英语翻译
"Daydreaming again,Barb?You'll never amount to anything if you spend your time that way!Can't you find something useful to do?" Many youngsters have heard words like those from their parents.And until recently this hostile attitude towards daydreaming was the most common one.Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time.Or it was considered and unhealthy escape from real life and its duties.But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming.Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do.
Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way that attitudes towards night dreaming have changed.Once it was thought that nighttime dreams interfered with our needed rest.But then researchers tried interrupting the dreams of sleepers.They learned that sleepers who aren't allowed to dream lost the benefits of rest.They become tense and anxious.They become irritable.They have trouble concentrating.Their mental health is temporarily damaged.To feel well again,they must be allowed to dream.
Now researchers are finding that daydreaming may also be important to mental health.Daydreaming,they tell us,is a good means of relaxation.But its benefits go beyond this.A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.
Dr.Joan T.Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth.It also improves concentration,attention span,and the ability to get along with others,she says.In an experiment with school children,this same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to detail.They had more happy feelings.They worked together better.Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities.
But that's only part of the story.The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be.Industrialist Henry J.Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming.He maintained that "you can imagine your future." Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse.The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor.For these notable achievers,it appears that their daydreams came true.
Dr.Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we picture ourselves is often the way we turn out.He offered this advice:"Hold a picture of yourself … in your mind's eye,and you will be drawn toward it.Picture yourself vividly as defeated,and that will make victory impossible.Picture yourself as winning,and that will contribute immeasurably to success.Do not picture yourself as anything,and you will drift ……"

“你又在做白日梦,鲍勃?如果你总是把时间用在做梦上面,你决不会有出息的!你就不能找些有用处的事情做吗?”许多青少年从他们父母的口中听到像这样的话,直到现在,他们对白日做梦的敌视态度是最普遍的一种.白日梦被视为浪费时间.或者被认为,在现实生活和责任中,它是不健康、焦虑的逃避.但现在有些人开始重新审视白日做梦了.有人认为它可能是一个很健康的事.
对白日梦的态度正在改变,像以同样的方式已经改变对夜间做梦的态度.以前人们认为夜间做梦会干扰休息.但当研究人员试图阻断露宿者的梦时.他们发现,不允许有梦的失去了休息的健康.他们变得紧张和焦虑.他们变得易怒.他们矛盾开始集中.他们的精神健康是暂时损坏.当他们好起来时,他们一定是允许可以有梦了.
如今,研究人员发现,白日梦也可能是重要的心理健康.白日梦,他们告诉我们,是放松的好办法.但是,它的好处超出这一点.有一批心理学家进行了实验,并达成了一些令人吃惊的结论.
乔博士的结论是白日梦有助于智力的发展.它也增强了注意力集中能力,并能更好的与人相处,她说.在接受学童实验,研究人员同样发现,做白日梦的孩子更加注重细节.他们有更多幸福的感觉.他们在一起工作更好.另一位研究人员报告说,白日梦似乎产生改善自我控制和创造能力.
但是,这只是部分的故事.关于白日梦也许是在塑造我们的未来生活是有益的,就像我们希望它们是最了不起的事情.实业家亨利凯泽认为,他的成功在很大程度上是由于积极利用的白日梦.他认为,“你可以任意想像你的未来.”南丁格尔的梦想是成为一名护士.年轻的托马斯爱迪生把自己描绘成一个发明家.对于后来的显着的成绩,可以看到他们的白日梦成真了.
艾默生福斯迪克哈里博士认为,我们会走向我们描绘自己的路途.他提出这样的建议：“带一张自己的图...把它放在自己的眼睛中,那么你会自动的向它走去.如果把自己描绘成失败者,那么就不可能会胜利.想像自己是胜利者,那将会取得不可估量的贡献的成功.不要把自己描绘成能做任意事,你会不知不觉的失去自己......“
