今天听武志红老师讲“延伸与耐力”的时候他说英文 Reach 这个单词,翻译成“延伸”很直观,但也许更准确的翻译是“污染”,所以特意查了下reach 的用法,词性:动词&名词。查完后没能与“污染”的词义挂钩,这一词义应该放在心理学层面去理解更好。其他的释义都很熟悉,所以就不做罗列了,不过例句中有个表达很不错,We must reach out to those in need.我们应该伸出援助之手,帮助有困难的人。

@吴爱芝 我觉得这样的分享也挺值得推荐!就是把英语的学习跟我们的实际生活联系在一起。这样的话,其实我们的分享显得多了一个维度,不致于太过于硬梆梆。
武老师那篇文章我也读过,他觉得reach翻译为“污染”更好,我觉得想表达的意思是:reach的原意是“延伸”(to extend as far as),在心理学的意思是:“你是否会自动将一个挫折的挫败感延伸到其他方面。”而这个词在英语里面有一个延伸的意思:to succeed in having an effect on“影响,左右”。低挫折商的人属于“高延伸”,就是他们遇到一个挫折事件,很容易会产生“天塌下来了”的感觉,从而把别的原来好好的事情搞得很糟糕。从这个角度而言,就是把坏的(感觉)影响到了好的(事情),这不就是跟“污染”的意思没有区别?
吴爱芝:
@李洪彬 对的,当时听完就觉得污染翻译得太贴切了,就想找找是不是真有这个意思,结果没找到
