managed译文第一篇华盛顿,月日新华社——周三,美国多家主要媒体预测共和党总统候选人唐纳德•特116朗普已经获得了足够的选举人团选票,赢得总统大选,引起了公众的担忧当天早些时候,特朗普在美国佛罗里达州西棕桐滩会议中心登台向支持者发表讲话并宣布胜利在选举中,获得张选票的一半以上的候选人赢得总统选举他的民主党对手、美国副538总统卡马拉•哈里斯在她位于华盛顿的母校霍华德大学的选举夜没有发表讲话在总统竞选期间,几家美国媒体预测共和党将在从民主党手中翻转两个席位后重新控制美国参议院唯一未解决的问题是众议院,这使得众议院的争夺成为民主党在华盛顿保持权力立足点并抵制第二任特朗普政府的最后机会,据希拉里报道这次选举被广泛认为是美国历史上最具争议的选举之一,引起了选民的深切关注根据美国心理学会的年度调查,的美国成年人表示国家的未来是他们生活中一个重要的压力来源77%此外,的人表示他们担心选举结果可能导致暴力74%查塔姆研究所副研究员布鲁斯•斯托克斯Chatham HouseBruce Stokes说“美国现在在意识形态和政治方面比世纪年代以来的任何时候都更加分裂美国1950的朋友和盟友需要明白,美国已经成为一个分裂的美国实际上存在两个美洲一一它们正在交战”这也成为美国历史上最具争议性和代价最高的竞选活动之一根据的数据,主OpenSecrets要政党竞选活动、相关政治行动委员会和其他团体的政治支出预计将达到创纪录的亿PAC159美元,美国亿万富翁将深度参与其中在远离政治几十年后,比尔•盖茨最近向支持哈里斯总统竞选的非营利组织捐赠了约万5000美元与此同时,世界首富埃隆•马斯克已向支持特朗普的超级政治行动委员会捐赠了多万7500美元尽管财政支出巨大,选民对国家的制度和政治前景越来越失望《纽约时报》/锡耶纳学院的一项民意调查显示,近一半的美国选民怀疑美国民主的有效性,的人认为它不能代表普通45%人四分之三的选民认为民主受到了威胁,超过一半的人认为政府主要服务于精英利益,这加剧了对腐败和深层次功能失调的担忧值得注意的是,根据民意调查,的选民表示政治体系58%需要重大改革或全面改革总部设在华盛顿的阿拉伯裔美国人协会主席詹姆斯•佐格比ArabAmericanInstitute James说“选举结束后,无论谁获胜,我们都会更加分裂,我们脆弱的民主和国家的统一面临Zogby更大的风险”第二篇我们如今生活在一个很不重视心理健康的文化中现实中有许多难以启齿的状况有些人告诉你把事自己消化了就好,或振作起来,或别担心,或说你想太多了但我在这告诉你,焦虑症就像糖尿病般真实存在大家好,我是詹博士,我从我的病人身上发现了一个现象他们经常向我描述一些焦虑症的典型症状不断担心,难以入睡,肌肉紧张和难以集中注意力,但他们并没有寻求治疗这个国家存在着许多心理健康的保健问题有些人没有这方面的医疗保险,有些人的症治曾被忽略不计,有些则认为治疗也不会有好转有些人担心心理问题将会成为未来的绊脚石,为以后的工作和生活增加麻烦但重度焦虑并不是一个人的挫折或失败,而是一个健康隐患,就像咽喉炎或糖尿病一样,焦虑症也应该被一视同仁在讨论焦虑症之前,我们先了解一下焦虑本身焦虑是一种普遍和正常的情绪,我们在压力下都会感到焦虑它跟恐惧有所关联但恐惧是当我们受到短暂的威胁时做出的反应,而焦虑是当我们受到不明确的威胁时做出的长久的反应这都是我们身体监测危险系统的一部分,所有动物身上都有这个系统,来保护我们免受掠食者的威胁、焦虑始于大脑的杏仁核,一对杏仁大小的神经提醒大脑的其他区域做好防御行动的准备然后,下丘脑传递信号,引发我们所谓的身体压力反应导致肌肉紧张,呼吸和心跳加速,并且血压升高脑干区域开始启动,使人处于高度警觉状态这就是所谓的“战斗或逃跑反应”fight-or-flight有一些方法可以控制战斗或逃跑的反应,利用一个称为前额叶皮层的高级思维区域举一个例子假如一个人看见一个危险的东西,比如老虎,那将向大脑杏仁核发送信号,告诉它说“赶快跑”而大脑前额叶片层则说“你看,这老虎被关在一个笼子里你知道笼子是什么吧?它是逃不出来的可以放松了”这是一个循环的反馈,可以帮助控制我们的反应,脑部的海马体也参与其中它们可以判断情况,比如“我们之前也见过老虎被关在笼子里,我们现在在动物园,你非常安全J第二扁:由于焦虑,这些减少或抑制威胁的检测系统无法正常运行,导致我们担心未来和我们的安全但是对于很多人来说,他们将经历疲劳过度他们经历持续的焦虑,扰乱他们的工作、学校和人际关系,并导致他们刻意避免可能引发焦虑的场合焦虑症并不罕见根据世界心理健康调查的数据,研究人员估计大约的人目前患有或曾经患有焦虑症16%这包括社交焦虑症,恐慌症,空间恐惧症和其他的恐惧症研究表明那些患有焦虑症的人不仅面对压力会有不同的反应他们大脑运转的方式可能存在差异这种模型描述了杏仁核和大脑其他部分之间连接中可能出现的混淆发出焦虑信号的路径变得更强,他越焦虑,路径就越强,最终变成一个恶性循环这是关于改变大脑模式,研究表明,我们的大脑具有能力重组并在我们的一生中建立新的联系一个好的开始是做好基础工作饮食均衡,经常锻炼,并且保持睡眠充足,因为大脑也是身体的一部分尝试冥想也可能有所帮助好消息是有治疗焦虑症的方法,确保你不必经历苦难请记住,这与弱点无关与其心率上升和身体紧张,不如通过呼吸来减缓“战斗或逃跑反应”,并改善我们当下的感受认知行为疗法是一种谈话疗法,也是很有帮助的一种在其中,你将学会如何识别令人不安的想法并确认他们是否符合现实随着时间的推移,认知行为疗法可以重建这些抑制焦虑反应的神经通路药剂也能缓解焦虑,无论是短期还是长期在短期内,当体内威胁检测系统超速运转时,抗焦虑药物可以帮助缓解研究表明,长期药物治疗和认知行为治疗都可以减少我们在焦虑症中看到的脑部杏仁核的过度反应高血压和糖尿病都可以循序渐进慢慢治疗或控制,那么焦虑症也是如此。
