【Transcript】
In a recent study, scientists observed that when the participants felt rejected, the flow of blood increased to the area of their brain known as the anterior cingulated cortex. This same area has been associated with the emotional response to unpleasant physical pain.
so you are saying that the same part of the brain apparently responds to both physical bruises and bruised feelings.
See, no wonder I hurt so much!
Ok, so what does scientist think this means?
well, for one thing. This may signal that the need for social connections is as strong as the need to stay out of physical harm.
For mammals, apparently, being excluded from a group can be dangerous, even deadly. I mean, evolutionarily speaking, living and working in a group is a key component of how well humans have managed to survive.
so I guess this means we have to stop dismissing emotional pain as something imaginary.
Yeah, and the next step might be to test whether the extent to which you feel comfortable socially helps lessen the pain of rejection.

【中文译文】
在最近的一项研究中，科学家们发现当人们感到绝望的时候，血液会流动到他们大脑的前扣带皮层。这个地方是人们感觉生理上的疼痛时情感的反应。
因此，你或许会说，当人们生理和心理受伤害的时候，大脑的反映是一样的。看，怪不得我们这么痛。
那么，科学家们是怎么看待的呢？
一方面，这说明了，人们在社会关系上的需求和让身体免于受伤害的需求是一样的。
对哺乳动物来说，和群体分开是危险的，甚至是致命的。我是说，从进化的角度来说，群体中生活和工作是成功活下去的关键。
因此，我猜我们不能把情感上的伤当成是虚构的，不存在的。
那么，接下来，咱们就要讨论，是不是我们一定程度上的快乐可以减轻我们身体上的痛楚了。

我们来看看这句话的结构，这个句子是个，宾语从句，主句是“the next step might be test”,whether引导的从句作test的宾语，而这个宾语从句本身，又包含一个由“which”引导的非限制性定语从句，来修饰“extent程度”。
