Claire最近工作上压力很大，同事Jim和Tina给她出主意，如何减压。Tina说， T: You really have to make an effort to relax, and each person is different. My husband swears by classical music. He goes and sits in his room, turns on his stereo and listens to his favorite classical composers. J: For me, sometimes I just need a good hard workout. I like to put on boxing gloves and hit a punching bag...makes me feel much better! C: I've tried chanting and meditating a couple times, but I couldn't stop my brain from thinking about work. I can't seem to get in the zone. Tina说，她老公觉得听古典音乐特别管用。He swears by classical music. swear by something 意思是坚信某事的功效，用在人身上，to swear by somebody则是很信任某个人。Jim说，他释放压力最行之有效的办法是去健身，I just need a good hard workout. Claire说，她也试过冥想，但就是无法get in the zone进入状态。 T: I saw a news article yesterday that says chocolate helps relieve stress. Maybe you just need a chocolate bar! C: Now there's a therapy I can get behind! J: I think the main thing to keep in mind here is that stress is a serious issue. You're not weak. You're not a loser. You just have to find what works for you. Everybody's different. Maybe rock music is what works for you. Tina说，头天看报纸上说，吃巧克力可以减压，Claire开玩笑说，Now there's a therapy I can get behind. 意思是这种疗法我愿意尝试。不过言归正传，压力不是儿戏，身体对压力做出反应，并不意味着你脆弱，也不意味着你这人没用。每个人都需要找到对自己有效的减除压力的办法。 |
