pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase all the time.
压力似乎是在这个竞争激烈的社会中我们日常生活中很自然的一部分。不管喜欢还是不喜欢，总是有一种或另一种压力。似乎没有任何办法来避免或摆脱它。此外，随着现代生活的节奏不断加快，压力似乎一直在增长。
Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to the decline of one's physical and mental health. So they are always complaining about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of pressure, is what we should desire. On the other hand, others argue that pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that propels our progress and contributes to our success.
关于压力不同的人有不同的想法。有些人认为压力是很邪恶的东西。如果压力太大，这将导致一个人的身体和精神健康下降。所以他们总是抱怨或试图逃避它。他们认为，只有放松才是我们应该渴望的。另一方面，其他人认为压力并不像我们通常想的那么坏。事实上，一定程度的压力是提供动机和我们的生活意义的关键。是压力推动我们的进步有助于我们成功。
personally, I'm in favor of the latter idea. I believe that a little pressure is certainly an important incentive in life. It is only when the pressure gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and bad health. Since it is impossible to avoid pressure, certainly there is no sense trying to do so or complaining about it.
就我个人而言，我支持后者的观点。我相信有点压力的确是生活中重要的激励。只有当压力失去控制，才会导致糟糕的表现和不好的健康状况。既然压力无法避免，当然试图避免或抱怨都是毫无意义的。
