翻篇的英文是什么（我要翻篇英文怎么说）

2022年即将到来，你是否对新的一年有美好的期许呢？每年年末，很多人都会为自己设定新年计划。但雄心壮志不难有，难在坚持，大家也因此常常自嘲“新年flag必倒”。“新年”究竟有什么魔力，让我们总是想在这个时候为自己设定新计划？“新年计划”到底是不是真的有意义？

Are New Year's resolutions powerful or pointless?

新年计划究竟是力量强大的，还是毫无意义的？

By David Robson

At least a quarter of people typically make at least one New Year's resolution, and a large portion of those good intentions end in disappointment. Rationally speaking, 1 January should be no better than any other day to make a life change – so why put the needless pressure on ourselves to 'upgrade' our lives at the opening of a new calendar?

至少有四分之一的人通常会设定至少一个新年计划，而这些美好计划中的很大一部分都以失望告终。从理性上来讲，在做出人生改变这件事上，一月一日并不会比其他任何一天更合适。那么我们为什么还要给自己施加不必要的压力，要在新年伊始“升级”我们的生活呢？

Recent psychological research, however, suggests that there are many good reasons to begin a new regime on the first day of a new year.

但是，最近的心理学研究发现，其实我们有充分的理由在新年的第一天开始实行一套新的生活规则。

Rather than seeing our life as a continuum, we tend to craft a narrative, divided into separate "chapters" that mark the different stages of our life. "Any time you have a moment that feels like a division of time, your mind does a special thing where it creates a sense that you have a fresh start," says Katy Milkman, a psychology professor at The Wharton School. "You're turning the page, you have a clean slate, it's a new beginning."

与其说把人生视为一个连续的整体，我们更倾向于去打造一个叙事体系，并拆分出单独的“章节”以标记我们人生的不同阶段。沃顿商学院心理学教授凯蒂·米尔克曼谈到：“在任何时候，只要某个时刻让你觉得是一个时间分界点，你的大脑就会做一件特别的事：它会创造出一种感觉，让你觉得有了一个全新的开始。你就像正在翻开新的一页；你可以既往不咎；这就是一个新的开始。”

This helps you to create psychological distance from past failures, she says, allowing you to feel that any mistake was the "old you" and that you'll now do better.

她表示，这种机制会让你在心理上与过去的失败拉开距离，让你觉得所有错误都可以归咎于“过去的你”，而现在你会做得更好。

The New Year, of course, is an especially compelling starting point, compared to those other events. "It is a big chapter break for most people," says Milkman.

当然，与其他事件相比，新年是一个尤其有吸引力的起始点。米尔克曼说：“对大多数人而言，新年是一个划分‘章节’的重要节点。”
