科學(xué)證明愛自拍是好事：能提高幸福感~

現(xiàn)在不用怕啦，因為科學(xué)證明——自拍有利于身心健康，有利于提高幸福感，我們自拍可是為了健康~~

A new study published in the journal Health found that taking a photo (any photo) every day and sharing it online improves your well-being.

發(fā)表在《健康》雜志上的一項新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，每天拍照(任何照片)并在網(wǎng)上分享出來能提高幸福感。

Researchers found that snapping and sharing wasn’t simply an exercise in narcissism, but an act of self-care. Taking the photo encouraged mindfulness, while the sharing promoted social interaction.

研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，拍照和分享不僅僅是一種自戀的行為，而是一種自我照顧的行為。拍照鼓勵正念，而分享促進(jìn)了社會互動。

Looking at photos gives the subjects a sense of purpose, and planning to take them was a motivational force, the researchers say.

研究人員說，看照片會讓實驗對象有一種使命感，而且計劃拍照是一種激勵力量。

“It encourages me out of the house sometimes,” another participant says.

另一位參與者說:“有時候拍照能鼓勵我走出家門。”

On the social side, comments kept people connected with their friends and family, and even helped some combat loneliness.

在社交方面，評論照片讓人們與朋友和家人保持聯(lián)系，甚至幫助一些人克服孤獨。

Researchers concluded in a press release that posting photos online is “an active process of meaning making.”

研究人員在一份新聞稿中總結(jié)說，在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布照片是“一個制造意義的積極過程”。

4. 一說到“自拍”，如果你想到的英文表達(dá)還在是“take a picture of oneself by oneself”，你的英語口語就真的out了。

正確的表達(dá)：selfie 自拍照 take a selfie 自拍

Those who suffer from narcissism become self-absorbed or chronic show-offs.
