Watching a horror film could burn off a whole bar of chocolate, according to new research released today.
根據(jù)今天發(fā)布的最新一項研究，看一部恐怖電影可以燃燒卡路里，消耗掉一整塊巧克力帶來的熱量。

Viewers who put themselves through 90 minutes of adrenaline-pumping terror can use up as much as 113 calories, close to the amount burned during a half-hour walk and the equivalent to a chocolate bar.
經(jīng)過90分鐘的驚嚇以及腎上腺素激增，觀眾可以消耗掉達113卡路里的熱量（相當(dāng)于一塊巧克力的熱量），基本接近于步行了半小時的效果。

The movie top of the list of calorie-burners was found to be the 1980 psychological thriller The Shining, with the average viewer using up a whopping 184 calories.
排在卡路里消耗排名首位的電影是1980年的心理驚悚片《閃靈》，平均消耗其觀眾的卡路里數(shù)高達184。

Jaws took the runner-up spot, with viewers burning on average 161 calories, and The Exorcist came third, with 158 calories.
《大白鯊》占據(jù)了亞軍寶座，平均消耗161卡路里，而《驅(qū)魔人》排在了第三，燃燒158卡路里。

The University of Westminster study measured the total energy expenditure of ten different people as they watched a selection of frightening movies.
威斯敏斯特大學(xué)的研究檢測了在觀看指定恐怖片時十個不同的人的卡路里的總消耗量。

Scientists recorded their heart rate, oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output - and discovered the number of calories used increased by on average a third during the films.
科學(xué)家們記錄了他們的心跳頻率，氧攝入量以及二氧化碳排放量，根據(jù)這些數(shù)據(jù)發(fā)現(xiàn)卡路里的消耗在觀看這些電影時平均有三分之一的增長。

The research also revealed films featuring moments designed to make viewers jump in terror are the best calorie-burners, as they cause heart rates to soar.
研究還表明，電影中一些設(shè)計好用來嚇唬觀眾的特定場景是最好的卡路里燃燒器，因為它們會導(dǎo)致心臟頻率飆升。

Dr Richard Mackenzie, senior lecturer and specialist in cell metabolism and physiology at the University of Westminster, said: "Each of the ten films tested set pulses racing, sparking an increase in the heart rate of the case studies.
理查德·麥肯齊博士是威斯敏斯特大學(xué)的高級講師，也是細(xì)胞代謝和生理方面的專家，他說：“經(jīng)過個案研究和測試，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這十部電影的每一部都會讓人血脈噴張，并且會引起心臟率的增加?！?/div>

"As the pulse quickens and blood pumps around the body faster, the body experiences a surge in adrenaline.
“由于脈搏提速，全身的血流變快，身體會經(jīng)歷腎上腺素激增的過程?！?/div>

"It is this release of fast acting adrenaline, produced during short bursts of intense stress (or in this case, brought on by fear), which is known to lower the appetite, increase the Basal Metabolic Rate and ultimately burn a higher level of calories."
“這個快速反應(yīng)的腎上腺素釋放產(chǎn)生于巨大壓力的短時爆發(fā)（或者說在這次測試中是由于恐懼所致），眾所周知，它會導(dǎo)致食欲降低，基礎(chǔ)代謝率增加，最終會消耗更高能量的卡路里?！?/div>

Helen Cowley, editor of the movie rental company LOVEFiLM - which commissioned the University of Westminster study - said: "We all know the feeling of wanting to hide behind the sofa or grab a pillow when watching scary or hair raising scenes, but this research suggests that maybe those seeking to burn some calories should keep their eyes on the screen."
?海倫·考利是電影租賃公司LOVEFiLM的編輯，他參與了威斯敏斯特大學(xué)的研究，他說：“我們都知道，在看到可怕得寒毛直豎的電影場景時，那種想要躲到沙發(fā)背后或者抓緊枕頭的感覺，但這項研究表明，如果你想燃燒卡路里減肥，就應(yīng)該一直盯著屏幕?！?/div>
