一位聽眾來信表示：
Dear A Moment of Science, I've heard that owning a dog or cat can be a good way to deal with stress and ward off depression.
親愛的《科學一刻》欄目組，我聽說養狗或養貓是對待壓力和預防抑郁的好方法。
So I was wondering–is it interacting with actual pets that's beneficial, or would just looking at pictures of cats and dogs work to curb stress?
所以我一直想知道，有益的是與真實的寵物互動嗎?或是只是看看貓貓狗狗的圖片就可以減少壓力呢?
Interesting question! Actually owning a pet is different from merely looking at pictures of cute puppies and kittens, certainly.
這是個有趣的問題。實際上，擁有寵物當然有別于只是看看可愛小狗或貓咪的圖片。
Stress relief has a lot to do with the companionship that real pets provide.
減壓與真實的寵物給我們的陪伴有很大關聯。
But one study showed that watching videos of animals can help reduce stress.
但是，一項研究顯示觀看動物視頻可以幫助人們減壓。
And according to the study by researchers in Japan, looking at pictures of cute animals does appear to help us focus and concentrate.
而且根據日本學者的這項研究，看可愛動物的圖片似乎可以幫助我們集中精神。
