Once a psychology Professor walked around his classroom holding a glass of water.
有一次,一位心理学教授拿着一杯水在教室里走来走去
He asked his students,“How heavy is this glass of water?”
他问他的学生,“这杯水有多重?”
The students started to shout out guesses,ranging anywhere from four ounces to one pound。
学生们开始大声地进行猜测,从四盎司到一磅不等。
The professor replied,the absolute weight of this Glass isn't what matters while I'm holding it.
教授回答说,当我拿着这个杯子时,它的绝对重量并不重要。
Rather,It's the amount of time that I hold on to it that matters.
然而,重要的是我能坚持多久
If I hold it for say two minutes,It doesn't feel like much of a burden.
如果我拿着它,比如说两分钟,这感觉并不是什么负担
If I hold it for an hour,It's weight may become more apparent as my muscles begin to tire.
如果我拿着它一个小时,当我的肌肉开始疲劳时,它的重量会变得更加明显
If I hold it for an entire day or week,My muscles will cramp,and I'll likely feel numb or paralyzed with pain.
如果我拿着它一整天或一周,我的肌肉会抽筋,我很可能会因为疼痛而感到麻木或瘫痪。
Making me feel miserable and unable to think about anything aside from the pain that I'm in.
这让我感到痛苦,除了我所处的痛苦,我什么都不知道
In all of these cases,the actual weight of the glass will remain the same.
在所有这些案例中,水杯的实际重量保持不变
But the longer I clench onto it,the heavier it feels to me,and the more burdensome it is to hold.
但我坚持的时间越长,我就觉得它越重,而且承受的负担就越大。
The class understood and shook their heads in agreement.
全班同学都明白了,并点头表示赞同
The professor continued to say:
这位教授继续说:
“This glass of water represents the worries and stresses that you carry around with you every day.
这杯水代表着你每天携带的忧虑与压力
If you think about them for a few minutes and then put them aside.
如果你只是想几分钟,然后把它们放在一边
Its not a heavy burden to bear.
这并不是一个沉重的负担
If you think about them a little longer
如果你想得久一点
You will start to feel the impacts of the stress
你会开始感受到压力的影响
If you carry your worries with you all day.
如果你整天都带着你的忧虑
you will become incapacitated
你就会丧失行动能力
prohibiting you from doing anything else until you let them go
你将不能做任何事情,直到你放空它们
Let go of things that are out of your control.
放开那些你无法控制的事情
Put down your worries and stresses
放下你的担忧和压力
Don't give them your entire attention while your life is passing you by
当你的生命正在与你擦肩而过时,不要专注于这些烦恼
