纪录片《你喝多了吗》 第11期：饮酒习惯（在线收听）

What strikes me about how I and other people drink

最令我吃惊的是

is how much that reveals about us.

饮酒习惯也是我们生活的写照

It seems to me we can chart our lives in relation to alcohol.

它似乎决定我们的生活轨迹

And alcohol in a sense has a sort of life cycle.

饮酒似乎 也有一定的生命周期

And maybe the reasons that we can think of

也许饮酒的原因

for drinking changed as we change.

会随着人们的变化而变化

But if you just picked somebody randomly off the street

但是如果你从大街上随意挑出几个人

and said to them "OK tell me your drinking...style "

并要他们谈谈各自的饮酒习惯

you would learn a lot about their life.

你也会多少了解他们

The interesting thing about this relationship

这种联系的有趣之处在于

is that its not universal.

每个人饮酒的原因都不同

But I know from my work with other drugs that very often

不过根据我研究其他成瘾品的经验来看

patterns emerge that define the type of user you are.

确实会出现不同类别的服用者

So can each of us be defined as a particular type of drinker?

那么会有不同类别的饮酒者吗

Do we fit into different tribes?

饮酒者可以被分类吗

The most compelling evidence has come not from humans

最好的证据并非来自于人类

but from some of our nearest relatives.

而是我们的近亲
