜单上设置专门素食区的餐厅，可能反而在无意中鼓励顾客吃肉。

Behavioral scientist Linda Bacon, one of the study's authors, said restaurants can have a positive impact on the environment by encouraging their customers to choose more plant-based food and less meat.

该研究作者之一、行为科学家琳达·培根表示，餐厅可以通过鼓励顾客多吃植物性食物、少吃肉类，对环境产生积极影响。

However, our findings suggest that while certain restaurant menu designs can encourage some consumers to make pro-environmental food choices, they can have the opposite effect on others.

然而，我们的研究结果表明，虽然某些餐厅菜单设计能鼓励部分消费者做出环保的饮食选择，但对另一些人却可能产生相反效果。

The study involved 750 people, half of whom frequently ate vegetarian food, and half of whom rarely ate it.

这项研究有750人参与，其中一半经常吃素食，另一半很少吃素食。

No vegetarians were included.

研究对象中没有严格的素食主义者。

They were given different menus and asked to choose a meal as if they were eating out with friends.

研究人员给他们提供不同的菜单，让他们假设和朋友外出就餐并选择一餐。

Placing vegetarian dishes in a separate section did not have a significant effect on the choices made by infrequent vegetarian food eaters.

将素菜单独分区，对很少吃素食的人的选择没有显著影响。

But it did have a notable effect on the frequent eaters, lowering their chance of picking a vegetarian option by 65%.

但对经常吃素食的人有明显影响，使他们选择素食的概率降低了65%。

The researchers also discovered that presenting a vegetarian dish as the chef's recommendation or including a more appealing description of a non-meat meal leads to a greater proportion of infrequent vegetarian eaters choosing a vegetarian option.

研究人员还发现，把素菜标注为主厨推荐，或是给素食菜品更吸引人的描述，会让更多很少吃素食的人选择素食。

But again, these altered menu designs backfired with those who ate vegetarian food more frequently, leading them to be less likely to choose a vegetarian dish.

但同样，这些修改后的菜单设计对经常吃素食的人适得其反，使他们更不愿意选择素菜。
