第二段
1. 第一行:In order to reduce worry,it is necessary to understand the subconscious psychological “payoffs” for choosing to worry in the first place.
in order to do sth. 為了做某事
it在這里是形式主語(yǔ),陰影部分是動(dòng)詞不定式作真正的主語(yǔ)
payoff for doing sth. 做某事所得到的補(bǔ)償
in the first place 首先
為了減少憂慮,首先有必要弄明白人們愛(ài)憂慮所能得到的潛意識(shí)心里補(bǔ)償是怎么回事。
2. 第三行:This is a common lament,and one with a payoff that keeps you standing still and avoiding the risk of action.
Keep sb. doing sth. 讓某人一直做某事
人們普遍這樣訴苦,這種訴苦的回報(bào)會(huì)讓你安之若素,避免貿(mào)然行動(dòng)。
3. 第五行:Clearly,it is easier,if less rewarding,to worry than to be an active,involved(投入的) person.
很清楚,如果只求較少回報(bào)的話,做一個(gè)愁苦憂慮的人比作一個(gè)積極投入的人更容易。
第三段
1. 第一行:By worrying about someone else,you can label yourself as a caring person.
Worry about sb. 擔(dān)心某人
Label oneself as 把自己算/看成
Caring person 關(guān)心別人的人
你為別人操心,這樣你可以把自己算成關(guān)心別人的人。
2. 第三行:I can't help worrying-it's because I love you.
Can't help doing sth. 禁不住做某事
我做不到不為你操心-因?yàn)槲覑?ài)你。
3. 第三行:A handsome dividend,although lacking in(缺少)logical,healthy thinking.
這是個(gè)相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)的回報(bào),只不過(guò)缺乏合乎邏輯的、正常的思維。
第四段
1. 第二行:You have a good reason for hanging on to the worry behavior.
Have a good reason for doing sth. 很有理由做某事
Hang on to sth. 繼續(xù)做某事;緊緊抓住;求助;依靠于;
因此你有很好的理由繼續(xù)憂慮下去。
2. 第三行:Similarly,you may find yourself smoking more in troublesome situations, and can use the worry to avoid giving up smoking.
Find sb. doing sth. 發(fā)現(xiàn)某人做某事(這里的doing是作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的)
Avoid doing sth. 避免做某事(avoid后面只能加動(dòng)詞的ing形式)
同樣,你可能發(fā)現(xiàn)你在煩惱的情況下抽煙的更多,你可以用憂慮作口實(shí),不去戒煙。
3. 第五行:It may be easier for you to worry about chest pains than to risk finding out the truth, and then having to deal directly with yourself.
It為形式主語(yǔ),陰影中的動(dòng)詞不定式是真正的主語(yǔ)
Risk doing sth. 冒險(xiǎn)做某事(risk后面只能加動(dòng)詞的ing形式)
Deal with oneself 處理自己的問(wèn)題
為胸痛而憂慮比冒險(xiǎn)找出病因,然后不得不自己直接處理自己的問(wèn)題更容易做到。
第五段
1. 第二行:While these may not seem to be payoffs,they do result in(導(dǎo)致) considerable attention from others and justify much self-pity as well.
盡管這不能算回報(bào),但它能引起別人的深切關(guān)注并能證明自憐是有道理的。
2. P704第二行:And some people would rather be pitied(被人憐憫的) than fulfilled(充分發(fā)揮自己才能的)。
有些人寧愿被人憐憫也不愿充分發(fā)揮自己的才能。
