Lifestyle Factors
生活方式因素
考官答案
Nowadays, many people don't sleep well or have bad sleeping habits, making them more tired. Some can't sleep at all, which is really hard. Others watch TV before bed, which keeps their brain active and stops them from sleeping. Even worse, some people take their phones to bed and spend the night on social media. As a result, they get very little sleep and wake up exhausted in the morning.
如今,許多人睡眠不好或有不良的睡眠習慣,讓他們感覺更加疲累。有些人根本無法入睡,這真的很困難。其他人睡前看電視,讓大腦保持活躍,無法入眠。更糟糕的是,有些人把手機帶到床上,整晚都在社交媒體上度過。因此,他們睡得很少,早上醒來感覺精疲力竭。
These days, a lot of people don't sleep very well or have got into bad sleeping habits and this means that people seem to be more tired. Some people are just insomniacs and can't sleep and that must be tough. Others though watch TV before they go to bed and this activates the brain so they can't sleep. Or worse still, they take their phone to bed and scroll through social media all night. This means they sleep very little and are exhausted when the morning comes.

Psychological Triggers
心理觸發點
考官答案
People often feel tired not just physically, but mentally too. This can happen when they are bored or not really into what they're doing. Also, if they've been working too much or focusing really hard on something, mental exhaustion kicks in, making them feel tired.
人們常常感到疲憊,不僅是身體上的,也包括精神上的。這可能是因為他們感到無聊或對自己正在做的事情不感興趣。此外,如果他們工作過度或專注於某事,精神上的疲憊就會出現,讓他們感到疲憊。
Fatigue often has psychological roots, manifesting when individuals feel disengaged or uninterested in their current activities. This type of tiredness is more about mental state than physical exertion. Additionally, mental exhaustion from prolonged overworking or intense concentration can significantly contribute to feelings of tiredness, reflecting the mind's need for a break.
疲勞常常有心理根源,當個人感到對目前的活動失去興趣或沒有投入時會表現出來。這種疲憊更多是心理狀態而非身體的負擔。此外,由於長時間過度工作或集中精神會導致心理疲憊,這也會明顯地增加疲憊感,反映大腦需要休息的訊號。
