新华网8月13日电 据《太阳报》报道，英国一位老先生马尔科姆·迈亚特在罹患中风后便不停微笑，无法再感受到悲伤。
医生告诉他，他控制情绪的大脑额叶受到损伤。但今年68岁的马尔科姆说：“发生的事情非常神奇，现在我再也不会情绪低落了。我每分每秒都觉得很快乐，中风差点夺走了我的生命，但这现在却变成了我的优势。”
“快乐先生”马尔科姆和妻子
“我几乎都没有注意到自己感受不到悲伤了，大脑中有个区域是用来记忆笑话的，我现在很乐于把这些笑话和别人分享，把大家逗乐，因为我觉得很快乐也希望看到其他人都很快乐。”
马尔科姆以前是坎诺克的一位卡车司机，2004年1月患上严重的中风，在那之后他左边的身体几乎没有感觉了，还患上了短期失忆。
他的妻子凯丝今年67岁，是名IT老师。凯丝说道：“每当他笑的时候，其他人也都会跟着他笑，有他在一定不会冷场，他总是那么开心。”

Real-life Mr Happy can t feel sadness
EVER-smiling Malcolm Myatt has been left unable to feel sadness after suffering a stroke.
Doctors told him the frontal lobe of his brain that controls emotions was hit.
But plucky Malcolm, 68, said: “It s amazing what happened. Now I am never depressed. I feel happy all the time and am never down. The stroke nearly killed me but now it has turned out to my advantage.
“I barely even notice that I don t feel sadness. There is a part of the brain that remembers jokes and now I love telling them. I m always cracking them because I feel happy and I want other people to feel good too.”
Ex-trucker Malcolm, of Cannock, Staffs, had the massive stroke in January 2004. He was left with little feeling in his left side and suffers short-term memory loss.
Wife Kath, 67, an IT tutor, said: “When he laughs everyone does. He livens up any room. He s always happy.”
