Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned.
专家日前警告说,观看《阿凡达》这样的3D电影会让人感到头痛。
The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster, which has already taken more than $1 billion (£600 million) at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.
詹姆斯•卡梅隆的科幻大片《阿凡达》目前已创下超过10亿美元(6亿英镑)的惊人票房。该片的成功开启了3D电影和3D电视的新时代。
But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmology professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
但芝加哥西北大学费恩柏格医学院的眼科学教授迈克尔•罗森堡博士说,长时间观看3D电影可能会导致头痛。
He said: "There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally."
他说:“很多人的眼睛都有点小毛病,比如眼部肌肉轻微不平衡,在正常情况下大脑可以自然应对这种问题。”
Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience. "That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said.
观看3D电影会给观众带来一种全新的视觉体验。他说:“这就需要更多的脑力劳动,容易引起头痛。”
Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said: "If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert. This disparity for some people will give them a headache."
纽约罗彻斯特大学医学中心的眼科学和神经学教授戴伯拉•弗瑞德曼博士说:“如果你的眼睛本来就有点小问题,那么在观影时你的大脑就会相当费劲。这种失衡会让有些人感到头痛。”
Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.
专家说,现在尚无研究追踪调查人们在看完3D电影后感到头痛的情形究竟有多普遍。
Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before.
为影院提供3D设备的RealD公司的发言人瑞克•海涅曼说,3D技术一直未兴起的主要原因就是它会让观影者感到头痛和恶心。
But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads.
但他说,新的数码技术解决了以前导致头痛的很多问题。
