无法忍受某种声音的“恐音症”

金属划过玻璃的声音，汽车紧急刹车的声音，隔壁装修的电钻声......生活中总有一些声音让我们无法忍受，一听到就会做出一些过激反应。可能从某种程度上说，我们都患有“恐音症”。

Do nails on a chalkboard make you cringe? Imagine if a sound could make you panic or fly into a rage.
指甲划过黑板的声音是否让你难以忍受？或许有种声音会让你惊恐或者勃然大怒。

This is the case with misophonia -- a strong dislike or hatred of specific sounds.
这种情况就叫“恐音症”，也就是对于某种特定声音强烈的憎恶感。

Misophonia, also known as selective sound sensitivity syndrome, starts with a trigger. It could be an oral sound like whistle, or an annoying sound made by people like scratching a chalkboard with nails.
恐音症，也叫选择性声音敏感综合征，其实都是有个触发点的。这个触发点可能是某种口头发出的声音，比如，口哨声；也可能是人们制造出来的某种恼人的声音，比如用指甲划过黑板的声音。

When a person with misophonia is exposed to a sound in their trigger set, it results in an immediate negative emotional response. This response can range from moderate discomfort to acute annoyance or go all the way up to full-fledged rage and panic. While experiencing a trigger event, a person may become agitated, defensive or offensive, distance themselves from the trigger or possibly act out and express anger or rage at the source of the offending sound.
当患有恐音症的人听到那种让他们憎恶的声音时，会立即出现负面的情绪反应。这种负面情绪可能是一般的不适感，也可能是极度的焦躁，或者勃然大怒、极度恐慌。遇到触发他们恐音症的声音时，这些人可能会对这个声音来源表现出愤怒、防范、攻击或者疏远的举动。
