 　　Common Symptoms of Too Much Stress

　　压力太大的共同特征

　　What Are Your Stress Symptoms?

　　你表现出来的工作压力症状有哪些?

　　We all experience stress in our daily lives from different sources: jobs, relationships, finances. And whether you're dealing¹ with a daily stressor, chronic² stress, or a major life challenge like illness or divorce, stress can take a significant toll³ on you both physically⁴ and emotionally. How do you know when you're dealing with a level of stress that's unhealthy for you?

　　我们在日常生活中承受着各方面的压力：工作、交际、财政。而且，不管你是在处理日常压力、慢性压力还是生活中如死亡或离婚等重大变故，压力都会给你的身心造成重大的影响。该如何确定你正在面临的压力是不健康的呢?

　　The answer to this question can be trickyfor a few reasons:

　　由于一些原因，这个问题的答案可能会不同：

　　1) Stress affects the body in many different ways. Some of these are obvious, but others may not be as noticeable or easy to detect until they become more severe.

　　压力会对身体造成多方面的影响。有些是明显的，但有一些压力在恶化之前，你可能注意不到或很难注意到。

　　2) Different people are affected⁵ more or less intensely, and in different ways.

　　每个人受压力影响的方式不同、程度不同。

　　3) The effects of stress often look like symptoms of other illnesses (partially due to the fact that stress lowers immunity⁶ and makes us vulnerableto many things), sometimes people mistake symptoms of illness for stress and vice⁷ versa.

　　有时候承受压力的症状和一些病症看起来会很像(尤其是压力会降低免疫力、让我们更容易遭受很多病毒的攻击)所以人们在很多情况下都会误认为病症是压力的征兆或将压力误认为是病症。

　　4) People who thrive on stress tend to feel it as their natural state, making it more difficult to discern stress symptoms until after much of their stress is alleviated⁸.

　　正在承受压力的人往往认为这是他们的自然状态，这样会让他们很难意识到压力的征兆，直到大部分压力都减轻之后才有所察觉。

　　5) When under high levels of stress, people often find it difficult to stop and notice their body’s responses.

　　在承受高压的时候，人们往往会发现很难遏制或注意到身体对压力的反应。
