你耳朵里有earworm吗?

15

某天早晨起床,脑子里满是一首歌的旋律,刷牙洗脸的时候嘴里不由自主哼出来的也是这首歌,走在上班的路上,耳边还是它的旋律。难道是晚上睡觉梦到这首歌了?别慌,这样的事情几乎每个人都遇到过,研究人员把这种现象叫做earworm(耳朵虫)。

Earworm, a loan translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a portion of a song or other musical material that repeats compulsively within one's mind, known colloquially as "music being stuck in one's head". Studies demonstrated that different people have varying susceptibilities to earworms, but that almost everybody has been afflicted with one at some time or another.

Earworm(耳朵虫)这个词是从德语单词Ohrwurm直译过来的,指歌曲或其他音乐作品的某个片断不由自主地反复在某人脑子里出现的情况,口语中一般表达为“脑袋里粘着音乐”。有研究表明,不同的人对“耳朵虫”的感受度是不一样的,但几乎每个人都曾经在某个时间受到过“耳朵虫”的侵扰。

The psychoanalyst Theodor Reik used the term haunting melody to describe the psychodynamic features of the phenomenon. Another scientific term for the phenomenon, involuntary musical imagery, or INMI, was suggested by the neurologist Oliver Sacks in 2007.

精神分析专家西奥多・雷克把这种现象的精神动力特性称为“萦绕在心头的旋律”,该现象的另一个科学名称是“非自主音乐想象”,简称INMI,是由神经科专家奥利弗・塞克斯在2007年提出来的。
