假期马不停蹄地走亲访友,疲惫不堪,就仿佛经过了一次长途旅游后倒不过时差来?这其实是假日的“家庭时差”。
If Christmas leaves you so exhausted it feels like you have been on a long haul flight, there may be a good reason why.
假如圣诞节假期叫你感到疲惫,就仿佛经过了长途旅游,这其实是有缘由的。
‘Family jet lag’ is the condition people suffer when they are physically and emotionally drained by festive family trips.
“家庭时差”指的是在假日的家庭旅游之后,大家感到身体和精神上都非常疲惫的状况。
The stress of travel, squeezing in too many visits and the anxiety of seeing people you meet only a few times a year all take their toll.
旅游的重压,安排多次到访,与与一年见不到几次的家人会面带来的焦虑,都会叫人疲惫不堪。
Psychologists say that using limited holiday time can lead to resentment and your sleeping patterns are disrupted, just like normal jet lag.
心理学家表示,用有限的假期时间会使人心生愤恨,睡眠模式也会被打乱,就像平常的飞行时差那样。
The net result is that you end up needing a holiday from your holiday because you are so tired at the end of it.
最后的结果就是,你在假期结束后还需要另一个假期,由于你太累了。
