然而这些旅行并没能阻止他患上“幽居病”。
幽居病(cabin fever)又名舱热症,是一种由长时间呆在封闭空间内产生的不安与易怒状态。原意来自一帮被孤立或被关在一起的人产生的claustrophobic(幽闭恐怖症)反应。
来看看国外网站是如何解释的:
Cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area.
幽居病是由于身处受限区域而产生的坐立不安。
Cabin fever refers to the extreme irritability and restlessness from living in isolation or a confined indoor area for a prolonged time.
幽居病指的是长期居住在较为封闭或受限的室内,而导致极度易怒和不安。
It is an unhappy and impatient feeling that comes from being indoors for too long.
幽居病是由于长期呆在室内,使人感到不快乐,没耐心。
幽居病不是一种生理疾病,它更多地表示一种心理状态,属于心理学范畴。这种状态在冬季较为常见。
例如:
She suffered from cabin fever during the long winter.
在漫长的冬季,她患上了幽居病。
