　　聽力內容：

　　Professor: Helen hasn't been feeling well lately, and in the last episode the doctor told her that the cause might be mental stress. So today she is going to talk to a therapist.

　　哎，如果Helen有心事，可以找朋友、男友或者家人聊聊啊，何必非找心理治療師呢，多貴啊!

　　Helen: Thank you for seeing me, doctor. I've been having a lot of mental stress which I think may be affecting my physical health.

　　Therapist: Of course. Can you tell me a little bit about what has been upsetting you?

　　Helen: Well, I had a dog named Herman. He died a couple months ago and I've been feeling really down ever since .

　　Therapist: I see. Were you and Herman close?

　　Helen: We were the best of friends (sobbing). Whenever things weren't going well for me, I used to share all my problems with him. He was a great listener.

　　怪不得Helen情緒如此低落，原來她的狗Herman對她這么重要，不僅是寵物，還是她最好的朋友呢。

　　Professor: That's right, Winnie. Why does Helen say Herman was so great to talk to?

　　Helen說她有心事都跟狗狗說，因為Herman總是很認真地聽她傾訴。

　　Therapist: Have there been problems in your life recently that you've needed to talk about with someone?

　　Helen: Yeah, so many problems. I've been really stressed out at work ever since my boss gave me a huge new project, and I've been going through a rocky period with my boyfriend.

　　Therapist: Does your stress level interfere with your work or home life?

　　Helen: Yeah, when I'm under a lot of pressure it's difficult for me to fall asleep, which makes me tired and unproductive at work the next day.

　　Therapist: Well, being under a lot of mental pressure like that can have an effect on the body.

　　Professor: So Winnie, what has been causing Helen so much stress lately?

　　她的老板交給她a big new project，一份規模很大的新項目，而且她和男友關系好像有問題，Professor Bowman, 她說正和男友go through a rocky period，這大概不是什么好事兒吧？

　　Professor: Winnie, you can call something "rocky" if it is difficult, or not going smoothly. In this case, Helen is saying her relationship with her boyfriend has been experiencing trouble lately.

　　我明白了，rocky就是困難重重的意思，我想到一個詞， b-u-m-p-y, bumpy，意思一樣嗎？

　　Professor: Yes, they're the same.

　　唉，可憐的Helen, 有這么多煩心事。不知道心理治療師有什么好建議。

　　Therapist: There are some things you can do to relieve your stress. First, you need someone to talk to about your feelings so that they don't get bottled up inside.

　　Helen: Hmm .... I guess you're right. Do you think I should get another dog?

　　Therapist: No, it's much better if you pay $200 per hour to talk to me once per week.

　　Helen: Oh .... but what if spending all that money causes me to worry about my bank account?

　　Therapist: Don't worry, if you start feeling even more stressed because of your finances, you can come in twice per week for more therapy.

　　Professor: Winnie, do you understand what the therapist means when he tells Helen not to bottle up her emotions inside?

　　Bottle是瓶子的意思，所以我想醫生是讓Helen不要把情緒都憋在心里。

　　Professor: That's right.

　　Professor, 我覺得這個心理治療師幫不了Helen, 他一小時收200塊錢，Helen 說這么大的花銷會讓自己有更大壓力，可治療師似乎盼的就是這個，這樣Helen就需要看更多次醫生，他就可以賺更多錢了!

　　Helen: I don't know, doctor. I think I really just need to blow off some steam every once in a while. I'm not sure I need all this therapy.

　　Therapist: In my professional opinion, Helen, you may be very ill. We need to discuss an integrated treatment plan, with therapy sessions and anti-depression medications.

　　Helen: Anti-depression medications? Now I'm sure I don't want all that.

　　Therapist: But Helen, this may be the only way to make you happy again.

　　Helen: Actually, now I know what will make me happy. A trip to the pet store!

　　Helen很聰明，治療師讓她多看病，還讓她吃抗抑郁藥，可Helen沒上當！ 她說，她只需要blow off some steam every once in a while - 時不時給自己減減壓，就可以了!

　　Professor: Yes. I guess Helen, like everyone else, just needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes.
