Just a few hours ago, a U.S. federal panel unanimously rejected a drug to treat a condition called female sexual desire disorder.
就在數小時前，美國聯邦顧問委員會全數反對通過治療女性性功能障礙的藥物。

2
00:00:09.078 --> 00:00:15.738
Critics claimed drug companies simply created the condition to market a potentially profitable drug,
批評者表示藥廠僅為了推銷可能獲利的藥物，因此便創造了這種情況。

3
00:00:16.032 --> 00:00:21.471
but as senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen reports, for some, the problem is very real.
但是根據資深醫療特派員伊莉莎白．柯恩的報導，對於一些人而言，這項問題是非常真實的。

4
00:00:23.642 --> 00:00:26.936
A happy marriage, except for one thing.
幸福的婚姻，只有一件事不完美。

5
00:00:27.813 --> 00:00:31.279
So, you've been married for 20 years. And how often do you have intercourse?
所以，你已經結婚二十年了。那你多常做愛呢？

6
00:00:32.341 --> 00:00:34.620
Probably about once every three months I would say, yeah.
我想大概每三個月一次吧。這實在是令人沮喪。

7
00:00:36.148 --> 00:00:47.935
It's sad. It...you know, sometimes I think it would be better if I had never met my husband
這……你知道的，有時候我甚至覺得如果我沒有遇到我先生事情還會好一點，

8
00:00:48.812 --> 00:00:52.457
because he's such a wonderful guy, and he doesn't deserve this.
因為他實在是個很棒的人，所以他不應該受這種苦。

9
00:00:52.457 --> 00:00:55.837
Or I wonder if it would have just been better if he had met somebody else.
我有時也會覺得如果他遇到其他人，事情可能會好一點。

10
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.198
Why did CYNDI lose her libido?
為什麼辛蒂沒有性慾呢？

11
00:00:58.822 --> 00:01:04.788
To figure that out, Stanford University researchers put women in MRI machines just like I'm doing here.
為了找出答案，史丹佛大學研究員將女性放入核磁共振儀中，就像現在我做的一樣。

12
00:01:04.899 --> 00:01:07.170
Now here's the really interesting part.
現在這是相當有趣的部份。

13
00:01:07.546 --> 00:01:11.466
While these women with low libido were lying there in the MRI machines,
當這些性慾低落的女性躺在核磁共振儀中，她們實際上在看色情圖片，

14
00:01:11.739 --> 00:01:18.073
they were actually watching pornography, and the MRI was registering their brain's reaction.
而核磁共振儀正紀錄他們的大腦反應。

15
00:01:18.147 --> 00:01:24.979
I mean this is so graphic it's hard to imagine not having much of a reaction to it. 
我的意思是這是非常逼真的，所以實在很難想像她們會毫無反應。

16
00:01:25.106 --> 00:01:30.720
Yeah, but if your brain's working differently and you don't have, you know, enough of a certain neurotransmitter,
是的，但是如果你的大腦的運作方式不太一樣，而你沒有足夠的某樣神經介質，

17
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:34.756
then you're not going to react to it because you don't have the ability to react to it,
那麼你就不會有任何反應，因為你沒有能力做出反應，

18
00:01:34.756 --> 00:01:36.574
and that's what we found in the research study.
這便是我們在這項研究計畫中所發現的。

19
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:42.089
You can see here this is a difference between women with low libido, in the blue,
你可以在這看到其中不同之處，藍色的部份，是性慾低落的女性，

20
00:01:42.498 --> 00:01:45.451
and the yellow is women with normal libido.
而黃色的部份則是性衝動正常的女性。

21
00:01:45.877 --> 00:01:50.468
The women who had normal libidos, their brains tended to light up in this orange area.
有正常性衝動的女性，他們大腦內的這個橘色區塊會發亮。

22
00:01:50.604 --> 00:01:54.339
And this is an area where positive emotions are registered.
而這是顯示正面情緒的區塊。

23
00:01:54.339 --> 00:01:54.868
Exactly.
的確是。

24
00:01:54.952 --> 00:01:59.987
When you see these images, does that tell you it's not really their fault?
當你看到這些影像時，那是不是說這並不是她們的錯呢？

25
00:02:00.654 --> 00:02:07.747
In a lot of cases it's not. It absolutely can be a problem in their brain where they have this difference.
在很多的情況下都並非她們的錯。這完全是她們的大腦出了一些問題而造成了這樣子的不同。

26
00:02:08.357 --> 00:02:11.666
So, when you went to go see doctors about this initially, what were you told?
所以，當你最初因為這個情況去看醫生時，醫生告訴你什麼呢？

27
00:02:12.089 --> 00:02:16.596
Yeah, just, you know, relax, have some wine, you know, watch some porn.
是的，就是，你知道的，放輕鬆，喝點酒，看點色情片。

28
00:02:16.611 --> 00:02:17.422
Did any of that work?
那有任何幫助嗎？

29
00:02:18.380 --> 00:02:19.864
No, not really.
不，不太有幫助。

30
00:02:20.544 --> 00:02:23.319
Do you ever blame yourself for what's happened to you?
你有沒有因為發生在你身上的事而責備自己呢？

31
00:02:27.185 --> 00:02:31.080
I spent a lot of time, yeah, blaming myself. Did I do something wrong?
我花了很多時間，是的，責備我自己。我到底做錯了什麼？

32
00:02:31.829 --> 00:02:36.173
You know, there's that part of me that keeps hoping something, you know, will happen someday,
妳知道的，我總是希望某天某件事會發生，而我們將會知道到底發生什麼事，

33
00:02:36.173 --> 00:02:45.315
and that we'll know what's going on and how to fix it. It's a very sad part of our lives.
並且如何解決它。這是我們生活中非常沮喪的部份。

34
00:02:47.101 --> 00:02:53.226
Well, since the success of Viagra, the drug companies are not giving up to find an equivalent for women. 
因為威而剛的成功，藥廠因此並未放棄為女性發明一項相等物。
