emotional sunstroke 情绪中暑
Rising temperatures are being accompanied by rising levels of road rage in the city, police said July 26. In a phenomenon they've dubbed "emotional sunstroke," police say that drivers are more irritable in summer and that minor incidents can quickly escalate into violence. 警方26日表示,随着气温的升高,城市里“路怒”也随之增多。针对这种“情绪中暑”现象,警方称,夏季司机更易怒,小小的摩擦会迅速升级演变为暴力事件。 “情绪中暑”可以用英文emotional sunstroke表示,是指当气温超过35℃、日照超过12小时、湿度高于80%时,人容易情绪失控,频繁发生摩擦或争执的现象,又叫夏季情感障碍综合症。“中暑”除了用sunstroke表示,还可以用heatstroke表示。 日前,上海青浦区发生司机殴斗,众目睽睽下开起“碰碰车”,双方由相互指责演变为撕扯殴斗,后情绪失控,竟演变成撞车。有人称“路怒”(road rage)也是“情绪中暑”的一种。 天气变化会对人心情产生影响,夏季需警惕“情绪中暑”,夏季忧郁症(summertime sadness)。冬季需注意“小屋热”(cabin fever)、“冬季抑郁症”( winter depression)等季节情绪失调症(Seasonal Affective Disorder,SAD),需注意自我心理调节,保持良好的精神状态。 |
