时差N小时 你可以预测未来吗?(上)（在线收听）

It’s impossible to know the future. We can guess, but no one has actual knowledge of what’s going to happen down the road.

未来难以预测。我们可以猜测，但是没人真正知道将来会发生什么。

But if you’re someone who trusts her feelings, you’re more likely to accurately predict future events than people who don’t trust their feelings as much.

但是如果你相信自己的直觉，那么你比那些不相信直觉的人更容易准确预测出未来事件。

That’s the conclusion of a recent study done by researchers at Columbia Business School.

这是哥伦比亚商学院研究人员在最近一项研究中得出的结论。

Through a series of eight studies they found that subjects who had a high amount of trust in their feelings were generally better able to predict things like the outcomes of presidential elections, football games, the winner of American Idol, and even the weather.

通过8项的一系列研究，研究人员发现，那些高度信任自己直觉的人通常会更好地预测出总统选举、足球比赛、美国偶像胜出者甚至天气等情况。
