Digestion Problems

消化问题

When the “fight or flight” response is in full swing, digestion comes to a standstill, because who cares about breakfast when you’re looking into a tiger’s mouth? The salivary glands in your mouth are part of your digestive system, so they too go through a temporary slowdown, producing little or no saliva. That’s what makes your mouth feel dry. You might also feel butterflies in your stomach as digestion comes to a halt.

当“战或逃”反应达到高潮时，消化系统会停止工作，毕竟当你注视着老虎的血盆大口时，谁还会关心早餐呢？口腔内的唾液腺是消化系统的一部分，所以它们也会经历短暂的缓冲，产生少量甚至不产生唾液。这就是你口干舌燥的原因。当消化系统停止工作时，你可能会感到胃里翻江倒海。

Cottonmouth, a pounding heart, and butterflies in the stomach can be a hassle, but there are some advantages to activation of the fight or flight response. You may feel more alert and energetic than usual, lending your performance a memorable flair.

口干舌燥，心跳加速，胃里翻江倒海，这些都是很麻烦的事情，不过激活“战或逃反应”还是有一定好处的。你可能会发觉自己比平时更加机警和精神抖擞，这能让你的表演给人留下深刻的印象。
