Hey there, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
Today I've got some cool vocabulary to share with you about wellbeing.
嘿，我是 Emma，歡迎來到美味英語頻道！
今天我準備了一些很酷的關於幸福感的詞彙和大家分享。
Now this is the noun that we use to talk about a state of being comfortable, happy, healthy in a physical way, emotional way and a mental way.
Something that is, well for me at least, an ongoing challenge in life maintaining the balance between all of those things.
這是我們用來談論感到身體上、情感上和精神上舒適、快樂、健康狀態的詞彙。
至少對我來說是這樣，保持所有這些東西之間的平衡是生活中一直持續的挑戰。
Many of the words and the phrases that I'm sharing in this lesson are interconnected.
They're all linked to this topic and I want to go into a bit more detail around how to use these words accurately to talk about your wellbeing and the wellbeing of your friends and family.
我分享的許多單詞和短語在這一課中是相互聯繫的。
它們都與此主題相關，我想詳細介紹一下如何準確地使用這些詞來談論你的幸福，以及你的朋友和家人的幸福。
Maybe your staff, your team at work.
So I want you to take a long deep breath in and get ready to ease on into our lesson with me.
也許是你在工作中的員工和團隊。
所以我想讓大家深吸一口氣，準備好和我一起開始我們的課程。
Let's go.
So with health and feeling good about yourself, we can talk about physical things like exercise and eating well, getting enough sleep, all of that stuff.
讓我們開始吧。
因此，就健康和良好的自我感覺而言，我們可以談論身體上的事情，例如運動啊，吃得好啊，有足夠的睡眠啊，所有這些東西。
But we're also talking about emotional aspects of life, of work, of relationships.
All of these things can be tricky but as you start to learn more about the English-speaking version of you and your mental and emotional state as an English learner, this becomes increasingly important.
但是我們也可以談論生活中情感方面的事情，工作啊，人際關係啊。
所有這些可能很難，但是隨著你開始更多地學習用英語表達你作為英語學習者的心理和情感狀態，這變得越來越重要。
So let's start with mindset.
And actually when we say this word, we drop that D sound or it becomes very quiet.
因此，讓我們從思維方式開始。
實際上，當我們說這個字時，我們會不發 D 這個音。
You almost can't hear it. Mindset.
幾乎聽不到。思維方式。
And this is your mental attitude or your mood, your way of thinking and there are some really specific verbs and adjectives that we often use with this noun, with the noun mindset and we call these collocations.
And as you're building your vocabulary and you're learning new words, it is a really good idea to learn common collocations with that word.
這是你的思想態度或心情，你的思維方式，有一些非常具體的動詞和形容詞經常和這個名詞思維方式一起使用，我們稱之為固定搭配。
當你建立自己的詞彙量時，你在學習新單詞，學習這個單詞的常見搭配是一個非常好的主意。
So you're learning that new word but you're also learning words that are often used together with it in sentences. So what other words do we use with mindset?
因此，你正在學習這個新詞，但同時也在學習經常與它一起在句子中使用的單詞。
那麼，什麼詞會和思維方式一起使用呢？
You might already have some ideas about this but we often use positive and negative to describe our mindset.
It is useful to keep in mind that our mindset is not fixed.
你可能知道一些，但是我們經常使用正面和負面描述我們的思維方式。
記住我們的思維方式並不是固定的是很重要的。
Just because we have a negative mindset about one thing doesn't mean that we have a negative mindset about everything right?
It's a state that can change and regularly change.
只是因為我們對於一件事的心態消極並不意味著我們對所有的事情心態都很消極，對吧？
這是一個可以改變，並且經常改變的狀態。
We should always be working towards a more positive mindset right?
Though it's not easy.
我們應該一直努力朝著更積極的心態努力，對嗎？
雖然這並不容易。
Think of COVID right, we've all been through this in one way or another this year so we can all relate to it. I'm going to talk about a couple of examples.
When lockdown was announced, Sarah was really frustrated because she didn't have high-speed internet at home, her kids were driving her crazy, she didn't have enough time to look after them and get all of her work done as well.
想想新冠疫情，我們都今年都以某種形式在經歷它，所以我們可以產生共鳴。
我要談論幾個例子。當宣布隔離時，莎拉真的很沮喪，因為她在家中無法高速上網，她的孩子們讓她發瘋，她沒有足夠的時間照顧他們並完成她所有的工作。
Usually, her parents come around to look after them after school but they couldn't during lockdown right so, of course, this is a tough situation.
But we could say that it's unhelpful to be feeling like this.
通常，她的父母放學後會過來照顧他們，但是在隔離期間沒發過來，所以，當然了，這是一個非常艱難的局面。
但是我們可以說，這樣想是沒有什麼用的。
The situation can't change.
