说脏话对你有好处的5个理由
There's something about a good curse word that has a healing effect. Whether it's a G-rated oath or a full-scale f-bomb, profanity helps in some situations, and science backs that up. Researchers say there are plenty of ways that cursing is good for your physical and emotional health.
一个好的诅咒词有治疗效果。不管是g级脏话还是f级脏话，脏话在某些情况下是有用的，科学也支持这一点。研究人员表示，说脏话在很多方面对你的身心健康都有好处。
There are several types of expletives to choose from. In his book "The Stuff of Thought," Steven Pinker explores the different types of swearing, from the abusive — "You ass!" — to the cathartic — "Sh*t, that coffee is hot!" What type you choose may depend on whether you're stressed or in pain or just trying to make your friends laugh.
有几种咒骂语可供选择。Steven Pinker在他的书《思想的东西》中探讨了不同类型的骂人，从骂人开始——“你这个混蛋!”-为了发泄- "该死，那杯咖啡太烫了!"你选择什么类型可能取决于你是否有压力或在痛苦或只是想让你的朋友笑。

So the next time you're ready to let loose, do so with confidence. Here are some of the potential benefits:
所以下次你准备放松的时候，一定要自信。以下是一些潜在的好处:
1. It eases pain. In a chilly research study published in the journal NeuroReport, college students plunged their hands in cold water to see how long they could withstand the freezing temps. Those who uttered the expletive of their choice reported less pain and lasted about 40 seconds longer than those who were forced to chant a neutral word. After leading the study, researcher Richard Stephens of Keele University in England said, "I would advise people, if they hurt themselves, to swear."
它缓解疼痛。在发表在《神经报告》杂志上的一项研究中，大学生们把手浸入冷水中，看看自己能经受住寒冷的温度多久。那些说出自己选择的咒骂语的人比那些被迫说中性词的人感到的疼痛更少，持续的时间要长40秒左右。在领导了这项研究之后，英国基尔大学的研究员理查德·斯蒂芬斯说:“我建议人们，如果他们伤害了自己，就发泄出来。”
2. It makes your heart race. Swearing can activate your fight or flight response, firing up your aggressive tendencies — hopefully in a good way. Maybe that's why coaches and drill sergeants tend to fire up their charges with obscenity-laced "pep talks."
它让你心跳加速。说脏话可以激活你的战斗或逃跑反应，激发你的攻击倾向——希望是以一种好的方式。也许这就是为什么教练和教官倾向于用猥亵的“鼓舞士气的话”来刺激他们。

3. It gives you more from your workout. Studies show that cursing can increase performance and power linked with exercise. In one study, people who cursed while using stationary bikes had more power and strength than people who used "neutral" words.
它让你从锻炼中得到更多。研究表明，咒骂可以提高运动表现、增加力量。在一项研究中，使用固定的话骂人的人比使用“中性”词汇的人更有能量和力气。
4.It makes you feel in control. "By swearing we show, if only to ourselves, that we are not passive victims but empowered to react and fight back," writes English psychiatrist Neel Burton. This can boost confidence and self-esteem.
它让你感觉一切尽在掌握。英国精神病学家尼尔•伯顿写道:“通过发誓，我们向自己表明，我们不是被动的受害者，而是有权做出反应和反击。”这可以增强自信和自尊。

5.It can make people laugh. We often use off-color humor to crack up our friends. As long as nobody's offended in the process, profanity can have great entertainment value.
它可以使人发笑。我们经常用低俗的幽默来逗乐我们的朋友。只要在这个过程中没有人被冒犯，亵渎就有很大的娱乐价值。
