生活英語口語:如何應(yīng)對(duì)壓力…
N: how come you're still up? Shouldn't you be asleep by now?
G: I've been having a hard time sleeping lately.
N: as far as I know, insomnia is usually caused by stress. Are you stressed at all?
G: well, I'm really worried about my grades. I didn't think this course would be so stressful.
N: you're a good student. I'm sure you can do well. What you need to do is to relax.
G: you're probably right. I just wish it were that simple. How can I stop feeling so anxious all the time?
N: taking a yoga class or learning some relaxation techniques can help you cope with your stress.
G: I don't really have time to learn anything new. I need to spend my time studying!
N: you need to take some breaks throughout the day. Studying all day isn’t very usually effective.
G: you’re right. I usually end up starting at my computer or checking my email instead of doing my work for class.
N: besides, it’s not diffciult to learn yoga. In fact, I can teach you a move that’s supposed to help you fall asleep! You just have to sit down like this, bend over and breath in deeply.
G: that’s fantastic. I’m going to go try that out in my room now. good night!
N: good night, sleep tight; don’t let the bed bugs bite!
你怎么還醒著?難道昨晚到現(xiàn)在你都沒合眼嗎?
我最近一直很難入睡。
據(jù)我說知，失眠往往是由壓力引起的。你壓力很大嗎?
是的，我真的很擔(dān)心我的考試成績。我沒想到這門課壓力會(huì)這么重。
你是個(gè)好學(xué)生。我相信你能學(xué)的很好。你需要做的是放松心情。
你也許是對(duì)的。我只是希望能簡簡單單的。我怎么才能不這么焦慮呢?
上個(gè)瑜伽班或者學(xué)習(xí)一些能夠讓自己放松的方法，這些能夠幫你減壓。
我實(shí)在沒時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)任何新玩意了。我得把時(shí)間都用來學(xué)習(xí)。
你一天中總得休息幾次。整天都在學(xué)習(xí)，那效率也不會(huì)太高的。
你說的對(duì)，我常常對(duì)著電腦發(fā)呆，或者收看電子郵件，而作業(yè)卻沒寫。
另外，學(xué)瑜伽其實(shí)不怎么難。其實(shí)，我可以教你一個(gè)動(dòng)作，沒準(zhǔn)兒可以幫你入睡。你只需要像這樣坐著，彎腰然后深呼吸。
這太神奇了。我現(xiàn)在就回我房間試著做做看。晚安!
晚安，睡得香點(diǎn)，別讓臭蟲咬到!(英國兒歌)
