程度副詞

Last week I got an email that I almost overlooked.

上週我收到一封差點錯過的 email。

It said, Dear Life Noggin, can very bad things be good for you?

信上寫著：親愛的 Life Noggin，壞事對你會有好處嗎？

I almost disregarded the question because, well, avoiding dangerous elements like radiation or toxins seems like a no brainer.

我差點忽略了這個問題，因為，嗯，避開輻射或毒素這類危險的東西，好像是常識。

Those things could cause some serious damage or even kill ya.

那些東西可能會造成嚴重的傷害，甚至讓你喪命。

But according to one theory, it's not as black and white as it seems.

但根據一種理論，事情不像看起來那麼非黑即白。

And in some cases, if you are given a small enough amount of something that's typically considered harmful, you may insist instead see some health benefits.

而且在某些情況下，如果你攝取了足夠少量的、通常被認為有害的東西，你可能會發現反而看到一些健康益處。

One second, I'm just getting a note from the Life Noggin lawyers.

等一下，我收到 Life Noggin 律師的通知。

Do not try ingesting or purposely doing anything that can cause you harm or kill you.

請勿嘗試攝取或故意做任何可能對你造成傷害或讓你喪命的事。

Oh, so blocko is really cool and smart and buff.

喔，所以 blocko 真的很酷、很聰明、很強壯。

So could bad things potentially help you?

所以，壞東西有可能會對你有幫助嗎？

It's been around for quite some time with the concept originating from the 16th century.

這個理論已經存在很久了，概念源自於 16 世紀。

Since then, scientists have identified a variety of stressors that can cause an adverse reaction at high doses, but

從那時起，科學家們就發現了各種壓力源，在高劑量時會引起不良反應，但是

These include things like exercise, dieting, heat, various chemicals like toxins, restricting blood flow and even radiation.

這些包括運動、飲食、高溫、各種化學物質（像是毒素）、限制血流，甚至輻射。

While each works in a slightly different way, in general they cause mild stress on the cells by producing free radicals, moving molecul in or out of our cells and increasing the demand for energy in response.

雖然每種的作用方式略有不同，但總的來說，它們會透過產生自由基、移動分子進出細胞，以及增加能量需求來對細胞造成輕微壓力。

Protective stress resistant proteins are made like antioxidants.

會產生保護性的抗壓力蛋白質，像是抗氧化劑。

For example, exercise puts a lot of stress on your cells, like starving them of oxygen and depressing the immune system, but

舉例來說，運動會對你的細胞造成很大的壓力，像是讓它們缺氧、抑制免疫系統，但是

the cells adapt and develop a more efficient defense system.

細胞會適應並發展出更有效的防禦系統。

However, if you exercise too hard or often, it can cause overuse injuries and decrease your immune system.

不過，如果你運動過度或太頻繁，可能會造成過度使用傷害，並降低你的免疫力。

There are a number of other possible stressors currently being evaluated for medical applications.

目前還有許多其他可能的壓力源正在評估中，用於醫療用途。

The most widely studied is ischemic preconditioning.

研究最廣泛的是「缺血預處理」。

This is when blood flow to a certain organ or tissue is restricted for a short period of time.

這是指將特定器官或組織的血流限制一小段時間。

Some evidence suggests that this will allow the body to build up a tolerance to it before it occurs naturally and causes a serious injury to an organ like the heart or brain.

有些證據顯示，這能讓身體在真正發生嚴重傷害（例如心臟或大腦器官）之前，先建立起耐受性。

But so far, clinical studies have had mixed results and the mechanism is still poorly understood.

不過到目前為止，臨床研究結果好壞參半，其機制仍不清楚。

Some cellular studies have found that low doses of radiation can create a positive effect, with one rodent study resulting in a delay of the onset of cancer.

有些細胞研究發現，低劑量輻射能產生正面效果，其中一項針對囓齒動物的研究顯示，癌症發作延遲了。

But others have found that there is no effect or that it prevented DNA repair.

但也有研究發現，沒有效果，或是會阻止 DNA 修復。

So yeah, there's a lot to still figure out there.

所以，這方面還有很多東西需要釐清。

Clearly a lot of work still needs to be done to fully understand this process and determine whether or not it can be applied medically.

顯然，還有很多工作要做，才能完全瞭解這個過程，並確定它是否能用於醫療。

I definitely don't want to be the test subject for any of these though.

我絕對不想成為這些實驗的試驗品。

So maybe for now the saying should go what doesn't kill you might make you stronger.

所以也許現在這句話應該改成，那些殺不死你的，可能會讓你更強壯。

So what's one bad thing you still cling to?

那你還有什麼堅持的壞習慣呢？
