E, I'm with you.

E，我支持你。

I don't feel like doing it.

我不想這麼做

I have no motivation.

我沒有動力。

Hi.

你好。

James from engVid.

James from engVid.

I know that you're watching this channel because you want to learn English, but I also

我知道你們收看這個頻道是因為想學英語，但我也知道

know because you're human that there have been many times when you just didn't feel

因為你也是人，所以你知道有很多次你感覺不到

like doing it.

喜歡這樣做。

Perhaps this is one of those times you didn't want to study, but you put on this video in

也許這是你不想學習的時候之一，但你在

hopes that I can help you.

希望我能幫助你們。

Well, you're in luck because I'm going to.

好吧，你很幸運，因為我要去了。

I'm going to give you four steps to help you get motivated to study English even when you

我將告訴你四個步驟，幫助你即使在以下情況下也能激發學習英語的動力

don't really feel like it.

不喜歡

Because I've got a...

因為我有一個...

There's a guy named Archimedes, and what he said was "Give me a big enough lever".

有個叫阿基米德的人，他說過 "給我一個足夠大的槓桿"。

I'm paraphrasing, which means I'm not using the exact words.

我是在轉述，也就是說我沒有使用原話。

So he talked about giving a big enough lever, or lever, and a fulcrum.

是以，他談到要給一個足夠大的槓桿，或槓桿和支點。

So this triangle is a fulcrum, something you can use.

是以，這個三角形是一個支點，你可以利用它。

He said you could move the world.

他說你能感動世界。

Well, my thing is if I can get you to motivate yourself to study your English, you, too,

我的想法是，如果我能激勵你學習英語，你也能、

will be able to change your world or move your world.

就能改變你的世界，或推動你的世界。

So let's go to the board and find out what four crazy methods I have for you.

那麼，讓我們去黑板上看看我為你們準備了哪四種瘋狂的方法吧。

Now, these look really weird.

現在，這些看起來真的很奇怪。

I know when you're looking at it, you're going "What the heck is all this?", but I promise

我知道當你看到它時，你會問 "這都是些什麼鬼東西？"，但我保證

in the end it'll make sense.

最終會有意義的。

So the first thing I want you to do is think about why you're there and you don't want

所以，我希望你們做的第一件事就是想一想你們為什麼會在那裡，你們不想

to do it.

去做。

Try and figure out why you wanted to do it in the first place.

試著想一想，你當初為什麼要這麼做。

You wanted to learn English...

你想學英語...

You wanted to learn English for a reason.

你想學英語是有原因的。

It could be for a vacation, it could be to meet some cute English girl, it could be for

可能是為了度假，可能是為了結識某個可愛的英國女孩，也可能是為了

your job in a promotion, or it could be just because you like learning languages.

或者只是因為你喜歡學習語言。

But you've got to get back to that why.

但你必須回到 "為什麼 "上來。

Why is important.

為什麼重要？

There's a man named Simon Sinek who wrote a book, "Find Your Why", right?

有個叫西蒙-辛克的人寫了一本書《找到你的為什麼》，對嗎？

And in this book, what he said was when we find our original why, we get passion.

在這本書中，他說當我們找到最初的原因時，我們就會充滿激情。

We get passion.

我們充滿激情。

It gives us energy.

它為我們提供能量。

It's the thing that drives us to change.

它是我們改變的動力。

Sometimes that why is to change society to make it better, so it gives you that passion

有時，為什麼要改變社會，讓它變得更好，這給了你激情

to fight.

去戰鬥。

Well, we need to go back to that passion to get energy to help us with our motivation.

那麼，我們需要回到激情中去，獲取能量，幫助我們獲得動力。

So one of the first things I want you to do is find your why.

是以，我要你們做的第一件事就是找到自己的原因。

Go back, sit down, take five seconds and think "Why did I want to do this in the first place?"

回去坐下，花五秒時間想一想 "我當初為什麼要這麼做？"

Instead of thinking "I have to do this", think about why I wanted to do it, how it was going

與其想著 "我必須這樣做"，不如想想我為什麼想這樣做，它是如何進行的

to change my world, and why I found it important enough to start.

改變我的世界，以及為什麼我認為它重要到足以開始。

That will at least get you moving a bit, because usually lacking motivation means you feel

這至少會讓你動一動，因為缺乏動力通常意味著你覺得

stuck, unable to move, right?

卡住了，動彈不得，對嗎？

So we're going to find our goal, and this is important because without your why, it's

是以，我們要找到自己的目標，這一點很重要，因為如果沒有自己的原因，就會

like trying to fire a bow and arrow with your eyes closed.

就像閉著眼睛開弓射箭一樣。

You're going to miss the target.

