瞬间秒杀听力 第507期:保持好的心情

It is true that life is full of ups and downs.

We feel happy when something good happens to us.

For example, when we learn

we have passed a test with flying colors,

we can't wait to share the good news

with our parents or friends.

However, we feel pretty down and depressed¹

when something bad happens to us.

No one will feel happy if they fail a test

or if they are fired from their job.

It is important, therefore, that we should

keep a pleasant mood

when we run into frustrations².

人生充满起起落落，这是事实。

当好事情发生时我们会感到高兴。

比如，我们在获知我们高分通过考试时，

便迫不及待地跟爸妈或朋友分享这个好消息。

然而，有不好的事发生时，我们便会感到消沉沮丧。

考试不及格或工作被炒鱿鱼，

任凭谁也高兴不起来。

因此，我们遇到挫折时

应保持愉悦的心情，这点很重要。
