Conversation Two:
对话二
So, why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?
那么,到底为什么你的工作以紧张出名呢?
Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.
当人们束手无策或感觉被控制时,就会有压力感。金融市场上的交易正是这两者的结合。
How do you relax in the evening?
你晚上如何放松?
I very rarely do anything work-related so it's easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I've had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain would regard as creative.
我很少做与工作有关的事情,所以很容易逃离市场。我通常去健身房或是出去跑步。尤其是在我感觉某天很糟糕的时候,更是如此。我总是做饭,而不是叫外卖。做点儿有创意的事。
Do you think what you do for relaxation is an effective way to beat stress?
你认为你放松的方法对消除压力有效吗?
I don't think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find out what I do is effective for me.
消除压力没有特定的法宝。总的来说,我发现我所做的一切对我来说都是有效的。
Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?
你是否因压力大而考虑换工作呢?
I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used the right way, it can actually be a positive thing.
因为压力我曾考虑过换工作。但是,我认为压力是一件好事。如果运用得当,压力实际上是有益的。
What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?
你喜欢工作中的哪些压力?
Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.
说了这么多,我的确喜欢不确定因素。我喜欢挑战。交易会在瞬间产生一系列大范围的情绪波动。你如何处理及管理这些情绪支配着中短期及长期交易的业绩与成功。
