One of my friends, Illymation, said it's inevitable that we turn into our parents as we get older.

我一個朋友 Illymation 說，隨著年紀增長，我們都會變成爸媽。

不過對我來說，這倒不是真的。

Otherwise I'd slowly be turning into this weird flesh monster.

不然我早就變成一個奇怪的肉塊怪物了。

How much of your parents do you actually become?

你到底會變成爸媽的多少比例呢？

Sure, you may end up looking like your parents as you get older, but

沒錯，你可能會隨著年紀增長，長得跟爸媽越來越像，但是

To help me with this video, I brought the friend who asked me that question.

為了幫我完成這支影片，我找來了問我這個問題的朋友。

Um, I didn't know I was doing a video with you.

嗯，我不知道我會跟你一起拍影片耶。

I just asked that question because I didn't know the answer.

我問那個問題只是因為我不知道答案。

I know, but every millennial I asked to be in this video was too scared of this question.

我知道，但每個我找來拍這支影片的千禧世代都太害怕這個問題了。

I don't really know too much about the subject, though.

不過，我對這個主題也不是很瞭解。

And I suddenly know so much more than I ever needed to.

Yeah, I'd say that sums up this channel pretty well.

Eye color, height, and even certain illnesses.

而且我突然間就知道了好多好多，比我需要的還多。

We inherit these traits through the DNA we receive from them.

對啊，我覺得這句話還蠻貼切地形容了這個頻道。

But our likeness to our parents doesn't end with our genetic code.

Researchers have found that we can receive much more than their genes.

We can also inherit the effects of their trauma.

我們從爸媽那裡繼承了好多東西。

A paper published in 2017 reviewed 20 studies that evaluated the intergenerational trauma experienced by refugee families.

2017年發表的一篇論文，回顧了20項評估難民家庭代際創傷的研究。

These studies measured the prevalence of mental illnesses among the offspring of survivors of the Holocaust, Southeast Asian wars, and

這些研究測量了猶太人大屠殺、東南亞戰爭倖存者的後代，以及

the Cambodian genocide and conflict in the Middle East.

高棉種族滅絕和中東衝突倖存者的後代，罹患精神疾病的盛行率。

Compared to control groups, these studies had higher rates of depression, post traumatic stress disorder, and

與對照組相比，這些研究發現憂鬱症、創傷後壓力症候群，以及

One of these studies also found the effects of parents Trauma can occur even after many years have passed.

其中一項研究還發現，即使多年過去，父母的創傷也會產生影響。

In this study, the occurrence of PTSD symptoms in Vietnamese fathers in the year after their immigration predicted their children's mental health 23 years later.

在這項研究中，越南父親在移民後一年出現PTSD症狀的發生率，預測了他們子女在23年後的心理健康狀況。

And in an unrelated study published in 2014, researchers looked at just how far intergenerational trauma can extend.

另外，在一項2014年發表的獨立研究中，研究人員探討了代際創傷的影響範圍有多廣。

In this study, the researchers made mice fear a certain odor by shocking them whenever the smell was present.

在這項研究中，研究人員透過在老鼠聞到某種氣味時電擊牠們，讓牠們對這種氣味產生恐懼。

When their children and even grandchildren smelled this odor, they exhibited the same same fear response as their parents and grandparents without the shock.

當牠們的子女甚至孫子女聞到這種氣味時，牠們表現出了與父母和祖父母相同的恐懼反應，而沒有受到電擊。

Generally, mental illnesses and phobias are thought to have an inherited genetic component, where a permanent change in the DNA sequence, called a gene variant, can make someone more likely to develop a certain mental illness or phobia.

一般來說，精神疾病和恐懼症被認為有遺傳基因的成分，DNA序列中的永久性改變，稱為基因變異，會讓人更容易罹患某種精神疾病或恐懼症。

But scientists believe there are other factors at play beyond altered DNA, such as our environment.

但科學家認為，除了DNA改變之外，還有其他因素在作用，像是我們的環境。

This includes social factors in our environment, like our relationships with our parents, which has been found to play a big role in intergenerational trauma Sex.

這包括我們環境中的社會因素，像是我們與父母的關係，這已被發現會在代際創傷性行為中扮演重要角色。

Several of the included studies that were in the 2017 review paper attributed poor familial relationships as a mechanism in which trauma was passed down to the next generation.

在2017年的回顧論文中，幾項研究將不良的家庭關係歸因於創傷傳遞給下一代的機制。

For instance, one study found that communication problems within these families were associated with higher levels of secondary traumatic stress.

例如，一項研究發現，這些家庭中的溝通問題與較高程度的次發性創傷壓力有關。

Another study found that the children were more likely to experience emotional abuse and neglect, which in turn led to the development of PTSD, which their parents typically suffered from as well.

另一項研究發現，孩子們更有可能遭受情感虐待和忽視，這反過來導致了PTSD的發展，而他們的父母通常也患有PTSD。

嘿，這部影片根本是心理治療的宣導片嘛。

Dude, this video's like a PSA for therapy.

Another mechanism being explored is epigenetics, which takes these environmental factors a step further by looking at how they impact the way our genes function.

另一種正在探索的機制是「表觀遺傳學」，它更進一步探討這些環境因素如何影響我們基因的功能。

You see, the things we experience in our environment, like toxins or stress, alter the molecules that control the expression of our genes, making them more or less active.

你知道嗎，我們在環境中經歷的事情，像是毒素或壓力，會改變控制我們基因表現的分子，讓它們變得更活躍或不那麼活躍。

Some scientists believe that these molecular changes might.

有些科學家認為，這些分子上的改變可能會。

Might be able to be passed down to one's offspring, resulting in the development of similar illnesses or phobias.

可能會傳給下一代，導致發展出類似的疾病或恐懼症。

Researchers are still investigating exactly how or if this happens, but

研究人員仍在調查這是否會發生，以及確切的發生方式，但

either way, it's clear that we have way more in common with our parents than we may think.

無論如何，很明顯我們和父母的共同點比我們想像的還要多。

Okay, this was actually kind of fun to do.

好啦，這個其實做起來還蠻有趣的。

But I would appreciate getting this info out of my head now.

不過，我現在真的很想把這些資訊從腦袋裡清空。

I feel like I know too much about how eels mate.

我感覺我對鰻魚怎麼交配知道太多了。

We begin the info extraction process, please.

Ooh, can you remove my middle school file, too?

喔，可以也把我的國中檔案刪掉嗎？

Those memories are triple encrypted with a cringe wall.

那些回憶被三重加密，還加上一道尷尬牆。

So, do you think you're becoming like your parents?

所以，你覺得你正在變成跟你的父母一樣嗎？

Are you working hard to break that cycle?

你是不是很努力想打破這個循環呢？
