16. Odontophobia – fear of dentists
牙医恐惧症——害怕牙医
A trip to the dentist probably isn’t going to make most people’s ‘top 10 things I love to do’ list, but most of us can put up with it with just a mild feeling of unease. Some people, however, have such a strong reaction that they are unable to attend the dentist even when in dire need. If you’ve ever had the unfortunate experience of a painful cavity you can get an idea of just how intense this fear can be when a person would rather live with that pain then take a trip to the dentist’s chair.
相信很多人都不是很喜欢看牙医,但即便不舒服,大部分人也还能忍受。但有些人却非常抗拒,宁死也不愿去看牙医。如果你曾经历拔牙的切肤之痛,或许就能理解这种恐惧到底有多深:害怕看牙医的人宁愿一辈子忍受牙痛折磨也不愿送上门去。
17. Telephonophobia – fear of telephones
电话恐惧症——害怕电话
The fear of using the telephone can develop to the point where the sufferer panics even when hearing the sound of a ringtone. This fear of receiving a call can lead to an oversensitivity to noises and auditory hallucinations. And it’s not just the sound – setting the phone to vibrate doesn’t help, and the sufferer will instead imagine their pocket is vibrating even when it’s completely still. This is known as phantom vibration syndrome. It must be very difficult to live with this in an age of mobile phones, where calls can follow you wherever you go.
