顏色有氣味嗎?
Do Colors Have Smells?
顏色有氣味嗎?
Have you ever heard the color blue? Or tasted the musicAl note F-sharp? For Most people, in both cases the answer is no. But for some people blue has a particular sound or shape, and F sharp has a slightly sour taste. This unusual blending of the senses is called synesthesia, a rare neurological phenomenon occurring in roughly 1 in 100,000 people.
你曾聽到過藍色麼?你曾經嚐到過音符F調麼?對於大多數人來說，答案是否定的。但是，對於某些特定人羣來說，藍色確實有一種特定的聲音或形狀，F調也確實有一種酸酸的味道。這種不尋常的感官混淆被稱爲“共同感覺”，一種鮮有的神經學現象，通常十萬分之一的人有這種症狀。
Synesthesia
“共同感覺”
People with this condition do not merely associate sound with color or taste with sound, or imagine hearing a sound when they see a certain color. Rather, when a person with synesthesia encounters a particular sensory stimulus, say seeing the color red, she will hear a sound even when there is no outside source producing the sound.
有這種症狀的人不僅僅會將聲音與顏色聯繫、味覺與聲音聯繫，也可能會在看到某種特定顏色時設想聽到了某種聲音。更確切地說，一個有“共同感覺”的人如果受到了某種特殊的感官刺激，比如看到了紅色，哪怕外界並未有發音源，她也依然會聽到某種聲音。
In a similar manner, a particular sound may cause someone with synesthesia to see certain shapes or certain colors, even when there is no object in that person’s line of sight. The same goes for taste and smell.
類似情況下，某種特定的聲音也會引發擁有“共同感覺”的人能看到某種形狀或特定的顏色，哪怕在他的視覺範圍內並未有這樣的物體出現。對於味覺和嗅覺，這種情況也同樣存在。
Causes
原因
Scientists know very little about what causes synesthesia. While it appears to be hereditary, the actual neurological processes that account for the phenomenon remain a mystery. Although most scientists agree that the hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for memory, plays a role, exactly how the hippocampus might cause synesthesia is not clear.
科學家們對於爲何會引發“共同感覺”知之甚少。雖然看起來這是一種遺傳疾病，但事實上，對於這種現象的神經發生過程如何解釋依然成謎。儘管很多科學家們認爲“海馬體”-大腦中用於控制記憶的一片區域導致此種現象出現，但究竟它是如何影響並引發“共同感覺”的症狀依然不得而知。
Otherwise, scientific knowledge about synesthesia is limited to several interesting observations. For example, synesthetic perceptions remain consistent over time. In other words, if a person with synesthesia sees blue and green flashes when he hears a C-sharp, he will always see those same colors upon hearing that note.
另外，目前對於“共同感覺”的科學認識也僅僅是基於幾種有趣的現象觀察。比如，這種連覺的感知並不會隨着時間過去而消失。換句話說，如果當一個人在聽到C大調時看到藍色與綠色閃過，那麼將來一旦他聽到同樣的聲音，眼前就會浮現出藍色和綠色。
什麼是水泡?
What Are Blisters?
什麼是水泡
Remember that hit song from the 80’s that featured the chorus: “And I would walk five hundred miles / and I would walk five hundred more / Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles / to fall down at your door”? What sounds romantic in pop song fantasy would be painful in reality.
還記得80年代那首紅極一時歌曲嗎?它的合聲部分極有特色：我願步行500裏/我願再行500裏/成爲行完千里路程，倒在你門前的男人(只爲見你一面)。流行歌曲裏詮釋的歌詞傳達給我們的感覺非常浪漫美好，但實際情況則是痛苦不堪。
Walk Not So More
不要走那麼遠的路
Anyone who walks a thousand miles would indeed fall down, thanks to the large blisters that would most likely form on the heels and soles of weary feet.
因爲經過一千里的跋涉，疲憊的腳底和腳跟都極有可能會長出大水泡，所以任何人都會跌倒。
Whether from playing too much basketball or jogging in ill-fitting sneakers, we’ve all had blisters. But what are blisters, and how do they form?
打籃球的時間太長或是穿着不合腳的運動鞋慢跑都會產生水泡。但什麼是水泡?它們是怎樣形成的呢?
All About Blisters
關於水泡
Blisters come in all shapes and sizes, and some are more serious than others. The typical, jogging-related blister is a round patch of elevated skin containing a clear fluid. Blistering occurs when an upper layer of skin rubs against the underlying layer.
水泡形狀大小不一，有些水泡的症狀比其它水泡要嚴重。由於慢跑引起的典型水泡呈圓形，一小塊皮膚會凸起並且裏面含有透明液體。當表皮與皮下層相互摩擦時，就會產生水泡。
As a space opens between the skin layers, chemicals cause the blood vessels in the area to leak and allow a clear fluid to seep out and fill the space between layers of skin. This fluid is a sort of clear plasma, or blood without the red blood cells.
當皮層之間形成隔離空間以後，化學物質造成此區域血管滲透，從而會有透明液體滲出，填充在皮層之間的部位。這種液體是一種透明的血漿，或者可以說是沒有紅細胞的血液。
Blisters usually occur in the uppermost layers of skin, and are normally harmless. Because the blood vessels are only made more porous but not actually damaged, red blood cells do not fill the blister. But if a blister does fill with red blood, it means the damage is more serious, and should be carefully treated.
水泡通常出現在皮膚表層，對人體無害。血管僅多了一些空隙而已，並沒有實際遭到破壞，紅細胞也不會出現在水泡裏面。如果水泡裏面出現紅色血液，這意味着血管損傷比較嚴重，需慎重進行處理。
