阅读强迫症:你有吗?

2016-03-02 双语讯飞
Most people can’t look at this sentence without being overwhelmed(被征服) by the urge to read it.

许多人看到这句话便难以自制地将它读了出来。
That’s according to psychologist and dyslexia(读写困难) specialist Lidia Stanton who claims we have all been brainwashed(洗脑) into automatically reading sentences.
心理学家和诵读困难症专家莉迪亚·斯坦顿称,我们其实都被洗脑了,见到文字就会自动读出来。
This, she says, stems from(源于) the stories we learned to read when we were young – a learning process Stanton claims is “irreversible”.
斯坦顿表示这一切源于我们小时候读的故事书,且这一过程是“不可逆的”。
“If I put a word or two in front of your eyes, you’ll feel compelled to read it - your brain does it for you automatically(自动地) before you decide whether to read or not.”

“如果眼前出现了一两个单词,你认为自己必须要读上一读--在你决定是读还是不读前,大脑其实已经自动做出了决定。”
To illustrate this point, Stanton posted the following words: "Lucy is going to the park and she is taking the dog for a walk."
斯坦顿给出了下面这句话来解释这一现象"Lucy is going to the park and she is taking the dog for a walk."
Try to force yourself not to read the sentence while looking at it.
“试着逼自己不要把这句话读出来。”
Investigate(研究) the visual look of the words without reading them, Stanton says.
“研究单词的视觉形象而不读出它们。”
Assuming you are an English speaker, it is very difficult to look at the text without reading the words.
假设你讲英语,那么只看着这些词却不能读出来是件非常困难的事。

While most people take reading for granted, many dyslexics(诵读困难者) never experience this type of ’brainwashing’ because their brains resist fluent reading.
许多人认为阅读是理所当然的,诵读困难症患者却从未经历过“洗脑”的过程--他们干脆无法流畅地完成阅读。
Depending on the severity of dyslexia, in the second instance, many dyslexics would be drawn to the shape of words, rather than their names or meanings.
由于病症的影响,诵读困难症患者在看第二张图时只会关注每个单词的形状,而不是单词的意思。
It’s possible this sensitivity(敏感性) to word shapes and letter patterns is linked to the widely discussed creativity and gift of dyslexia - seeing something else when most people are "only" capable of getting the meaning from words and rarely notice words' physical features.
许多诵读困难症患者因祸得福,变得更具创造性,更具天赋--因为大多数人只关注单词的意思,却察觉不到单词的样子。
