HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
As teenagers grow up(1), they become more independent and start making their own decisions.However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits.These bad habits, if left unchecked(2), could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. For example, some of them may become involved in tobacco or alcohol abuse, which can lead to physical and mental health problems.To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating a teenager's life(3) is essential.They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes.
健康的生活习惯
随着青少年的成长,他们变得更加独立,并且开始自己做决定。然而,在这个时期,有些青少年很容易养成不良习惯。如果不加以约束,在他们成年后这些不良习惯可能会导致更糟糕的习惯。例如,有些青少年可能会沉溺于烟酒,造成生理和心理健康问题。防止这些不良习惯支配青少年的生活是至关重要的。他们必须学会尽早发现不良习惯并做出适当的改变。
【助读点拨】
(1)此处为As引导的时间状语从句,表示“随着……”。
(2)此处是if引导的条件状语从句的省略,其完整形式为if they are left unchecked。
(3)此处为动词不定式作主语。
_______________________________________________________________________________
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts.There is a famous saying based on the philosophy of Aristotle(4): “We are what we repeatedly do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made.We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again.Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much harder to change.The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.
改掉不良习惯绝非易事,即使尝试了很多次也是如此。有一条基于亚里士多德哲学思想的著名谚语说道:“重复的行为造就了我们。”在许多方面,我们的生活方式是我们所做选择的总和。我们选择做某事,然后一遍又一遍地重复。很快,这种选择就自动形成了一个更难改变的习惯。好消息是如果我们了解习惯是如何形成的,我们就可以做出改变。
【助读点拨】
(4)此处为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a famous saying。
According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this:
Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in response to the cue.
Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward)(5).The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
根据现代心理学,我们必须首先了解“习惯周期”,其工作原理如下:
首先,存在着一个“暗示”,即一个动作、事件或情况,作为做某事的信号。
其次,存在着一种“惯常行为”,即你根据“暗示”所采取的常规行动。
第三,则是“奖励”,也就是我们从“惯常行为”中获得的益处或良好的感觉。
例如,当我们感到不快乐时(暗示),我们会吃很多不健康的零食(惯常行为),这会让我们感到快乐(奖励)。这个奖励让我们更有可能继续这个循环,继而养成了依赖不健康零食的不良习惯。
【助读点拨】
(5)此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句,其中包含了“make+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,宾语补足语为feel happy。
To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them.We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas.For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive.So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed (reward).Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits.For example, when we come to an escalator (cue), our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
想要促使不良习惯朝着积极的方向转变,我们必须首先审视自己的坏习惯循环,然后尽力去调整。我们可以通过将习惯周期中的信息与自己的积极想法相结合来做到这一点。例如,我们可以尝试用更积极的事情来代替消极的习惯。因此,当我们再次感到不开心时(暗示),与其吃零食,不如听些我们喜欢的音乐(惯常行为),这会让我们感到放松(奖励)。除了改变不良习惯,我们还可以利用习惯循环来形成好习惯。例如,当我们走到自动扶梯时(暗示),我们通常的习惯是乘坐自动扶梯,但我们可以通过走楼梯来改变这种习惯,使之变成更积极的事情。
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up.In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time.As the Chinese philosopher Laozi wrote(6), “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential.To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps.After all, it is not easy to break bad habits.
我们许多人都试图迅速改变不良习惯,如果我们不能立即成功,我们往往会变得悲观然后放弃。实际上,最成功的改变方法不是一蹴而就的,而是要经过一段时间的。正如中国哲学家老子所言:“千里之行始于足下。” 一小步看似渺小,却必不可少。为了达到改变的目的,一个人必须表现出一些纪律性,并反复采取许多小步骤。毕竟,改掉不良习惯并不容易。
【助读点拨】
(6)此处为As引导的非限制性定语从句,As指代后面整个主句的内容。
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits.However, there is no “magic pill” or delete button that will help you(7); you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes.You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits(8)!
对于年轻人来说,有足够的时间来改变不良习惯。然而,没有“神奇药丸”或删除按钮可以帮助你,你必须考虑自己的不良习惯并决定做出一些改变。你有能力营造一种充满良好习惯的幸福、健康的生活。
