過(guò)度思考的后果......長(zhǎng)見(jiàn)識(shí)了

安妮的仙境

Are you guilty of dwelling on a problem much longer than you should? Many people get caught up in overthinking problems from time to time, but some people make a habit of it.

你有沒(méi)有用過(guò)多的時(shí)間來(lái)思考一個(gè)問(wèn)題,？很多人都會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)地在一些問(wèn)題上過(guò)度思考，但有一些人會(huì)把它當(dāng)做一個(gè)習(xí)慣,。

However, this habit can affect grades and academic performance, because students can get so caught up in thinking mode that they never get to good solution.

但是,，這個(gè)習(xí)慣會(huì)影響你的分?jǐn)?shù)和學(xué)習(xí),，因?yàn)閷W(xué)生們會(huì)陷入一個(gè)思考模式,，即他們找不到一個(gè)好的解決方案。

Some people who overthink tend to get stuck in analysis mode, by over-analyzing every nook and cranny of a situation repeatedly, and in a circular pattern (around and back again to the first).

一些過(guò)度思考的人會(huì)一次次過(guò)度分析情形的每一處,，從而陷入分析模式中,，這種模式呈環(huán)形（繞一圈又回到出發(fā)點(diǎn)）。

That situation-the state when a thinker is “stuck” in analysis-is sometimes called analysis paralysis. It's also one form of procrastination.

當(dāng)思考者在分析中無(wú)法自拔時(shí),，這種情形或狀態(tài)有時(shí)也被稱為分析癱瘓,。它也是拖延癥的一種形式。

It’s not difficult to imagine why this could be unhelpful or even harmful for academic work.

想象一下,，為什么這樣會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)業(yè)無(wú)幫助甚至有危害,，其實(shí)并不難。

Students who encounter certain kinds of test questions are in danger of analysis paralysis:

碰到各種類型問(wèn)題的學(xué)生就有陷入分析癱瘓的危險(xiǎn)：

● Complex essay questions can cause students to get stuck thinking about single aspect of the question and ignore others.

◯ 復(fù)雜的問(wèn)答題會(huì)使學(xué)生只執(zhí)著于思考問(wèn)題的一個(gè)方面,，從而忽略其他問(wèn)題,。

● Students will be at a loss when trying to decide how to start writing an answer to essay questions because there are so many options. This can be a time waster.

◯ 當(dāng)要決定怎么回答問(wèn)答題時(shí)，學(xué)生們會(huì)由于選擇太多不知所措,。這樣就會(huì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間,。

● Long multiple choice questions can also cause analysis paralysis. Students may try to read too much into the question and spin themselves into total confusion.

◯ 篇幅長(zhǎng)的多項(xiàng)選擇題也會(huì)導(dǎo)致分析癱瘓。學(xué)生們會(huì)過(guò)度解讀問(wèn)題,，從而使自己陷入迷惑而無(wú)法自拔,。

● Students can also overthink their choices in a multiple choice situation and read more into each choice than they should.

◯ 學(xué)生們也會(huì)在多項(xiàng)選擇上過(guò)度思考，在每項(xiàng)選擇上解讀出更多的內(nèi)容,。

If the situations above sound familiar, you are like many other students. You are also wise to recognize that this is a potential problem for you.

如果上述的情形聽(tīng)起來(lái)很熟悉,，你就有和許多學(xué)生一樣的情況了。承認(rèn)這是一個(gè)隱患也是明智的。

If you know it, then you can address it!

如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題,，就可以動(dòng)手解決它了,！

As an old Chinese saying goes, “Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.” Overthinking is not a good thing.

正如中國(guó)有句古語(yǔ)說(shuō)，“過(guò)猶不及”,。過(guò)度思考也不是一件好事,。
