什麼是斯湯達爾症候群?

Stendhal syndrome, Stendhal's syndrome, Hyperkulturemia, or Florence syndrome, is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place.

斯湯達爾症候群[英文有4個名] 是1種身體和心理上失調的疾病[即精神病即]，導致患者在1個地方見到大量或1些太美麗的藝術品時候會心跳加速、頭暈目眩、慌亂甚至出現幻覺。

The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when confronted with immense beauty in the natural world.

這個症候群亦可用作形容1些人在某個太大面積的環境下而有相同的反應(例如在無邊無際的大自然)

It is named after the famous 19th century French author Stendhal (pseudonym of Henri-Marie Beyle), who described his experience with the phenomenon during his 1817 visit to Florence, Italy in his book Naples and Florence: A Journey from Milan to Reggio.

這種病是以19世紀法國作家斯湯達爾命名，他曾在自己的書中(Naples and Florence: A Journey from Milan to Reggio.)詳述在1817年造訪文藝復興發源地佛羅倫薩時，自己也出現過上述徵狀。

Although there are many descriptions of people becoming dizzy and fainting while taking in Florentine art, especially at the Uffizi, dating from the early 19th century on, the syndrome was only named in 1979, when it was described by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini, who observed and described more than 100 similar cases among tourists and visitors in Florence. The syndrome was first diagnosed in 1982.[citation needed]

雖然很多個案指有人佛看羅倫斯的藝術品時候會頭暈但直至1979年，1名意大利心理學家綜合了百多個類似的佛羅倫薩遊客個案，將之稱為「斯湯達爾症候群」。首單診斷個案為斯湯達爾症候群是在1982年。

The term is often used when describing the reactions of audiences to music of the Romantic period.
