雙語閱讀：10個妙招讓你減壓

　　6. Sleep (and sign off Facebook)

　　睡覺(并且從臉書網上下線)

　　Sleep is always the best medicine and some people find that small 20-minute naps can help increase productivity.

　　睡眠永遠是治療壓力最好的良藥。有專家發現，花20分鐘小睡一覺就可以增加人的工作效率。

　　As students we tend to spend too much time on social media sites and answering emails, texts and phone calls. Sociability is fun – but too much of it, and too much computer time, can lead to more stress.

　　作為學生，我們往往花大量時間上社交網站，回復郵件，回復短信，接電話等等。與人交流的確是一種樂事，但是太多的社交，太長時間上網可能會導致更多的壓力。

　　Failing to switch off from work because of your electronic gadgets will only make you even more stressed.

　　沉湎在電子設備上的社交中，而得不到休息，這只會讓你更感到壓力。

　　7. Quit smoking

　　戒煙

　　Some people say they smoke to relax, but researchers on the European Board for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco suggest that nicotine suppresses the hormone serotonin, which fights stress. Another good reason to quit.

　　有人說他們吸煙是為了放松，但是歐洲尼古丁和煙草研究委員會的研究者發現，尼古丁會抑制荷爾蒙血清素的生產，而后者正是對抗壓力的。又一個戒煙的好理由。

　　8. Try to see the positive side

　　試著看到事物好的一面

　　If you missed a deadline, try to appreciate what you learned from this mistake: now you know how to plan ahead. Things might seem bad, but if you try, there is usually something positive to be learned.

　　如果你錯過了截止日期，試著為你從中吸取的教訓而欣慰：現在你知道怎樣預先計劃事情了。也許事情的確很糟糕，但如果你愿意，總能從中找出正面的教訓經驗。

　　9. Listen to music

　　聽音樂

　　Listening to music can help calm you down and put you in a better frame of mind. If you're feeling stressed, putting on some calming music while you work could really help.

　　聽音樂能幫助你放松神經，找到更好的心情模式。當你在學習時感到壓力時，聽一些舒緩的音樂會大有幫助的。

　　10. Laugh

　　大笑

　　They say that laughter is the best medicine, and it's really true. Laughing out loud increases oxygen and blood flow which automatically reduces stress.

　　人們說笑一笑，十年少，這絕對是真理。大聲笑可以增加人體的氧氣攝入和血流量，從而自動減緩壓力。

　　Not taking life too seriously can help everyone live a better and easier life. Make time for yourself, log out of Twitter and take breaks. It's about time that we students accept that we can achieve just as much in life without all the stress.

　　不要帶著太過糾結的生活態度，這樣你才能生活的更好，更輕松。抽點時間給自己，放松一下，從推特上下線。從現在開始，我們學生應該放松壓力，坦然接受生活中我們能得到的一切。
