有些人比其他人更容易哭的真相
Find yourself sniffling over a cute puppy video? For some, crying isn't a rare occurrence. The tears can flow for seemingly no reason at all, and although people may accuse you of being too sensitive, experts say there may be an actual scientific reason why you're more tearful than your dry-eyed friends.
你是否看着一個可愛小狗的視頻而抽泣？對一些人來說，哭並不是罕見的事。眼淚可以沒有任何理由地流下，儘管有人會指責你太敏感了，但專家認爲更容易流淚的背後或許是有科學原因的。
There isn't a definitive reason as to why some of us cry more than the average person, but experts point to a range of factors including gender and whether a person may have experienced trauma in their past. Men are predisposed to avoid crying, since doing so can interfere with the way peers perceive them.
對於爲何有些人比普通人更容易流淚，並沒有一個確切的原因，但是專家指出了一系列的原因，包括性別和這個人是否在過去經歷過一些創傷。男人更傾向於避免流淚，因爲流淚會改變同伴對他的看法。
And while it's true that some women are more prone to waterworks during that time of the month, other factors that may come into play include birth control pills and hormonal fluctuations that can occur around menopause.
另外，儘管女人確實會在每個月的那幾天裏更容易流淚，其他原因或許也有一定的影響，比如避孕藥和經絕期的荷爾蒙波動。
Of course it's also no surprise that if you're bogged down at work and aren't getting enough sleep, that can also play into why your tear ducts are working in overdrive. The solution? Make sure you're getting eight hours of sleep at night and try meditation or yoga to bring stress levels down.
當然，如果你事業陷於泥沼或睡眠不足，也可以導致你的眼淚輸送管超速傳動。那解決措施呢？保證每天八小時的睡眠並嘗試冥想或瑜伽來降低你的壓力水平。
But even if you do end up weeping a little too often, don't fret. According to a article, "past studies have found that crying can have soothing, mood-boosting effects."
但即使你沒有減少流淚的次數，也不要焦慮。根據一篇的文章，“過去的研究發現流淚可以起到撫慰心靈，振奮情緒的作用。”
If your crying is becoming a persistent problem though, talk to your doctor as it may be a sign of depression.
但如果流淚已經成爲一個持久的問題，最好去看一下醫生因爲這也許是抑鬱症的前兆。
