世界節(jié)假日博覽 第115期:國際恐慌日

Are you a panic? Do you panic easily? Are you ever in a blind panic? Do you suffer from panic attacks? If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes’, then there is a special day for you. June 18 is International Panic Day. It is a day when it is OK to be worried and concerned and run around panic-stricken. No one really knows where this day originated, but it seems a good idea to have a day when we can all freak out. Or maybe it’s a day when we tell others not to panic. “Don’t panic. Do NOT hit the panic button. Do not hit panic stations. The world is not about to end!” I’m sure this will calm down your panicking and panicky friends. It is strange that all previous International Panic Days have gone so smoothly.

你曾感到恐慌嗎？你很容易驚慌嗎？你曾陷入莫名的恐慌嗎？你是否患有恐慌癥？如果你的答案中有“是”，那么就請笑納該節(jié)日。6月18日為國際恐慌日。在這天里，允許你有憂心忡忡，心慌慌的感覺。沒人知道它的起源，但舉國“惶惶”還是一個不錯的選擇。我們還可以告誡人們不要恐慌。“不要恐慌，不要驚慌失措。不要惴惴不安。這還不是世界末日!”這定能緩解朋友的恐慌情緒。令人不解的是，此前的國際恐慌日都過得平平淡淡。


So what is panic, exactly? It is a sudden, uncontrollable fear or anxiety that makes us lose our ability to think normally. Panic takes over our mind and makes us behave in a frightened way. We typically panic in dangerous situations such as earthquakes or at the sound of gunfire. Panic can spread very quickly. We see this where there are large crowds of people and something happens to create panic. Soon there is a stampede, which can be fatal. People also panic if they think they are going to lose money. We read all the time about 'financial’, 'stock market’ and 'economic’ panic. We see people in a panic every day, rushing to meet a deadline or trying to find a lost document on a messy desk. What’s the best way to act in a panic situation?

到底什么是恐慌？它是一種突然性，不可控的恐懼或焦慮感，使我們失去正常思考的能力?？只耪紦?jù)我們的內心，讓我們表現(xiàn)得戰(zhàn)戰(zhàn)兢兢。我們尤其會在危險時恐慌，例如地震或突然聽到槍響。恐慌感可迅速蔓延。聚眾人群在遇突發(fā)事件時容易恐慌。并很容易發(fā)生致命踩踏。當要遭遇經濟損失時，人們也會感到驚慌。我們經常會聽到“金融恐慌”、“股票市場恐慌”以及“經濟恐慌”。我們每天都會看到恐慌，臨近截止日期，或是在亂麻的書桌上尋找丟失的文件。那么在恐慌中，我們的最佳應對策略又應是什么？
