听到别人咀嚼食物、啃东西、狂点滑鼠、吹口哨、敲手指、敲键盘、甚至喝水的声音等等，有时并不是很大声，但你听了就是会超怒。拥有这症状可能不是因为你情绪管控欠佳，而是 “恐音症”。

Misophonia, literally "hatred of sound," was proposed in 2000 as a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. It is also called "select sound sensitivity syndrome" and "sound-rage."
“恐音症”照字面解释就是“憎恨声音”，最初于2000年被提出，指的是在听到某些声音时，一些人会产生负面情绪、想法、和身体反应，也称为“选择性声音敏感综合征”或者“声怒”。

Why some people become enraged by sounds such as eating or breathing has been explained by brain scan studies.
为什么有些人听到进餐甚至呼吸的声音就会被惹怒？脑部扫描研究解释了这一点。

The condition, misophonia, is far more than simply disliking noises such as nails being scraped down a blackboard.
“恐音症”远不止是简单的讨厌某些声音，例如指甲划过黑板。

"I feel there's a threat and get the urge to lash out - it's the fight or flight response," says Olana Tansley-Hancock, 29, from Kent.
29岁的奥拉娜来自肯特郡，她说：“我感到有威胁，想要猛击，这是或战或逃的反应。”

UK scientists have shown some people's brains become hardwired to produce an "excessive" emotional response.
根据英国科学家的研究，一些人的大脑在听到某些声音时会产生“过多的”情绪反应。
