编辑点评：恐惧症是以恐怖症状为主要临床表现的神经症。所害怕的特定事物或处境是外在的，尽管当时并无危险。恐怖发作时往往伴有显著的植物神经症状。当事人极力回避所害怕的处境，恐惧反应与引起恐惧的对象极不相称，他本人也知道害怕是过分的、不应该的或不合理的，但并不能防止恐怖发作。
it could be spiders. it could be mice. it could even be people. what are you scared of? today we’re looking at phobias-the things that people are scared of.
有人怕蜘蛛，有人怕老鼠，甚至有人还怕人。你怕什么呢？今天，我们来关注一下恐惧症，看看人们都怕哪些事物。
and i can’t stand mice. they just make me want to scream.
我怕老鼠，看到老鼠我就想尖叫。
snakes. i have a fear of snakes. i just don’t like them. i know they’re not particularly dangerous but i just don’t like the way they move and i know they’re not slimybut just do not like them at all. i’ve always hated them. that’s the only thing i’m really afraid of.
