    但有較大吻部的狗可能沒有辦法清楚地看見你笑或皺眉

  • so Coren suggests that tilting helps them get a better view.

    所以 Coren 假設歪頭可以幫助它們看得更清楚

  • He tested this idea by surveying 582 dog owners online,

    為了測試這個理論,他在線上調查了 582 位狗主人

  • asking them to describe about their dog's breed or head shape,

    詢問他們自己狗狗的品種或是頭型

  • then to rate how frequently their dogs do the head tilting thing.

  • as opposed to only 52% of owners of smaller-muzzled dogs.

    相較之下,僅有52%的短吻犬主人回答在相同情況下狗狗會歪頭

  • That, he says, is a statistically significant difference.

    Coren 認為這個數據上的差異相當地重要

  • But 52% is still a lot of dogs, so this probably isn't the whole story.

    但52%也是相當高的比率,所以真相可能不僅於此

  • A psychologist who runs a dog cognition lab named Alexandra Horowitz thinks that

    一位經營狗狗認知實驗室的心理學家 Alexandra Horowitz 認為

  • dogs could be trying to hear us better with those sideways looks.
