Ruff day? Dogs can detect if people are stressed, research finds 研究证实：狗可以闻出你是否紧张 Whether its a tricky maths problem or an unexpected bill, daily life is full of stressful experiences. Now researchers have found that humans produce a different odor when under pressure – and dogs can sniff it out. While previous studies have suggested canines might pick up on human emotions, possibly through smell, questions remained over whether they could detect stress and if this could be done through scent. “This study has definitively proven that people, when they have a stress response, their odor profile changes,” said Clara Wilson, a PhD student at Queens University Belfast, and first author of the research. Wilson added the findings could prove useful when training service dogs, such as those that support people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 无论是棘手的数学题还是意想不到的账单，日常生活中总是有各种事让人压力山大。如今研究人员发现，人类在压力下会产生一种不同的体味，而狗狗可以嗅到这种味道。先前的研究表明，狗可以识别人类的情绪，可能是通过气味，但是对于狗狗能否通过气味识别人的精神压力还未有定论。该研究的第一作者、贝尔法斯特女王大学的博士生克拉拉·威尔逊说：“这项研究明确证实了人们在应对压力时体味会改变。”威尔逊说道，这一研究结果在训练服务犬尤其是协助创伤后应激障碍患者的狗狗时会很有用。 重点词汇 1. sniff 英?[sn?f] ?美?[sn?f] v.?嗅，闻；嗅到，察觉出 2. scent 英?[sent] ?美?[sent] n.?（动物或人的）气味 听双语新闻-填词 Ruff day?
