是的，有这样一种虐待，你通常发现不了。它在心理学上有个术语，叫 gaslighting，直译过来是“用煤气灯照你”。 Gaslighting is a harmful form of psychological abuse in which a person or entity attempts to gain power over others by purposely making them question their own recollection of events, perception of reality, and ultimately their sanity. “汽灯”是一种能造成伤害的心理施虐方式，它指的是：通过故意让受害者怀疑自己对事件的记忆、怀疑自己对现实的感知、并最终让他们怀疑自己的理智，从而达到控制他们的目的。 As used in clinical research, literature, and political commentary, the term comes from the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play “Gas Light,” and its film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944, in which a murderous husband slowly drives his wife insane by progressively dimming their home’s gas-powered lights without her knowledge. When his wife complains, he convincingly tells her that the light has not changed. Gaslight 这个词现在已经常常出现在临床研究、文学以及政治评论里了，而它最早是出现剧作家帕特里克·汉密尔顿在1938年所创的戏剧《煤气灯下》，这部戏剧后来分别在1940年和1944年被改编成电影。在剧中，心狠手辣的丈夫瞒着妻子逐渐调暗家里的煤气灯，以此将她慢慢逼疯。当妻子抱怨家里暗的时候，他总是很笃定地告诉她家里的亮度并没有变。 |
