中國日報雙語新聞：性愛有助於緩解心理壓力、消除緊張情緒

這一期雙語新聞的漢譯十分糟糕，就算沒有相關的學科知識，也能發現不少錯誤。下面綠色部份是我的理解和評論。

Sex calms nerves before public speaking - study
研究表明：性愛有助於緩解壓力

「壓力」應該是指心理壓力，而不是物理壓力，比如負重。
[試譯] 研究表明：性愛有助於緩解心理壓力




Sex calms nerves before public speaking



Forget pretending you are talking to one person or concentrating on a single point in the audience -- having sex is good way to calm nerves before giving a speech or presentation.
不要作出一副你要對某人講話或是專註於觀眾中某一點的樣子，在演講或演出之前，做愛可以有效緩解緊張情緒。

"Forget pretending..." 不用再逼著自己進入角色了。說的是要不要進入角色，不是要不要裝腔作勢擺樣子。
"presentation" 在句中不是「演出」而是「作報告」。
另外，我個人認為，像「緩解心理壓力」，「消除緊張情緒」這樣的辭彙搭配比較好。
[試譯] 再也不用強迫自己專註於聽眾中的某一人或者某一位置啦！在演講或作報告之前，做愛可以有效地消除緊張情緒。


But Stuart Brody, a psychologist at the University of Paisley in Scotland, said it has to be full sexual intercourse to get the best results.

Adelyn,go check what I post in [性愛密語]你是如何看待性愛問題的?

i watched the movie "six days and seven nights" and heard the flight-attendant and hawaiian dancer girl (angelica) saying "after ceremony, people have sex." i understood it as a practical way to calm nerves. now i know it is science.

that's why mr clinton loves sex meanwhile he talks so smoothly in public. that's why someone liked women so much and could change history. that's why the famed 007 is a womanizer!
