　　The power of words becomes clear after listening to a powerful speech that leaves you feeling inspired, or when a moving passage from a novel brings tears to your eyes. But when it comes to causing pain, the power of words may still be vastly underestimated (低估).

　　Kids who are always laughed at and called names can develop low self-respect and may grow up to be angry adults.

　　“Hurtful words can haunt (萦绕) you all your life and may lead to heart disease, depression, stress,” said W. Penn Handwerker, a medical anthropologist. Not surprisingly, those that have the most effect are words that come from people we admire or who have some power over our lives : teachers, wives/ husbands, parents and friends.

　　Studies have found verbal assaults (攻击) are even more painful than physical ones. “A bruise can eventually disappear, but words can hurt your soul. Words create fear and contain the promise of future violence. The emotional effect on victims can range from low-level anxiety to great fear,” said Stephen Wessler, director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Hate Violence at the University of Southern Maine.
