改善思维方式的英语搭配 Important（English Collocations）

Hey there, I"m Emma from mmmEnglish!

Today I"ve got some cool vocabulary to share with you about wellbeing.

嘿，我是 Emma，欢迎来到美味英语频道！

今天我准备了一些很酷的关于幸福感的词汇和大家分享。

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.

这是我们用来谈论感到身体上、情感上和精神上舒适、快乐、健康状态的词汇。

至少对我来说是这样，保持所有这些东西之间的平衡是生活中一直持续的挑战。

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.

我分享的许多单词和短语在这一课中是相互联系的。

它们都与此主题相关，我想详细介绍一下如何准确地使用这些词来谈论你的幸福，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.

也许是你在工作中的员工和团队。

所以我想让大家深吸一口气，准备好和我一起开始我们的课程。

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.

让我们开始吧。

因此，就健康和良好的自我感觉而言，我们可以谈论身体上的事情，例如运动啊，吃得好啊，有足够的睡眠啊，所有这些东西。

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.

但是我们也可以谈论生活中情感方面的事情，工作啊，人际关系啊。

所有这些可能很难，但是随着你开始更多地学习用英语表达你作为英语学习者的心理和情感状态，这变得越来越重要。

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，让我们从思维方式开始。

实际上，当我们说这个字时，我们会不发 D 这个音。

You almost can"t hear it. Mindset.

几乎听不到。思维方式。

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.

这是你的思想态度或心情，你的思维方式，有一些非常具体的动词和形容词经常和这个名词思维方式一起使用，我们称之为固定搭配。

当你建立自己的词汇量时，你在学习新单词，学习这个单词的常见搭配是一个非常好的主意。

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，你正在学习这个新词，但同时也在学习经常与它一起在句子中使用的单词。

那么，什么词会和思维方式一起使用呢？

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，但是我们经常使用正面和负面描述我们的思维方式。

记住我们的思维方式并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.

只是因为我们对于一件事的心态消极并不意味着我们对所有的事情心态都很消极，对吧？

这是一个可以改变，并且经常改变的状态。

We should always be working towards a more positive mindset right?

Though it"s not easy.

我们应该一直努力朝着更积极的心态努力，对吗？

虽然这并不容易。

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，我们都今年都以某种形式在经历它，所以我们可以产生共鸣。

我要谈论几个例子。当宣布隔离时，莎拉真的很沮丧，因为她在家中无法高速上网，她的孩子们让她发疯，她没有足够的时间照顾他们并完成她所有的工作。

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，她的父母放学后会过来照顾他们，但是在隔离期间没发过来，所以，当然了，这是一个非常艰难的局面。

但是我们可以说，这样想是没有什么用的。

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.

情况无法改变。

莎拉的思维方式并不正确，不是因为感到沮丧是错误的，而是因为如果她一直在想关于所有负面的事情，一直在抱怨，一直在谈论情况有多糟糕，她会变得非常不高兴。

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，玛丽亚知道这是这个情况很不好，但她选择感激自己和她的家人在一起的额外的时光。她开始花时间陪伴孩子们。

她告诉老板，她正在竭尽所能完成工作的最后期限，并帮助她了解家里发生了什么。

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.

她会做很多家常饭菜，而不是像平常一样点外卖，她喜欢这种感觉，感觉自己在困难时期照顾好她的家人。

因此，玛丽亚采取的是积极的态度。

That is a great verb.

We often hear to have a mindset but to adopt a mindset is even better.

这是一个很棒的动词。

我们经常听到拥有某种思维方式，但采取一种思维方式是更好的。

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.

你可能知道这个动词，因为它在你依法承担责任或拥有孩子或者是宠物的所有权的时候会用到。你可能收养一只小狗。

但是“adopt”也有采取或采取、跟随或使用某个东西的意思。

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，在你有意地想要试图改变你对某个情况的思维方式的时候，“adopt”这个词非常有用。

通常我们需要一点点努力来改变我们思考的方式，我们无法轻而易举地就做到了。

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.

