新闻报道三
A man in Halifax, Canada wanted to find out if people were thankful for someone holding the door open for them.
加拿大哈利法克斯的一名男子想知道，如果帮人们开门，他们是否会心存感激。
The social experiment showed that 99 out of 100 people expressed gratitude.
社会实验表明，100个人中有99人表达了感激之情。
"I didn't think we were going to get 99.
“我没想到结果会达到99%。
I don't know why, but I was pleasantly surprised because it went beyond just 'thank you'—people got into conversations with us," said Steve Foran, CEO of Gratitude At Work.
我不知道为什么，但我很惊喜，因为它不仅仅是一句‘谢谢’——人们和我们进行了交谈，”感恩工作”的首席执行官史蒂夫·福兰说。
"What we know from research is that from grateful people come good things," he said.
“我们从研究中得知，感恩的人会带来好事物，”他说。
"A simple way to induce gratitude in people is opening doors and so we went to six places and open the doors for people".
“让人们感激的一个简单方法就是帮忙开门，所以我们去了六个地方，帮人开了门。”
For the experiment, Foran's team went to a shopping center, a mall, two office buildings and a coffee shop.
为了进行实验，福兰的团队去了一个购物中心，一个大型商场，两栋办公楼和一家咖啡店。
The door was held for 15 to 20 people at a time at each location.
他们在每个地点的大门帮15至20人开了门。
"We did have one that didn't say thank you.
“我们确实碰到一个人没有说谢谢。
We're not here to judge them, because on any given day, that could be me or you.
我们不是来评判他们的，因为在某一天，那人也可能是我或你。
I suspect out of the 100 people, there were probably a bunch of them having a bad day, but grateful people make people grateful," said Foran.
我猜在这100个人中，可能有很多人今天过得很糟糕，但心怀感恩的人会让别人也感恩。”福兰说。
