姑娘们看过来：经常自拍可能引发“自拍肘”（双语）

　　Like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow, an addiction to selfie-taking can cause a pain in your primary pic-snapping elbow, a media report said.

　　一份医学报告指出，就像网球肘或高尔夫球肘一样，自拍成瘾会使你主要用于自拍的肘部疼痛。

　　Be warned if you are an avid selfie-taker since capturing that perfect selfie can put you at risk of developing “selfie elbow” which is slowly becoming a real medical condition.

　　如果你热衷于自拍，那你得小心了，因为要拍出那张完美的自拍照会将你置于患上“自拍肘”的危险之中，而这已慢慢成为一个真正的医学问题。

　　When you take the picture, your arm is up, bent in a weird way and you just click, click, click — think about how many you take: 20, 30, or 40. Selfie elbow, everyone has it.

　　当你拍照的时候，你举起手臂，并以一种怪异的方式弯曲着，然后，你就点、点、点——想想你拍了多少：20、30或40张。自拍肘，人人都深受其害。

　　The doctor recommended icing the elbow and certain exercises to help relieve the soreness.

　　医生指出，冰敷一下肘部，并进行一定的锻炼有助于缓解疼痛。

　　You get selfie elbow from taking too many selfies, as you put too much stress on the muscle and it irritates the area where the muscle comes off the bone and you get this inflammatory response.

　　自拍过度而患上自拍肘，是因为你在肌肉上施加了过多的压力，这会刺激肌肉与骨骼连接的部位，进而引发炎症。

　　The condition can be treated by taking pain relievers like Advil or Motrin for the inflammation and putting on some ice as well as stretching the muscles.

　　使用艾德维尔或布洛芬一类的止痛药可以缓解炎症，另外，冰敷一下肘部并伸展肌肉也可以治疗这类病症。

　　Maybe, people should alternate their arms — start spreading the load.

　　也许，人们应该交替使用手臂，分散一下负担。

　　从玩游戏、聊天到自拍、发短信、玩推特，与过去相比，青少年受到的伤害显著增加。

　　For those who are dedicated selfie-takers, using a selfie stick can work like an arm extender and takes the pressure off the elbow.

　　对于那些热衷自拍的人来说，他们可以把自拍杆当成一个手臂延长器来缓解肘部压力。
