Taking a picture to help you remember something might end up having the opposite effect, according to research published in the United States.
拍照幫助你記住某件事情，最後可能適得其反，根據美國發表的研究。
A study released this week showed that people who took photographs of items during a museum tour were less likely to remember details than those who merely looked at the objects.
本週公布的研究顯示，在參觀博物館時拍下展覽品照片的人，相較於僅用雙眼觀察者，比較不可能記得細節。
That is a lesson for a world growing accustomed to instant photo-sharing on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks, said psychological scientist Linda Henkel of Fairfield University.
那對一個越來越習慣在臉書、推特和其他社群網站立即分享照片的世界是個課題，美國費菲爾大學心理學家韓克說。
"People so often whip out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them," said Henkel.
「人們這麼常掏出相機，幾乎是想也不想地捕捉某個瞬間，反而錯過就在面前發生的事情，」韓克說。
