英语演讲：为什么现代人变得越来越焦虑和抑郁？

Why do you think that depression, anxiety, suicide are so rampant right now? See, one thing is the survival processes become easier than ever before. Believe me, in the morning, if you need a bucket full of water, if you had to walk a mile to the river to get one bucket of water and your family needed 25 buckets of water, you would have no time to mess yourself. Now, you have a lot of time to mess yourself because our survival is better organized than ever before.

你认为为什么抑郁、焦虑、自杀现在如此猖獗?第一是，生存过程比以前更容易了。相信我，明天早上，如果你需要一桶水，如果你必须走一英里到河边去打一桶水，而你的家人需要25桶水，你不会有时间去折腾自己。现在，你有大把的时间来折磨自己，因为我们的生存比以往任何时候都更有条理。

Another thing is most human beings do not know how to manage their biochemistry without physical activity. I have seen a whole lot of people, particularly teenage boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 16 who come to me with some severe violent problems within themselves.

第二，大多数人不知道如何在没有身体活动的情况下管理他们的心里活动。我见过很多人，尤其是年龄在12到16岁之间的十几岁的男孩和女孩，他们来找我，他们内心有一些严重的暴力倾向。

If you leave them like that, they may kill themselves or kill somebody else. That in that kind of state, obviously we're doing something fundamentally wrong with the society, isn't it? Yes. Our goals and our stupid ideas of what is success is driving them nuts, because we are trying to use our children like racehorses.

如果你让他们这样做，他们可能会自杀或杀人。在这种状态下，很明显我们在做一些根本上错误的事情，不是吗?我们的目标和我们关于成功的愚蠢想法把他们逼疯了，因为我们试图把我们的孩子当作赛马来利用。

In what way are they like race horses? See, when you understand life as a race, if you're in a race, what's the objective? You must reach the finish line quick, isn't it? Yes. What is the finish line of your life? Death. There you have it. This may not be a conscious process, but life with the new is understanding it like that. When you see, you must understand this.

它们在哪些方面像赛马?当你把生活理解为一场比赛，如果你在比赛中，目标是什么?你必须尽快到达终点线，是吗?是的。你生命的终点是什么?死亡。就是这样。这可能不是一个有意识的过程，但当下就这样理解它。当你看到的时候，你必须明白这一点。

Whether you are conscious it of conscious of it or not, any human being right now, if you make yourself miserable, you must understand you are sending a message to every cell in the body that I don't want to live. You might not have articulated it in your head yet, but when you become miserable, you notice suddenly your body seems heavy and it's like, doesn't want to get up from this chair.

不管你是否意识到，现在任何一个人，如果你让自己痛苦，你必须明白，你在向身体的每一个细胞发送一个信息，我不想活下去了。你可能还没有在脑海中清晰地表达出来，但当你变得痛苦时，你会突然注意到你的身体似乎很沉重，好像不想从椅子上站起来。

Have you seen this? Yes. Why this is happening is the message is gone to every cell in the body. This guy wants to die. They are all thinking, okay, what can we do to help him? But by then, of course, you recover. So you want to die, you want to live, you want to die, you want to live.

你看过这个吗?发生这种情况的原因是信息被传递到身体的每一个细胞。这家伙想死。他们都在想，我们能做些什么来帮助他?当然，到那时，你已经康复了。你想死，你想活，你想死，你想活。

The body is getting confused because you must understand this is a very intelligent body. It's taking instructions from you. Every cell in the body has enormous sense of memory and intelligence. If you keep sending wrong messages, if they act you did because you're sending contradictory messages, you're not dead. You're half dead. This is supposed to work for you, but now you've turned it against yourself. It's working against you.

身体开始困惑了，因为你必须明白这是一个非常聪明的身体。它在接受你的指令。身体的每一个细胞都有巨大的记忆和智力。如果你一直发送错误的信息，如果他们因为你发送矛盾的信息而这么做，虽然你还没有死，但是你的身体已经快半死了。这应该对你有用，但现在你却反其道而行之。这对你是不利的。
