> Certain types of music can help you feel less pain, new study says
研究：聽(tīng)傷感音樂(lè)可以減輕疼痛

There is no doubt that music can soothe the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary balm for physical pain.
毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，音樂(lè)可以安撫某些人的靈魂，但事實(shí)證明，音樂(lè)也可以暫時(shí)緩解身體的疼痛。

Listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.
發(fā)表在《疼痛研究前沿》期刊上的一項(xiàng)新研究稱(chēng)，聽(tīng)喜愛(ài)的音樂(lè)能夠降低人們的疼痛感。

And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，緩解疼痛最有效的是講述苦樂(lè)參半的感性經(jīng)歷的悲傷歌曲。

The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs, and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long.
這項(xiàng)小型研究邀請(qǐng)了63名年輕成人各選兩首自己最喜愛(ài)的歌曲，唯一的要求是歌曲必須至少長(zhǎng)達(dá)3分鐘20秒。

One selection represented their favorite music of all time, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island.
其中一首歌是他們一直以來(lái)最?lèi)?ài)聽(tīng)的歌曲，另一首歌是他們會(huì)帶到荒島上聽(tīng)的歌曲。

The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants.
研究人員還讓這些年輕人從7首歌中挑出一首歌曲，這7首歌是研究團(tuán)隊(duì)認(rèn)為能讓人放松而且參與者不熟悉的歌曲。

When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence.
在給自己的體驗(yàn)評(píng)級(jí)時(shí)，相比那些聽(tīng)自己不熟悉的舒緩歌曲或沒(méi)有聽(tīng)歌的人，聽(tīng)自己喜愛(ài)的歌曲的人報(bào)告的痛感更低。

The scrambled songs did not reduce pain either, which the authors suggested was evidence of music being more than a distraction from an unpleasant experience.
聽(tīng)混合歌曲也不能降低痛感，研究作者指出，這一證據(jù)說(shuō)明音樂(lè)起到的作用不僅僅是分散人們對(duì)不愉快體驗(yàn)的注意力。

After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
研究人員通過(guò)訪談了解參與者帶來(lái)的歌曲以及他們的痛感評(píng)級(jí)后發(fā)現(xiàn)，聽(tīng)苦樂(lè)參半、打動(dòng)人心的歌曲的參與者比那些聽(tīng)舒緩或歡快歌曲的人感受到的疼痛更少。
