10、o their) Talkl 男女顺其自然John Gray1One of the biggest differences between men and women is how they cope with (deal with) stress. Men become increasingly focused and withdrawn while women become increasingly overwhelmed (defeated) and emotionally involved. At these times (At these moments), a mans needs

11、 for feeling good (良 好的感觉)are different from a womans (needs). He feels better by solving problems while she feels better by talking about problems. Not understanding and accepting these differences creates (leads to) unnecessary friction (conflict) in our relationships (marriages). Lets look at a c

12、ommon (常见的)example.2When Tom comes home, he wants to relax and unwind (=relaxed) by quietly reading the news. He is stressed (bothered) by the unsolved problems of his day and finds relief (解脱-relieve) through forgetting them.3His wife, Mary, also wants to relax from her stressful day. She, however,

13、 wants to find (relieve-) relief by talking about the problems of her day. The tension slowly building (strenthening 累积)between them gradually becomes resentment (hatred).4Solving this problem for Tom and Mary depends not on how much they loved each other but on how much they understood the opposite

14、 sex. Without knowing that women really do need to talk about problems to feel better, Tom would continue to think Mary talked too much and resist listening to her. Without knowing that Tom was reading the news to feel better, Mary would feel ignored and neglected. She would persist in trying to get

15、 (make) him to talk when he didnt want to.Coping with stress on Mars2 and Venus35When a Martian (火星人)gets (becomes) upset he never talks about what is bothering him. He would never burden (vt bother) another Martian with his problem unless his friends assistance (help) was necessary to solve the pro

16、blem. Instead (On the contray) he becomes very quiet and goes to his private cave4 (corner) to think about his problem, mulling it over to find a (to solve a problemto answer a question) solution. When he has found a solution, he feels much better and comes out of his cave.6If he cant find a solutio

17、n then he does something to forget his problems, like (such as) reading the news or playing a game. By disengaging (release) his mind (brain) from the problems of his day, gradually he can relax. If his stress is really great it takes (needs) getting involved with something even more challenging, li

18、ke (such as) racing (drying) his car, (compete-) competing in a contest, or climbing a mountain.7When a Venusian (woman) becomes upset (nervous) or is stressed by her day, to find relief, she seeks out (find) someone she trusts and then talks in great detail about the problems of her day. When Venus

19、ians (women) share feelings of being overwhelmed, they suddenly feel better. This is the Venusian (woman) way.Finding relief in the cave.8When a man is stressed he will withdraw into the cave of his mind (心灵的空间/时间：独处的时刻) and focus on solving a problem. He generally (usually) picks (choose) the most

20、urgent problem or the most difficult. He becomes so focused (absorbed) on solving this one problem that he temporarily loses awareness of everything else. Other problems and responsibilities fade into the background (退至U幕后).9At such times (at such moments), he becomes increasingly distant, forgetful

21、, unresponsive, and preoccupied in his relationships. His full awareness (conscience) is not present because he is mulling (thinking) over his problem, hoping to find a solution. The more stressed he is, the more gripped (occupied 聚精会 1 申)by the problem he will be. At such times he is incapable of g

22、iving a woman the attention and feeling that she normally (usually) receives and certainly deserves. If, however, he can find a solution, instantly (immediately/ at once) he will feel much better and come out of his cave; suddenly he is available (free) for being in a relationship again.10However, i

23、f he cannot find a solution to his problem, then he remains (stick: n./vi.) stuck (cornered) in the cave. To get (free) unstuck (released) he is drawn to solving little problems, like (such as) reading the news, watching TV, driving his car, doing physical exercise, watching a football game, playing

24、 basketball, and (so on and) so forth. Any challenging activity that (initiate-) initially (=previously) requires only 5 percent of his mind (mental energy 脑力)can assist (help) him in forgetting his problems and becoming unstuck. Then the next day he can redirect his focus to his problem with greate

25、r success (=more successfully), be at sb/s wits endFinding relief through talking11When a woman is stressed she instinctively feels a need to talk about her feelings and all the possible problems that are associated with her feelings. When she begins talking she does not (priority-) prioritize the s

26、ignificance of any problem. If she is upset, then she is upset about it all, (no mater it is) big and small. She is not (medium 介质)immediately concerned with (=worry about sth./ sb.) finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood. By randomly tal

27、king about her problems, she becomes less upset (nervous).12As a man under stress tends to (likely) focus on one problem and forget others, a woman under stress tends to expand and become overwhelmed (defeated) by all problems. By talking about all possible problems without focusing on problem solvi

28、ng she feels better. Through exploring her feelings in this process (过程)she gains (gets) a greater awareness (understanding) of what is really bothering her, and then suddenly she is no longer (not anymore 不再)so overwhelmed.13To feel better, women talk about past problems, future problems, potential

29、 problems, even problems that have no solutions. The more talk and exploration, the better they feel. This is the way women operate (live). To expect otherwise (in a different way) is to deny a woman her sense of self (the right to be a woman)5.14When a woman is overwhelmed (defeated) she finds reli

30、ef through talking in great detail about her various problems. Gradually, if she feels she is being heard, her stress disappears. After talking about one topic she will pause and then move on to the next. In this way she continues to expand talking about problems, worries, disappointments, and (frus

31、trate-) frustrations. These topics need not be in any order and tend to be logically unrelated. If she feels she is not being understood, her awareness (knowledge) may expand even further, and she may become upset about more problems.15Just as a man who is stuck in the cave needs little problems to

32、distract him, a woman who doesnt feel heard will need to talk about other problems that are less immediate (=urgent) to feel relief. To forget her own painful feelings she may become emotionally involved in the problems of others. In addition (Besides/ Furthermore) she may find relief through discussing the problems of her friends, relatives, and associates (=colleagues). Whether she is talking about her problems or others1 problems, talking is a natural and healthy Venusian reaction (response) to stress.Voca
