基础英语轻松学【72】享受“恐怖”的乐趣

　　本课您将学到：scare to death（吓死了！），句型play games with sb（耍花招）

　　过山车，恐怖电影所有这些你都乐在其中。为什么你会喜欢惊吓的感觉呢？

　　Fear can be fun. Many young people queue up to ride very fast and scary roller coasters（过山车）, screaming but enjoying themselves. Other people like to read goose bumps books or watch horror（恐怖） movies at night, scared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being scared?

　　One reason is that we can play games with fear, find ways to reduce the scariness（恐惧感） by looking away or thinking of something else. To believe we have control over a situation gives us a feeling of power. Scary movies or novels are good practice to prepare young people for the real thing. Thrills（引人兴奋的事物） such as roller coaster rides also go to the brains pleasure center.

　「读书笔记」

　　不同地区的英文会有一些差别，像排队﹐北美作line up ﹐在英国则作queue up ，排队去做什么就是Queue up （for something）。例如：

　　We queued up for the bus.

　　我们排队等候公共汽车。

　　恐惧也可以给人带来乐趣。（Fear can be fun）有很多年轻人乐意花时间排队等候（Many young people queue up）乘坐高速、惊险的过山车, （to ride very fast and scary roller coasters）惊声尖叫的同时却享受着另一番乐趣。（screaming but enjoying themselves）另一些人则喜欢在深夜里读恐怖小说或看恐怖电影，（Other people like to read goose bumps books or watch horror movies at night）尽管看得毛骨悚然，（scared to death）还是乐此不疲。（but feeling excited）人们为什么喜欢这种被惊吓的感觉呢？（Why do people like being scared?）
