[07:52.89]He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.

[07:58.93]An expert on sleep in America claims that he has never seen a sleepwalker
[08:02.61]美国一位睡眠专家声称他从没见过一个梦游者。
[08:06.30]He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man,
[08:08.96]据说他比其他任何人都更了解睡眠，
[08:11.62]and during the last thirty--five years
[08:13.95]在过去的35年里因观察别人睡眠
[08:16.27]has lost a lot of sleepwatching people sleep.
[08:18.80]而牺牲了自己相当多的睡眠时间。
[08:21.32]Says he,"of course,I know that there are sleepwalkers
[08:24.54]他说：“当然，因为在报纸上读到过报道
[08:27.77]because I have read about them in the newspapers.
[08:30.05]所以我知道有梦游者。
[08:32.34]But none of my sleepers ever walked,
[08:34.47]但从没有一个我的实验对象睡着时梦游。
[08:36.60]and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment,

[08:47.52]Sleepwalking, nevertheless, is a scientific reality.
[08:50.44]然而，梦游仍是一种科学的现实。
[08:53.37]It is one of those strange phenomena that sometimes border on the fantastic
[08:56.61]它是一种奇怪的现象，有时几乎令人难以置信。
[08:59.85]What is certain about sleep walkingis that it is a symptom of emotional disturbance,
[09:03.27]关于梦游，确定的一点是，它是一种情感波动不安的症状，
[09:06.69]and that the only way to cure

[09:22.86]Many sleepwalkers do not seek help and so are never put on record,
[09:25.94]很多梦游者不寻求医生的帮助，因而从不被列入记录，
[09:29.03]which means that an accurate count can never be made.
[09:31.51]这就意味着永远也不可能有一份准确的记录。
[09:33.99]The question is:Is the sleepwalker actually awake or asleep?
[09:37.31]问题是，梦游者实际上是清醒的还是仍在睡觉呢？
[09:40.62]Scientists have decided that he is about half-and-half.
[09:44.54]科学家们已经确定，他处于半梦半醒之间。
[09:48.46]Dr.Zelda Teplitz who made a ten-year study of the subject, says, "
[09:51.18]就此做了10年研究的泽尔达’泰普里兹大夫说：
[09:53.89]The sleepwalker is awake, in the muscular area,
[09:56.17]梦游者肌肉方面是清醒的，
[09:58.44]partially asleep in the sensory area.
[10:00.96]感官方面则处于部分睡眠状态。”
[10:03.48]"In otber words,a person can walk in his sleep,move around,and do other things
[10:07.71]换句话说，梦游者睡着时能行走，各处走动，做事，
[10:11.94]but he does not think about what he is doing.
[10:14.06]但并不思考正在做的事情。
[10:16.18]What are the chances of a sleepwalker committing a murder
[10:18.80]梦游者在睡眠中杀人
[10:21.43]or doing something else extraordinary in his sleep?
[10:23.71]或干出某种别的离奇的事的可能性有多大？
[10:26.00]Dr. Teplitz says,
[10:27.92]泰普里兹大夫说：
[10:29.84]"Most. people have such great inhibitions against murder or violence
[10:32.87]“很多人对杀人或暴力行为有很强的抑制力，所以如果没人把他们弄醒
[10:35.90]that they would awaken if someone didn\' t wake them up,\'
[10:38.24]他们自己尽职尽责会醒的。”
[10:40.57]In general, authorities on sleepwalking agree with her.
[10:43.30]一般说来，梦游方面的权威们同意她的说法。
[10:46.03]They think that peopie will not do anything in their sleepthat
[10:48.76]他们认为，人们不会在睡眠中
[10:51.49]is against their own moral standard.
[10:53.56]做违背自己道德标准的事。
[10:55.62]As for the publicized cases, Dr.Teplitz points out
[10:58.94]至于那些广为人知的例子，泰普里兹大夫说：
[11:02.26]Sleep.walking itself is dramatic...sleepwalkers can always find an audience
[11:05.94]“梦游本身就富有戏剧性，梦游者总是能找到一个听众。
[11:09.62]I think that some of their tall tales get exaggerated in the telling.
[11:12.59]我觉得他们讲述某些故事时，把它们夸大得荒诞不经。”
[11:15.55]"In her own records of case histories,
[11:17.58]在她自己所记录的案例中，
[11:19.60]there is not one sleepwalkerwho ever got beyond his own front door.
[11:22.68]没有一个梦游者常能超越自家房门以外。
[11:25.77]To protect themselves,some sleepwalkers have been known to tie themselves in bed,
[11:29.04]为了保护自己，据说一些梦游者把自己绑在床上，
[11:32.32]lock their doors,hide the keys, bolt the window,
[11:35.21]锁好大门，藏起钥匙，闩上窗户，
[11:38.10]and take all sorts of measures to wake themselves if they should get out of bed.
[11:41.18]如果他们真的下了床，也会用各种办法将自己弄醒。
[11:44.26]Curiously enough,
[11:45.84]十分奇怪，
[11:47.42]they have an unusual way of avoidlng their own trapswhen they sleepwalk,
[11:50.50]他们梦游时有非同寻常的方法，能躲过这些防范措施，
[11:53.59]so none of their tricks seem to work very well.
[11:55.96]因此这些窍门几乎均不奏效。
[11:58.34]Some sleepwalkers talk in their sleep loudly enough
[12:00.72]有些梦游者睡着里大声说话，
[12:03.10]to wake someone elsein the family
[12:04.92]声音大得能把家人吵醒，
[12:06.75]who can then shake them back to their senses.
[12:08.93]家人就能把他们晃醒，使他们恢复理智。
[12:11.12]Children who walk in their sleep usually outgrow the habit.
[12:13.64]梦游的孩子通常在长大后这个习惯自然消失。
[12:16.16]In many adults, too, thecondition is more or less temporary.
[12:19.12]对很多大人来说，发生梦游的情形或多或少是暂时的。
[12:22.09]If it happens often, however, the sleepwalker should seek help.
[12:25.06]但如果这事频频发生，梦游者还是应该寻求医生的帮助。
[12:28.04]Although sleepwalking itself is nothing to become alarmed about,
[12:30.86]尽管梦游行为本身并没有什么惊恐不安的，
[12:33.68]the problems that cause the sleepwalking may be very serious.
[12:36.35]但引发梦游的问题却可能非常严重。 大学英语自学教程上册 大学英语自学教程下册 大学英语自学 大学英语自学教程上册答案 大学英语自学网课 大学英语自学课程 大学英语教材pdf 大学英语教材第一册

