What You Need to Know About Anxiety That No One Tells You If you’re reading this article, you have anxiety. How do I know this? Is it because you started to read this particular article? Actually, no. It’s because to be alive is to be anxious; there is no other way. 如果你在读这篇文章，你是有焦虑的。我是怎么知道的呢？是因为你开始读这篇文章吗？事实上，并不是。因为活着就是焦虑的，没有别的选择。 We all have anxiety—and for a very good reason. In fact, if we weren’t anxious by nature, we wouldn’t be here right now. In every living thing, anxiety is part of the survival instinct, the built-in response to perceived threats. This is what makes us drive carefully in a rainstorm and avoid walking too close to the edge of a cliff. 我们都有焦虑，而且都有很好的理由。事实上，如果我们不是天生就焦虑的话，现在就不会在这里了。在每一种生物中，焦虑是生存本能的一部分，是对感知到的威胁的内在反应。这就是让我们在暴雨中小心开车，避免走得离悬崖边缘太近的原因。 It’s our inner alarm system. It helps keep us alive. All living things have it. Even animals that are running for their lives from the predators chasing them down display anxiety. That’s what gets them moving. When seen in this way, anxiety isn’t pathological or dysfunctional; it’s a natural and appropriate response to a perceived threat. 这是我们的内部警报系统，有助于我们的生存，而且所有的生物都有。即使是逃避捕食者追捕它们的动物也表现出焦虑，这就是让他们前进的原因。从这种角度看，焦虑不是病态的，也不是功能失调的，而是对感知到的威胁作出的自然而恰当的反应。 A common belief about anxiety is that it’s an emotional disorder existing inside of a person, consisting of that person’s overthinking, excessive worrying, and fearfulness about the future. Anxiety is listed as a mental disorder, characterized by significant feelings of anxiety and fear. Most of the time, the professionals diagnosing this disorder, and the patients suffering from it, don’t even think or talk about the origins of anxiety. They don’t dig deeper into what’s going on; their sole focus is on getting rid of it. 关于焦虑的一种普遍看法是，焦虑是存在于内心的一种情绪障碍，包括过度思考、过度担忧和对未来的恐惧。焦虑被列为一种精神障碍，其特征是焦虑和恐惧。大多数情况下，诊断这种疾病的专家和患有这种疾病的患者，甚至都不会思考或谈论焦虑的根源。他们不会更深入地了解正在发生的事情，唯一的关注点只是摆脱它。 anxiety 焦虑 survival 生存 instinct 本能 diagnosing 诊断 alarm 警报 excessive 过度的 appropriate 恰当的 avoid 避免 response 反应
