世界十大灵异神秘的未解之谜(组图)

※奇闻提要:   地球是个神秘莫测的所在，日常的许多灵异事物至今还是未解之迷!

　　The Earth is a mysterious place. There is much going on around us every day that goes unexplained. For all our advanced technology and scientific understanding, there are ten perplexing events for hich e have no ansers.
　　地球是个神秘莫测的所在，周遭日常的许多事物至今仍然没有解释。我们有那么多先进技术和科学知识，却还是不能为以下十件让人困惑的事情找到答案。

　　

      10. The Body/Mind Connection 身心关联
　　Medical science is only beginning to understand the ays in hich the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effective--hether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the body's ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create.
　　对于心灵影响身体的各种方式，我们的医学只是刚刚有所了解。比如说，安慰剂效应表明人有时候能通过相信治疗有效来减轻症状和痛苦――不论治疗是否真的有效。我们的身体能通过一系列我们至今知之甚少的过程来自我疗救，其治愈能力远比现代医学所能创造的一切更加令人惊叹。

　　9. Psychic poers and ESP 灵力与超感知觉
　　Psychic poers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so idespread. Many people believe that intuition is a form of psychic poer, a ay of aessing arcane or special knoledge about the orld or the future. Researchers have tested people ho claim to have psychic poers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic poers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science ill never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic poers.
　　对灵力和超感知觉（简称ESP）的信仰流布甚广，就凭这一点，这两样东西也应该进入十大未解之谜的行列。许多人相信，直觉就是灵力的一种表现形式、一种获取有关世界或未来的特异知识的方法。研究人员已经对一些自称拥有灵力的人进行了测试，迄今为止，他们在受控实验室条件下得到的都还是否定或含糊的结果。有些人辩称灵力不可测试，因为它会因怀疑论者或科学家的在场而莫名其妙地减弱。如果这是真的，科学就永远无法证明或驳斥灵力的存在。

　　8. Near-Death Experiences and Life After Death 濒死体验与死后生活
　　People ho ere once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light, being reunited ith loved ones, a sense of peace, etc.) that may suggest an existence beyond the grave. While such experiences are profound, no one has returned ith proof or verifiable information from "beyond the grave." Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as natural and predictable hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no ay to kno ith certainty hat causes near-death experiences, or if they truly are visions of "the other side."
　　曾经濒临死亡的人有时会宣称自己有各式各样的神奇体验（比如进入一条隧道、出现在光之中、与亲爱的人重聚、获得一种平静感，如此等等），这样的体验也许暗示着人死后有知。，尽管这些体验让人刻骨铭心，但却没有人从“坟墓那边”带回过什么证据或是可资验证的信息。怀疑论者的看法是，濒死体验可以解释，是受损大脑可以预期的自然幻觉。，我们还是不能确切知道濒临体验的来由，也无法知道它们是否真的是“那边”的景象。
