Scientists are developing a pill that could help you forget bad memories - and they have just tested it on 60 heart-broken people.科学家正在研究一种能帮助人们忘掉糟糕记忆的药物，他们刚刚针对60名极度悲伤的人们进行了试验。Dr. Alain Brunets memory manipulation study at the McGill University in Quebec, Canada, hopes to bring about a pioneering technique for the easing of painful memories.阿兰·布吕内博士在加拿大魁北克麦基尔大学进行的记忆操控研究，有望成为缓解痛苦记忆的开创性技术。What had previously been a science fiction fantasy, discarding une a reality for those suffering from an adjustment disorder after experiencing a traumatic event.丢弃不想要的记忆曾经是科幻小说中的幻想，如今对那些经历创伤事件后患有“适应障碍”的人来说，这个幻想可能会成为现实。Of the 60 people pleted, its results are yet to be released and are ae from my lab.布吕内博士说，由于可能出现的伦理问题，他并不打算完全抹掉记忆。他说：“我的实验室不会这样做。”He adds that toning dofortable ground for him and his team, ethically.他还说，从伦理上讲，他和他的团队更想做的是“淡化记忆”。But he adds: If one day you had tes pliable when it is recalled.麦基尔大学研究人员的研究基于这样的理论，即记忆在被记起时更容易被影响。For around two to five hours after recall Dr Brunet believes a memory can be modified before it is re-stored or reconsolidated.布吕内博士认为，在回忆往事大约2到5小时后，可以对记忆进行修改，然后重新存储或“重新巩固”。Propranolol is believed to stop proteins in the brain from re-storing the memory in the way it did before, meaning some details of the memory are lost.“心得安”被认为会阻止大脑中的蛋白质像以前那样重新存储记忆，因此记忆的一些细节会丢失。Boston University neuroscientist Steve Ramirez claims memory is dynamic and each time you open a memory you effectively press save as as if it is a word file, with any changes you may have made unwittingly saved until next time you recall the memory.波士顿大学的神经学家史蒂夫·拉米雷斯称，“记忆是动态的”，每次你“打开”一段记忆时，你实际上是在按下“保存”键，就好像它是一个word文档，你可能无意中做出的任何改变都会在你再次回忆起这段记忆时得以保存。Ethical concerns also arise over how many and which types of memories the technique could be used for - should people be allowed to forget an embarrassing drunken episode they may need to learn from?道德上的担忧也出现了，即这项技术可以用于多少记忆以及哪些类型的记忆——是否应允许人们忘记一次他们可能需要从中汲取教训的令人尴尬的醉酒事件？
