小猴子有话说 不知不觉，已经进入了2020年的最后三分之一，也许你在家里休息了许久，要重新适应紧张的学校生活，也许你需要准备重要的考试，考虑申请新的学校，新的工作……压力、紧张与焦虑已经成为我们难以回避的问题。 认识压力 What is stress? Stress is a natural reaction when a person feels threatened or anxious. It is the body’s psychological defense against danger. People commonly refer to this as the fight-or-flight mechanism. 压力是对人感到威胁或焦虑下的自然反应，是人体面临危险时的心理防御机制，我们通常称这种情况为：“要么战斗，要么逃跑”。 Some of the psychological and emotional signs that you’re stressed out： 如果你正处于压力之下，可能会有这些常见的心理和情绪反应： Anger, irritability, or restlessness 愤怒，烦躁或感到不安 Feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated 容易感到崩溃，没有动力 Shallow breaths 呼吸变浅 Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much 入睡困难或更加嗜睡 Racing thoughts or constant worry 思前想后、忧心忡忡 Problems with your memory or concentration 记忆力减退、注意力不集中 语言积累 Defense mechanism 防御机制 Irritable: getting annoyed easily 易怒的 Restless: bored, impatient, or dissatisfied 焦躁不安的、不耐烦的 Overwhelme: to be so bad or so great that a person cannot deal with it 被压垮、应接不暇 例：We were overwhelmed by requests for information. 我们被不停的问询弄的应接不暇。 Race:原意为比赛，本文当中的racing thoughts指的是大脑拼命转动，这种念头层出不穷 例：My mind raced as I tried to work out what was happening. 我拼命地转动脑筋，想要搞清楚发生了什么事儿。 如何舒缓压力 How to relieve stress? 如果你感觉到自己正处于巨大压力之中，不妨试着主动调适，让自己重新找到生活的平衡，小猴子也为大家找到了一些具体的方法，供大家尝试： Get regular exercise. Just 30 minutes per day of walking can help boost your mood and improve your health. 定期运动。每天只需步行30分钟就可以让我们改善心情、身体健康。 Set goals and priorities. Decide what must get done now and what can wait. Try to be mindful of what you have accomplished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do. 设定目标和优先事项。哪些现在就要完成，哪些可以再等等。尽量关注自己一天结束时做到的那些事，而不是没有做到的。 Visualizations – e.g. visualize a peaceful scene. 视觉化- 可以想象自己身处一个安静的场景（这个可以与深呼吸相结合哦）。 Try a relaxing activity，which may incorporate meditation, muscle relaxation, or breathing exercises. You may take three deep, full, conscious breaths whenever you need to, or you may a quick nap, snack, reading or walk. 尝试一些轻松的活动，包括冥想、肌肉放松或练习呼吸。比如你可以随时随地，有意识的进行三次深呼吸,也可以小睡一会儿，吃点零食，读本书或者去散散步。 Stay connected. You may connect with people who can provide emotional support and practical help though email, call or text. 保持联系。你和那些可以提供情感支持和实际帮助的人联系一下，给他们发一封电子邮件打个电话，或者发条短信。 语言积累 Boost: to make sth increase 增强，提高 例：Getting that job did a lot to boost his confidence.得到那份工作使他信心倍增。 Incorporate: to include sth 包含，包括，常用于incorporate sth in/into/within sth.短语中 例：Many of your suggestions have been incorporated in the plan. 你的很多建议已纳入计划中。 Mindful: think about and consider sth. 记着，想到，常用于 be mindful of …短语当中 例：Mindful of the danger of tropical storms, I decided not to go out. 想到热带风暴的危险，我决定不出门。 To take/have a nap 打个盹；小睡一会儿 斯坦福心理学教授Kelly McGonigal在一次Ted演讲中鼓励人们与压力做朋友: “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. And so I would say that's really the best way to make decisions, is go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.” 比起逃避不适，追寻意义对身体更有好处。这也是帮你做出决定的最好方法，要追寻那些能给你的生活带来意义的东西，然后相信自己，能够随之而来的压力。 小猴子 · 寄语 看过这篇文章，大家是不是既找到了一些缓解压力的方法，又学到了新的英文表达呢？小猴子希望这些实用表达能帮助到大家的英语学习，也能让大家在之后的时间里能够用更加积极的心态面对压力，迎接挑战！
