J: There are lots of options for dealing with stress. What do you find works for you? C: I have no idea. I've tried ginseng, herbal teas...nothing seems to work. J: Oh, look...there's Tina. Tina is a yoga fanatic. She swears it's reduced her stress levels significantly. hey, Tina...got a second? T: Hi Jim, hi Claire. J: I was just mentioning to Claire how yoga changed your life. 要给自己减压，有很多options可供选择的方式，但是Clarie说，她尝试过ginseng(西洋参)， herbal tea(草药茶)等等，nothing seems to work. 好像都不管用。正说着，另外一个同事Tina正好路过，被Jim叫住。原来，Tina is a yoga fanatic. Tina特别热衷瑜珈，fanatic is spelled f-a-n-a-t-i-c, fanatic指对某事特别热衷和投入的人。Tina说，做瑜珈帮她大大减轻了压力。瑜珈真有这么灵吗?我们听听Tina是怎么说的。 T: Oh, yes. I'm totally addicted. When I'm there on my yoga mat, I'm able to tune out the rest of the world. It's such a peaceful feeling. C: Do you think the exercise part of yoga is what helps reduce stress? T: Yes, but there's also a spiritual element. You take a little time to concentrate on yourself and forget about the world. Are you feeling stressed, Claire? Tina说自己，I'm totally addicted to yoga. 意思是我做瑜珈上瘾。addicted is spelled a-d-d-i-c-t-e-d, addicted 意思是对某事上瘾。Tina说，坐在瑜珈垫子上的时候，I'm able to tune out the rest of the world. tune something out意思是把某事排除在外，完全不去注意。Tina还说，做瑜珈释放压力，不仅是因为瑜珈里有运动成分，还因为瑜珈带有精神上的元素，the spiritual element. 让人忘却外部世界，身心放松。 |
