We tend to think that friends and family members are our biggest sources of connection,laughter and warmth. While that may well be true, researchers have also recently found that interacting with strangers actually brings a boost in mood and feelings of belong that we didn't expect.

In one series of studies, researchers instructed Chicago area commuters using public transportation to strike up a conversation with someone near them. On average, participants who followed the instruction felt better than those who had been told to stand or sit in silence. The researchers also argued that when we shy away from casual interaction with strangers, it is often due to a misplaced anxiety that they might not want to talk to us. Much of the time, however, this belief is false. As it turns out, many people are actually perfectly willing to talk —and may even be flattered to receive your attention.

【翻译】

我们倾向认为朋友和家庭成员是我们联系，欢声笑语和温暖的源泉。然而这个也许是真的，研究者在最近的研究中发现和陌生人交流实际上可以在心情和感觉上带来预期之外的效果。

 在一系列的研究中，研究者让芝加哥地区的通勤者在公共交通工具上和他们附近的人进行沟通。平均而言，按照指引进行的参与者比那些被告知安静的站着或者坐着的人感觉要好些。调查组也认为当我们羞于和陌生人闲谈的时候，这个经常是因为不适合的紧张导致他们不想和我们交谈。然而，大部分的时间这种想法是错的。事实上，许多人实际上很愿意去交谈，甚至可能是因为你的关于而倍感荣幸。

【范文】

我们倾向于认为朋友和家人是我们交往、欢笑和温暖的最大来源。虽然这可能是真的，但研究人员最近也发现，与陌生人互动实际上会带来在情绪和归属感方面的意外提升。

在一系列研究中，研究人员让芝加哥地区乘坐公共交通工具的通勤者与旁边的人搭讪。 平均而言，遵循这一指令的参与者比那些被告知安静地站着或坐着的人感觉更好。研究人员还认为，当我们羞于与陌生人进行随意的互动时，往往是因为一种无谓的焦虑，担心他们可能不想和我们说话。然而，很多时候，这种想法是错误的。事实证明，许多人实际上非常愿意交谈，甚至可能因为能得到你的关注而感到荣幸。