这永远是一个过程，使用“adopt”作为我们的动词可以帮助解释这是一个过程。

你经常听到的其他的会和思维方式一起搭配使用的词是改变和转变。

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.

它们的意思都是一样的，关于从一种思维方式到另一种思维方式的转变。现在你可以使用一些超棒的关于思维方式的搭配。

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?

我想让大家把它们付诸实践，所以暂停一下视频吧，用你刚刚学到的两三个这词为我写一个句子，并将它们添加到下面的评论中。

过去有没有一段时间你需要去改变你对某件事情或者是某个人的思维方式？

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.

对我来说，我的生意在经历一些重大的改变。

随着我团队的成长，我必须改变自己在其中的角色定位，以及我要做的工作的类型，那对我来说真的是一个挑战。

I"m still working on it. It"s a process, right?

Anyway, share an example about you.

我还在努力。这是一个过程，对不对？

不管怎么说，分享一个关于自己的例子吧。

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.

如果需要的话，我会跑到评论区给大家纠正你们使用这些词汇的方式。

处理问题和具有挑战性的情况就是生活，对不对？这显然并不简单。

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.

实际上，这可能会令人压力很大。

所以我想分享一些有助于表达你在困难时期的感受和需求的语言。

Starting with stress relief or to relieve stress. What do you do to relieve stress?

从缓解压力开始。你如何缓解压力？

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.

你为缓解压力做了什么？

在思考答案时，我想谈谈两个问题的结构，因为压力缓解和缓解压力，它们都表达了相同的意思，就是关于减轻压力或将压力从生活中消除。

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，压力缓解是一个名词短语。

我们在句子中将其视为名词，一个不可数名词。不能是复数。

But with relieve stress, we have a really useful collocation to note and remember.

We have the verb relieve and the noun stress.

但是减轻压力的话，这是一个需要注意需要记住的固定搭配。动词缓解和名词压力。

So what helps you to relieve stress?

What makes you feel better? What do you do for stress relief?

那么，什么可以帮助你缓解压力呢？

什么能让你感觉更好？你会做什么减轻压力？

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.

去外面散步是减轻压力和紧张感最好的方法之一。起来，四处走动一下，让血液在身体里流淌。

You know movement always provides stress relief for me, anyway.

I also practise mindfulness or I try to be mindful.

运动总是可以为我缓解压力。

我也会进行正念练习。

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.

同样的，你可以看到有类似的方法来表达同样的想法，这个想法是对某事有意识的。

关于专注于此时此地。不去考虑拟在未来需要做的所有事情，或担心之前发生的什么事情。

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.

这绝对是在隔离期间，以及在我们今年所经历的所有的改变期间，我一直在努力专注的事情。

如果你尝试过冥想或瑜伽的话，这些都是可以帮助你练习正念的活动。

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.

说到处理我们的生活中困难的人际关系，无论是在工作还是在家庭中，正念可以帮助你观察他人的行为并改变你的态度、心情或行为，以最好的方式回应他们，这也恰好是一个在你学习一门语言，并建立用那门语言说话的信心时非常有用的工具。

我的许多学生都有这样的烧脑时刻，他们去和别人用英语说话，但是事情并没有他们所希望的那么顺利。

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.

他们可能自己犯了错误，所以失去了信心，或者他们的经历很糟糕。也许那个人对他们很无礼，也不肯提供帮助。

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.

作为语言学习者，我真的鼓励你花钱时间练习正念，反思这些恐惧，并对自己友善一点，或从不同的角度来看观察他人的行为。

也许那个粗鲁的家伙实际上只是刚与女友分手，或者他丢了工作。

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.

你不要让他的行为或他不好的反应定义你以及你是怎样的一个说英语的人。

我其实在我的线上社群，也就是 The Ladies" Project 讨论过很多这件事情。

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.

这是一个学习英语的女性建立联系，学习技能并建立信心，特别是在英语会话中的信心的空间。

我在下面的说明中添加了一个小链接，这样你就可以进一步了解我们的工作，阅读我们的博客，还可以观看我们的一些会员的推荐。

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.
