The Seventh Sense 第七感
From childhood, we are taught that the human body has five senses. I'm sure we can all recite them: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. This list has remained unchanged since the time of Aristotle. To most people, a "sixth sense" refers either to one outside the realm of the scientific, or one that simply does not exist in most humans.
年少的时候，我们就了解人类拥有五感。我确信每个人都能不假思索的解释五感:视觉，听觉，触觉，味觉和嗅觉。自从亚里斯多德时期以来，五感的解释一直没有改变。对于大多数人，“第六感”或者指非科学领域的感觉，或者指那些根本不存在的东西。
However, ask a neurologist how many senses the human body has, and you might get a surprising answer. Many identify nine or more senses- some listing as many as twenty-one. The first category of senses is the "special" senses, including the familiar sight, hearing, taste, and smell. The second category is made up of the somatic senses, which we usually lump under "touch"- including our perception of pressure, heat, and pain. The third category, however, is not nearly as well-known. These are the interoceptive senses- those that deal with data originating in the body itself.
但是如果你询问一个精神科医生人类拥有多少感觉，也许你会得到一个令你惊讶的回答。很多医生会告诉你9种感觉或者更多，更有甚者列出了21种。感觉的第一类范畴是一些特别的感觉，其中包括我们熟知的视觉，听觉，触觉，味觉和嗅觉。第二类包括身体外的感觉。比如对压力，热和痛苦的感觉。第三类大家并不了解。主要是指身体内部的感觉，如感知源于身体本身的一些情况。
It is fairly obvious what happens to a person when a sense fails. Many members of society are missing one or more senses. It is common knowledge that blindness is the absence of sight. Deafness, of hearing. Everyone knows what it's like to lose taste and smell as well; this loss accompanies every head cold. But what happens when the body loses knowledge of itself is a far stranger occurrence.
很清楚，当一个人失去某种感觉后，他会变成什么样子。社会上很多人失去了一种或者一种以上的感觉。这是一种常识，失明是指人失去视觉。聋是指失去听觉。同样人们也清楚失去味觉和嗅觉会怎么样，但是当一个人身体失去某些感觉后，他会变成什么样子?
