I'm Patrick.Patrick: 嘿大家好，谢谢来 Beyond English 不止英语和我们聚会。我是 Patrick。Mandy: And I'm Mandy. Patrick, today we are talking about stress, right?Mandy: 我是 Mandy。Patrick，今天我们聊聊压力，对吧？Patrick: Yes, or more accurately, how to stop stress.Patrick: 是的，或者更准确地说，如何停止压力。Mandy: Good, because I am so frustrated right now! I was waiting in line for coffee, and the person in front of me took ten minutes to order! I wanted to yell at him!Mandy: 太好了，因为我现在真的很烦！我刚才排队买咖啡，前面那个人点单花了十分钟！我真想对他大喊！Patrick: Whoa, Mandy. That sounds intense. The phrase you're looking for is: Chill out. You need to chill out.Patrick: 哇，Mandy。听起来好激烈。你要找的短语是：Chill out（冷静一下）。你需要冷静一下。Mandy: Chill out. It simply means to relax?Mandy: Chill out。它的意思仅仅是放松吗？Patrick: Ideally, it refers to changing your emotional state from hot and angry to cool and relaxed.Patrick: 理想情况下，它指的是将你的情绪状态从火热愤怒转变为冷静放松。Mandy: Why "chill"?Mandy: 为什么要用 "chill"（寒冷/冷却）？Patrick: Picture this in your head. Imagine a thermometer. When you are angry, the temperature goes up. You are "hot."Patrick: 在脑海里想象一下。想象一个温度计。当你生气时，温度会上升。你是“热”的。Mandy: Yes, my face feels hot when I am mad.Mandy: 是的，我生气的时候脸感觉很烫。Patrick: To "chill out" is like putting ice on that thermometer. You bring the temperature down to a cool, comfortable level.Patrick: "Chill out" 就像是把冰块放在温度计上。你把温度降到一个凉爽、舒适的水平。Mandy: I like that visual. Cooling down the heat. So, Patrick, can I use this with my friends? Like, if my friend is panicking about a first date?Mandy: 我喜欢这个画面。冷却热度。那么，Patrick，我可以和朋友用这个吗？比如，如果我的朋友对初次约会感到恐慌？Patrick: Absolutely. If she is nervous, saying "Hey, chill out, it will be fine" is very friendly. It means "don't worry."Patrick: 当然可以。如果她很紧张，说“嘿，放松点（chill out），没事的”是非常友好的。意思是“别担心”。Mandy: That is good to know. But what about at work? If my boss is angry, can I tell him to chill out?Mandy: 知道了。那在工作中呢？如果我的老板生气了，我可以叫他 chill out 吗？Patrick: No! Definitely not. That is a trap.Patrick: 不！绝对不行。那是个陷阱。Mandy: Why?Mandy: 为什么？Patrick: If you tell your boss to "chill out," it sounds very rude and disrespectful. It sounds like you don't care about the problem. Only use it with friends.Patrick: 如果你叫你老板 "chill out"，听起来非常无礼和不尊重。听起来像你不在乎那个问题。只对朋友用。Mandy: Okay, noted. Only for friends. Now, what is the difference between this and "Calm down"?Mandy: 好的，记住了。只对朋友用。现在，这和 "Calm down"（冷静下来）有什么区别？Patrick: "Calm down" is usually an instruction when someone is acting crazy. It is more serious.Patrick: "Calm down" 通常是当某人表现得疯狂时的一种指令。它更严肃。Mandy: And chill out?Mandy: 那 chill out 呢？Patrick: "Chill out" is more slang. It can also describe a vibe. You can say "I am just chilling out at home," which means you are relaxing. But you can't say "I am calming down at home" unless you were angry before.Patrick: "Chill out" 更像俚语。它也可以描述一种氛围/状态。你可以说“我正在家里 chilling out”，意思是你在放松。但你不能说“我正在家里 calming down”，除非你之前很生气。Mandy: So chilling out is a lifestyle!Mandy: 所以 chilling out 是一种生活方式！Patrick: Exactly. Listeners, how do you chill out after a busy day?Patrick: 没错。听众朋友们，你们在忙碌的一天后如何放松？Mandy: Tell us in the comments. Maybe listening to this podcast helps!Mandy: 在评论区告诉我们。也许听这个播客有帮助！Patrick: We hope so. Catch you later!Patrick: 我们希望如此。回见！________________________________________如果你喜欢我们的节目，欢迎你推荐给更多感兴趣的朋友，也欢迎你在我们的评论区留言交流。在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
