英语新闻听写 你知道骂脏话可以改善人的运动表现吗

Dr. Richard Stephens has spent a lot of time researching profanity. In past research he has found that swearing increases pain tolerance¹ since it apparently² triggers the body's "fight or flight" response which can then lead to a type of "stress-induced analgesia³."

理查德·斯蒂芬斯博士花费了大量时间来研究脏话。他在过去的研究中发现咒骂能够增加疼痛忍耐度，因为它激发了身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应，能让人“缺失压力感应”。

"Fight or flight" response also releases adrenaline which got Dr. Stephens thinking about the connection between swearing and athletic⁴ performance. Along with a colleage, Dr. Stephens had volunteers participate in a study in which they performed the Wingate endurance test twice.

“战斗或逃跑”反应还能释放肾上腺素，因此斯蒂芬斯博士在考虑咒骂与运动表现之间是否有关系。他和另一位同事一起让志愿者参加了两次温盖特无氧耐力测试。

One time swearing and the other time using a neutral word. When volunteers swore, peak power rose by an average of 4.6 percent. Stephens hypothesizes that swearing improves athletic performance by "letting go."

在两次测试中，志愿者分别采用了咒骂词汇和中性词汇。当他们咒骂时，最高能量平均提升了4.6%。斯蒂芬斯假定咒骂可以通过“释放”来改善运动表现。
