读莎士比亚可了解病人的心理状态

　　Doctors should brush up on their Shakespeare to help improve their understanding of how the mind can affect the body, according to an unusual study.

　　作为英国文艺复兴时期伟大的剧作家、诗人，欧洲文艺复兴时期人文主义文学的集大成者，莎士比亚倘若仍在世也未曾能预料到自己的作品会对解决病人心理问题起到独特作用。据悉，一项独特的研究表明：心理医生应当重温他们所读过得莎士比亚的所有书籍，这对帮助他们更好地了解人的思想是如何影响其身体的。

　　Dr Kenneth Heaton said many doctors don't realise how many physical symptoms can be caused solely by psychological problems.

　　肯尼思.希顿博士曾经说过，许多医生从未认识到有多少身体的症状仅仅是由心理问题而引发的。

　　But the Bard's works help illustrate this link because he had such an 'exceptional awareness of bodily sensations'.

　　而巴德的作品将有助于阐释人的心理与身体的这种关系，这也是因为他对身体有这种独特的感知力。

　　The former gastroenterologist and expert on 16th-century literature looked for descriptions of sensory ailments in all 42 of Shakespeare's major works.

　　约瑟夫（胃肠病学家、十六世纪文学专家），在莎士比亚的42部主要作品中都找到了有关感知性不适的描述。

　　He found dozens of examples when characters experienced psychosomatic symptoms - which was far more than in the writings of his contemporaries.

　　他发现很多有关病人所表现的症状受其精神影响的例子，这远比莎士比亚作品中的描述要多得多。

　　For instance Hamlet is shown suffering from fatigue as a result of grief, crying out: 'How weary, stale, flat, and uNPRofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!'

　　例如,哈姆雷特因过于悲伤而常在疲惫中煎熬，他呼喊道：“我生活的世界时多么的萎靡、无趣、沉闷、无用啊！”
