10. The Body/Mind Connection 身心關聯
Medical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effective--whether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the body's ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create.
對于心靈影響身體的各種方式，我們的醫學只是剛剛有所了解。比如說，安慰劑效應表明人有時候能通過相信治療有效來減輕癥狀和痛苦——不論治療是否真的有效。我們的身體能通過一系列我們至今知之甚少的過程來自我療救，其治愈能力遠比現代醫學所能創造的一切更加令人驚嘆。
