The real reason people close their eyes when they kiss is because the brain can't deal with more than two things at once. 

人们接吻时闭眼的真正原因是因为大脑不能同时处理两件以上的事情。

That is the finding of academics who have explored one of the great mysteries of the human psyche. 

这是探索了人类心理最大谜团之一的学者们的发现。

When people pucker up the brain finds it difficult to process the sensation if cognitive power is also being used to analyse what we see, said psychologists from Royal Holloway, University of London. 

来自伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院的心理学家们说：如果认知能力也来分析我们所看到的东西的时候，所以当人们在接吻时还睁着眼睛的话那么大脑就很难处理接吻的那种感觉。

'Tactile awareness depends on the level of perceptual load in a concurrent visual task,' said Polly Dalton and Sandra Murphy, from the university, in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance.

触觉意识取决于同时发生的视觉任务的知觉负载水平“，来自该大学的两名研究员在发表于《实验心理：人类知觉和表现》杂志的文章上称。

The academics found that the visual field overrides tactile responses - meaning people would struggle to continue kissing if what they were looking at became more difficult to process

The cognitive psychologists reached their conclusion without studying people actually kissing.

认知心理学家在没有研究人们真正亲吻的前提下，得到了他们的结论。

Instead people were asked do visual tests while their response to something touching their hands was measured. 

他们反而要求人们做视觉测试，与此同时测量当有东西接触他们手的时候他们的反应。

The academics found that the visual field overrides tactile responses - meaning people would struggle to continue kissing if what they were looking at became more difficult to process. 

研究人员发现，视觉会覆盖触觉。意思是当人们他们所看到的东西大脑难以处理时，人们继续亲吻就有困难。

Dr Dalton told The Sunday Times: 'If we are focusing strongly on a visual task, this will reduce our awareness of stimuli in other senses. 

道尔顿博士告诉星期日时报（也称星期日泰晤士报）说：“如果我们在视觉上很专注于某一件事的话，就会减少我们对其他感官的刺激意识。

'It is important for designers to be aware of these effects, because auditory and tactile alerts are often used in situations of high visual demand, such as driving a car or flying an aircraft.'

”认识到这些影响对于设计师来说很重要，因为听觉和触觉警示经常被应用在一些对视觉要求很高的情景下，例如开车或者开飞机。“

The findings could also explain why people often shut their eyes whilst reading braille or when dancing. 

这些发现同样解释了为什么人们经常在读盲文和跳舞的时候闭着眼睛。

Dr Dalton added: 'These results could explain why we close our eyes when we want to focus attention on another sense. Shutting out the visual input leaves more mental resources to focus on other aspects of our experience.' 

道尔顿博士又说：”这些结果可以解释为什么我们要闭着眼睛，当我们想集中注意在其他感官上的是时候。闭眼可以允许我们将更多的精力放在体验其他感官意识上。

I call BS on this one; the reason we close our eyes is because being that close to someone's face just looks weird and can kill the moment

 这个我叫傻逼。我们接吻时闭眼的原因是因为，贴得太近，看着别个的脸会很怪异。也因为不想破坏这美妙的时刻。

Henri, true to some extent, but sometimes the best part of kissing, as Seigeg suggests, is seeing who you're kissing. Think the scientists and experts, once again, need to get out a bit more...

楼上，某种程度来说你是对的，但是接吻最美妙的部分在于看着你的接吻对象。看来这些科学家和专家还需要多多努力吖。

Well for us that have eye problems, and I'm guessing others without, the issue is that when you're that close in a kiss, you go bozz-eyed trying to look into the others eyes - obviously not a good look, lol.

 对我们来说，因为眼睛有点毛病。 我想别人可能没有。所以呢，如果你贴近接吻时，你那包子眼深深的视入别人的眼里，那明显地不那么好看嘛。大笑。

What's the point of kissing the person you're with if you'd rather be kissing someone else? 18 years in a relationship and I've never wanted to do that. You obviously haven't found your soulmate!

如果你更想和另外一个人接吻，那么你还和你的伴侣接什么吻吖？我和妻子在一起18年了，我从来没那么想过。显然你还没找到自己的灵魂伴侣。

If you ever get to kiss what I've kissed you wouldn't want to look either!

我曾经和一个好丑的人接过吻，我不信你和TA接吻时敢睁眼。

I always close my eyes when kissing the wife...I find it heightens the other senses...I can hear her lifting my wallet

 我吻老婆的时候总是闭眼的。我发现这样做，其他的感官就倍强。我能听到她划拉我的钱包。

真他妈的胡说八道的多。

If people need to be told why this happens their in trouble. Turn off one sense and the others kick in stronger.

如果哪个家伙还需要教育为什么要闭眼，那他要挂了。  关上某个感觉，其他的感觉倍增。

As teenagers we used to open our eyes to see if she had closed hers.
