Some also think stutterers could stop if they just tried harder.

一些人还认为，如果口吃者更加努力，他们就可以改变口吃。

I used to be a very bad stutterer when I was a kid and all through high school.

我小时候曾经口吃很严重，包括整个高中期间。

Moses was a stutterer, yet he was called on to be the voice of God.

摩西曾有口吃，但他后来却成为传播上帝福音的使者。

Ten of the kids given feedback were actually stutterers, but the rest weren’t.

得到反馈的孩子中有 10 个实际上是口吃者， 但其余的不是。

Yes, that’s two Fs, but we don’t think he was a stutterer.

是的，那是两个 F， 但我们认为他不是口吃者。

Luc De Nil, of the University of Toronto, has been poring over stutterers' brains using positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.

多伦多大学的卢克∙德∙尼尔已经用正电子发射断层扫描和功能性磁共振成像仔细研究了口吃者的大脑。

See, I'm a stutterer and I'm also somewhat dyslexic, but we'll try this anyway.

看，我是一个口吃者，而且我也有阅读困难，但无论如何我们都会尝试这个。

He has found that parts of the brain linked to the production of speech are more active in stutterers than non-stutterers, while those involved in perceiving sounds are less so.

他发现大脑的一部分与生成话语的区域相连，口吃者的这个区域要比非口吃者活跃，而感知声音的那些区域则是非口吃者更活跃。

The two sorts of brain look different, too. Stutterers tend, for instance, to have more densely packed grey matter in the areas associated with processing and producing sounds.

两者的大脑看起来也不同。比如，有关处理和产生声音的区域上覆盖的灰质，口吃者要更密集。

With stutterers, he thinks, a specific group of brain cells involved in speech production is, for an unknown reason, uniquely sensitive to the enzymatic glitch— perhaps producing the patterns seen by Dr De Nil in his brain scanners.

他认为，对口吃者来说，参与话语生成的一组特定的脑细胞，不明原因的对酶毛刺有一种独特的敏感——也许将德∙尼尔博士在脑部扫描中看到的结构生成出来能够解释这个现象。
