專家解讀人類顏色偏好
海軍藍能讓人冷靜放松

If you're looking to cool your jets and relax, one of the most calming colors to be surrounded by, according to a global survey from paper merchant G F Smith and psychologists at the University of Sussex, is navy blue, closely followed by teal-like turquoise, and soft pastel pink.
據造紙商G?F?史密斯以及英國薩塞克斯大學心理學家的一項全球調查，如果你想冷靜放松下來，海軍藍是最好的選擇之一，其次是藍綠色和柔粉色。

The World's Favorite Color Project involved 26,596 participants from over 100 different countries, to get some insights into the world's most beloved color.
"世界上最受歡迎的顏色"項目的研究對象涉及100多個國家的26596名參與者，目的是了解最受人們喜愛的顏色。

"First, the more saturated the color is, the more it is associated with excitement and stimulation," Professor Anna Franklin, a leading expert in color psychology at the University of Sussex, explained. "Second, the lighter the color, the more it is associated with calmness and relaxation. Many studies have found that blue and green are also associated with calmness and relaxation."
薩塞克斯大學色彩心理學領域的權威專家安娜?富蘭克林教授解釋說："首先，顏色越飽滿，它就越能引起興奮和刺激；其次，顏色越淺，就越能讓你感到平靜和放松；許多研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，藍色和綠色也是'放松色'的典型代表。"

The findings also showed that orange is most often associated with happiness, while pink is viewed as the sexiest, and the colors people around the world most associated with luxury are white, purple, and orange.
研究結果還表明，橙色通常與幸福感有關，而粉紅色則是性感的代名詞。一想到奢侈品全世界的人們都會聯(lián)想到白色、紫色和橙色。

朝俄首腦會談后還將舉行有雙方官員參與的擴大會談。

The DPRK top leader's first summit with his Russian counterpart is expected to "consolidate a positive trend" amid stalled DPRK-US talks about denuclearization, experts said.
專家稱，在朝美無核化談判陷入停滯之際，朝俄首腦此次會晤有望"鞏固積極趨勢"。

>IKEA to test leasing
宜家試水家具租賃業(yè)務

IKEA wants to roll out furniture rental to all its main markets in a bid to appeal to its increasingly environmentally conscious and transient customers.
全球最大家具零售商宜家希望在其所有主要市場推出家具租賃業(yè)務，以吸引環(huán)保意識日益增強的流動客戶。

The world's largest furniture retailer said it wanted to test out the idea of leasing office furniture such as desks and chairs to business customers, starting in Switzerland.
宜家表示，希望首先從瑞士開始，向商務用戶出租桌椅等辦公家具以測試其家具租賃理念。

The rental pilot was driven by a recognition that many consumers change homes more frequently but can't afford new furniture every time they move, said Jesper Brodin, chief executive of Ingka Group, which owns most IKEA stores.
擁有大部分宜家門店的Ingka集團的首席執(zhí)行官杰斯珀?布洛丁表示，促使宜家試點家具租賃業(yè)務的原因是，該公司認識到，許多消費者在更加頻繁地更換住處，但不是每次搬家都買得起新家具。

IKEA, which had global sales of 39 billion euros last year, will test a range of subscription-based leasing offers in all 30 of its markets by 2020 so products are reused as often as possible before being recycled.
去年宜家的全球銷售額為390億歐元。到2020年，宜家將在其所有30個市場中測試一系列基于訂閱的租賃服務，從而使產品在回收之前盡可能多地重復使用。
