關於壓力的英語美文閱讀

　　離開人聲鼎沸的城市，不用再面對那些來勢洶洶的壓力，來到芳草萋萋的森林，盡情享受那沁人心脾的花香。下面是小編帶來的，歡迎閱讀!

　　篇一

　　壓力就像一杯水，拿得越久，它就越重

　　Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.

　　曾經，有一位心理學教授在講臺上來回走著，向滿席的學生傳授壓力管理原則。

　　As she raised a glass of water, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”

　　當她舉起一杯水，笑著問：“我舉著的這杯水有多重?”

　　Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.

　　從八盎司到幾磅，學生們大聲地喊出答案。

　　She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”

　　她回答道：“在我看來，這杯水的絕對重量不重要。在各種情況裡，這杯水的重量都沒變，但是我舉得越久，我就覺得越重。”

　　As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”

　　當全班晃頭表示同意時，她繼續說道：“你們在生活中的壓力和擔憂就非常像這杯水。”

　　It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.

　　記得放開你的壓力和擔憂是非常重要的。不管那天發生了什麼，到了傍晚，你應該儘快放下你所有的重擔。

　　如果你仍能感覺到昨天壓力的重量，這是一記重要的指示，告訴你是時候把杯子放下了。

　　篇二

　　What would you say when you are under work pressure, "stressed out and frantic" or "challenged and energized"? There is very little physiological difference between the two, says a growing contingent of experts who claim works stress has an upside. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you or tear you down. In most cases, you can choose.

　　Give stress a good name why recent work stress -- it's an indicator that your career is advancing. Think of a heavy work load as an exciting opportunity to push yourself, learn new skills and show your mettle. Complaining depletes your energy; instead greet an overloaded day with optimism. Tell yourself, "This is a challenge i am capable of handling."

　　Put it in perspective sometimes it's impossible to talk about the positive side of stress -- say your computer crashes and you lose valuable work -- but you can moderate your reaction. Rate your distress on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being mild irritation and 10 extreme panic or anger.

　　Now, rank the importance of the situation from 1 a notice to 10 you're fired . If your distress ranks higher than the seriousness of the situation, ask yourself: Is this something i will remember in four years, four months, four days? Then downshift your response accordingly, saving your emotinal energy for disasters.

　　學會利用工作壓力

　　當你受到工作壓力的時候，你會說些什麼，是“快受不了了，要發瘋了”還是“很有挑戰性呀”?越來越大比例的專家認為工作壓力有其積極的一面，他們認為，本質上，上述兩種說法的區別不大。這些專家相信，壓力要麼可以讓你更有力量，要麼可以把你打垮。多數情況下，你是有得選的。

　　如果我們要給工作壓力起個好聽的說法的話，可以說它說明了你的工作在進步。把大的工作量作為一種推動你自己向前、學習新技能、展示你的精神風貌的好機會。抱怨只會讓你精疲力竭，相反，應以樂觀的態度對待每日重工作。對自己說：“這個問題，我能搞定。”

　　有時候，你可能找不出壓力有什麼好處，比如電腦突然壞掉了，你失業了，但這時候，你可以舒緩自己的情緒。把自己的沮喪分個級，從1到10，1是微怒，10是極度恐慌或暴怒。

　　現在再把所面臨的狀況按重要性分個級，從1到10，1是接到一個臨時通知，10是你被炒魷魚了。如果你的沮喪程度比所面臨問題和重要性要高的話，那就問問自己：這些事情我還要記多久?四年?四個月?四天?因此別做出太激動的反應了，省省力量以面對將來更為嚴重的問題。

　　篇三

　　onfronting Stress

　　直面壓力

　　Stress is defined as the body's response to any demand made upon it. Long ago, stress wasa matter of survival. Increased pulse, breathing, and alertness kept our ancestors ready fordangers and prepared them to "run or fight".

　　壓力被定義為人體根據外部需求產生的一種反應。在遠古時代，壓力使我們生存。加快跳動的脈搏和心跳以及警戒讓我們的祖先對危險做出準備，並決定是戰是逃。

　　Today stress result from negative and positive events. A job promotion or graduation fromcollege can be a positive stressful event. A job loss, financial troubles, or a death in the familycan be a negative stressful event. Despite the different times, our body's reaction remainsthe same as the caveman's.

　　如今，壓力來源於一些正面或負面的事件。工作晉升或大學畢業帶來的壓力都是積極的，而失業，經濟問題或者家庭成員死亡帶來的壓力都是消極的。儘管所處年代不同，但我們身體上的反應和前人是一樣的。

　　Some of the effects that we experience from stress can include: depression, or feeling reallysad about nothing in particular; anxiety, or a fear that makes you feel tense or nervous;anger, or a feeling of hostility towards persons or events; panic, or a feeling of losing control.Symptoms can include panic, sweating, dizziness, breathlessness, and palpitations. Stress canlower our immune systems and make our bodies more susceptible to infections, colds, andflu.

　　壓力可產生以下後果：失落—莫名的傷感，焦慮—使你感到緊張的恐懼感，憤怒，對人對事抱有敵意，恐慌--感到失去控制。症狀包括：恐慌流汗，頭暈眼花，呼吸無力以及心慌氣短。壓力會降低我們免疫系統的能力，使我們更容易受到感染以及感冒和流感的侵襲。

　　Stress will always be a part of your life. It is important to recognize what gives you stress andlearn how to control your responses to those thing that cause stress.
