Up or down. One of my favorite things is to gently whisper right into your ear.
上或下。我最愛做的一件事情就是溫柔地在你耳邊低語。
Kinda like it.
還滿喜歡的耶。
Yeah.
對啊。
A lot of other people do. They binge-watch videos of this—people soap-shaving, you saw it there, whispering, finger-tapping. And obviously, it's a little bit strange as you're watching it. For a lot of people, members of the ASMR community in particular, it's healing. They say it alleviates stress, insomnia, depression, and even pain. And the reality is I'd actually never allowed myself to just fully envelop in the sensation from that, and it felt a little...soothing.
很多人喜歡聽這類影片。他們狂看這種影片－－刮肥皂，就像你影片看到的，氣音低語、手指輕敲。而且很明顯的是，看這種影片的時候會覺得怪怪的。對很多人來說，特別是 ASMR 社群的成員，會覺得這非常療癒。他們說這個能減輕壓力、失眠、憂鬱，甚至疼痛。而事實是，我從來沒有讓自己完全沉浸在那種感覺過，而這讓人感覺有點...放鬆。
It gets your attention.
會抓住你的注意力。
It does.
真的會。
It sucks, it pulls you in so much that you forget if something else was going on in your mind that you—
這會吸住你，把你深深拉進去，如果你的腦袋在想別的事情的話，這會讓你忘記－－
Yes, it does.
對，會這樣。
Yeah, it does.
對呀，真的會。
I'd rather hear one of the girls whisper like that.
我比較想要聽到妳們其中一個女生那樣氣音說話。
I would, too. I would. Put it in the right voice, the right tones, the right—
我也想。我也想。只要用正確的聲音、正確的語調、正確的－－
Obviously, they're also using really good audio.
很明顯我們可以看到，他們也會用很好的收音工具。
Right.
沒錯。
Why? And what is this thing?
為什麼會這樣呢？這到底是什麼樣的東西呢？
Okay. So, ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, and basically, it refers to the feelings of euphoria and "tingleness" that people get, especially in response to sensory stimuli. The most common ones from research studies are whispering and crisp sounds, as you saw in that video, so, the fingernails, eating pickles.
好的。ASMR 代表「自發性知覺高潮反應」，基本上就是指人們會感到一陣狂喜和起雞皮疙瘩的感覺，這是特別對於感官刺激的回應。研究顯示最常見的就是氣音低語和清脆的聲音，就像你在影片看到的，像是指甲聲，吃醃小黃瓜的聲音。
And the reason why people think that it helps them is because it tends to promote this relaxation sort of quality. And some people will say they've felt better not only while they're listening to those videos but up to hours afterwards. 80 percent of people will say that they increased their mood.
人們會覺得這有幫助的原因是因為這能提升放鬆的品質。有些人說聽這些影片的當下會覺得感覺舒坦多了，甚至有些人表示之後幾個小時還是有這種效果。百分之八十的人會說這會讓他們心情變好。
However, there's no controlled study, so we don't actually know how it works. I have some clients who swear by this, though, and they kind of use it as an alternative therapeutic technique.
但是這沒有對照研究，所以我們不知道這確切是如何運作的。我有一些客戶確信 ASMR 有效，他們還用這個方法作為替代療法使用。
I kind of wanna watch it again. Does anyone else?
我有點想再看一次欸。有人想看嗎？
Yeah!
有!
Right? A little bit of that soothing voice.
對不對？來點舒服的聲音。
You like voice the best?
你最喜歡她講話的聲音嗎？
Can we—
我們可以－－
Did you guys get some tinglyness?
你們有感到一陣雞皮疙瘩嗎？
Yeah! And the tapping.
有!還有那個手指敲的聲音。
I did. A little bit.
我有。有一點。
Of course, if someone is on medication, and they're getting treatment from a counselor, I wouldn't say stop your medication and just do this. You should do it in conjunction with a medical professional's opinion. But if you have mild depression or something, and you don't even need medication, then this could be really soothing in those instances, too, or in conjunction with medicine.
當然，如果有人正在進行藥物治療，也從諮詢師得到治療，我不會叫你停掉藥物治療，只聽 ASMR。你應該結合醫生的意見。但如果你只有輕微的憂鬱之類的，而你不需要藥物治療，那在這種情況下，ASMR 就會是很令人舒心的方法，或者搭配藥物一起。
I couldn't agree with you more, but it seems like a benign way to calm down, maybe you have a few of these—
我非常贊同你，但這似乎是種溫和又可以讓人冷靜下來的方式，你也許可以來些這種－－
Wait, wait, Judy, does this work for you?
等等，等等，Judy，妳覺得這對妳有用嗎？
Yeah, it does.
有，有感覺。
It all does!
全部都有!
I actually, I like that.
說真的，我還滿喜歡的欸。
Do you like that? Do you want one, too?
妳也喜歡嗎？妳也想來一個嗎？
I want one, too.
我也要一個。
Clearly, this could all be placebo effect, and...
很顯然，這可以變成一種安慰劑效應，而且...
Pass it down.
傳下去。
That's the stuff.
就是那樣。
Now you do it to Dr. Travis.
那妳現在撕紙給 Travis 博士聽。
I'm all calm now. Let's do some TV.
我現在完全冷靜下來了。我們該認真做節目囉。
That's the stuff.
就是那樣啦。
