The second teenager seemed to find it even easier.

第二只也轻易地成功了

And the third one -I wouldnt have known hed touched a drop.

Then came the adults...

And this is when it all started to fall apart.

They'd had exactly the same dose as the teenagers

but clearly couldnt hold it.

但显然它却抓不住

Maybe the third would be different?

第三只是不是能成功呢

No.

也没有

You'd imagine that there would either be no difference

你原先认为两者的反应会相同

or in fact it would go the other way.

但是事实却截然相反

That a young if you like a young brain would be more affected¹.

年轻老鼠的大脑在机能上要好一些

For these kinds of tasks we think that the adolescents are less sensitive

从实验来看 青春期老鼠更能抵抗酒精

because of the brain regions that are responding to those tasks

它们大脑中对这些任务作出反应的区域

are different in terms of their developmental stage than adults.

与成年老鼠是有区别的

So to drink more to be able to cope with more booze on board
