文字稿
Our canine companions come in many sizes, shapes and personalities, but they all seem to share a common sensitive trait.
我們的愛犬有各種各樣的大小、體型和性格，但它們似乎都有一個共同的敏感特征。

"Many dog owners will tell you that their pets can sense their mood. But now, ?there is some evidence to suggest that they can smell our psychological state. Can't you?"

“很多狗主人都會告訴你，他們的寵物狗能感知他們的情緒。但現(xiàn)在，有一些證據(jù)表明，狗能嗅出我們的心理狀態(tài)。（對狗說）是不是？”
This is a stress sniff test devised by scientists.
這是科學家們設計的一項 “壓力嗅探測試”。
Willing pet dogs, volunteered by their owners, were trained to nose through this canister line-up.
通過主人報名，寵物狗積極接受訓練來嗅探這一排罐子。
Each can contains a sample of sweat or breath taken from a person either before or just after they had completed a difficult stress-inducing maths problem.
每個罐子里裝有一個人的汗水或呼吸樣本，樣本是在此人完成一道容易引起壓力的數(shù)學難題之前或之后采集的。
The task – sniff out a stressed person sample.
狗的任務是嗅出從有壓力的人身上采集的樣本。

"Having a psychological stress response changes the way that our body is emitting odours and dogs can detect that change."
克萊拉·威爾遜? ? ? ?貝爾法斯特女王大學

"I think it's just really interesting to kind of confirm that alongside everything that we're aware of, there are these more subtle cues that we might be emitting that dogs are picking up on."
克萊拉·威爾遜? ? ? ?貝爾法斯特女王大學
“因為我覺得能證實這一點很有趣，除了已知狗有察覺力以外，我們散發(fā)出的更微妙的氣味線索也能被狗捕捉到。”
The researchers say their findings could help in the training of service and therapy dogs – understanding exactly what human scent cues their noses can detect. But the researchers also 'sniffed out' one more reason why people feel so connected to their dogs.
研究人員表示，這個發(fā)現(xiàn)可以幫助訓練服務犬和治療犬，途徑是準確了解狗鼻子能嗅到哪些人類氣味。與此同時，研究人員也 “嗅出了” 人與狗如此親密的一個原因是狗能嗅出人的情緒。
