外刊精选|新研究:爱发脾气的人,更容易便秘?
随着医学的进步和人们对心理健康问题的关注,越来越多的研究成果揭示了心理健康对身体健康的重要影响。本月刊登在美国权威医学期刊上的一项最新研究表明,暴躁易怒、爱发脾气,或是长时间生闷气都可能对健康产生极大伤害。愤怒究竟会对我们的身体产生哪些伤害?有什么方法可以帮我们化解愤怒、心平气和?
Anger Does a Lot More Damage to Your Body Than You Realize
Getting angry doesn't just hurt our mental health, it's also damaging to our hearts, brains and gastrointestinal systems, according to doctors and recent research. Of course, it's a normal emotion that everyone feels—but getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems.
One recent study looked at anger's effects on the heart. It found that anger can raise the risk of heart attacks because it impairs the functioning of blood vessels.
When someone becomes angry, the body's sympathetic nervous system—or "fight or flight" system—is also activated. This slows down movement in the GI tract, which can lead to problems like constipation.
Anger can trigger the body to release stress hormones. High levels of stress hormones can affect decision-making, attention and executive function.
Doctors recommend anger-management strategies. Hypnosis, meditation and mindfulness can help. So too can changing the way you respond to anger.
Try to notice how you feel and slow down your response, and then learn to express it. You also want to make sure you're not suppressing the feeling, as that can backfire and exacerbate the emotion.
Instead of yelling at a family member when you're angry, say, "I am angry because X, Y and Z, and therefore I don't feel like eating with you or I need a hug or support."

ChatGPT and other language- based large language mobiles (LLMs) exhibit human- level performance on many natural- language tasks in English. The same is true of other widely used tongues. But Paiute is considered a “no- resource language”, meaning there are no publicly available Paiute sentences translated into English on which to train a machine learning model.
In a new paper, “LLM- Assisted Rule- Based Machine Translation for Low/ No- Resource Languages”, Colem an and his professor Krishnamachari propose a machine translation approach called LLM-RBMT (Rule- Based Machine Translation) to help people learn no- resource languages. Their approach consists of a more “old school” rule- based translator tools and a more advanced, natural language- based large language model.
In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Paiute. Instead, it helps to guide the rule- based translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages. The translation tool simplifies complex sentences and uses placeholders (占位符) for unknown words. While this process loses some meaning, it still produces understandable and grammatically correct translations.
This method, said Coleman, mirrors how language learners naturally speak by mixing known and unknown words, making it a practical tool for real- world use and the tool is smart enough to be able to do a lot of the translation on its own.
Colem an also built some digital tools related to language revitalization (复兴), named Kubishi or “brain” in Paiute, including an online dictionary, and a sentence- builder and a translation system enabled by this research.
Overall, the paper found that LLM’s remarkable general- purpose language skills make them a promising tool in helping revitalize critically endangered languages like Paiute.
For his part, Colem an credits his tribe’s (部落) members, past and present, for paving the path. “A lot of people in my tribe have been working for a long time on different language revitalization efforts, including classes, dictionaries and recordings,” said Coleman. “So though I am excited, I know it is one piece of a much larger puzzle.”
Indeed, the paper points to many directions for future work, including adding more complex sentence structures to test the limits of the method outlined in his paper.
13.What can we learn about LLM-RBMT?
A.It is a traditional way to learn languages. B.It can translate Paiute into any other language.
C.It is useful for learners of no- resource languages. D.It can simplify the process of learning English.
14.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A.The principle of the LLM. B.The advantages of the LLM.
C.The grammar and vocabulary of Paiute. D.The efficiency of the translation tool.
15.What contribution did Coleman make?
A.He popularized Paiute all over the world. B.He helped to save endangered languages.
C.He recorded and preserved his tribe’s history. D.He invented a smart language learning machine.
16.What can we infer about Coleman from paragraph 7?
A.His tribe gave birth to many scientists.
B.He was very grateful to his tribe’s members.
C.He would publicize something more puzzling.
D.His tribe’s members got involved in his work directly.

愤怒对身体造成的伤害,远远超出你的想象
根据医生们的最新研究,生气不仅会伤害我们的心理健康,还会伤害我们的心脏、大脑和消化系统。愤怒固然是每个人都会有的正常情绪,但是生气的频率过高或时间过长都会引发问题。
最近的一项研究探究了愤怒对心脏的影响。研究发现,愤怒会增加心脏病发作的风险,因为它会损害血管的功能。
当一个人生气时,身体的交感神经系统(即“战斗还是逃跑”系统)也会被激活。这会减缓胃肠道的蠕动,从而导致便秘等问题。
愤怒会引发身体释放压力荷尔蒙(即应激激素)。高水平的压力荷尔蒙会影响决策、注意力和执行功能。
医生推荐使用愤怒管理策略。催眠、冥想和正念都有助于(缓解愤怒),改变你对愤怒的应对方式也是一种办法。
试着体察自己的感受,放慢应对感受的速度,然后学着表达感受。与此同时,你还要确保自己没有压抑这种感受,因为这可能会适得其反,使情绪恶化。
当你生气时,可以选择不对家人大吼大叫,而是这样说:“我生气是因为X、Y、Z,所以我不太想和你一起吃饭。我需要一个拥抱,我需要支持。”
