Scientists from two universities studied how people help others. They found that people are more kind than we believe.

兩所大學的科學家研究了人們如何幫助他人。他們發現，人們比我們想像的更加善良。

The scientists asked 100,000 people from 125 countries to play a game. People could take $100 for themselves. Or, they could take $70 and give $400 to help the planet.

科學家請 125 個國家的 10 萬人參與一項遊戲。參與者可以拿 100 美元給自己，或者拿 70 美元並捐款 400 美元來幫助地球。

Many people chose to help. 69% of people cooperated. But people thought only 47% of others would help. This happened in almost every country.

許多人選擇幫助他人，有 69% 的人選擇合作。但人們認為只有 47% 的他人會提供幫助。幾乎每個國家都出現了這種情況。

In Germany, the difference was very big. 86% of Germans helped others. But they thought only 47% of people were kind. The scientists say this negative thinking stops people from working together.

在德國，這種差異非常之大。86% 的德國人會幫助他人，但他們認為只有 47% 的人是善良的。科學家表示，這種負面思考會阻礙人們共同合作。

The study shows that humans like to help. However, we think other people are less kind than they really are.

研究顯示人類傾向於幫助他人。然而，我們認為其他人的善良程度低於事實。
