Many employees these days eat lunch at their desks, because it seems like a harmless way to cram more work into the day.

现在，许多员工都在办公桌上吃午餐，因为这样可以挤出时间干更多工作，而且似乎也无甚大碍。

They might not be so casual about it if they knew the habit was helping them pack on extra pounds. A study in the February issue of the Journal of Clinical Nutrition found people who ate while distracted ate more, and felt less full after lunch, than those who focused on eating.

如果他们知道这个习惯会让他们变得肥胖，可能就不会如此满不在乎了。《临床营养学》杂志二月期上的一篇研究报告称，与专心吃东西的人相比，吃东西时分心的人会吃得更多，而且在午餐后的饱腹感较低。

Researchers served a nine-item lunch to 44 participants who were split into two groups. One group was asked to eat lunch while playing a computer game of solitaire. The second group ate lunch without distractions.

研究人员将44名参与者分为两组，让他们吃了一顿含有九种食物的午餐。他们要求一组在吃饭时玩电脑上的纸牌游戏，另一组则专心吃饭。
