And he talked of xenomelia as incarnation without animation.

他将身体完整性认同障碍症类比为没有动画的具象。

From the perspective of the self, though, xenomelia is telling us something very profound.

尽管如此，从自我的角度，身体完整性认同障碍症还是给我们透露了一些重要的信息。

Early on in my research, a neuropsychologist alerted me to a condition called xenomelia, or foreign limb syndrome.

在我的研究初期，一位神经心理学家让我突然注意到了一种叫做“身体完整性认同障碍症”的疾病，或称“外肢综合征”。

People with xenomelia will sometimes take extreme measures to get rid of, to amputate their foreign-seeming body parts.

身体完整性认同障碍症患者有时会采取极端措施，除掉、切掉他们感觉不属于自己的身体部位。

Xenomelia is somewhat of an opposite condition, where people feel like some part of their body — usually the extremities, their hands or legs — don't belong to them.

身体完整性认同障碍症大概是这种情况的反面，患者感觉身体的某个部位，通常是四肢，即手或脚，不属于他们自己。

So in xenomelia, the brain and bodily processes that give rise to our sense of ownership of our body parts, they're misfiring, so to speak, and the consequences can be serious.

身体完整性认同障碍症患者的大脑和身体造成我们对身体部位的拥有感可以说是哑火了，后果很严重。
