You're Into What? 恋物癖

by Marcus Maurice

During the Tang Dynasty, girls as young as five had bandages wrappedund their feet to inhibit the growth to no longer than six inches. _(1)_ Later in their lives, women who had endured foot binding suffered from terrible infections or were unable to walk even short distances. Women with bound feet wore lotus shoes. These delicate shoes were embroidered by the woman and attested to the smallness of her feet. Many men became fascinated with these small-footed women. _(2)_

Fetishes have been around forever. However, it wasn't until the late 1800s that it was identified and named. _(3)_ Since then, people who have serious fetishes for strange things have been thought of as mentally ill. Most people with fetishes believe they have had them since they could remember, but some can trace it back to a certain date or event. Psychologists have varying theories about why some people develop fetishes, _(4)_.

To treat people with severe fetishes, doctors use cognitive therapy and psychoanalysis. The former focuses on suppressing the patient's present-day desires, _(5)_. Prescription drugs that limit the amount of testosterone in males and estrogen in females also help. These medications enable patients to ignore their fetish and regain control of their lives.

Fetishes are normal as long as they don't cross the line. When it rules a person's life and puts others in danger, professional help is the answer.

(A) As a result, bound feet and lotus shoes became a fetish for some men.

(B) while the latter tries to figure out what caused the problem during childhood

(C) In 1877, French psychologist Alfred Binet introduced the word fetish to the world meaning admiration of an inanimate object.

(D) but most believe that imprinting, an event during childhood that has stayed in the mind, is to blame

(E) This barbaric process became popular all over China because people believed that the smaller the foot, the more beautiful the girl.

中文翻译&标准答案

唐朝时,女孩子从五岁开始就要用布缠脚,以抑制其生长超过六吋。这种野蛮行为风行全中国,因为人们相信脚越小的女孩越漂亮。这些忍受缠足之苦的女孩长大后,都会有严重感染、或无法走太远的问题。缠足的女子穿着莲花鞋。这些由女人自己刺绣的精美鞋子验证了她的小脚。许多男性对这些裹小脚的女子十分迷恋。因此,小脚和莲花鞋成了一些男性迷恋的对象。

恋物行为一直都存在,不过,一直到十九世纪末期才被给予定义并命名。1877年,法国心理学家艾佛德‧比奈首创『恋物癖』这个字,意思是对无生命物体的爱恋。从那时候开始,对奇怪事物有着严重迷恋的人都被视为精神疾病患者。大多数有恋物倾向的人相信自己有记忆以来就是如此,但有些人则可以追溯到特定的日子或事件。心理学家对恋物癖的原因有众多理论,但大多数相信,孩提时期某个事件一直存在脑海中的铭印现象是造成此癖好的原因。

医师会运用认知疗法和心理分析来治疗有严重恋物癖的患者。前者着重于压抑患者目前的欲望,而后者试着找出导致此癖好的儿时事件。抑制男性睪酮和女性雌激素分泌量的处方药也有帮助。这些药物可以让患者忘却自己的恋物癖,重新掌控自己的生活。

只要不超越界线,恋物癖就算正常。但若已主宰个人的生活并让他人陷入危险时,就该寻求专业的协助。

标准答案: 1. (E) 2. (A) 3. (C) 4. (D) 5. (B)
