囧研究：爲什麼越長大時間過得越快？

As you get older, it feels like time tends to move faster.
年紀越大，時間似乎就過得越快。

We perceive time something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the less likely you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.
我們把時間視爲諸多記憶。所以經歷得越少，你記憶中有趣的事兒就越少。

Time does go by more quickly the older we get. In the first few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is brand new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain firmly in our memories.
我們年紀越大，時間過得越快。生命最初的幾年裏，所做、所感知的任何事情都是全新的,許多經歷都是獨一無二的，因而記得牢。

But as the years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we have already accomplished a lot and because we become slaves to our daily routines.
歲月流逝，新的體驗越來越少，因爲我們成就頗豐，也因爲已成爲日常生活的奴隸。

Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we've never done, recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been.
也許我們需要一個新的應用鼓勵我們嘗試獲得新的體驗，指出那些我們從未做過的事情，推薦我們從未品嚐過的菜餚。

Such an app could make our lives more varied, prod us to try new things, slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.
這樣一個應用可以豐富我們的生活，鼓勵我們嘗試新事物，放慢時間腳步，增加幸福感。
