  • Every purchase brings you closer to a new GM vehicle.

    每一次的購買都讓你更有機會得到一台全新的通用汽車。

  • Climbing mountains, exploring high places and playing music all have something in common, and your body does it naturally.

    爬山、探索高處以及玩音樂都有一些共同處,而且你的身體自然而然能夠做到。

  • Howdy folks, Trace here for DNews.

    大家好,我是 DNews 的 Trace。

  • The human body is amazingly adaptable.

    人體的適應能力是很驚人的。

  • We heal after massive injury, we overcome emotional trauma, and with a bit of training, our bodies can adapt to whatever we throw at them.

    我們在嚴重的受傷後得以復原,我們克服情緒上的創傷,並且通過訓練,我們的身體能夠適應任何面臨到的環境。

  • Mountain climbing is one of the most challenging outdoor activities I've ever attempted.

    爬山是我嘗試過最富有挑戰性的戶外活動之一。

  • And doing some research on it, I've found that it's pretty tough on our bodies too.

    在做了一些研究以後,我發現爬山對於我們的身體而言也是非常艱難的。

  • Firstly, there are no muscles in your fingers or toes. I know!

    第一,在你的手指和腳趾上並沒有肌肉,對!

  • Without them, we can't climb anything, and there are NO muscles in there.

    沒有它們,我們沒有辦法爬上任何東西,那裡沒有肌肉!

  • Your phalanges, or the bones of your fingers and toes, are attached to tendons which pull from muscles in your forearm.

    你的趾骨 (或稱為手指骨或腳趾骨) 連接到從你手掌和前臂的肌腱上牽拉著肌肉。

  • Spread your fingers out like this, see those taught cables stretching through your hand?

    像這樣張開你的手指,看到那些沿著你的手伸展突起的線條了嗎?

  • Those are tendons connected to muscles down here!

    那些就是連接到你前臂肌肉的肌腱!

  • When you rock climb, the muscles build up as expected, and according to a 2006 Journal of Anatomy study, climbers' bones are thicker too!

    當你從事攀岩,你的肌肉會增加,如我們預期的一樣;根據一份 2006 年的解剖學研究,登山者的骨骼更厚!

  • Even those who didn't begin climbing until after skeletal maturity at age 25 had thicker metacarpals and phalanges.

    即使是那些超過 25 歲在骨骼成熟以後才開始從事攀登的人,他們的掌骨和指骨也比較厚。

  • Of course, those thicker bones won't make any difference if the fingers aren't callused.

    當然,那些較厚的骨骼如果沒有搭配長繭的手指便沒有作用。

  • Calluses are a form of skin protection, perhaps you've shaken hands with a construction worker, a climber, or a guitar player

    老繭是一種保護皮膚的機制,你或許曾經和建築工人、登山者,或是吉他手握手。

  • Remember those rough spots on their hands?

    記得那些在他們手上粗糙的地方嗎?

  • Those calluses are a result of repeated friction of the skin, and are a natural formation to protect the body.

    那些老繭就是由於重複摩擦皮膚而來的,也是一種保護身體的自然機制。

  • The outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum, is a layer 25 cells thick of dead skin.

    你皮膚最外層的角質層,是一層 25 層厚的死皮。

  • It serves as a first barrier to UV light, infection and friction.

    它是抵禦紫外線、感染、和摩擦的第一道屏障。

  • When a violinist plays a lot, or an auto worker finger-tightens bumper bolts every day;

    當一個小提琴家經常演奏,或是一個汽車工人每天使用手指拴緊保險桿時;

  • The skin on their fingertips will respond by thickening the stratum corneum to over 100 cells!

    指尖上的皮膚會通過使角質層增厚到超過 100 多層做為反應!

  • So let's say your muscles are built, your fingers get callused, and you get to the top of the mountain you're trying to climb.

    所以我們假設你的肌肉增加,手指長繭,而且你到了你想要攀登的山頂上。

  • Once you're there your brain starts freaking out, and not just a little bit.

    一旦你到達了那裡,你的腦袋開始感到驚慌失措,而不只是一點點。

  • A study in the American Journal of Medicine of 35 climbers who didn't take supplementary oxygen with them, found brain damage in nearly all of the adventurers.

    美國醫學雜誌的一項研究顯示, 35 名登山者沒有攜帶補充氧氣,幾乎每一位冒險家都被發現有腦部損傷的情形。

  • The cause? Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen to the brain, which make sense at altitudes in the study of over 14,000 feet.

    原因是什麼呢?在高度的研究當中,超過14000 英呎會有缺氧,或腦部缺氧的情形發生。

  • A lack of oxygen on a mountain can cause insomnia, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and headaches.

    在山上缺氧會導致失眠、頭昏、疲倦、反胃、嘔吐以及頭痛。

  • It's called "acute mountain sickness."

    通稱為「急性高原反應」。

  • And though most climbers know this already, what they don't know is this brain damage ain't temporary.

    而儘管大部分的登山者已經知道這一點,他們所不知道的是這個損傷並不是暫時性的。

  • At high altitudes, both professional and amateur climbers know to get acclimated, and some no longer experience acute mountain sickness.

    身處高海拔,專業和業餘登山者都知道要適應環境,有些人也不再有不舒服的症狀。

  • But MRI's of climbers brains still showed brain damage.

    但是在磁振造影的檢查當中,登山者的腦部仍然顯示出腦部損傷。

  • And over time, the damage worsens and though the body is resilient the brain doesn't recover so well.

    隨著時間的推移,損傷程度加劇,儘管身體已經恢復,腦部卻不能夠復原得很好。

  • After years of high-altitude climbing with no supplementary oxygen, the brain damage can screw with VR-spaces in the brain.

    經過長年的高海拔攀登,腦部損傷可能會引起腦部血管周圍間隙。

  • Or the parts that communicate with the lymph system and drain brain fluid.

    或與淋巴系統交流並排出腦液的部位的毀壞。

  • Of course, this can all be avoided, again, by bringing oxygen with you, sojust do that.

    當然,這是都是可以藉由攜帶氧氣在身邊去避免的,所以... 就這麼做吧。

  • Of course, there is one thing that might help you avoid some of these high-altitude brain issues:

    當然,有一件事或許能夠幫助你們去避免這些高原症引起的腦部問題。

  • A fear of heights!

    那就是懼高症!

  • According to Evolutionary Psychologists, fear of heights is what kept our ancestors from getting too close to the edge of a cliff and risking death.

    根據進化心理學家,對於高度的恐懼讓我們祖先避免冒著生命的危險去接近懸崖邊緣。

  • Of course, if it's enough to keep you off a mountain, then it might have blown into something worse than the evolutionary inborn instinct.

    當然,如果懼高症足以讓你離開山峰,那麼它可能帶來了比進化本能更糟糕的東西。

  • Many primates are comfortable in trees, so why do we get a phobia of heights?

    許多靈長類動物在樹上都能穿梭自如,所以為什麼我們會有懼高症呢?

  • Probably something taught by parents or experiences, said scientists.

    科學家認為,或許是受父母或過去經驗的影響。

  • How do you feel about climbing?

    你對於攀登的感覺是什麼?

  • Have you ever wanted to challenge your body by climbing a mountain?

    你有想過要藉由登山來挑戰身體嗎?

  • Get on belay down in the comments!

    請留下評論!