你會錯過目標的。

So we find our why, we find our goal, we fire, and we will find we usually hit what we aim

是以，我們要找到自己的原因，找到自己的目標，然後開火，我們會發現，我們通常會擊中我們的目標

at, and it's getting what we desire, in this case, motivation to learn English.

在這種情況下，我們需要的是學習英語的動力。

Let's move to number two, emotions.

我們來看第二點，情緒。

Finding your why, I told you, releases passion.

我說過，找到自己的原因，就能釋放激情。

Passion is an emotion.

激情是一種情感。

Emotions have energy, but I want you to imagine your emotions as being an invisible wind,

情緒是有能量的，但我希望你們把情緒想象成一股無形的風、

and I want you to imagine that you're trying to walk in this invisible wind, but it's very,

我想讓你想象一下，你正試圖在這無形的風中行走，但它非常、

very strong.

非常強大。

If you don't acknowledge, and that means pay attention to those emotions, and you don't

如果你不承認，也就是不關注這些情緒，也不

understand what they're trying to tell you, they're going to hold you back.

如果你不明白他們想告訴你什麼，他們就會拖你後腿。

That's that invisible force, you know, your emotions.

那是一種無形的力量，你知道，就是你的情緒。

You cannot see them, you feel them, they have an effect on you.

你看不到它們，但你能感覺到它們，它們會對你產生影響。

There's a Dr. Steven Peters who has a book called The Chimp Paradox, and what he talks

史蒂文-彼得斯博士有一本名為《黑猩猩悖論》的書，他講到

about is this chimp or this monkey inside your brain, right, is always trying to take

是你大腦裡的這隻黑猩猩或猴子，對吧，它總是試圖奪走

care of you and protect you, and it tries to do that by giving you emotions to tell

照顧你、保護你，並通過賦予你情感來告訴你

you to either fight, run, run is flee away, fight, or freeze.

你要麼戰鬥，要麼逃跑，要麼逃離，要麼戰鬥，要麼僵持。

Freezing is when we lack our motivation to do something.

凍結是指我們缺乏做事的動力。

We freeze, I don't want to do it.

我們凍僵了，我不想這麼做。

If we can just talk to ourselves and acknowledge those emotions and say, "Listen, I am afraid,

如果我們能與自己對話，承認這些情緒，並說："聽著，我害怕、

but I will take a step forward because doing so makes life better", or "I am anxious,

但我會向前邁出一步，因為這樣做會讓生活更美好"，或者 "我很焦慮、

I won't do a good job, so I will study more and that will help me move forward", if we

我不會做得很好，所以我會多學習，這將幫助我前進"，如果我們

don't acknowledge or, you know, say, "Okay, these emotions are real, that wind is real",

不承認或不說："好吧，這些情緒是真實的，那股風也是真實的"、

they will hold us back.

他們會拖我們的後腿。

So we want to acknowledge our emotions because when we acknowledge our emotions, that

所以，我們要承認自己的情緒，因為當我們承認自己的情緒時，那

energy that is holding us back is given to us so we can fly forward.

阻擋我們前進的能量被賜予我們，讓我們可以向前飛翔。

Kind of cool, right?

很酷吧？

Just by saying, "Hey, I'm afraid", you can stop being afraid by saying, "I'm afraid,

只要說一聲 "嘿，我害怕"，你就可以不再害怕，只要說一聲 "我害怕"、

and why am I afraid?" and thinking about what I can do to help my fear, because that little

我為什麼會害怕？"，並思考我能做些什麼來消除我的恐懼，因為那小小的

monkey we were talking about holding you back can then help you move forward.

我們剛才說到的 "猴子 "可以幫助你前進。

Now, let's move from there, from acknowledging our emotions, finding our why, acknowledging

現在，讓我們從這裡開始，從承認我們的情緒，找到我們的原因，承認

our emotions.

我們的情感。

A lot of you may not know this, but in North America we have something called the carrot

很多人可能不知道，但在北美，我們有一種叫做胡蘿蔔的東西

and the stick.

和棍子。

It's about a donkey, and we talk about how do you motivate a donkey.

這是關於一頭驢子的故事，我們討論瞭如何激勵一頭驢子。

Now, if you're a parent and you love your children, the carrot is like giving them candy

現在，如果你是父母，你愛你的孩子，胡蘿蔔就像給他們糖果一樣

and praise and saying nice things to get them to do something to motivate them.

表揚和說好話，讓他們做一些事情來激勵他們。

That's the carrot, do something good.

這就是胡蘿蔔，做點好事。

And the stick is military, the stick of discipline.

而棍子是軍事的，是紀律的棍子。

They won't listen, make them listen.

他們不聽，那就逼他們聽。

Okay?

