　　On the June 30th podcast, you heard some bad singing. Clearly a lot of people think they can sing—just look at the enormous crowds that show up to audition for American Idol. But how many people can actually stay in key?

　　Scientists think they have an answer, which they presented at a conference on acoustics in Paris on July 2nd. In the first part of the study, the researchers stopped people at random in a Montreal park and asking them to sing Quebec’s anthem. In that park, turns out 40 out of 42 people sounded as good as the pros. That percentage is surprisingly high. Which makes the two people who couldn’t sing especially interesting—why couldn’t they carry a tune?

　　The researchers repeated the experiment, this time asking people to sing Jingle Bells. They then tested the bad singers’ ability to listen to some music and identify the sour notes. They found that the off-pitch crooners fall into two classes. Those who simply can not hear that they’re hitting the wrong notes. And those who can tell, but keep singing anyway.

　　在6月30日的播客中，你听到了一些唱得糟糕的`音乐。很明显很多人自认为歌唱得不错——只要看看“美国偶像”大众歌手选秀赛中的海量参与者你就知道了。但是真正有多少人能找得到调呢?

　　科学家认为他们找到了答案。他们于7月2日在巴黎的一个学术会议上公布了这个答案。首先，该研究的科研人员在蒙特利尔公园里随机叫住一些人，然后要求他们唱魁北克省的省歌。结果在这个公园里参加调查的42人中，有40人唱起来跟职业歌手差不多。这个百分比高得出奇。这个结果让研究人员对那两个不会唱歌的人尤其感兴趣——他们纳闷儿为什么这两个人找不到调呢?

　　研究人员重复了实验，这一次他们让参与者唱《铃儿响叮当》。随后，研究人员让唱得不好的人听音乐，并让他们识别出那些跑调的音调。最后的结论是：跑调的歌手分为两种，第一种是他们根本就听不出来他们跑调了;第二种是他们虽然知道自己跑调了，但是依然跑着调唱下去。