[08:13.95]在过去的35年里因观察别人睡眠
[08:16.27]has lost a lot of sleepwatching people sleep.
[08:18.80]而牺牲了自己相当多的睡眠时间。
[08:21.32]Says he,"of course,I know that there are sleepwalkers
[08:24.54]他说：“当然，因为在报纸上读到过报道
[08:27.77]because I have read about them in the newspapers.
[08:30.05]所以我知道有梦游者。
[08:32.34]But none of my sleepers ever walked,
[08:34.47]但从没有一个我的实验对象睡着时梦游。
[08:36.60]and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment,

[08:47.52]Sleepwalking, nevertheless, is a scientific reality.
[08:50.44]然而，梦游仍是一种科学的现实。
[08:53.37]It is one of those strange phenomena that sometimes border on the fantastic
[08:56.61]它是一种奇怪的现象，有时几乎令人难以置信。
[08:59.85]What is certain about sleep walkingis that it is a symptom of emotional disturbance,

[09:22.86]Many sleepwalkers do not seek help and so are never put on record,
[09:25.94]很多梦游者不寻求医生的帮助，因而从不被列入记录，
[09:29.03]which means that an accurate count can never be made.
[09:31.51]这就意味着永远也不可能有一份准确的记录。
[09:33.99]The question is:Is the sleepwalker actually awake or asleep?
[09:37.31]问题是，梦游者实际上是清醒的还是仍在睡觉呢？
[09:40.62]Scientists have decided that he is about half-and-half.
[09:44.54]科学家们已经确定，他处于半梦半醒之间。
[09:48.46]Dr.Zelda Teplitz who made a ten-year study of the subject, says, "
[09:51.18]就此做了10年研究的泽尔达’泰普里兹大夫说：
[09:53.89]The sleepwalker is awake, in the muscular area,
[09:56.17]梦游者肌肉方面是清醒的，
[09:58.44]partially asleep in the sensory area.
[10:00.96]感官方面则处于部分睡眠状态。”
[10:03.48]"In otber words,a person can walk in his sleep,move around,and do other things
[10:07.71]换句话说，梦游者睡着时能行走，各处走动，做事，
[10:11.94]but he does not think about what he is doing.

