Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure. Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.

在处于压力下，压力是让人心烦的一种状态。我们的情感和身体都感到不安。

We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress for too long. Stress can come at us from every direction. For instance, it can come from fights with other people. It can come when we have too many things to do and too little time to do them. It can also come when we do not have enough money to pay for what we want. Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn how to deal with it. There are good ways and bad ways to do so. We should deal with stress in good ways, of course. Good ways to cut down on stress include changing our lifestyles. For example, we can learn either to get along with people or to stay away from them. We can decide what to do now, what to do later, and what to leave off doing forever.

如果压力过大过长我们甚至会感到精神和身体不适。压力可以来自各个方面。例如，压力可以来自与他人的斗争中。可以来自当我们事情过多而时间过少时。也可以来自当我们没有足够的钱支付我们想要的东西时。由于压力可以使我们感到不适，我们必须学会处理它。有好的方式也有坏的方式。当然我们应该用好的方式来处理压力。减少压力的好办法包括改变我们的生活方式。例如，我们可以学习与他人相处人或远离他们。我们可以决定现在做什么，以后做什么，以及什么是永远不能做的。

We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want. We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.

我们还可以计算出如何挣钱，或者我们可以削减我们想要的。我们不应该用不好的方式来处理压力，因为用不好的方式降低应力只会导致更多的麻烦，例如，跳班或把工作遗留下来，把我们的问题归咎于别人，盗窃或欺骗。
