调查研究发现，当你在餐厅用餐时所选的座位可能会很大程度上影响你对食物的选择与吃的量的多少，进而影响你的体型。

On a diet? Then consider sitting by the window the next time you eat out.

正在节食？那么下次外出吃饭的时候记得坐在靠窗的位置。

A new book shows that where you sit in a restaurant can affect how many calories you take in.

一本新书显示你就餐时所坐的位置能影响你摄入的卡里路的量。

The researchers found something interesting in what diners ordered and how it related to where they sat.The results were telling: people sitting farthest from the front door ate the fewest salads and were 73 per cent more likely to order dessert.

研究人员发现了人们所点菜品与座位之间的奇妙关系。结果说明显示：人们坐得离前台最远，所吃沙拉就最少，相比而言其点甜点的概率要高73%。

Those seated at a dark table or single room ate heavier food and ordered more of it, while diners seated at high-top bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts.

坐在深色餐桌旁边或包间里面的人所吃所点的食物的口味相对较重，而坐在吧台高脚凳上的人则吃的沙拉多一些，甜点少一些。

‘The darker it is, the more you'll eat, because you think nobody would notice how much you eat.’ Professor Wansink explains in the book.

“餐桌颜色越深，你吃的东西越多，因为你认为没有人会注意你吃了多少。”万幸可教授在书中如是写道。

In contrast, 'seeing the sunlight, people or trees outside might make you care about how you look, might make you think about walking or might order a green salad.'

相反，“你看到阳光、外面的人和树木，你可能就会在意自己的形体，会想离开或者点一份绿色食品——沙拉。”

And if there are TV sets in the restaurant, sit far away from them. Professor Wansink found that the closer a table was to a screen, the more fried food the diners ordered.

如果餐厅里面有电视的话，请远离他们。万幸可教授发现餐桌离电视屏幕越近，餐桌上的人点油炸食品的量就越大。
