Oh, Squeaks, I'm so sorry about your ball.

喔，Squeaks，關於你的球的事，我很遺憾。

過去簡單式

Squeaks was in the yard playing with his favorite soccer ball, and he kicked it into a rock, and it popped!

Squeaks 在院子裡玩牠最喜歡的足球，把球踢上一塊石頭，然後它就爆炸了！

Oh, no, I don't think we're gonna be able to fix it.

哦，不，我不認為我們能夠修好它。

We could patch it, but the air would still leak out.

我們可以修補它，但空氣還是會漏出來。

如果你想要的話，我們可以買一顆新的。

A new one won't be the same because this one will still be popped.

新的還是不一樣，因為舊的這顆依然會是破的。

Everybody gets sad sometimes, and crying is a natural thing that can happen when you're sad.

每個人都會有傷心的時候，而哭泣是可能在我們悲傷時發生、自然不過的事。

It's actually a really important thing that our bodies do.

這實際上是人體會所做、一件非常重要的事。

Scientists aren't completely sure why we cry when we're sad, but they do have some guesses.

科學家們不完全確定我們傷心時為何會哭，但它們有一些猜測。

One of the main reasons has to do with what crying tells other people.

其中一個主要原因是，哭泣傳達給其他人的訊息。

When I see you crying, Squeaks, I know that you're sad right away.

Squeaks，我看到你哭時，我馬上就知道你傷心了。

You don't even have to tell me with words⏤although, it does help if you do.

你甚至不需要用文字跟說，雖然你告訴我的話會有幫助。

The more I know about how you're feeling, and the more you know about how I'm feeling, the better we can live together.

我越了解你的感受，你就越能了解我的感受，那我們就能更好地共同生活。

If you're really sad or angry or having other strong feelings and I don't know about it,

如果你真的很傷心、憤怒或有其它強烈的感覺而我不知道，

then I might do something insensitive without realizing it and make things worse.

那我可能會在不知不覺中，做一些不敏感的行為，使事情變得更糟。

For example, now would not be a good time to bring out my favorite ball and go play with it in the yard.

例如，現在就不是拿出我最喜歡的球去院子裡玩的好時機。

It wouldn't be a very nice thing, since yours just popped.

因為你的球剛爆破了，所以那不會是很好的事。

But if I didn't know you were sad, I might not realize it would be hurtful.

但如果我不知道你在傷心，我可能不會發現這會傷害你。

Knowing that you're sad also means I can try and find ways to help, even if that's just by staying with you until you feel better.

知道你很傷心就表示我可以嘗試找到幫你的方法，即便只是待在你身邊，直到你心情好點為止。

And remember the other day when I felt sad about the end of the book I was reading?

記得我因為正在讀的書的結尾感到悲傷那一天嗎？

You gave me a hug and it made me feel so much better.

你給了我一個擁抱，讓我感覺好多了。

I'm so glad that we can show or tell what we're feeling so we can try and help each other.

我很高興我們可以展示或說出我們的感受，讓我們就可以嘗試幫助對方。

And that's really important outside the Fort, too.

而那在我們堡壘之外的地方也非常重要。

The whole world is a much better place when you can help people who are sad or having a hard time.

當你能幫助悲傷或有困難的人時，整個世界會變得更美好。

Besides helping us share our feelings, scientists also think we cry when we're sad because of what's in our tears.

除了幫我們分享感受，科學家們也認為我們是因為眼淚中的成份而哭泣。

If you taste your tears, you can tell that they're pretty salty, and that's because they have salt in them.

如果你嚐嚐你的眼淚，就可以發現它們蠻鹹的，而那是因為眼淚中含鹽。

And one of the other ingredients in tears is a painkiller, something that makes pain go away.

其中另一個成分是止痛劑，也就是讓疼痛感消滅的東西。

It's kind of like the medicine your doctor might give you when you're sick, except this is something that your body makes by itself.

它有點像醫生可能在你生病時開給你的藥，不過這是你身體自行製造的。

So, when you cry because you're sad, your tears have something in them that can make you hurt less, even if it's just your heart that hurts.

所以當你因為悲傷而哭時，你的眼淚當中會有讓疼痛感減緩的成分，即便痛的只是你的心。

And then, hopefully, when you're done crying, you start to feel a little better.

然後希望在你哭完後，你會開始感覺好一點。

Do you think you're starting to feel better?

你覺得你的心情開始好轉了嗎？

And just like you're already starting to feel better now, over time, you'll start to feel even less sad.

而正如同你現在心情已經開始好轉，隨著時間過去，你會開始感到較不傷心。

It's all part of understanding our feelings and the different ways we show them, including by crying.

這都是了解自身情感和不同表現方式的一部分，包括透過哭泣。

Thanks to everyone who asked about why we cry when we're sad.

謝謝每一個問我們為什麼傷心時會哭的人。
