　　People have various ways of relieving stress. What are some of the ways that you find most effective in relieving stress? Give reasons and examples to support your response.

　　人们缓解压力的方式确实千差万别：有人痛哭，有人大笑，有人狂饮，有人狂舞，凡此种种，不一而足。可我感到对自己来讲最有效的方式是猛睡觉和散长步。

　　The way or ways that people relieve their stress are very much different: some cry, some laugh, some overdrink themselves and some dance wildly, so on and so forth, to name just a few. However, the two most effective ways that work on me are sleeping in and taking long walks.

　　我们先来看看睡大觉的诸多好处。睡大觉可以使我们紧张、疲劳的神经得到休息。压力大时，我们往往会感到烦躁、容易上火，这只会加重我们的压力感。一有机会，猛睡一场，我们的神经就会得到相应的调整，从而有助于克服紧张和疲劳。另外，睡大觉可以使我们暂时把压力忘记。进入睡眠状态后，我们便不会再去思考压力的问题，一切的一切都暂时归于平静，等醒来的时候，压力感往往会变得小了。当然，睡大觉并非是随时随地都可以做到的，而是要找时间，在工作允许的情况下。

　　Now let’s look at the many advantages of sleeping in. Sleeping in may help ease our nervousness and give our exhausted nerves a break. While under pressure, we tend to be impatient and easily lose our temper which could only aggravate our feeling of pressure. Sleeping in once there is a chance can help adjust our nerves and this is conducive to getting over nervousness and tiredness. Furthermore, sleeping in can let us forget all about the stress for the time being. Once falling asleep, we would be free from thinking about the stress any longer and everything recedes to temporary tranquility, so when we wake up, the stress is not that strong anymore. Of course, we are unable to sleep in wherever we are and whenever we want to, rather, we need to find time, that is, when work allows us to do so.

　　我们再来看看散长步的绝妙之处。散步本身就是最好的体育锻炼，可以使我们保持健康的身体，从而增强我们排压的能力和长远的健康。同时，散长步的过程中我们可以一边欣赏周围的景色，一边思考大脑中的问题。这样，我们一边锻炼，一边赏景，一边思考，三合一，压力也就成了很小的一部分烦扰了。

　　Next, let’s take a look at some of the positive points of taking long walks. As we know, taking a walk itself is the best form of exercise that can help us keep fit, thus improving our capability to alleviate or eradicate pressure which in turn makes for our long-term health. Meanwhile, taking long walks provides us with opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding sceneries and to think over the problems in our mind. Therefore, we are actually doing exercises, feasting our eyes on the sceneries and thinking about things at the same time: all three in one, which means that stress or pressure becomes only a small part of the whole process.

　　总之，经过我多年的实际验证，这两种方式对于缓解，甚至是彻底排除压力具有极佳的效果，因此，我向朋友们高度推荐，希望它们在你的身上也能产生实际效果。

　　In general, my own experience across the years has proved that the above mentioned two ways are the most effective in terms of relieving and even eradicating stress, so I highly recommend them to you and hope they would produce the same effect on you.
