为什么我们分手后会伤心欲绝？
英语课
Breaking up is hard to do. Whether you’re doing the dumping or getting dumped, chances are you feel pretty upset. And there’s a scientific explanation for this.
分手确实是件难事。无论是你甩了对方，还是对方甩了你，你都可能感到非常悲伤。对此，科学家已经做出解释啦。
Neuroscientist Dr. Lucy Brown told Bustle 1 about her famed 2010 experiment, in which her team looked at the brains of the recently jilted with the help of an MRI machine. Participants were shown photos of both a platonic 2 pal 3 and a recent ex, and the brains’ responses to each photo were then compared.
神经学家露西.布朗带领自己的科研团队在2010年做出了一项试验，她们通过一台MRI 仪对一组新近分手的人进行了脑部检查，参加者都查看了两组照片，一组是情深意笃的情侣，一组是自己的前任，研究者接着对他们观察两组照片的反应进行了对比。
为什么我们分手后会伤心欲绝？
Brown found that a photo of an ex activated 4 the same brain regions that are stimulated 5 when someone’s going through cocaine 6 withdrawal 7. In other words, she concluded, love is a drug and it’s really hard to quit. When a relationship is over, there’s still a part of the brain that keeps love alive.
布朗发现，当研究者看到前任的照片会刺激脑中的某个区域，这一区域与人吸食可卡因时所刺激的区域相同。换言之，布朗认为，爱情就像毒药一样，让人很难戒掉。当一段恋情结束的时候，人脑中仍有一部分脑部技能让爱情一丝残存。
“When we look at the picture of the person [we broke up with], there’s pain, but the main thing is you’re still in love with them. That’s really at a non-verbal level of the brain,” said Brown.
“当我们看到自己曾经爱过的人的照片时，会感到疼痛，但主要原因是，你仍然爱着他们。这种疼痛来自你脑中的非语言区域。”
This can be helpful to know: When you’re feeling awful post-breakup, you’re not being “crazy,” you’re simply being human.
“了解到这一点会对我们有所帮助：但你为分手感到难过万分时，这并不意味着你疯了，而只是因为你是一个普普通通的人类。”
