You don't really know how happy or sad something is going to make you in the future, even though you think you do right now. Put another way, psychologists know that most people are very bad at being able to predict how they will respond to positive or negative events in the future.
即使你認(rèn)為你現(xiàn)在做的很好，你也不會(huì)知道將來會(huì)有什么讓你開心或傷心的事。換言之，心理學(xué)家知道，大多數(shù)人不擅長預(yù)知將來他們?cè)谟龅椒e極或消極的事件時(shí)會(huì)如何應(yīng)對(duì)。

Most happiness researchers (like Dr. Dan Gilbert) believe that there is a "happiness set point" for most people, and regardless of positive events (winning the lottery) or negative events (losing your home), a person will generally settle back to their own personal happiness set point, which may be higher than some or lower than some.
大部分研究幸福心理學(xué)的人（如丹尼爾?吉爾伯特）認(rèn)為，對(duì)大多數(shù)人來說，有一個(gè)“固定的幸福水平”，不管是發(fā)生積極的事（彩票）還是消極的事（失去你的家），一個(gè)人通常會(huì)回到他們自己原來的幸福水平上，或許高一點(diǎn)也或許低一點(diǎn)。

If the happiness set point explains why people can't predict what will make them happy or sad, other psychologists, like Dr. Martin Seligman, suggest that in order to be happier, you have to try to nudge your set point up a point or two.
即使幸福的設(shè)定點(diǎn)解釋了為什么人們不能預(yù)測(cè)什么會(huì)使自己快樂或悲傷，其他心理學(xué)家，如Martin Seligman博士建議，為了變得更加快樂，你必須盡力讓你的平均幸福水平提升一點(diǎn)。

I continually work with my clients (and remind myself, as well) that happiness is most likely to be found in this moment, not in any future one regardless of happy plans, goals, and dreams being pursued. And imagining future catastrophes turns this moment into an unhappy one, perhaps more negative than it would actually be if the catastrophe were to actually occur.
我常與我的客戶一起工作（并且也提醒自己），不管你有沒有計(jì)劃、目標(biāo)或是正在追尋的夢(mèng)想，幸福最有可能發(fā)生在這一刻，而不是在未來的某一天。想象未來可能發(fā)生的災(zāi)難會(huì)讓此刻變得不愉快，如果災(zāi)難真的發(fā)生的話，也許會(huì)更加消極。

Stereotype threat is a fascinating phenomenon in psychology which describes underperformance among minority groups based on self-perceived stereotypes.
刻板印象威脅是心理學(xué)中描述了基于自我刻板印象的少數(shù)群體表現(xiàn)不佳的一個(gè)有趣的現(xiàn)象。

What this means is that, if you're part of a minority which you know is typically not perceived to be adept in a certain field, you will do worse than otherwise identical peers who are unaffected by stereotype threat (people not in that minority group).
這意味著，如果你是這少數(shù)人中的一份子，并且你知道這個(gè)群體在某一領(lǐng)域并不擅長，你會(huì)比其他沒意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)的同輩（不在該少數(shù)群體中）變現(xiàn)得更差。

There have been some studies which have demonstrated tactics to overcome stereotype threat. The first step is education about stereotype threat itself. Make students aware that this is a psychological effect and that this nonsense about Black people being worse at Math or Asians being worse at writing is bogus.
已經(jīng)有一些研究提出了克服刻板印象威脅的策略。第一步是關(guān)于刻板印象威脅本身的教育。讓學(xué)生意識(shí)到這是一種心理效應(yīng)，那些關(guān)于黑人在數(shù)學(xué)上表現(xiàn)更糟或亞洲人書寫更差的說法是錯(cuò)誤的。

But evidence suggests that this only has a temporary effect. To get long-term results, make the student internalize the content surrounding stereotype threat; make them reflect on the content and write about it.
但有證據(jù)表明，這只是暫時(shí)的影響。要獲得長期的成果，就要使學(xué)生內(nèi)化有關(guān)刻板印象威脅的內(nèi)容；讓他們進(jìn)行反思再寫下來。
