Late at night you wobble through the darkened streets, still talking, feeling pleasantly at one with the world.

午夜时，醉的穿过夜街，依然呢喃不止，已与世界浑然一体。

And some tipsy person will get on the piano, bash out a tune.

而有些醉的人会弹起钢琴，弹奏出一首曲子。

I hesitate, then take a step out onto the parapet, my arms lifted out to the side, a slightly drunken tightrope walker.

我犹豫了一下， 然后迈出一步， 走到栏杆上，我的双臂向一侧举起， 就像一个醉的走钢丝的人。

The buzzed participants also did worse on a test of executive control, which is a set of abilities you use when you're doing some effortful thinking, like working memory and response inhibition.

醉的参与者进行执行控制能力测试时，表现得也更糟糕，执行控制能力，是在努力思考时用到的一组能力，比如工作记忆和反应抑制。
