職稱英語(yǔ)考試閱讀材料之興趣愛(ài)好的好處

下面是一篇介紹興趣愛(ài)好的四大益處的相關(guān)文章，文章的內(nèi)容介紹的比較詳細(xì)，各位考生在準(zhǔn)備這類考試的時(shí)候，有必要針對(duì)這方敏信息進(jìn)行重點(diǎn)的了解和掌握，并且確保自己能夠在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)，更全面的備考相關(guān)信息。

When people say they are overloaded or cannot keep up with their todos, it is usually the result of taking on too much. Most of the time, I advise people that they need to “Say No” more often. Being able to “Say No” is key to avoiding being overcome by obligations others ask us to take on.

每當(dāng)人們感到壓力山大或事情總也做不完時(shí)，多半是因承受太多造成的。大部分情況下，我會(huì)建議他們多嘗試“說(shuō)不”。能夠“說(shuō)不”至關(guān)重要，可避免被別人要求幫忙的事情壓垮。

There is one exception… when it comes to saying no to yourself.

但也有例外——就是千萬(wàn)別對(duì)自己說(shuō)不。

When the going gets rough and people start buckling down, they start saying no to themselves first. After all, saying no to others is hard, saying no to yourself is easy.

遭遇困境時(shí)，人們首先會(huì)屈服，對(duì)自己說(shuō)不。畢竟，拒絕別人很難開(kāi)口，否定自己可就容易多了。

So, they begin denying themselves the things that keep them alive and energized. Leisure activities, sports, spending time with their family, are often the first things to go.

于是，人們開(kāi)始否定那些讓自己保持活力四射的事情。首當(dāng)其沖的便是休閑活動(dòng)、運(yùn)動(dòng)以及與家人共度的時(shí)光。

What is Your Hobby-

你的愛(ài)好是什么？

When people ask for advice because they are too busy at work, one of the first things I ask them is, “What is your hobby-” To which they respond, “Are you kidding- I don’t have time for a hobby!”

當(dāng)人們因?yàn)楣ぷ鞣泵Χ蛭仪笾鷷r(shí)，首先我會(huì)問(wèn)他“你的愛(ài)好是什么？”。結(jié)果他們會(huì)反問(wèn)道：“開(kāi)什么玩笑，我哪還有時(shí)間發(fā)展愛(ài)好！”

I tell them, “you don’t have time not to.” In fact, spending more time on yourself will result in more time and productivity at work.

我告訴他們：“時(shí)間有的是啊?！逼鋵?shí)，多花點(diǎn)時(shí)間在自己身上還能提高時(shí)間利用和工作的效率呢。

Huh- How can spending time doing something else result in more time to get your work done- It does. It seems to go against the time management proverb of “get more done by doing less.” However, spending time on yourself results in more time and more focus in your other endeavours.

??？花功夫做別的事情怎么可能有更多時(shí)間做好工作呢？千真萬(wàn)確。這似乎有違時(shí)間管理的諺語(yǔ)“事半功倍”。但是，多花點(diǎn)時(shí)間在自己身上確實(shí)能多出時(shí)間來(lái)，使你在其他事情上更加專注。

Finding Productivity in Leisure

休閑出效率

So, how does working out or painting or reading, get more done- （Some people are ready to clip this now and show it to their boss…“You want that report done- I gotta go to the gym, stat!”）

那么，健身、畫(huà)畫(huà)或閱讀怎么會(huì)讓工作更有效率呢？（有人要把這段文字拿給老板看了：“希望我完成報(bào)告嗎？那我可得去趟健身館，走啦！”）

People who are running ragged and cannot keep up with their commitments have often neglected themselves. You must keep your body and mind in top shape if you expect to perform at the top of your game.

那些精疲力竭無(wú)法完成任務(wù)的人，往往都對(duì)自己不夠照顧。如果你想混得好，就必須將身心保持在佳狀態(tài)。

Here are just a few of the benefits of having a hobby:

以下是擁有愛(ài)好的幾大益處：

1. Energizes You

使你保持活力

A hobby brings you renewed energy and excitement. This will carry over to the rest of your activities.

愛(ài)好帶給你全新的能量和激情，讓你在接下來(lái)的活動(dòng)中精力充沛。

2. Provides New Creativity

激發(fā)創(chuàng)新思維

I find that when you are doing your hobby it sparks your creativity. You are more likely to have creative breakthroughs. Solutions to problems you are facing will come to you.

我發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)你做喜歡的事情時(shí)，靈感會(huì)突然閃現(xiàn)，你很可能取得新的突破。面對(duì)的問(wèn)題也會(huì)迎刃而解。

3. Prevents Burnout

避免殫精竭慮

We know that anything, even a machine, doing the same thing over-and-over will eventually burnout. If you do not take a break to refresh yourself, you too will burnout. Interestingly, this is also true in our personal lives. It is equally important for our home relationships to have an individual hobby.

我們都知道，任何東西，哪怕是機(jī)器，周而復(fù)始地做同一件事情終也會(huì)崩潰。如果你不停下來(lái)休息休息，也肯定會(huì)垮掉。有趣的是，我們的個(gè)人生活也莫不如此。擁有個(gè)人愛(ài)好對(duì)家庭關(guān)系至關(guān)重要。

4. Personal Growth

個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)

We all need to keep growing both professionally and personally. I don’t care if your hobby is gardening, weightlifting, or reading, you will grow from it.

我們都需要獲得專業(yè)與個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)。不管你的愛(ài)好是園藝、舉重還是閱讀，你都能獲益匪淺。

Remember not to “Say No” to yourself. Invest in activities that lead to growth and renewal. Spend more time on yourself and you will have more productivity at work and all areas of your life.

請(qǐng)記?。呵f(wàn)別對(duì)自己“說(shuō)不”。去參加一些讓自己成長(zhǎng)、給自己充電的活動(dòng)吧，多為自己花點(diǎn)時(shí)間，你不僅工作更有效率，生活中的其他方面也能做好呢！

It just works that way.

愛(ài)好的作用就是這么神奇！