好嗎？

So, a lot of people think, "Okay, carrot and stick, but here I have it reversed.

是以，很多人認為，"好吧，胡蘿蔔加大棒，但我把它顛倒過來了。

It shouldn't be this way, it's usually reversed."

不應該是這樣的，通常是反過來的。"

First try the carrot, do something nice, then use the stick if that doesn't work.

先試著用胡蘿蔔，做一些好的事情，如果不奏效，再用大棒。

Now, do you remember I talked about the emotions and feeling them?

還記得我說過的情緒和感受嗎？

Well, one thing you can do with emotions here is you can take the bad emotions, which would

在這裡，你可以利用情緒做的一件事是，你可以把不好的情緒，也就是

be the stick, and we're going to maximize this, make the stick bigger, because what

是棍子，我們要把它最大化，把棍子變大，因為

we want to do is make the person so afraid of what might happen that is bad if they don't

我們要做的就是讓他們害怕，害怕如果不這樣做會發生什麼不好的事情。

finish what they said they were going to do.

說到做到。

What do I mean?

什麼意思？

If you think of something like this, okay, I am getting a little bit fatter, and then

如果你這樣想：好吧，我變得有點胖了，然後

you say, "Okay, well, what happens if I...

你說："好吧，如果我......

That's not so bad.

這還不算太糟。

We know it's bad, but you don't care.

我們知道這很糟糕，但你不在乎。

But what would happen if we said, "Hey, what if you kept eating bad foods, just kept eating

但是，如果我們說："嘿，如果你一直吃不好的食物，只是一直吃

them, kept doing no exercise?"

他們，一直不做運動？"

We would go, "I'll get fatter and fatter, then I'll get heart problems and knee problems,

我們會說："我會越來越胖，然後會得心臟病和膝關節病、

I might have a heart attack, I might die, I might not be able to take care of my family."

我可能會心臟病發作，我可能會死，我可能無法照顧我的家人"。

And it's like, "Do you want that to happen?"

就像 "你希望這樣的事情發生嗎？"

You go, "No, no, no, no, no, no."

你會說 "不不不不不不"

So we use the stick to get you to move and not the carrot.

所以，我們用大棒而不是胡蘿蔔來讓你行動。

So by acknowledging it, one method we can do from acknowledging these emotions, first,

是以，通過承認它，我們可以先從承認這些情緒開始做起、

if that doesn't work, that you say, "Okay, I acknowledge my emotion.

如果不行，你就說："好吧，我承認我有情緒。

Let me work."

讓我工作吧"

Then you can say, "Okay, now imagine the worst thing that could happen.

然後你可以說："好吧，現在想象一下可能發生的最糟糕的事情。

Why am I mentioning this?"

我為什麼要提這個？"

Well, there's a guy named Dr. Jordan Peterson, and in his clinic, they did a study with a

有一個叫喬丹-彼得森博士的人，在他的診所裡，他們做了一項研究，用一個

mouse.

老鼠

And they had a maze for the mouse, you know, a maze, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

他們為老鼠準備了一個迷宮，你知道，迷宮，等等等等、

blah, blah, blah.

等等等等

And they had some cheese, and the mouse was hungry.

他們還吃了一些奶酪，老鼠餓極了。

And what they would do is they would time to see how long it took the mouse to go through

他們要做的，就是用時間來計算滑鼠經過的時間。

the maze to get the cheese, and the hungry mouse did it pretty quickly.

飢餓的老鼠很快就拿到了奶酪。

But do you know what made the mouse run even faster to get the cheese?

但你知道是什麼讓小老鼠跑得更快去拿奶酪嗎？

You think they made the house...

你認為他們把房子...

The mouse...

滑鼠...

Sorry.

對不起。

The house...

房子...

The mouse even hungrier?

老鼠更餓了嗎？

No.

不

They put a smell of a cat in the maze, and the mouse would run faster through the maze

他們在迷宮裡放了貓的氣味，老鼠在迷宮裡跑得更快了

to escape the cat than when it was just hungry for cheese.

比起只想吃奶酪，它更想逃離貓的視線。

When it was just hungry for cheese, it was motivated, the carrot, to eat, but the cat,

當它只想吃奶酪的時候，它的動力是胡蘿蔔，吃的卻是貓、

the smell of the cat, and possibly the cat catching it, made it run even faster.

貓的氣味，還有可能是貓抓到了它，讓它跑得更快了。

So from there, they determined if you can think of what's the worst thing that could

是以，他們決定，如果你能想到最糟糕的事情是什麼

happen and how you don't want that to happen, it's going to get you to move.

發生，以及你如何不希望它發生，它都會讓你動起來。

Now, I keep talking about emotion, emotion, emotion, and moving.

