3. Running late
遲到
Being chronically tardy can interfere with both your personal and professional relationships, making you look disorganized or worse, disrespectful.
總是遲到會影響你的個人和職場人際關系,給人留下散漫甚至是不尊重他人的印象。
不過遲到也許并不是你的本意,而是因為你對自己太過自信。據《紐約時報》援引心理學作家戴安娜?狄隆佐的話稱:
"Many late people tend to be both optimistic and unrealistic and this affects their perception of time. They really believe they can go for a run, pick up their clothes at the dry cleaners, buy groceries and drop off the kids at school in an hour."
“很多愛遲到的人都比較樂觀,且不切實際,這影響了他們的時間觀念。他們真的認為,自己可以在一小時之內完成跑步、到干洗店取衣服、買日用品以及去送孩子到學校的工作?!?/p>
In other words, late people hope for and expect the best - which can be a double-edged sword in daily life.
換句話說,愛遲到的人總是做最好的打算,而這在日常生活中可能是把雙刃劍。
4. Complaining
抱怨
No one wants to be that friend who goes on and on about his annoying coworker, the rain, and the lousy service at the restaurant where he just ate.
沒有人想要不停向朋友抱怨自己的同事有多討厭、雨下得有多惱人,或者自己用餐的飯店服務有多差。
Meanwhile, recent research cited in The Atlantic found that those who complain more mindfully - meaning they have a specific end result in mind - are happier than those who simply vent.
不過,《大西洋月刊》上一項新的研究發(fā)現,更加慎重抱怨的人(這種人的腦海中有一個明確的終極結果),比那些單純宣泄的人更快樂。
If you need to complain, there's a way to express some negativity without turning off everyone around you or exacerbating the situation. According to psychologist Guy Winch, there's a "right" way to gripe.
如果你需要抱怨,有一種方法既可以抒發(fā)負面情緒,又不會讓周圍的人感到厭煩或讓情況惡化。據心理專家蓋伊?溫奇稱,抱怨也是有“正確”的方法的。
"An effective complaint is about an issue that can be remedied, and is addressed to someone who has the power to fix it."
“有效的抱怨會圍繞一個可以補救的問題進行,而且抱怨的對象要是有能力處理這個問題的人?!?/p>
