压力是每个人都有的，但是有的人压力大，有的人压力小。一个人如果当压力积累到一定程度的话，那个人可能会精神崩溃。所以我们平常要注意舒缓自己的压力，不能老是独自承受压力。小编在论坛上阅读过一篇很好的ted如何跟压力做朋友演讲稿范文，各位读者可以学习学习。

I have a confession to make. But first, Iwant you to make a little confession to me. In the past year, I want you tojust raise your hand if you’ve experienced relatively little stress. Anyone?

我要跟大家坦白一件事,但首先,我要各位也对我坦白。如果相对来说,你去年压力不大的,请举手,有吗?

How about a moderate amount of stress?

那觉得承受的压力算普通的呢?

Who has experienced a lot of stress? Yeah.Me too.

有没有倍觉压力的? 看来我们都一样。

But that is not my confession. Myconfession is this: I am a health psychologist, and my mission is to helppeople be happier and healthier. But I fear that something I’ve beenteaching for the last 10 years is doing more harm than good, and it has to dowith stress. For years I’ve been telling people, stress makes you sick. It increases the riskof everything from the common cold to cardiovascular disease. Basically, I’ve turnedstress into the enemy. But I have changed my mind about stress, and today, I want to change yours.

不过这不是我要坦白的。我要坦承的是,我,一名健康心理学家,我的职责就是让人们更健康快乐。不过我担心自己这10年来传授的与压力有关的内容恐怕弊多于利。这些年我不断跟人说,压力会让人生病,患有从一般感冒到心血管疾病的风险都随之升高。基本上我把压力当作敌人,但我对压力的看法已经变了,而我今天就是要让你们改观的。

Let me start with the study that made merethink my whole approach to stress. This study tracked 30,000 adults in theUnited States for eight years, and they started by asking people, "Howmuch stress have you experienced in the last year?" They also asked,"Do you believe that stress is harmful for your health?" And thenthey used public death records to find out who died.

先来谈让我对压力另有看法的研究。这研究追踪在美国的3万名成人,历时8年。研究首先问这些人「去年你感受到了多大压力?」同时问他们「你相信压力有碍健康吗?」之后研究人员以公开的死亡统计,找出参与者中去逝的人。

Okay. Some bad news first. People whoexperienced a lot of stress in the previous year had a 43 percent increasedrisk of dying. But that was only true for the people who also believed thatstress is harmful for your health. People who experienced a lot of stress butdid not view stress as harmful were no more likely to die. In fact, they hadthe lowest risk of dying of anyone in the study, including people who hadrelatively little stress.

好,先说坏消息,前一年压力颇大的人死亡的风险增加了43%。但这只适用于那些相信压力有碍健康的人。承受极大压力的人若不将此视为有害,死亡的风险就不会升高。事实上,与压力相对较小的研究参与者相比,这样的人死亡风险反而最低。

Now the researchers estimated that over theeight years they were tracking deaths, 182,000 Americans died prematurely, notfrom stress, but from the belief that stress is bad for you. That is over20,000 deaths a year. Now, if that estimate is correct, that would makebelieving stress is bad for you the 15th largest cause of death in the UnitedStates last year, killing more people than skin cancer, HIV/AIDS and homicide.

研究人员花了8年追踪死亡案例。18.2万美国人过早离世。原因并不是压力本身,而是认为压力有害的这个想法。估计超过2万人符合这情形,若估计正确「相信压力有害」就成为美国去年的第15大死因。致死率更胜皮肤癌、爱滋病和谋杀。

You can see why this study freaked me out.Here I’ve been spending so much energy telling people stress is bad foryour health.

你们应能体会为何这研究让我担心害怕了。我一直努力告诉他人,压力有碍健康。

So this study got me wondering: Canchanging how you think about stress make you healthier? And here the sciencesays yes. When you change your mind about stress, you can change your body’s responseto stress.

因此这研究使我想知道,改变对压力的看法是否能促进健康?显然科学对此抱以肯定。改变看待压力的方式,生理上的压力反应亦随之改变。

Now to explain how this works, I want youall to pretend that you are participants in a study designed to stress you out.It’s called the social stress test. You come into the laboratory, andyou’re told you have to give a five-minute impromptu speech on yourpersonal weaknesses to a panel of expert evaluators sitting right in front ofyou, and to make sure you feel the pressure, there are bright lights and acamera in your face, kind of like this. And the evaluators have been trained togive you discouraging, non-verbal feedback, like this. (Exhales)

我来解释为什么会这样。假设你参与一项意图使你紧张的研究中,就是所谓的「社会压力测试」。你进入实验室后才知道要发表5分钟的即席演说。这段演说以个人缺点为题,眼前的听众将是一群专业评审,为了确认你确实感到压力,镜头和灯光都会聚焦在你脸上。有点像现在这样!且评审都经过培训,用令人沮丧的非口语言词给你回应,就像这样。

Now that you’re sufficientlydemoralized, time for part two: a math test. And unbeknownst to you, theexperimenter has been trained to harass you during it. Now we’re going toall do this together. It’s going to be fun. For me.

