你可以从‘头脑特攻队’中学到的10件事情

 　　“Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head?”

　　“你有没有曾经看着某些人，好奇他们的脑袋里在想什么？”

　　Inside Out, a new animated¹ feature by Pixar, gives you a glimpse of what might be happening inside peoples’ heads. The movie revolves² around a happy 11 year old girl, Riley, who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco with her parents. However, instead of telling the story from Riley’s perspective, the story is told from the perspective of Riley’s dominant³ emotion, Joy.

　　头脑特攻队，一部由皮克斯动画新制作的电影，能让你看人的大脑内部可能会发生什么。电影围绕一个快乐的11岁女孩莱利讲述，她和父母一起从明尼苏达来到三藩。然而，故事并不是从赖利的角度讲，而是从赖利的主导情绪快乐的角度来讲述。

　　1. All of your emotions are useful

　　你所有的情绪都是有用的

　　However insignificant⁴ or negative some of your emotions may seem, they all play an important role in your well-being⁵. They help you survive. As mentioned in the movie, fear helps you to stay away from dangerous situation, disgust keeps you from getting poisoned and anger helps to keep things fair. All of them are useful when used in the right context.

　　不管你的情绪看起来多么的微不足道或消极，它们都在你的生活中扮演着重要的角色。它们帮助你生存。正如电影中所提到的，恐惧会帮助你远离危险的处境，厌恶让你远离毒害，而愤怒有助于保持事情的公平。所有这些都会在特定的情境下有用处。

　　2. Emotions are neither good nor bad

　　情绪即不好也不坏

　　Some emotions such as sadness are deemed to be bad or weak by many people. Some adults put on a happy front when times are bad. Some children are reprimanded by their parents for crying. However, there is nothing wrong about being sad. This movie shows you that sometimes sadness can help you get the support you need from others.

　　像悲伤这样的一些情绪被许多人认为是不好的或是一个弱点。一些大人在艰难时光时渴望幸福。有些孩子受到父母的训斥会哭泣。然而，悲伤并没有什么错。这部电影向你表明，有时悲伤可以帮助你从别人那里得到你需要的支持。

　　3. Suppressing your emotions is unhealthy压抑情绪不利于健康

　　You can’t be happy all the time. Suppressing your emotions is unhealthy in the long run. Not able to feel your feelings makes you numb⁶ or depressed⁷. Plus, if you don’t express or communicate your emotions to people who care about you, how would they know what you are genuinely feeling and when you need support?

　　你不可能一直快乐。长期情况下压抑情绪不利于健康。不能感受你的情绪会让你变得麻木沮丧。如果你不向关心你的人表达或交流你的情绪，他们怎么会知道你到底如何感受，什么时候需要支持呢？

　　4. Emotions come and go

　　情绪来来去去

　　For an emotionally stable and healthy person, emotions don’t stick around for long. They come and go. Feeling emotions and letting them go is so natural to human that we aren’t aware that emotions can be released easily.

　　对于一个情绪稳定和健康的人，情绪不会坚持很长时间。它们来了又去。感受情绪并让它们离开非常自然，我们甚至都没有意识到情绪可以很容易地得到释放。

　　When a person is angry, they replay the event that makes them angry in their head and that makes them even angrier. This movie shows that other emotions can easily step in to stop this unhealthy loop.

　　当人们生气时，他们在脑中重放让他们生气的事情，进而变得更加生气。这部电影告诉我们其它情绪可以很容易的步进我们的大脑，从而打断这不健康的循环。

　　5. Listen to emotions that keep showing up倾听一直出现的情绪

　　Emotions are good signals for your well-being. If a particular emotion keeps showing up, there must be a reason to it.

　　情绪是维持健康的好信号。如果有一种情绪一直出现，那肯定有其原因。

　　When you keep feeling down or angry, it means something isn’t right and you need to address it. It’s time to pay attention to your emotions and listen to what they are telling you. If it’s time to feel sad, feel the sadness. Give it the moment it deserves and then understand why you are feeling these emotions.

　　当你感到沮丧或生气时，这意味着有些事情是不正确的，你需要去解决它。是时候关注你的情绪，听它们在说什么了。如果应该感到悲伤，那就去悲伤。给它一刻值得的时间，然后弄明白为什么你会感觉这些情绪。

　　6. A memory can have more than one emotion一种记忆可以由不止一种情绪

　　Inside Out shows you that emotions aren’t as clear cut as you think. A memory can be both happy and sad. Riley’s happy memories that are made in Minnesota can be easily turned into sad memories because she misses her home. It all depends on which emotion is narrating⁸ the story inside your head.

　　头脑特攻队向你展示了情绪并不像你想的一般清楚。一种记忆可以是快乐和悲伤并存的。赖利在明尼苏达的快乐记忆可以很容易地因为想家而变成悲伤的记忆。这一切都取决于是你的哪种情感在你的头脑里叙述故事。

　　7. Your actions and decisions are influenced by your emotions你的情绪影响着你的行动和决定

　　Emotions can have a very big influence on your actions and decisions. From what you like or dislike to eat, to what you do when you face a problem; they play a huge part in your decision-making. They give you ideas or directions that help you to make decisions.

　　情绪会对你的行为和决定产生很大的影响。从你喜欢或不喜欢吃的东西，到当你面对难题时候所做的事情，它们都在你的决定中发挥了巨大的作用。它们给你的想法或方向，帮助你做出决定。

　　8. Your emotions don’t have the final say你的情绪并不有最终决定权

　　Even though emotions can influence you and your actions, they don’t have the final say. Ultimately, you have control and freedom to make your own decisions. Your emotions have no control over you unless you let them be in control.

　　尽管情绪会影响你和你的行动，但它们没有最终决定权。最终，你有控制权和自由做出你自己的决定。你的情绪无法控制你，除非你让它们控制。

　　9. You can be reactive to other people’s emotions你可以对他人的情绪做出反映

　　When one person is angry, the other person can get angry easily too. The exchange between Riley and her parents at the dining table shows that your emotions can be just a response to other people’s emotions. Sometimes, you can be so caught with the emotions that you don’t even realize that you are reacting to the other party’s emotion.

　　当一个人生气的时候，另一个人也会很容易生气。莱利和她的父母之间在餐桌上的交流表明你的情绪可以响应其他人的情绪。有时候，你可能会被情绪所吸引，以至于你根本没有意识到你对对方的情绪反应。

　　10. Embrace all your emotions

　　拥抱你所有的情绪

　　Emotions help to communicate your personality. Whether you like the emotions that you are feeling or not, embrace them all. They make your life more colorful and complete.

　　情绪有助于沟通你的个性。不管你是否喜欢你感觉到的情绪，都要拥抱它们。它们让你的生活更加丰富完整。
