Script

Emotion（感性）issometimesregardedas（把……认做）theopposite（相反的）ofreason（理性）;Asissuggestedbyphrasesuchas”appealto（呼吁）emotionsratherthanreason”and“don’tletyouremotionstakeover”.Emotionalreactions（反应）sometimesproduceconsequences（推论）orthoughts（想法）whichpeoplemaylaterregretordisagreewith;butduringanemotionalstate（状态）,theycouldnotcontroltheiractions.Thus,itisgenerallybelievedthatoneofthemostdistinctive（与众不同的）factsabouthumanbeingsisacontradiction（矛盾）betweenemotionandreason.
