  The sounds of relaxation1 聆听大自然中令人放松的声音
  忙碌的现代生活有时会伴随各种压力,因此人们常常寻找放松、解压的方式。本期 “随身英语” 节目聊一聊鸟叫等自然中的声音给心理健康带来的积极影响。
  词汇:relaxing sounds 令人放松的声音
  In a fast-paced world, where stress and mental fatigue2 seem commonplace, we're constantly looking for new ways to unwind. Some people take a hot bath, watch a film, go for a run, or listen to slower tempo3 music to help them relax. But what about the chirrups and whistles of birdsong or other nature sounds? Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life?
  According to a study by King's College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds chirping4 and warbling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it's not just birds that could have a therapeutic6 effect on our moods. Another study commissioned by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation7 apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds like leaves crunching9 underfoot or the gentle trickle10 of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than an app. Other sounds which may help to chill people out are waves lapping on the shore, gentle breezes, and light rainfall.
  However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to research by California Polytechnic11 State University, even a recording12 of the sounds of birds had a profound effect on people's mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their wellbeing.
  So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature, be it during a stroll through a wood or via some headphones. And maybe listening to the chirps13, trills, warbles and whistles of some birds could help you to relax after a long, hard day.
