　　441. Now the snag in this sort of anecdote is of course that one merely a symptom?

　　这类奇闻的疑难之处是无法区别因果关系。是噪音引起了(精神)病呢，还是(精神)病的症状之一是对噪音的抱怨?

　　442. Another patient might equally well complain that her neighbours were combining toslander her and persecute her,

　　另有一位病人可能同样有理由抱怨说，她的邻居们正在联合起来对她进行诽谤和迫害，

　　453. if there is any effect of noise upon mental health,

　　如果噪音对精神健康有影响的话，

　　454. it must be so small that present methods of psychiatric diagnosis cannot find it.

　　那也一定是微乎其微，以致现代的精神病诊断方法还发现不了。

　　455. That does not prove that it does exist:

　　这并不是证实不存在噪音对健康的影响。

　　456. but it does mean that noise is less dangerous than, say, being brought up in anorphanage -- which really is mental health hazard.
