For most of us, the purpose of the holidays is to bring peace, love, and goodwill towards all. Yet, for many, the holiday season often means stress, fatigue, pressure, disappointment and loneliness.
對我們大多數(shù)人來說，休假的目的是為獲得清靜、關(guān)愛和友善，但是對很多人來說，假日卻常常意味著緊張、疲倦、壓力、失望和孤寂。
These feelings, often known as the "holiday blues," may be even more prevalent, due to the emotional turmoil of the past few months, not to mention the unsteady economy.
且不說變化不定的經(jīng)濟，過去幾個月來情感上的波折就可能使這種被稱為“假日憂傷”的情感更為普遍。
Experts say even the more ritual tasks of shopping, decorating, late-night parties, cooking, planning and family reunions can be holiday stressors.
專家說，甚至購物、布置房間、深夜晚會、做飯、計劃和家庭團聚這種人們習(xí)以為常的事，都可能成為假日緊張的因素。
In addition, the psychological phenomenon known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, may bring a specific type of depression related to winter's shorter days and longer nights.
此外，季節(jié)情感紊亂癥或稱SAD的心理現(xiàn)象也可能導(dǎo)致一種與冬季晝短夜長有關(guān)的特殊類型的抑郁。
"Certainly just because it's the holidays doesn't mean people are going to be happy," says Dr. Doug Jacobs of Harvard University. "And this will be a particularly hard holiday for some who are dealing with a lost job, debt, or even a lost loved one."
哈佛大學(xué)的Doug Jacobs博士說：“當然，假日并不意味著大家都會很開心。對于那些正在應(yīng)付失業(yè)、債務(wù)問題、甚至失去親人的人來說，假期將尤其難熬。”
