《齐谐》者，志怪者也。《谐》之言曰：“鹏之徙于南冥也，水击三千里，抟扶摇而上者九万里，去以六月息者也。”野马也，尘埃也，生物之以息相吹也。天之苍苍，其正色邪？其远而无所至极邪？其视下也，亦若是则已矣。

There is the (book called) Qi Xie, a record of marvels. We have in it these words: ‘When the phang is removing to the Southern Ocean it flaps (its wings) on the water for 3000 li. Then it ascends on a whirlwind 90,000 li, and it rests only at the end of six months.’ (But similar to this is the movement of the breezes which we call) the horses of the fields, of the dust (which quivers in the sunbeams), and of living things as they are blown against one another by the air. Is its azure the proper colour of the sky? Or is it occasioned by its distance and illimitable extent? If one were looking down (from above), the very same appearance would just meet his view.

可能 这种 恐怖 气氛 能 潜意识 激发 人 的 某些 心理 秘密，并且 带来 恐惧。恐怖片 中 的 各种 悬念 也 能 使 观众 深迷 其中 不能 自拔。日本 的 恐怖片 还 体现 了 非常 鲜明 的 日本 民族 特色 和 东方 神秘主义 的 传统。片 中 的 主角 通常 都 是 秀丽 或 妖艳 的 女子，既 美丽 又 恐怖，她们 在 表现出 残忍 和 邪恶 的 同时，也 有 令人 同情 和 惋惜 的 一面。日本恐怖片 中 的 邪恶 力量 往往 暗示 了 人 内心 的 黑暗，所以 尽管 没有 令人作呕 的 血腥 画面，却 能 让人 感到 精神上 的 恐惧 和 慌乱。纯粹 是 一种 心理上 的 折磨，应该说 这 才 是 真正 意义 上 的 恐怖。

Maybe that kind of scary atmosphere can subconsciously stimulate the secrets in people's hearts and create terror. The suspense in scary movies can also envelop the audience. Japanese movies also display very distinctive traditions of Japanese and Eastern mysticism. The stars are often pretty or coquettish girls, both beautiful and scary. While they are often cruel and evil, they can also make people empathize and feel sorry for them. The power of the evil in Japanese movies hints at the darkness in people's hearts. So even though they aren't so gory that you want to puke, the movies can make people feel fear and unease in their spirit. It's unadulterated psychological torture. We should say that it is terror in the truest sense of the word.
