Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear.
快乐、悲伤、愤怒、厌恶和恐惧。
Paul Eckman defined six universal emotions in the 1970’s, including Surprise on the list, and was named as one of the 100 most influential people of the 21st century for this work on emotions as universal categories, as well as the co-discovery of micro expressions.
保罗·埃克曼（Paul Eckman）在20世纪70年代定义了六种普遍情绪，包括列表中的惊喜，并被评为21世纪100位最具影响力的人之一，因为这项工作将情感作为普遍类别，以及微观表达式的共同发现。
This came as no news to empaths, that particular breed of human endowed with the ability to step into the shoes of others and understand their feelings and perspectives.
这对移情者來說不是新聞，移情者是特殊的人，被賦予了站在他人的立場上，理解他們的感受和觀點的能力。
Unless these shoes are Crocs. Not even the empath would step into a pair of Crocs.
除非这双鞋是鳄鱼皮鞋。 即使是移情者也不会踏入一双Crocs。
If anxiety is worry on steroids, empathy is the black hole of emotions. Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong, nothing; not particles, not radiation, not light itself, can escape.
如果焦慮是類固醇的擔憂，那麼同理心就是情感的黑洞。 黑洞是引力如此之强的时空区域，任何粒子、辐射、光本身都无法逃脱。
Empaths perceive the emotions of others, not to mention their own, with the same galactic force, and if not careful, also absorb them.
移情者以同样的银河力量感知他人的情绪，更不用说他们自己的情绪了，如果不小心，也会吸收它们。
My children call it witchery. Perhaps that’s why they are so guileless and beautiful; they know better than to try to hide the feelings that flower on their faces. There’s no point. I always know whodunnit, or who needs hugs, or who’s about to go into orbit.
我的孩子们称它为巫术。 也许这就是为什么他们如此无所事事和美丽；他们更清楚，而不是试图隐藏脸上的感情。 没有意义的。 我總是知道誰是誰，或者誰需要擁抱，或者誰即將進入軌道。
For empaths, this recognition of the facial expressions that occur in 1/25th of a second, is second nature. Reading these micro expressions, tone of voice, word choice, and silences with disturbing ease is the empaths gift and affliction. We can see your six basic emotions and raise you a hundred.
对于移情者来说，这种对1/25秒内出现的面部表情的识别是第二天性。 以令人不安的轻松阅读这些微观表情、语气、措辞和沉默是移情者的天赋和痛苦。 我们可以看到你的六种基本情绪，并把你养一百个。
Indeed, Eckman himself expanded his list of universal emotions in the late 1900’s to include: Amusement, Contempt, Contentment, Embarrassment, Excitement, Guilt, Pride in achievement, Relief, Satisfaction, Sensory pleasure and Shame.
事实上，埃克曼本人在20世纪末扩大了他的普遍情绪清单，包括：娱乐、蔑视、满足、尴尬、兴奋、内疚、成就的骄傲、解脱、满足、感官愉悦和羞耻。
Again, the empath can read these and fifty more shades of feeling, no matter how convoluted and obtuse the cocktail of these basic human responses may be.
同样，移情者可以读懂这些以及五十种感觉的阴影，无论这些基本人类反应的鸡尾酒多么复杂和晦涩。
Armed with an ability to read others like click bait, one empath, John Koenig, set about naming the obscure emotions that otherwise leave us speechless.
一位移情者John Koenig拥有像点击诱饵一样读懂他人的能力，他开始说出那些晦涩难懂的情绪，否则这些情绪让我们无言以对。
One of his words, “Sonder,” or “the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own”, has found its way into the popular lexicon.
他的一句话“Sonder”，或“意识到每个随机的路人都过着像你自己一样生动和复杂的生活”，已经进入了流行的词汇。
Koenig’s book “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” (Simon &Schuster, 2021) is stuffed with words rescued or repurposed or fabricated with prefixes and suffixes and a little elixir of etymological magic.
Koenig的《晦涩悲伤词典》（Simon &Schuster，2021年）一书充满了用前缀和后缀拯救或重新利用或捏造的单词，以及一点词源魔法的长生不老药。
For the empath, naming the unnamable may be just the thing to level-up.
对于移情者来说，给不可命名的人命名可能只是升级的事情。
From Mandarin, the word Yuyi; the longing to be young again will come in handy as winter rolls round and I go into my cave, yearning for the youthful and carefree days of summer. For those of you who are literally humming with desire for the heat of summer to pass, Austice; a wistful omen of the first sign of autumn, a subtle coolness in the shadows, a rustling of dead leaves abandoned on the sidewalk, or a long skein of geese sweeping over your head like the second hand of a clock. And Lilo; a friendship that can lie dormant for years only to pick right back up instantly, as if no time had passed since you last saw each other.
来自普通话，Yuyi这个词；当冬天卷而来时，渴望再次年轻会派上用场，我走进我的洞穴，渴望夏天的年轻和无忧无虑的日子。 对于那些真正渴望夏天的炎热而哼唱的人，Austice；秋天的第一个征兆头的暎��感，阴影中微妙的凉爽，人行道上的枯叶沙沙作响，或者像时钟的秒针一样扫过你的头顶的长鹅。 还有Lilo；这种友谊可以沉睡多年，但会立即恢复，就好像你们上次见面以来没有多长时间。
Useful, right? I can think of a couple of lilo’s I am ready to pick up right now.
