Stop Shaking Your Legs!
可不可以停下來
Some people tend to shake their legs without even noticing. A doctor looked at this behavior and did some research on it.
有些人總是在不知不覺間抖腳。有位醫師便鑽研這樣的「抖腳問題」,
tend to往往會shake(v.)抖動、搖動notice(v.)注意behavior(n.)行為
He found that leg shaking is a motion that occurs when spinal nerves reflexes are not suppressed by the brain.
他發現,抖腳是因為脊髓反射神經失去大腦的抑制,

That is to say, this motion does not stem from habit.
也就是說,這並不是一種「習慣動作」。
stem from源自於habit(n.)習慣
The reason why people shake legs stems from pressure, and it seems to be more prevalent in men than women.
抖腳的原因來自於壓力,而男性似乎比女性更常發作。
shake(v.)抖動、搖動stem from源自於pressure(n.)壓力prevalent(adj.)普遍的
People typically experience pressure from external stimuli, but as women have to face the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, their brains will secrete a hormone that brings pleasure, making them more resilient to pressure.
一般來說,人們時常感受到來自外界的壓力,但女性因為要面臨懷孕生產的痛苦,所以會分泌一種帶來愉悅的荷爾蒙,因而抗壓性較高。