就在你已够泄气时,第二场好戏上演了:数学测验。且你们事前不知道实验己设定成受测者会被干扰,现在我们一起做做看,很好玩的,至少对我来说昰这样。

Okay. I want you all to count backwardsfrom 996 in increments of seven. You’re going to do thisout loud, as fast as you can, starting with 996. Go! Go faster. Faster please.You’re going too slow. Stop. Stop, stop, stop. That guy made a mistake.We are going to have to start all over again. You’re not very good atthis, are you? Okay, so you get the idea. If you were actually in this study,you’d probably be a little stressed out. Your heart might be pounding, youmight be breathing faster, maybe breaking out into a sweat. And normally,weinterpret these physical changes as anxiety or signs that we aren’t copingvery well with the pressure.

好,现在你们开始倒数,从996开始,每数一个数减7。要大声地数,越快越好,从996开始。开始!请快点!你们太慢了,停......停......停。那个人算错了,所以我们得重来一次。这方面你们不太行,对吧?现在大家弄清楚是怎么回事了。若各位也参与这项研究,可能会有点神经紧张。也许会心跳加速,呼吸急促,甚至满身大大汗。通常我们将这些生理变化称为焦虑,或代表压力失调的信号。

So my goal as a health psychologist haschanged. I no longer want to get rid of your stress. I want to make you betterat stress. And we just did a little intervention. If you raised your hand andsaid you’d had a lot of stress in the last year, we could have saved yourlife, because hopefully the next time your heart is pounding from stress, you’re going toremember this talk and you’re going to think to yourself, this is my body helping me rise tothis challenge. And when you view stress in that way, your body believes you,and your stress response becomes healthier.

所以我身为徤康心理学家的目标也改变了,不再想要帮人摆脱压力,而是让人更善于处理它。刚才我们所做的就是疗程的一小部分。如果你刚才举手,表示去年压力很大,我们可以拯救你。因为,但愿下次压力使你心跳加快时,你会记得今天的演讲。然后,你会自我盘算,这是我的身体在帮助我准备迎接挑战。当你如此看待压力,身体会信任你的判断,而你的压力反应就更健康了。

Now I said I have over a decade ofdemonizing stress to redeem myself from, so we are going to do one moreintervention. I want to tell you about one of the most under-appreciatedaspects of the stress response, and the idea is this: Stress makes you social.

曾有10年的时间我视压力为恶。为了自我改正,我们接下来再做一趟疗程。我想跟你们谈谈压力反应中,最受忽视的部份。这部分的概念是,压力让人有社交能力。

I want to finish by telling you about onemore study. And listen up, because this study could also save a life. Thisstudy tracked about 1,000 adults in the United States, and they ranged in agefrom 34 to 93, and they started the study by asking, "How much stress haveyou experienced in the last year?" They also asked, "How much timehave you spent helping out friends, neighbors, people in your community?"And then they used public records for the next five years to find out who died.

最后我想谈另一个研究。听仔细了,这研究也可救人一命。研究追踪约1千名美国境内34到93岁的成人。研究一开始就问:「你去年有多大压力?」接着又问:「目前你花过多少时间帮助邻居朋友和邻里中的其他人?」他们以这之后五年内的公开档案,找出死亡人口。

Okay, so the bad news first: For everymajor stressful life experience, like financial difficulties or family crisis,that increased the risk of dying by 30 percent. But -- and I hope you are expectinga "but" by now -- but that wasn’t true for everyone.People who spent time caring for others showed absolutely no stress-relatedincrease in dying. Zero. Caring created resilience. And so we see once againthat the harmful effects of stress on your health are not inevitable. How youthink and how you act can transform your experience of stress. When you chooseto view your stress response as helpful, you create the biology of courage.Andwhen you choose to connect with others under stress, you can create resilience.Now I wouldn’t necessarily ask for more stressful experiences in my life, butthis science has given me a whole new appreciation for stress.

 Stress gives usaccess to our hearts. The compassionate heart that finds joy and meaning inconnecting with others, and yes, your pounding physical heart,working so hardto give you strength and energy. And when you choose to view stress in thisway, you’re not just getting better at stress, you’re actuallymaking a pretty profound statement. You’re saying that youcan trust yourself to handle life’s challenges. And you’re remembering that you don’t have to face themalone.

好,先说坏消息。任何引起重大压力的生活经验,像财务困难或家庭危机,会让死亡的风险增加30%。但是,我希望各位正期待有所转圜,并非每个人都这样。那些花时间关心他人的,他们的致命风险完全不受压力影响。关爱造就韧性。我们再次见证,压力对健康的危害并非无法避免,人的想法和行动可以转化压力的经验。当人选择将压力反应当作助力,生理系统也跟着无所畏惧。面对压力,选择人际互动便能造就韧性。我不一定会希望生活中有更多压力经验,但这样的科学实证让我对压力有全新的正面看法。

压力让我们跟自己的心沟通。同情心在人际交流中,得到快乐和意义。是的,加速的心跳,为的是努力产生力量和能量。当你如此看待压力,你不只更善于处理压力,还实际作出深刻的宣示。等于在说:你相信自己能应付生命中的挑战,然后你想起自己并非单独面对这一切。

Thank you.

谢谢!