有用，对吧？ 我能想到几个Lilo，我现在准备去拿。
Scientists attribute heightened awareness and oftentimes, absorption of the emotions, to mirror neurons. Discovered in 1996 by Italian scientists Giacomo Rizzolatti and Vittorio Gallese and their team with brain imaging technology, monkeys, and a banana. Their studies proved that “certain cells in the monkey’s brain activated when a monkey performed an action and when the monkey watched another monkey perform that same action”, reported Psychology Today in 2019. Intersubjectivity also relies on these magical psychic neurons to create shared understanding, as The Nanjinger wrote in April of this year.
科学家将意识的提高和通常对情绪的吸收归因于镜像神经元。 1996年由意大利科学家Giacomo Rizzolatti和Vittorio Gallese及其团队用脑成像技术、猴子和香蕉发现。 据《今日心理学》2019年报道，他们的研究表明，“当猴子执行一项动作和猴子观看另一只猴子执行相同的动作时，猴子大脑中的某些细胞会被激活”。 正如《南京人》今年4月所写的那样，相互主观性还依赖于这些神奇的心理神经元来创造共同的理解。
Not only do empaths possess hyperresponsive mirror neurons, there is also a growing body of evidence to suggest that the insula, a small nugget buried deep within the cerebral cortex responsible for emotional cognition, is structurally different in empaths; primed to process emotions at light speed, revealed Frontiersin back in 2013. As a brain architecture nerd, the neuroscientific explanations for these heightened emotional receptors, though fascinating, is less interesting that the ways in which empathy is changing the world.
移情者不仅拥有反应过度的镜像神经元，而且越来越多的证据表明，岛，一个埋在大脑皮层深处的负责情绪认知的小金块，在移情者的结构上是不同的；Frontiersin在2013年透露，它以光速处理情绪。 作为一个大脑结构书呆子，对这些情绪受体增强的神经科学解释虽然令人着迷，但不如同理心改变世界的方式有趣。
And my favourite, nodus tollens; the realisation that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore, that although you thought you were following the arc of the story, you keep finding yourself immersed in passages you don’t understand, that don’t even seem to belong in the same genre.
我最喜欢的是，nodus tollens；意识到你生活的情节对你来说不再有意义了，虽然你认为你在遵循故事的弧线，但你一直发现自己沉浸在你不理解的段落中，这些段落似乎甚至不属于同一类型。
Tell me you haven’t experienced nodus tollens these past couple of years, seriously. I want to know who you are.
告诉我，在过去的几年里，你没有经历过结节，说真的。 我想知道你是谁。
Koenig has spent the last 12 years cataloging these neologisms on his blog, “Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows”, and his book will be released in November of this year. He writes of “the power of words to make us feel less alone,” which, in the midst of nodus tollens, is a small but very welcome comfort.
Koenig在过去的12年里一直在他的博客“晦涩悲伤词典”上对这些新词进行编目，他的书将于今年11月出版。 他写道：“文字的力量让我们感到不那么孤独”，在nodus tollens中，這是一種微小但非常值得歡迎的安慰。
There is room enough in one heart to feel such things, but without a name, these emotions remain obscure, unknowable to conscious self, floating like ghost feelings at the edges of the event horizon.
一颗心有足够的空间去感受这些东西，但没有名字，这些情绪仍然晦涩难懂，有意识的自我无法知道，像幽灵一样漂浮在事件地平线的边缘。
Naming the thing, the emotion, the concept, has a power beyond words. It is only through language that we can conceptualise the feeling.
命名事物、情感、概念，具有超越语言的力量。 只有通过语言，我们才能将感觉概念化。
We are stardust.
我们是星尘。
We are all that has gone before us. We are Shakespeare and Rumi and Plato and Joyce. We are ourselves reimagined an infinity of times.
我们都是我们面前的一切。 我们是莎士比亚、鲁米、柏拉图和乔伊斯。 我们自己被重新想象了无数次。
What is déjà vu but the serendipitous alignment of soul fragments, stardust reimagined, redreamed into life, into mind?
什么是似曾相识，除了灵魂碎片的偶然排列，星尘被重新想象，重新梦想成生活，进入心灵？
Words are magic. They are maps to the soul. The more precise the word, the more precise the understanding. The more precise the understanding, the greater the insight. The greater the insight, the deeper the empathy.
言语是神奇的。 它们是灵魂的地图。 单词越精确，理解就越精确。 理解越精确，洞察力就越大。 洞察力越大，同理心就越深。
Being an emotional sponge is tricky until you get the hang of it. But ultimately, seeing and understanding the feelings of the person in front of you is the first step towards authentic connection, compassion and comprehension.
在你掌握它之前，做一个情绪海绵是很棘手的。 但归根结底，看到并理解眼前的人的感受是迈向真正联系、同情心和理解的第一步。
And although life may ultimately be one long sonderlust; to be seen, to be heard, to be accepted can make the whole venture less terrifying.
尽管生活最终可能是一次漫长的渴望；被看到、被听到、被接受可以使整个冒险不那么可怕。
