　　A man who has been late for everything in his life - from funerals to first

　　dates - has had his chronic tardiness diagnosed as a medical condition.

　　在他的生活中，无论做什么事都迟到——从葬礼到初次约会——他的慢性迟到已经被诊断为是一种病症。

　　Jim Dunbar has been late for work, holidays, meals with friends, left women

　　waiting on first dates and even had to sneak into funerals long after they’ve

　　begun.

　　吉姆·邓巴工作、假期、和朋友吃饭都会迟到，第一次约会时让女友一直等待，甚至是参加葬礼，他也不得不在开始很久后偷溜进去。

　　The 57-year-old said that his poor timekeeping is down to a medical

　　condition that he was diagnosed with at an appointment at Ninewells Hospital in

　　Dundee - which he was 20 minutes late for. Mr Dunbar still struggles to arrive

　　on time despite his diagnosis of chronic lateness.

　　现年57岁的吉姆说，他的迟到被苏格兰港口城市邓迪的Ninewells医院(欧洲最大的教学医院)诊断为一种病症——尽管他努力准时到达医院，却还是晚了20分钟。

　　It is thought that the condition is caused by the same part of the brain

　　affected by those who suffer from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

　　(ADHD), and means Mr Dunbar cannot properly gauge how long things take to

　　complete.

　　他的状况和患有注意缺陷多动障碍的人一样，受到脑部的同一部分影响，这使邓巴先生不能准确估算出做一件事需要多长时间。

　　Mr Dunbar said: 'The reason I want it out in the open is that there has got

　　to be other folk out there with it and they don’t realise that it’s not their

　　fault. I blamed it on myself and thought 'Why can’t I be on time? I lost a lot

　　of jobs. I can understand people’s reaction and why they don’t believe me.'"

　　邓巴先生说：“我想要公布我的病症的原因是：肯定还有其他人也是这样，他们不知道这不是他们的错。我为此责怪自己，心想：‘为什么我就不能准时一点呢?我失去了很多工作，我可以理解人们的反应，还有他们为什么不信任我。’”

　　'It’s depressing sometimes. I can’t overstate how much it helped to say it

　　was a condition.' Mr Dunbar recently tried to go to the cinema and knowing it

　　could be a problem getting to Dundee’s DCA cinema for a 7pm showing, he gave

　　himself an 11-hour head start.

　　“有时这很令人沮丧。我无法表达知道这是一种病我有多高兴。”

　　邓巴最近想去邓迪的DCA电影院，电影晚上7点开始，他怕自己迟到，于是11个小时前就准备好。

　　But he still managed to arrive 20 minutes late.

　　但还是迟到了20分钟。

　　Mr Dunbar said: 'I got up at 8:15am to go to a David Bowie film at the DCA

　　that started at seven o’clock. That gave me 11 hours to get ready. I knew I was

　　going there - and I was 20 minutes late. I get down about it and it’s disturbing

　　for other folk when you arrive late.'

　　邓巴先生说：“我为了要晚上7点去DCA电影院看大卫·鲍伊的电影，早上8:15就起床了。我有11个小时准备，我知道自己该走了——还是晚了20分钟。我实在太失望了，如果你去晚了，会打扰到别人。”

　　But some experts are sceptical about Mr Dunbar's diagnosis.

　　也有专家质疑他的病情诊断。

　　'The condition isn't in the DSM5 (the American Psychiatric Association's

　　Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) so I'm not sure you can

　　really call it a condition,' said Dr Sheri Jacobson, psychotherapist and

　　director of Harley Therapy Clinic in London.

　　“这种病不在DSM59(美国精神病学协会的精神疾病诊断和统计手册)里面，所以我不确定可以叫它一种医学病症，”

　　伦敦哈雷治疗诊所的心理治疗师兼主任谢瑞·雅各布森博士说。

　　'Repeated lateness is usually a symptom of an underlying condition such as

　　ADHD or depression but it can also just be habit. I think making everyday human

　　behaviour into a medical condition is unwise.'

　　“总是迟到，通常是多动症或抑郁症的症状，但有可能也只是习惯。我觉得把人们的日常行为判断为病症是不明智的。”
