凱薩琳：歡迎收聽「六分鐘英語」

the programme where we explore an interesting

今天節目裡我們要探討一個有趣的話題

topic and bring you six items of useful vocabulary.

Catherine: I have a question for you, Rob:

凱薩琳：羅伯，我有一個問題要問你：

you'll need to tell me more! But first things first,

你要給我多一點資訊！ 但首先要談的是

the word therapy refers to a kind of treatment that helps

therapy 這個字，指的是一種可以幫助別人

Someone who delivers therapy is called a therapist.

Catherine: We'll find out more about this robot therapist

凱薩琳：我們等一會兒就會有更多，有關這位機器人治療師的資訊

I've got a question for you about the scale

So roughly how many people do you think experience

大致上，你認為有多少人在他們有一生之中

mental health issues at some point during

或多或少都會遇到心理健康方面的問題

their lifetime? Is it... a) One in ten people,

b) 四分之一的人， 或 c) 三分之一的人

但是我知道，不管哪個是正確答案

機器人治療師可提供什麼樣的幫助？

Catherine: We're not talking about a robot

in the Star Wars sense - so there's no flashing

星際大戰裡的機器人 - 所以不要聯想到電光

lights and mechanical arms, Rob! It's actually an app

或是機械手臂，它實際上是指一個智慧手機裡

羅伯：所以 - 這個名字還滿幽默的

Woe means 'sadness'; so this is a 'woe' bot,

Woe 是悲傷的意思；所以這是一個「大悲」機器人

Catherine: And it was developed by psychologist

凱薩琳：它由美國史丹福大學的心理學家

in the US. Here she is talking to the BBC radio

這裡播放的，是她在BBC廣播節目

Dr Alison Darcy: Well, after you start an

艾莉森.達西博士：在你與 Woebot

and he'll take you through sort of what he can do

and what he can't do, he'll just essentially

而那些是它不能做的，它實質上只會每天

check in with you every day and just give you

向你報到，並且好像在象徵性的

and say: "Hey Claudia, how are you doing?

說：「嗨，克勞迪亞，最近好嗎？」

What's going on in your day? How do you feel?"

你今天過得怎麼樣？你感覺如何？

So if you say, like "I'm really, really stressed out",

所以如果你說，像是「我真的、真的壓力好大。」

Catherine: Woebot checks in with you every day

doesn't mean to register at a hotel with that person!

並不是說在飯店向櫃台人員報到那樣！

It's an informal way of saying you talk to someone

這是一種非正式的講法，指的是你與人交談

in order to report or find out information.

Catherine: And this usage is more common in the US.

凱薩琳：而這種方式在美國更常見到

例如：「我今天見沒空和你見面，

看看我們的計劃進行得如呵。」

Rob: So, this robot checks in with you every day.

羅伯：所以，這個機器人每天向你報到

並使用一種稱之為「認知行為療法」的治療方式

Catherine: They've done trials which show that

凱薩琳：他們已經做了一些試驗

it can be more effective than simply reading

證明使用機器人，比單純只是看一些心理健康

But they haven't compared Woebot to a real

但考慮到倫理上的問題，他們並沒有把 Woebot

羅伯：對，僅因為一個實驗去否定

a real patient access to a human therapist

Catherine: And another concern is privacy.

凱薩琳：另一個顧慮是隱私問題

People who use apps like this are not protected

使用這類應用程式的人，無法受到隱私法

Rob: Despite these fears, digital therapy

羅伯：儘管存在這些擔憂，但數位化療法

is booming - and Woebot is just one of an

正在蓬勃發展 - 而 Woebot 只是越來越多的

an increasing number of electronic services.

One reason for this could be using an app carries less

其中一個原因，可能是使用應用程式

stigma than maybe seeing a human therapist.

比起人類治療師，可以減少醫療的負面效應

Catherine: And stigma refers to the negative

associations that people have about something,

especially when these associations are not fair.

特別是與受到不公平待遇有關的

some people do still see mental health issues

看待心理健康和心理治療這方面的問題

Rob: Whatever you think of robot therapy,

羅伯：無論您如何看待機器人療法

Dr Darcy believes that in the modern world

which means thinking deeply about yourself,

in order to understand the reasons behind your feelings.

以了解我們每個感覺的背後，所存在著真正的原因

Dr Alison Darcy: The world that we live in right now

艾麗森.達希博士：我們現在居住的世界

是紛擾的。 特別是受到數位化的影響
