阳光是我们生活的引导者,很多人喜欢冬天阳光带来的温暖。它不但给我们带来了光明,还可以帮助我们杀毒消菌,春天的时候把被子晾在外面,你会闻到一股清新的阳光味道。可是有一个群体是非常害怕阳光的,看到阳光他们会变得焦躁不安,头晕目眩,呼吸困难等,他们就是阳光恐惧症患者。
It sounds like the plot of a vampire novel -- an otherwise healthy, well-adjusted person begins to live a life shrouded in darkness. She works nights and sleeps all day behind blackout curtains. If she must leave the house during the day, she slathers on a thick layer of sunscreen and hides behind dark glasses. Yet for those with heliophobia, or fear of sunlight, this may be reality.
这听起来像一个小说的情节——一个健康的、适应性良好的人的生活开始笼罩在黑暗中。她晚上工作,白天就躲在窗帘后睡觉。如果哪天不得不出门,她则必须要涂上厚厚的防晒霜并戴上墨镜。然而对那些日光恐惧症患者而言,这也许就是现实。
Heliophobia,or fear of sunlight, is a problem that afflicts tons of of people, however one that suffers from a scarcity of true research.
日光恐惧症是一个严重折磨患者的疾病,然而目前仍然缺乏对其真正的研究。
