Swearing is good for you. Well, kind of. A growing body of research suggests that, under the right circumstances, simply saying taboo words out loud seems to make people feel less pain – but not just any swear words will suffice, new findings reveal. 说脏话对你有好处。嗯，是有一点好处。新的研究结果显示，越来越多的研究表明，在适当情况下，仅仅是大声说脏话就能减轻人们的痛苦，但不是仅仅说脏话就够了。 Exactly how and why the act of swearing manages to make things seem less painful remains largely hypothetical, and it's worth noting that much of the hypothesising to date in this area has been led by a single researcher, British psychologist Richard Stephens from Keele University. 说脏话究竟是如何以及为什么能减轻痛苦基本上还都是假设，值得注意的是截至目前这方面的很多假设都是一个研究人员做出的，就是英国基尔大学的心理学家Richard Stephens。 Nonetheless, what Stephens has uncovered is certainly very interesting. A little over a decade ago, he and his team found that if people immersed their hand in ice water, the simple act of swearing during the experiment enabled participants to perceive decreased pain and tolerate increased pain. 尽管如此，Stephens的发现真的很有趣。十多年前，他和他的团队发现如果人们把手浸在冰水里，在实验期间仅仅是说脏话就能使参与者感受到更少的痛苦，并承受更大的痛苦。 |
