Why Does Crying Make Your Nose Run?
為什么哭泣時會流鼻涕?
When you burst out crying, you expect the bleary red eyes and the rivers of tears that stream down your cheeks.
當人們放聲大哭時,會出現紅腫而模糊的淚眼以及簌簌的淚水會順著面頰滑落。
But on top of all that, your nose starts to run like a faucet.
而最重要的是,鼻涕也會如打開的水龍頭般流個不停。
Why does this happen? What’s the connection between crying and a runny nose?
怎么會出現這種情況?哭泣與流鼻涕之間有何聯(lián)系呢?
Where Do Tears Come From?
眼淚從何而來?
Tears come from tear glands located just over the eye, behind the bone.
眼淚是由眼骨后面的淚腺分泌而成的。
As tears rinse down over your eye, they collect at the rims of your lower eyelids, where some may overflow and stream down your cheeks.
當淚水溢滿眼眶時,它們會聚集在下眼瞼邊緣,一部分眼淚會溢出眼眶沿臉頰流下。
But that’s not the only escape route for overflowing tears.
但那并不是眼淚流出來的唯一路線。
If you look very closely at the inside of your eyelid, right near your nose, you’ll see a tiny little hole.
如果仔細觀察眼瞼內側靠近鼻子的位置,你會看到一個微小的洞。
You might need to gently pull your eyelid down to see it, because it’s on the inner edge of the eyelid, resting against the eye.
你可能需要輕拉眼瞼才能看到,因為它位于靠近眼睛的眼瞼內側。
