Phobias are strange things, turning seemingly innocuous objects and situations into catalysts of fear. The following 19 phobias include some that are common knowledge, whereas others are a little more… unorthodox. Can you get through the list unfazed, or is there something in there that gives you the chills? 恐惧症很奇怪，平白无故的事物或情景都可能引发恐惧。下面19种恐惧症，有些很常见，而有些则比较特例。赶快看看你是能淡定地看完这个恐惧症清单，还是有啥是会让你不寒而栗的？ 1. Acrophobia – fear of heights 恐高症——害怕高处 Probably the most ‘normal’ of all phobias. How high you have to go to start feeling it differs from person to person, but many will have at one time or another experienced a flipping stomach and spinning head when looking over the edge of a steep precipice. It’s completely natural to feel a fear response when in a situation that’s obviously dangerous, and some experts have even suggested that it’s those who don’t feel the fear of heights that have the problem. 恐高症可能是所有恐惧症种最常见的一种。每个人的恐惧高度不尽相同，但站在陡峭的悬崖边缘时，我相信大多数人都会有恶心、晕眩的经历。其实在危险环境中，人很容易感到害怕。甚至有专家认为，不恐高的人才有问题。 However, some sufferers can’t escape the fear of falling even when the high place is completely safe, like being in the enclosed room at the top of Tokyo Tower, while others find themselves dizzy at a height of only a couple of meters. |
