說臟話對你有好處的5個理由
說臟話對你有好處的5個理由
There's something about a good curse word that has a healing effect. Whether it's a G-rated oath or a full-scale f-bomb, profanity helps in some situations, and science backs that up. Researchers say there are plenty of ways that cursing is good for your physical and emotional health.
一個好的詛咒詞有治療效果。不管是g級臟話還是f級臟話，臟話在某些情況下是有用的，科學(xué)也支持這一點(diǎn)。研究人員表示，說臟話在很多方面對你的身心健康都有好處。
There are several types of expletives to choose from. In his book "The Stuff of Thought," Steven Pinker explores the different types of swearing, from the abusive — "You ass!" — to the cathartic — "Sh*t, that coffee is hot!" What type you choose may depend on whether you're stressed or in pain or just trying to make your friends laugh.
有幾種咒罵語可供選擇。Steven Pinker在他的書《思想的東西》中探討了不同類型的罵人，從罵人開始——“你這個混蛋!”-為了發(fā)泄- "該死，那杯咖啡太燙了!"你選擇什么類型可能取決于你是否有壓力或在痛苦或只是想讓你的朋友笑。

So the next time you're ready to let loose, do so with confidence. Here are some of the potential benefits:
所以下次你準(zhǔn)備放松的時候，一定要自信。以下是一些潛在的好處:
1. It eases pain. In a chilly research study published in the journal NeuroReport, college students plunged their hands in cold water to see how long they could withstand the freezing temps. Those who uttered the expletive of their choice reported less pain and lasted about 40 seconds longer than those who were forced to chant a neutral word. After leading the study, researcher Richard Stephens of Keele University in England said, "I would advise people, if they hurt themselves, to swear."
它緩解疼痛。在發(fā)表在《神經(jīng)報告》雜志上的一項(xiàng)研究中，大學(xué)生們把手浸入冷水中，看看自己能經(jīng)受住寒冷的溫度多久。那些說出自己選擇的咒罵語的人比那些被迫說中性詞的人感到的疼痛更少，持續(xù)的時間要長40秒左右。在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了這項(xiàng)研究之后，英國基爾大學(xué)的研究員理查德·斯蒂芬斯說:“我建議人們，如果他們傷害了自己，就發(fā)泄出來。”
2. It makes your heart race. Swearing can activate your fight or flight response, firing up your aggressive tendencies — hopefully in a good way. Maybe that's why coaches and drill sergeants tend to fire up their charges with obscenity-laced "pep talks."
它讓你心跳加速。說臟話可以激活你的戰(zhàn)斗或逃跑反應(yīng)，激發(fā)你的攻擊傾向——希望是以一種好的方式。也許這就是為什么教練和教官傾向于用猥褻的“鼓舞士氣的話”來刺激他們。

3. It gives you more from your workout. Studies show that cursing can increase performance and power linked with exercise. In one study, people who cursed while using stationary bikes had more power and strength than people who used "neutral" words.
它讓你從鍛煉中得到更多。研究表明，咒罵可以提高運(yùn)動表現(xiàn)、增加力量。在一項(xiàng)研究中，使用固定的話罵人的人比使用“中性”詞匯的人更有能量和力氣。
4.It makes you feel in control. "By swearing we show, if only to ourselves, that we are not passive victims but empowered to react and fight back," writes English psychiatrist Neel Burton. This can boost confidence and self-esteem.
它讓你感覺一切盡在掌握。英國精神病學(xué)家尼爾•伯頓寫道:“通過發(fā)誓，我們向自己表明，我們不是被動的受害者，而是有權(quán)做出反應(yīng)和反擊。”這可以增強(qiáng)自信和自尊。

5.It can make people laugh. We often use off-color humor to crack up our friends. As long as nobody's offended in the process, profanity can have great entertainment value.
它可以使人發(fā)笑。我們經(jīng)常用低俗的幽默來逗樂我們的朋友。只要在這個過程中沒有人被冒犯，褻瀆就有很大的娛樂價值。