[10:21.43]or doing something else extraordinary in his sleep?
[10:23.71]或干出某种别的离奇的事的可能性有多大？
[10:26.00]Dr. Teplitz says,
[10:27.92]泰普里兹大夫说：
[10:29.84]"Most. people have such great inhibitions against murder or violence
[10:32.87]“很多人对杀人或暴力行为有很强的抑制力，所以如果没人把他们弄醒
[10:35.90]that they would awaken if someone didn\' t wake them up,\'
[10:38.24]他们自己尽职尽责会醒的。”
[10:40.57]In general, authorities on sleepwalking agree with her.
[10:43.30]一般说来，梦游方面的权威们同意她的说法。
[10:46.03]They think that peopie will not do anything in their sleepthat
[10:48.76]他们认为，人们不会在睡眠中
[10:51.49]is against their own moral standard.
[10:53.56]做违背自己道德标准的事。
[10:55.62]As for the publicized cases, Dr.Teplitz points out
[10:58.94]至于那些广为人知的例子，泰普里兹大夫说：
[11:02.26]Sleep.walking itself is dramatic...sleepwalkers can always find an audience
[11:05.94]“梦游本身就富有戏剧性，梦游者总是能找到一个听众。
[11:09.62]I think that some of their tall tales get exaggerated in the telling.
[11:12.59]我觉得他们讲述某些故事时，把它们夸大得荒诞不经。”
[11:15.55]"In her own records of case histories,
[11:17.58]在她自己所记录的案例中，
[11:19.60]there is not one sleepwalkerwho ever got beyond his own front door.
[11:22.68]没有一个梦游者常能超越自家房门以外。
[11:25.77]To protect themselves,some sleepwalkers have been known to tie themselves in bed,
[11:29.04]为了保护自己，据说一些梦游者把自己绑在床上，
[11:32.32]lock their doors,hide the keys, bolt the window,
[11:35.21]锁好大门，藏起钥匙，闩上窗户，
[11:38.10]and take all sorts of measures to wake themselves if they should get out of bed.
[11:41.18]如果他们真的下了床，也会用各种办法将自己弄醒。
[11:44.26]Curiously enough,
[11:45.84]十分奇怪，
[11:47.42]they have an unusual way of avoidlng their own trapswhen they sleepwalk,
[11:50.50]他们梦游时有非同寻常的方法，能躲过这些防范措施，
[11:53.59]so none of their tricks seem to work very well.
[11:55.96]因此这些窍门几乎均不奏效。
[11:58.34]Some sleepwalkers talk in their sleep loudly enough
[12:00.72]有些梦游者睡着里大声说话，
[12:03.10]to wake someone elsein the family
[12:04.92]声音大得能把家人吵醒，
[12:06.75]who can then shake them back to their senses.
[12:08.93]家人就能把他们晃醒，使他们恢复理智。
[12:11.12]Children who walk in their sleep usually outgrow the habit.
[12:13.64]梦游的孩子通常在长大后这个习惯自然消失。
[12:16.16]In many adults, too, thecondition is more or less temporary.
[12:19.12]对很多大人来说，发生梦游的情形或多或少是暂时的。
[12:22.09]If it happens often, however, the sleepwalker should seek help.
[12:25.06]但如果这事频频发生，梦游者还是应该寻求医生的帮助。
[12:28.04]Although sleepwalking itself is nothing to become alarmed about,
[12:30.86]尽管梦游行为本身并没有什么惊恐不安的，
[12:33.68]the problems that cause the sleepwalking may be very serious.
[12:36.35]但引发梦游的问题却可能非常严重。 大学英语自学教程上册 大学英语自学教程下册 大学英语自学 大学英语自学教程上册答案 大学英语自学网课 大学英语自学课程 大学英语教材pdf 大学英语教材第一册