Sarah has the wrong mindset not because it's wrong to feel frustrated but because if she keeps thinking about all of the negative things and complaining and talking about how bad it is, she's going to become really unhappy.
情況無法改變。
莎拉的思維方式並不正確，不是因為感到沮喪是錯誤的，而是因為如果她一直在想關於所有負面的事情，一直在抱怨，一直在談論情況有多糟糕，她會變得非常不高興。
Now Maria on the other hand, knows this is a negative situation but she chooses to appreciate the extra time that she has with her family. She gets to spend time with her kids.
She tells her boss that she's doing everything she can to meet her deadlines and helps her to understand what's going on at home.
另一方面呢，瑪麗亞知道這是這個情況很不好，但她選擇感激自己和她的家人在一起的額外的時光。她開始花時間陪伴孩子們。
她告訴老闆，她正在竭盡所能完成工作的最後期限，並幫助她了解家裡發生了什麼。
She's cooking lots of home-cooked meals instead of getting takeaway like she usually does and she loves feeling like she's taking good care of her family during a difficult period.
So Maria is adopting a positive mindset.
她會做很多家常飯菜，而不是像平常一樣點外賣，她喜歡這種感覺，感覺自己在困難時期照顧好她的家人。
因此，瑪麗亞採取的是積極的態度。
That is a great verb.
We often hear to have a mindset but to adopt a mindset is even better.
這是一個很棒的動詞。
我們經常聽到擁有某種思維方式，但採取一種思維方式是更好的。
You might know this verb because it's used when you legally take responsibility or ownership of a child or a pet right? You might adopt a puppy.
But adopt can also mean to take up or to follow or to use something.
你可能知道這個動詞，因為它在你依法承擔責任或擁有孩子或者是寵物的所有權的時候會用到。你可能收養一隻小狗。
但是「adopt」也有採取或採取、跟隨或使用某個東西的意思。
So adopt is especially useful when you are deliberately trying to change the way that you think about a situation.
Usually we have to do a little bit of work to change the way that we think right, we can't just make it happen like that.
因此，在你有意地想要試圖改變你對某個情況的思維方式的時候，「adopt」這個詞非常有用。
通常我們需要一點點努力來改變我們思考的方式，我們無法輕而易舉地就做到了。
It's always a process and using adopt as our verb helps to explain that it's a process.
Other verbs that you'll often hear with mindset are change and shift.
這永遠是一個過程，使用「adopt」作為我們的動詞可以幫助解釋這是一個過程。
你經常聽到的其他的會和思維方式一起搭配使用的詞是改變和轉變。
They're both talking about the same thing, about that transition from one mindset to another.
So now you've got a few awesome collocations to use with the word mindset.
它們的意思都是一樣的，關於從一種思維方式到另一種思維方式的轉變。現在你可以使用一些超棒的關於思維方式的搭配。
I want you to put them into practice, so just hit pause for a moment on the video, write me a sentence using two or three of these words that you've just learnt and add them into the comments below.
Has there been a time in the past where you really had to focus on changing the way that you think or you feel about something or someone?
我想讓大家把它們付諸實踐，所以暫停一下視頻吧，用你剛剛學到的兩三個這詞為我寫一個句子，並將它們添加到下面的評論中。
過去有沒有一段時間你需要去改變你對某件事情或者是某個人的思維方式？
For me, I'm going through some significant changes in my business.
As my team grows, I'm having to shift my mindset around the role that I play in the business and the type of work that I do and that's been really challenging for me.
對我來說，我的生意在經歷一些重大的改變。
隨著我團隊的成長，我必須改變自己在其中的角色定位，以及我要做的工作的類型，那對我來說真的是一個挑戰。
I'm still working on it. It's a process, right?
Anyway, share an example about you.
我還在努力。這是一個過程，對不對？
不管怎麼說，分享一個關於自己的例子吧。
I'll pop down into the comments to correct the way that you're using these words if you need it.
Dealing with problems and challenging situations is life right? It's obviously tricky.
如果需要的話，我會跑到評論區給大家糾正你們使用這些詞彙的方式。
處理問題和具有挑戰性的情況就是生活，對不對？這顯然並不簡單。
It can be quite stressful actually.
So I want to share some language that will help to express your feelings and your needs when times are difficult.
實際上，這可能會令人壓力很大。
所以我想分享一些有助於表達你在困難時期的感受和需求的語言。
Starting with stress relief or to relieve stress. What do you do to relieve stress?
從緩解壓力開始。你如何緩解壓力？
Or what do you do for stress relief?
As you're thinking about your answer, I want to talk a little bit about the structure of these two questions right because stress relief and to relieve stress, they're both expressing the same idea about taking stress away or removing it from life.
