It is not easy being a vampire, and even harder to come out of the coffin to a physician or therapist for fear they will misinterpret the habit of ingesting the blood of willing donors or succumb to stereotyping, a study finds. 研究发现，吸血鬼不好当，从棺材里跑出来面对内科医师和心理治疗师更不易，吸食血仆的血或许会被误解、或许还要臣服于人们对吸血鬼的刻板印象。 Research led by D.J. Williams, director of social work atIdaho State University, indicated that people who identify themselves as “real” vampires – that is, needing others’ blood to gain energy – would not disclose their practices to those in the helping professions and risk reactions like ridicule, disgust and possible diagnosis of a mental illness. 威廉博士是爱达荷州立大学社会活动的总监，他带领研究指出，那些自认是“真正”吸血鬼身份的人，需要他人鲜血来获取能量，他们是不愿意将其行事透露给服务行业人士的，不愿冒风险去面对人们讥讽、嫌恶的反应，也不愿被诊断为精神有疾病。 The paper, published in the latest issue of Critical Social Work, a peer-reviewed journal based in Canada, found that authentic vampires as opposed to “lifestyle” vampires – black-clad figures with phony fangs – might be stereotyped by clinicians whose fields discourage biases. 这篇论文发表在最新一期加拿大同行审评的学术期刊《社会工作批评》上，文章称真正的血族与黑衣獠牙的“生活潮流”派吸血鬼不同，因循守旧的临床医生或许对他们还抱有成见。 |
