三、听力全部文本及翻译：

Henry: I'd like to thank you both for coming along today. Pam, this is your new book ‘Taking the Blues out of Work – how to deal with work-related health problems'.

Pam: Yes.

Henry: And Steve, you've just recovered from work burnout, one of the most serious – and common – work-related problems, yes?

Steve: Yes, that's right. I'm in the book! (laughing). Pam used me as a case study.

Pam: Yes. Steve came along to my clinic for help. He had a serious case of burnout. He followed a course of therapy and …

Steve: … and she helped me to get my health back again.

Henry: That's great. It's good to hear there's a happy ending. Pam, could you tell us what work burnout actually is? Aren't we just talking about stress here? Is there a difference?

Pam: Yes, there is a difference! A very big difference. But that's a good question because most people make the mistake of thinking that burnout is just another word for stress – so I'll start with that. Everyone understands stress. We live in a world where stress is part of our everyday lives. Burnout can be the result of too much stress but it isn't the same thing. I once heard somebody say that if stress is like drowning in an overload of work, burnout is more like being all dried up. With stress we lose our energy, with burnout we lose much more – our motivation, our hope … and one very important difference between stress and burnout is that we know when we are stressed but we don't usually realise we are suffering from burnout …

Henry: … until it's too late.

Pam: Exactly.

Henry: Steve, how did you know that your problem was more serious than just being stressed?

Steve: Well, I didn't realise myself. Other people realised first. I changed my behaviour and started feeling really negative and cynical about everything. That wasn't me at all. I've always been a happy-go-lucky sort of bloke. It got to the point where I felt so hopeless and depressed that I couldn't even face getting up in the morning. My wife made me an appointment with the doctor. He was helpful and referred me to Pam.

Pam: Steve was lucky to have the support of his family and friends. It's difficult to get better on your own. It's important to do normal things – exercise, socialise, go for a walk, meet a friend for a coffee …

Henry: And did Steve need medication?

Steve: No.

Pam: We decided to try with everything else first … medication can be effective – anti-depressants aren't the same these days as they used to be – but Steve got better without any. In fact it was something he felt quite strongly about.

Steve: I don't even like taking an aspirin unless I really have to so I think I made a real effort to listen to Pam and do the things she suggested. I even started meditating!

Henry: Meditating?

Pam: Yes, it can really help. It calms the mind and helps to shut out the world's distractions.

Henry: And how are you now, Steve?

Steve: I feel great. Better than I have for years. (laughing)

Henry: I'm glad to hear it ... now let's talk a bit … (fade out)

Henry: 我想谢谢你俩今天能来，P, 这是你的新书“带走工作郁闷 - 如何处理职场健康问题”

P: 是的。

H: S, 听说你刚刚熬过工作倦怠症，这可是最严重也是最常见的职场问题，是么？

S: 可不呗，我就是书里活生生的例子。

P: 对，S 当时来我的诊所求助，他症状很严重，他后来进行了一个疗程…

S: 他又让我重回健康。

H: 真棒。能康复再好不过了，P 你能给我们具体说说 work burnout 到底是啥呗？这不就是一种压力症状么？它俩又有什么区别么？

P: 对，有区别。而且非常明显。你问的很好，因为大部分的人都错误以为 work burnout 只不过是压力，换了一种说法。我就先从压力说起。人人都懂得什么是压力。我们只要活在地球上，压力就常相伴。Burnout 可能是巨大压力的结果，但是又有所不同。我听过一个人形容的很贴切，他说，如果压力是你被繁重压力活活淹死的话，burnout 是整个人被榨干了。压力让我们丧失的是能量，而 burnout 让我们消解更多，我们的动力，希望等等。而最最重要的区别是，我们可以感知到压力，但却无法意识到已经被 burnout 侵蚀。

H: 意识到的时候就为时已晚了。

P: 说的太对了。

H: S, 你是咋知道你经历的不是压力过大，而是更严重的问题的?

S: 其实吧，我根本没发现。是其他人先察觉到不对劲的。他们发现我行为反常，负能量爆棚，对一切都悲观怀疑。他们发现我变了个人似的。我之前可是一个纯粹的乐天派啊。最后都什么程度了呢，我早晨都不想起床，觉得人生灰暗，了无生趣。我老婆安排我看医生，我的私人医生把我引荐给了 P。

P: S 属于幸运的人，他能有家人与朋友这最后的稻草。因为独自一人是很难康复的。康复的重要方法来自日常的行为，健身、社交、散步、约友人喝喝咖啡等等。

H: 那 S 不需要吃药？

S: 不需要。

P: 我们决定先用所有不用药物干涉的疗法。虽然药物可能有效，抗抑郁药物的疗效今非昔比。但是 S 却无药自愈。而他自己恰恰也非常坚持不用药物干涉。

S: 平时不到万不得已我连普通的阿司匹林都不用。我就尽力配合大夫的建议，努力康复。我甚至开始练习冥想。

H: 冥想？

P: 对，真的很有用。冥想让我内心平静，帮我阻隔外界干扰，回归内心。

H: 那现在整个状态怎么样了？

S: 好极了，比之前几年好多了。

H: 替你开心。
