>Museums lengthen life
逛博物美術(shù)館延年益壽

A trip to the theater, museum or art gallery could help you live longer. And the more often you get that culture fix the better, a new study suggests.
最新研究表明，去劇院、博物館或美術(shù)館看劇或游覽能延年益壽，而且去得越多，效果越好。

Researchers from University College London (UCL) found that people who engaged in the arts more frequently - every few months or more - had a 31% lower risk of dying early when compared to those who didn't.
倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，與不經(jīng)常參加藝術(shù)活動(dòng)的人相比，經(jīng)常參加藝術(shù)活動(dòng)的人（每隔幾個(gè)月或更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間去一次）早逝的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低了31%。

Even going to the theater or museum once or twice a year was linked with a 14% lower risk.
即使每年去一兩次劇院或博物館，早逝風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也能降低14%。

"While other health behaviors like smoking, alcohol and exercise are undoubtedly bigger predictors of mortality, these leisure and pleasure activities that people don't think of as a health related activity do support good health and longevity," said Daisy Fancourt, an associate professor at UCL's Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health.
倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院行為科學(xué)和健康研究部門(mén)的副教授黛西·范克特說(shuō)："雖然其他健康行為如吸煙、飲酒和運(yùn)動(dòng)無(wú)疑更能預(yù)測(cè)死亡率，但這些人們認(rèn)為與健康無(wú)關(guān)的休閑娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)也有利于健康長(zhǎng)壽"。

Fancourt said that engaging with the arts can act as a buffer against stress and build creativity that allows people to adapt to changing circumstances. 
范克特說(shuō)，參加藝術(shù)活動(dòng)可以緩解壓力，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力，讓人們適應(yīng)不斷變化的環(huán)境。

It also helps people build social capital - accessing emotional support and information that helps people age more successfully.
它還幫助人們建立社會(huì)資本——獲得情感支持，以及更加從容應(yīng)對(duì)老齡的信息。

>Decoding sleep paralysis
科學(xué)揭秘'鬼壓床'的真相

You jerk awake in the middle of the night in confusion.
半夜里你突然莫名其妙地驚醒。

Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room?
房間的角落似乎有個(gè)人影。

Your brain begs your limbs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases.
你想要?jiǎng)觿?dòng)四肢，但卻動(dòng)彈不得。你越來(lái)越焦慮。

Your eyes scan the room. Just as you're about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
你的眼睛掃視著房間。就在你的恐慌情緒即將達(dá)到頂峰時(shí)，你坐起來(lái)了，那個(gè)人影也消失了。

You've just experienced sleep paralysis, one of many "parasomnias," which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep.
你剛剛經(jīng)歷了睡眠癱瘓，它是眾多睡眠異常的一種。專家用睡眠異常來(lái)指代睡覺(jué)時(shí)發(fā)生的各種怪異事情。

Sleep paralysis happens when the brain incapacitates the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (or, rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking.
大腦為了阻止身體對(duì)異相睡眠(或快速眼動(dòng)睡眠)期的生動(dòng)夢(mèng)境做出回應(yīng)而使身體失去活動(dòng)能力時(shí)，就會(huì)發(fā)生睡眠癱瘓，常常伴隨著一種無(wú)法行動(dòng)的感覺(jué)和一種窒息感。

While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations, seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon.
研究這一現(xiàn)象的科研人員巴拉德·賈拉爾說(shuō)，并非每個(gè)人都在睡眠癱瘓時(shí)都會(huì)出現(xiàn)幻象，最常見(jiàn)的幻象是看到房間內(nèi)有人或有鬼。

Hallucinations vary by culture - the Chinese call it "guiyachuang" or ghost pressure because they believe a ghost sits on people's chests.
這種幻覺(jué)因文化而異——中國(guó)人稱之為"鬼壓床"，因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈殴砉謺?huì)坐在人們的胸膛上。

In Newfoundland, it is the "old hag" because people see a witch and in Egypt people see Jinn, which are known to hunt and sometimes kill their victims.
在紐芬蘭，人們稱之為"老巫婆"，因?yàn)槿藗兂霈F(xiàn)的幻覺(jué)里有一個(gè)巫婆。在埃及，人們看到的是精靈，精靈以狩獵聞名，有時(shí)會(huì)殺死他們的獵物。