現在，我一直在說情感、情感、情感和感動。

There's a reason for that, and it's going to come up here where we look at E + M. When

這是有原因的，我們將在這裡討論 E + M。

I was talking about emotion, if you separate the word "emotion", you're going to get something

我說的是情感，如果把 "情感 "這個詞分開，你會得到一些東西

interesting, which is this, E = "energy", and motion actually means "motion".

有趣的是，E="能量"，而運動實際上就是 "運動 "的意思。

Okay?

好嗎？

By using these two tricks, we're trying to get the energy to get you into motion, because

通過這兩招，我們正試圖獲取能量，讓你進入運動狀態，因為

when you're mentally stuck, you become physically stuck.

當你的精神被困住時，你的身體也會被困住。

But the reverse way of doing it is if you get your body active, then your mind will

但反過來說，如果你讓自己的身體活躍起來，那麼你的頭腦就會

become active.

活躍起來。

I want you to imagine for a second or two a rocket, you know, a rocket ship, standing

我想讓你們想象一兩秒，一艘火箭，你知道，一艘火箭飛船，矗立著

there, and the rocket, you're hearing, "Five, four, three, two, one, we have blast off."

你會聽到 "五、四、三、二、一，我們起飛了"

That rocket takes off with tremendous power, yeah?

火箭起飛時動力十足，是嗎？

We can use the energy in motion, right?

我們可以利用運動中的能量，對嗎？

And this is from a book by a woman named Mel Robbins called The Five Second Rule, to give

這是一位名叫梅爾-羅賓斯（Mel Robbins）的女士所著的《五秒鐘法則》一書中的內容。

ourselves a limited amount of time to move.

自己的行動時間有限。

Once we've used these two techniques, acknowledge our emotions and probably thought about this

一旦我們使用了這兩種技巧，承認自己的情緒，可能就會想到這一點

one, that stick, we can use a limited time, which is a "five, four, three, two, one",

一，那根棍子，我們可以限時使用，也就是 "五、四、三、二、一"、

because the "five, four, three, two, one" enables us to keep our focus on what we wanted

因為 "五、四、三、二、一 "能讓我們把注意力集中在我們想要的東西上

to do, that's why we looked at our "why", keep our "why" in our mind, and just enough

要做的事情，這就是為什麼我們要看我們的 "為什麼"，把我們的 "為什麼 "牢記在心，而且只要足夠

time that you don't lose focus and you can jump right into the activity.

這樣你就不會失去注意力，可以立即投入到活動中去。

Before your brain says, "Stop, we don't want to do this", because if you wait for 10 or

在你的大腦說 "停下，我們不想這樣做 "之前，因為如果你等上 10 或

15 seconds, you start to think and maybe you won't do it, but when you only have five seconds,

15 秒，你會開始思考，也許你不會去做，但當你只有 5 秒鐘的時候、

by the time you've moved, it's too late for your brain to say, "Stop", you've moved forward.

當你移動的時候，你的大腦已經來不及說 "停 "了，你已經向前移動了。

And by taking that energy, creating physical motion, we can then get mental motion to get

通過利用這種能量，產生物理運動，我們就能獲得精神運動，從而獲得

motivated to do what we have to do.

有動力去做我們必須做的事情。

Cool?

酷嗎？

I know.

我知道

So, it's a simple system, and I promised you four steps, it's four steps.

所以，這是一個簡單的系統，我向你承諾了四個步驟，就是四個步驟。

And all you have to do is just start with the first one, which is remember why you're

doing this, and then try and figure out what are the fears holding you back, because lack

這樣做，然後試著找出阻礙你前進的恐懼是什麼，因為缺乏

of motivation or people being lazy isn't usually that they don't want to work, it's that they're

動機或人們懶惰通常不是因為他們不想工作，而是因為他們

afraid of something, and that keeps them stuck.

害怕某些東西，這讓他們無法自拔。

Remember?

還記得嗎？

Fight, freeze, or flight?

戰鬥、僵持還是逃跑？

They freeze.

它們凍住了。

So, what we have to do is get them to find out or acknowledge what is getting them to

是以，我們要做的就是讓他們發現或承認是什麼讓他們走到了這一步。

freeze, and then maybe making that stick a little bit bigger so it scares them off

凍住，然後把棍子弄大一點，這樣就能嚇跑它們了

to move.

要移動。

And once we get that energy in motion, and we limit the time that they have to move from

一旦我們讓這種能量運轉起來，並限制了它們從"......

five to one, then we'll find that those people will move towards what they want to do, which

五比一，那麼我們就會發現這些人會轉向他們想做的事情，也就是

in your case is English.

就是英語。

Okay?

好嗎？
