参考译文
关于梦的常见问题
每个人都会做梦吗?
是的。
研究表明我们都会做梦。
在一种叫作快速眼动(REM)的睡眠期里,我们会有最清晰生动的梦。
在这种睡眠期里,大脑非常活跃,眼睛在眼睑下面来来回回地快速移动,而且身体的大肌肉会得到放松。
快速眼动睡眠期每隔90~100分钟会出现一次,一晚会出现3~4次,而且随着入夜渐深,每次持续的时间也会变长。
最后一次快速眼动睡眠期可能会持续长达45分钟。
我们在夜晚的其他时间段也会做梦,但是那些梦没有快速眼动睡眠期里的梦清晰生动。
人们会记得他们的梦吗?
一些人会记得他们的梦。
然而,大多数人会忘记晚上所发生的几乎所有的事——梦、思想以及他们醒着时的短暂时光。
但是,有时人们会在当天晚些时候或改天突然想起他们的梦。
他们对梦的记忆好像并没有完全消失,但出于某种原因却很难回忆起来。
如果你想记住自己的梦,最好的办法是一醒来就把它写下来。
梦是彩色的吗?
大多数梦是彩色的。
然而,人们可能不会意识到这一点。
这是基于两方面的原因:
人们通常不会记住梦的细节,或者因为颜色是我们生活中的自然组成部分,所以不会注意到。
那些在醒着的时候意识到颜色的人可能会更经常注意到梦的颜色。
梦有意义吗?
科学家们不停地讨论这个问题。
然而,那些花时间思考他们梦的人相信梦是有意义的、有用的。
有些人借助梦更多地了解自己的情感、思想、行为、动机和价值观。
其他人发现梦可以帮助自己解决问题。
艺术家、作家和科学家也确实经常从梦中获得创作的灵感。
我如何学会理解自己的梦?
要记得最重要的一点就是梦是个人的。
梦里的人、行为以及情景都能反映你的经历、思想以及情感。
有些梦境专家认为某些类型的梦是很多人都有的,即使他们来自不同的文化或时期。
然而,通常对于不同的人,同一个梦会有不同的意义。
比如,做梦梦到大象对于一个动物园管理员来说意味着一回事,而对于一个最喜欢大象毛绒玩具的小孩来说就意味着截然不同的事。
为了学会理解自己的梦,首先要思考一下梦的每一部分对你意味着什么或者让你想起了什么。
然后寻找梦与日常生活中所发生事情的联系。
如果你认真思考而且有耐心,或许你会更清晰地理解梦的意义。
词汇:
vivid/'vivid/adj.清晰的,生动的,逼真的
lid/lid/n.眼睑(=eyelid)
motive/məutiv/n.动机
stuffed/stʌft/adj.填充的,塞满了的
注释:
1. backandforth:
来回地,反复地。
2. bringitback:
回忆起它来。
bringback:
使回忆起来,带回来、拿回来,使恢复。
3. Scientistscontinuetodebatethisissue.科学家们不断地讨论这个问题。
“debate”作动词“争论,辩论,讨论”讲,既可以是不及物动词也可以是及物动词,作不及物动词时常与“about/on/upon”搭配。
练习:
A However,peoplewhospendtimethinkingabouttheirdreamsbelievethattheyaremeaningfulanduseful.
B ThefinalREMperiodmaylastaslongas45minutes.
C Peoplewhoareveryawareofcolorwhentheyareawakeprobablynoticecolormoreoftenintheirdreams.
D Ourmostpowerfuldreamsdon’thappenduringdeepsleep.
E Tolearntounderstandyourdreams,thinkaboutwhateachpartofthedreammeanstoyouorremindsyouof.
F Sometimes,though,peoplesuddenlyrememberadreamlaterinthedayoronanotherday.
答案与题解:
1. B 文中第一部分主要介绍快速眼动睡眠期,而且前一句正好提到每晚快速眼动睡眠期的间隔时间、出现频率及其持续时间的情况。
2. F 题目所在的前一句提到大多数人会忘记晚上所发生的几乎所有事情,而后一句中又提到人们对梦的记忆好像没有完全丢失,由此可以推断出中间这一句应该说的是人有时会记起自己的梦。
3. C 文中第三部分提到梦是彩色的,前面主要讲的是人们可能意识不到这个问题以及意识不到的原因,由此可以推断后面应该会提到那些可以意识到这个问题的人。
因此,答案为C。
4. A 文中第四部分讲的是梦的意义,纵观六个选项与部分主题相关的只有选项A,而且后面主要提到人们会利用梦做些什么,这也就意味着人们会思考他们的梦而且相信梦是有意义的。
5. E 由第五部分的标题就可以锁定选项E,而且后一句讲的是要寻找梦与现实的联系,正好与选项E的意思相吻合。
