As Robert Palmer sang in the mid 80s, “You might as well face it, you’re addicted to love.” While that may or may not be true depending on who you are, it’s no secret that addiction is a common phenomenon.
80年代中期的羅伯特帕爾默曾經唱道：“承認吧，你已墜入愛河?！彪m然，這句歌詞的意思因人而異，但我們都知道，沉迷某事物或某人是個普遍現(xiàn)象。
Apart from serious addictions to drugs and alcohol, how many times have you heard someone claim that they’re absolutely addicted to chocolate? Or diet Coke. Or broccoli? Well, maybe not broccoli, but you get the point. But is it really possible to be a chocolate addict in the same way that someone might be addicted to drugs?
除了嚴重的毒癮和酒癮意外，你有多少次曾聽到有人說他們對巧克力十分上癮?或者說無糖可樂,或是花椰菜?也許不是花椰菜,但你知道我想說的是什么。對巧克力上癮真的會跟毒癮一樣嗎?
To answer that question we need to know what addiction is. Although the precise science of addiction is unclear, we do know that it involves the brain; addictive substances alter brain chemistry in such a way as to make the body crave more.
要解答這個問題，我們需要知道什么是上癮。雖然對上癮還沒有確切的定義，但我們都知道它跟大腦有關；上癮的東西會以某種方式改變腦化學，從而使人體產生對該物的渴望。
But what about chocolate? Several studies indicate that chocolate addiction is for real. Chocolate contains a number of addictive substances, including caffeine and cannabinoids, chemicals similar to the ones that make marijuana a potent drug. Further studies found not only that chocolate fats trigger the release of pleasure-causing substances in the brain, but that chocolate contains a chemical similar to amphetamine, a highly addictive drug.

Does this mean that anyone who eats enough chocolate will become addicted? No. Some people can eat all the chocolate they want and never get hooked. But chocolate does cause chemical changes in the brain that can result in a powerful craving. Chocolate addiction is nowhere near as potent or harmful as alcohol and drug addiction, of course. But if you find yourself unable to go through the day without at least one Hershey’s Kiss, it’s not just in your mind. You’re hooked.
難 道說任何吃過多巧克力的人都會上癮嗎？不是的。有些人可以想吃多少巧克力就吃多少而不上癮。但巧克力確實會引起大腦的化學變化，從而產生一種強烈的渴望。 對巧克力上癮可不是像毒癮和酒癮那樣對人體有害。但如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己一天不吃上一塊好時巧克力就不自在的話，不止是你腦中會這樣想，而是你確實是染上巧克力 癮了。
