“完美主义”英语怎么说
名词解释:完美主义,与人们所说的“强迫症”近似,是一种建立在处处不满意、不完美之上的,极度追求完美、毫无瑕疵的想法。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
Perfectionism is seen as laudable. But research shows it has a flip side, causing not just psychological stress, but physical harm—insomnia, heart disease.
Dr Danielle Molnar, a psychologist at Brock University, Canada, is suggesting perfectionism should be considered as a risk factor for disease in the same way as obesity and smoking.
"It's natural to want to be a perfectionist in one area of your life, but when it becomes obsessive, it will cause extreme stress and can affect not only relationships, but also your health."
研究显示,深受赞誉的完美主义实际上也有着不好的一面,它不仅会导致心理压力,而且还会产生诸如失眠和心脏病等疾病。
加拿大布鲁克大学心理学家莫尔纳博士认为,完美主义的危害与肥胖、吸烟不相上下。
“在生活中的某个方面,你想成为完美主义者,这是很自然的事情。但是如果执迷于此,就会导致极度压力,不仅会影响人际关系,还会影响健康。”
【讲解】
文中的perfectionism就是“完美主义”的意思,是由名词perfection(完美)和词缀-ism(一般表示为“主义,行为”)组合而成,又如:reformism(改革主义),protectionism(贸易保护主义)等;需要注意的是,perfection表示“完美,完善”时,是不可数名词,如:His performance was sheer perfection.(他的表演达到了尽善尽美的地步。)
第一段中的insomnia意为“失眠;失眠症”,如:If I drink too much coffee, I will have insomnia.(咖啡喝多了,我就会失眠。)