你為緩解壓力做了什麼？
在思考答案時，我想談談兩個問題的結構，因為壓力緩解和緩解壓力，它們都表達了相同的意思，就是關於減輕壓力或將壓力從生活中消除。
However, stress relief is a noun phrase.
We treat it as a noun in our sentence, an uncountable noun. It can't be plural.
但是，壓力緩解是一個名詞短語。
我們在句子中將其視為名詞，一個不可數名詞。不能是複數。
But with relieve stress, we have a really useful collocation to note and remember.
We have the verb relieve and the noun stress.
但是減輕壓力的話，這是一個需要注意需要記住的固定搭配。動詞緩解和名詞壓力。
So what helps you to relieve stress?
What makes you feel better? What do you do for stress relief?
那麼，什麼可以幫助你緩解壓力呢？
什麼能讓你感覺更好？你會做什麼減輕壓力？
Taking a walk outside is always one of the best ways to relieve stress and tension. To get up, to move around, to get blood flowing through my body.
去外面散步是減輕壓力和緊張感最好的方法之一。起來，四處走動一下，讓血液在身體裡流淌。
You know movement always provides stress relief for me, anyway.
I also practise mindfulness or I try to be mindful.
運動總是可以為我緩解壓力。
我也會進行正念練習。
So again you can see that there are similar ways to express the same idea here and this idea is about being conscious or being aware of something.
It's about focusing on the present moment, being here right now. Not thinking about all the things that you need to do in the future or worrying about whatever happened earlier.
同樣的，你可以看到有類似的方法來表達同樣的想法，這個想法是對某事有意識的。
關於專注於此時此地。不去考慮擬在未來需要做的所有事情，或擔心之前發生的什麼事情。
Now this is definitely something that I've been trying to focus on throughout lockdown and throughout all of the changes that we've been experiencing this year.
If any of you have tried meditating or you've tried yoga then these are types of activities that help you to practise mindfulness.
這絕對是在隔離期間，以及在我們今年所經歷的所有的改變期間，我一直在努力專注的事情。
如果你嘗試過冥想或瑜伽的話，這些都是可以幫助你練習正念的活動。
So when it comes to managing difficult relationships in our lives, whether it's at work or in our family, mindfulness can help you to observe the behaviour of others and change your attitude, your mood or your behaviour to respond to them in the best way possible which also happens to be a really useful tool as you are learning a language and building confidence to speak in that language.
Many of my students have had a moment that burns in their mind, you know a time when they went to talk to someone in English and it didn't go as well as they'd hoped.
說到處理我們的生活中困難的人際關係，無論是在工作還是在家庭中，正念可以幫助你觀察他人的行為並改變你的態度、心情或行為，以最好的方式回應他們，這也恰好是一個在你學習一門語言，並建立用那門語言說話的信心時非常有用的工具。
我的許多學生都有這樣的燒腦時刻，他們去和別人用英語說話，但是事情並沒有他們所希望的那麼順利。
Whether they'd made the mistake themselves and they'd lost confidence or they had a really bad experience. Maybe the person was rude to them or unhelpful in some way.
他們可能自己犯了錯誤，所以失去了信心，或者他們的經歷很糟糕。也許那個人對他們很無禮，也不肯提供幫助。
As a language learner, I really encourage you to spend some time practising mindfulness, reflecting on those fears and being kind to yourself or observing other people's behaviour from a different perspective, you know.
Maybe that rude guy had actually just broken up with his girlfriend or he lost his job.
作為語言學習者，我真的鼓勵你花錢時間練習正念，反思這些恐懼，並對自己友善一點，或從不同的角度來看觀察他人的行為。
也許那個粗魯的傢伙實際上只是剛與女友分手，或者他丟了工作。
You don't let his actions or his poor response define you and who you are as an English speaker.
This is actually something that I talk about inside my online community quite a lot, The Ladies' Project.
你不要讓他的行為或他不好的反應定義你以及你是怎樣的一個說英語的人。
我其實在我的線上社群，也就是 The Ladies' Project 討論過很多這件事情。
It's a space for women who are learning English to connect, to build skills and to build confidence, especially in English conversation.
I've added a little link in the description down below so that you can find out a bit more about what we do, read our blog but also watch some of our member testimonials.
這是一個學習英語的女性建立聯繫，學習技能並建立信心，特別是在英語會話中的信心的空間。
我在下面的說明中添加了一個小連結，這樣你就可以進一步了解我們的工作，閱讀我們的博客，還可以觀看我們的一些會員的推薦。
So I know that this was a slightly different lesson today but I really hope that by focusing on a few important aspects of self-care and of mindfulness, you've been able to broaden your English vocabulary but also to consider some of the different tools that you have to help you improve your English life.
