新研究发现，听喜爱的音乐能够降低人们的疼痛感，尤其是那些苦涩又甜美的动人歌曲。

There is no doubt that music can soothe the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary soother for physical pain.

毫无疑问，音乐可以安抚某些人的灵魂，但事实证明，音乐也可以暂时缓解身体的疼痛。

Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.

发表在《疼痛研究前沿》期刊上的一项新研究称，听喜爱的音乐能够降低人们的疼痛感。研究发现，缓解疼痛最有效的是讲述苦乐参半的感性经历的悲伤歌曲。

The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs, and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection represented their favorite music of all time, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants.

这项小型研究邀请了63名年轻成人各选两首自己最喜爱的歌曲，唯一的要求是歌曲必须至少长达3分钟20秒。其中一首歌是他们一直以来最爱听的歌曲，另一首歌是他们会带到荒岛上听的歌曲。研究人员还让这些年轻人从7首歌中挑出一首歌曲，这7首歌是研究团队认为能让人放松而且参与者不熟悉的歌曲。
