As the pace of modern life continues to quicken, many people are in the habit of rushing through life. Some admit that stress seems to be on the increase all the time. A certain degree of stress is beneficial to us, but too much stress is certainly harmful, and sometimes may even harmful to our health and physique. So it is necessary to know how to reduce stress.

随着现代生活的节奏不断加快，许多人的一生都活在匆忙的习惯中。一些人承认压力似乎一直在增加。一定程度的压力对我们是有利的，但是过多的压力肯定是有害的，有时甚至可能损害我们的身体健康和体质。因此有必要知道如何减轻压力。

There are many ways that can help us solve this problem, but the following may be the most effective. First, learn to come to terms with yourselves. Don't set a goal that is too high because there are many things in this world that are beyond your reach. Learn to be content to go as far as you can. Second, learn to come to terms with the world around you. Don't try to change other people or other things. There are people and things in this world that you can do nothing about. So learn to accept them. Third, don't be too interested in material things and don't try to "keep up with the Joneses." Don't harbor any jealousy¹, vanity² or resentment³ to others. Be satisfied with what you have. Finally, keep in touch with your friends. Talk with them, share with them your happiness and misery⁴. This will help to make you feel better.

有很多方法可以帮助我们解决这个问题，但下面的可能是最有效的。第一，学习接受自己。不要设定太高的目标，因为在这个世界上有很多事情是超出你的能力范围的。学会尽量满足自己。第二，学习适应你周围的世界。不要试途去改变其他人或其他东西。这个世界上的有些人和有些事是你无法改变的。所以要学会接受他们。第三，不要过于关注物质的东西，不要试图攀比。“不要怀有任何嫉妒，虚荣，或者怨恨之心。满足于你所拥有的。最后，和你的朋友保持联系。与他们谈话，与他们分享你的快乐和痛苦。这将有助于使你感觉更好。

These are not necessarily the only ways to solve the problem, and it is my hope that everyone can reduce the too much stress in his work and study and live a relaxed happy life.

这些不一定是唯一解决问题的途径，我希望每个人都可以在他的工作和学习上减轻过多的压力，活得更轻松。
