Nice cushions, a very cosy sofa and soft lightingbut Helen, why did you want to show me this relaxing and comfortable roomare you up to something? Helen: No! You said we were doing a programme about comfort zonesso I decided to make one. Rob: I see. Well we could describe this room as our comfort zone but usually the term refers to how someone feels. Helen: Oh! 原来舒适地带并不仅仅是一个物质环境，它也可以指某个人的感受。 Rob: If someone is in their comfort zone, they feel secure and comfortable, they might even feel in control.
