一项对40000人的移动情况的分析表明，我们中的大多数人只会经常去25个地方——当我们有了新的喜爱的地方时，我们就会丢掉旧的。克里斯托弗·因塔利亚塔报道。

Tally up all your "regular spots"—places you visit on a weekly basis like restaurants, markets, parks. And what do you get? A new study says that most of us limit our hangouts to some 25 places.
把你所有的“常规地点”——你每周都会去的地方，比如餐馆、市场、公园等进行汇总，会得到什么?一项新的研究表明，我们大多数人把自己的活动场所限制在25个左右。
"So every time we adopt a new place, we abandon another one. This is how we reshape our routines." Andrea Baronchelli, a physicist at City, University of London. "So we are actually boring at any point in time. But over the course of time we change the places we are boring in."
“每当我们适应一个新地方，我们就会放弃另一个旧的。这就是我们重塑日常生活的方式。”Andrea Baronchelli，伦敦大学城市学院的物理学家。“我们在任何时候都很无聊。但随着时间的推移，我们会改变我们无聊的地点。”
Baronchelli and his team analyzed the movements of nearly 40,000 people worldwide, using mostly anonymized location data from the Sony Lifelog app. And they found that—regardless of age, gender, geographic location—as users explored new places, they maintained a steady roster of about 25 regular haunts.
Baronchelli和他的团队使用了是索尼Lifelog应用软件的匿名定位数据分析了全球近4万人的活动。他们发现，随着用户不断探索新的地点，他们保持了大约25个固定活动地。
"I think this is really a universal, a deep property of us as humans, of the way we balance this tension between exploration and exploitation."
“我认为这是我们人类的一种普遍的、深层的特性，是我们平衡探索和消磨之间对立关系的方式。”
The researchers did see a link between how active study subjects were socially and the number of spots they frequented. People who were more active had a slightly higher number of regular spots. The scientists estimated social activity by phone calls, texts and Facebook interactions. That finding suggests that our friends could ramp up our exploratory behavior. The results are in the journal Nature Human Behavior. [Laura Alessandretti et al., Evidence for a conserved quantity in human mobility]
研究人员确实发现了研究对象的社交活跃程度和他们经常去的地点的数量之间的联系。那些更活跃的人有更多的固定活动地点。科学家们通过电话、短信和Facebook互动来估算社交活动。这一发现表明，我们的朋友（更多的社交行为）可以加强我们的探索行为。研究结果发表在《自然·人类行为》杂志上。
The researchers themselves admit that their lunch routine is in keeping with their discovery. "Every day we say we should try something else, and then we say, 'maybe tomorrow.'"
研究人员自己也承认他们的午餐习惯与他们的发现相符。“每天我们都说我们应该尝试些别的东西，然后我们说，‘也许明天吧。’”
