Here’s the scene. The audience is waiting with bated breath, you’re just about to give a speech, and suddenly you notice your mouth is dry as sawdust. You haven’t said a word yet! Why did you get cottonmouth before you even began?
以下面場景為例。觀眾在屏息等待，而你正準備發表演講，突然你發現嘴巴干得像木屑一樣。你一句話都還沒說！為什么還沒開口就口干舌燥？
Fight or Flight
戰或逃反應
The dry mouth that, for many people, goes along with public speaking or performance is connected to the “fight or flight” response. When you’re nervous or afraid, the nervous system slows down all the body processes that aren’t necessary for your immediate survival, and amps up the ones that just might save your life-that is, if you’re about to be attacked by a predator like a tiger or a bear.
對許多人來說，進行公眾演講或表演時產生的口干舌燥與“戰或逃”反應有關。當你感到緊張或害怕時，神經系統會自動減慢所有不影響你當下生存問題的身體活動，加速那些可能拯救你生命的活動——也就是說，如果遇到即將被老虎或熊等捕食者攻擊的這種情況。
As the “fight or flight” response kicks in, your heart rate goes up and more blood goes to your heart and major muscle groups, so you can make a quick getaway, or grab a big stick.
當“戰或逃”反應激活時，你的心率會上升，更多的血液會流向心臟和主要的肌肉群，這樣你就可以快速逃離，或者抓起一根棍子自衛。
