Heavy metal music can be hazardous to your health—at least, in what appear to be rare circumstances.
重金屬樂可以對你的健康造成危害，至少在極少數的情況下會出現危險。

A 50-year-old fan who recently rocked out at a Motörhead concert developed bleeding in the brain that required surgical repair. He had celebrated the band’s signature fast tempo music by headbanging—that is, violently pitching his noggin to and fro in time to the music.
最近在摩托頭樂隊的演唱會上，一位50多樂迷跟著搖滾樂瘋狂搖頭，導致腦部出血，需要外科手術修復。他當時在用瘋狂的搖頭來慶祝該樂隊的標誌性快節奏音樂，合著音樂來回的猛烈的搖動他的頭。

A month after the concert, the man experienced an intense headache. Doctors found on the right side of his brain a chronic subdural hematoma: an injury where blood collects under the brain’s outer protective membrane. Surgeons fixed him up. The case study is in the journal The Lancet. [Ariyan Pirayesh Islamian, Manolis Polemikos and Joachim K. Krauss, Chronic subdural haematoma secondary to headbanging]
在演唱會後一個月，這個人感到頭痛很嚴重。醫生發現在他大腦的右側有慢性硬膜下血腫：受傷的地方是在大腦外部的保護膜收集血液的地方。外科醫生幫他進行了修復。這個病例研究被發表在《柳葉刀》醫學雜誌上。

Headbanging is usually considered relatively harmless, though it can cause whiplash or shorter-term head or neck pain. A follow-up scan of the Motörhead fan revealed that a benign cyst may have made him more vulnerable to brain injury than your standard heavy metal enthusiast.
儘管瘋狂搖頭可以引起頸部扭傷，短期頭痛和頸痛，但是它通常被認為是相對來說沒有傷害的。後續對該摩托頭樂隊的頭部掃描表明，一個良性囊腫可能使他比一般的重金屬樂愛好者更容易遭受腦損傷。

The study authors say devotees may maintain their headbanging habit, as such bleeds are so uncommon. Even more uncommon are brain injuries sustained at concerts featuring the music of Mozart, Mahler or even Rachmaninoff.

研究人員表示鑒於這樣的腦部出血很少見，那些愛好者們可能會繼續維持他們的瘋狂搖頭習慣。更罕見的是，頭部損傷持續不斷的在莫札特，馬勒，甚至拉赫瑪尼諾夫等音樂會中出現。——Dina Fine Maron。
