Emotional Reaction to Music

音樂的情緒反應

No matter who you are, where you live, or what your cultural background is, people get some pleasure from listening to their favorite music. However, some people are simply not capable of enjoying music. This is not because they can't experience pleasure at all. They don't have trouble hearing music properly, either. Instead, they're just indifferent to music. Researchers have conducted studies to find out why some people have no emotional reaction to music. However, despite their efforts, the mystery remains.

無論是何身份，住處，或者文化背景，人們聽到喜歡的音樂都會心情舒暢。然而，有些人就是沒辦法欣賞音樂。這並不是因爲他們完全不能體會快樂，也不是因爲不能聽音樂。而是他們對音樂不敏感。研究者們做了很多研究，想要探究爲什麼有些人對音樂不能產生情感上的反應。然而，無論他們做多少工作，還是解不開謎團。
