２年前有一位很谈得来的室友s-h，是位大提琴手，经常在学校音乐会上有演出。

翻到上个月泰晤士报的一条新闻，突然想到了她。 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5601050.ece ，

这是一种关于大提琴演奏者的职业病，叫"cello scrotum"（简称CS）。

CS翻译成中文不甚雅观， （友情提示：认为有生字的同学请务必去查小青蛙彩图字典）；简言之，它属于一种比较低俗的疾病。

关心古典音乐和个人卫生的朋友们请奔走含泪相告。

这种低俗 病最早刊于1974年的 British Medical Journal,英国顶尖医学杂志；同期该刊还列有若相关乐器职业病。（见附）

新闻插图比较不厚道，JLW愁眉紧锁示范如何正确演奏才不至于染病（"Julian Lloyd Webber shows how to play it safe"），没让我笑个半死   #@_@#

Melodies and maladies

— Dermatitis: caused by hours of contact with an instrument. Irritants include nickel in trumpets, chromium and brass in guitar strings, flute heads and brass mouthpieces

— Fiddler’s neck: afflicts players of violins and violas — a sweat rash that may result in scaling, pustules and eventually scarring

— Cellist’s chest and cello knee: inflammation caused by the instrument pressing on the body

— Garrod’s pads: thickening of the skin on the index and middle fingers of the left hand, seen in players of stringed instruments

— Satchmo syndrome: rupture of the muscle surrounding the mouth, named after Louis “Satchelmouth” Armstrong. Excessive pressure on mouthpieces may also lead to the repositioning of front teeth among brass players
