Have you ever gone to see some comedian and thought, man, that guy is nuts!
你是否曾經看到過一些喜劇演員便想這人可真是個瘋子！
So in my head, I'm like, well I'm clearly going to be being chased by mutants on motorcycles.
所以在我的腦海里，我就像是，好吧，我很清楚我將要被機車上的變態追趕了。
Well, you may have hit the nail on the head.
好吧，你還能說得更一針見血一些的。
Because new research finds that comedians show high levels of psychotic personality traits.
因為一項新的研究發現喜劇演員們顯示出比較高的精神病癥患者的特質。
The study appears in The British Journal of Psychiatry.
這項研究已在《精神病學雜志》上發表。
Creativity is often associated with mental health issues.
創造力常和精神健康相關聯。
Think Edgar Allan Poe, Vincent Van Gogh, Michael Jackson.
想想德加愛倫坡，文森特凡高，邁克爾杰克遜。
But what about comedians?
但跟喜劇演員有何關系？
Psychologists gave more than 500 funnymen a personality test that assesses traits associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
心理學家對500多名滑稽喜劇演員們進行了人格測試，用于評估他們人格特征與精神分裂癥以及雙相型障礙這兩種心理疾病之間的相關性。
And they found that the comics score higher than uncreative types, and even higher than actors, on a range of psychotic traits, including fear of intimacy, impulsive behavior, difficulty focusing and a belief in the paranormal.
他們發現 喜劇演員們得分比創造力不是很強的人高，比一般演員高更多， 分數處于精神病癥性格類型的范圍內，比如包括害怕親密，行為沖動，精神難集中并且相信超感奇異之事等。
The data doesn't mean that all comedians are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
該數據并不意味著所有的喜劇演員都是如此瘋狂。
But these psychotic tendencies may actually help promote lateral thinking and an ability to connect far-fetched ideas to come up with comical conclusions.
但他們這些精神病傾向的性格也許真的有助于促進他們的橫向思維以及將不找邊際的想法和思考喜劇的效果相聯系的能力。
That abiding belief in the coming Road Warrior wasteland, that's the reason I tried to go off my meds.
對于未來荒蠻戰士之路亙古不變的信念，就是我放棄吃藥治療的原因。
