你放松身心，專心地看著電視。

Suddenly you begin to feel scared.

突然你感到恐懼。

Everything around you is becoming unreal.

Your heart isracing, your head spinning, your handstingling.

你的心跳加速，天旋地轉(zhuǎn)，手臂發(fā)麻。

An overwhelming sense of despair and anguish hits you like a wave.

一種歇斯底里的絕望和痛苦像海浪一樣侵襲著你。

What on earth is going on?

這到底是怎么回事?

If you have had an experience like this, it's possible you were having a “panic attack.”

如果你有類似的經(jīng)歷，很可能你患有“驚恐發(fā)作”癥。

Some peopleexperience panic attacks in tense situations, such as before giving a speech.

一些人在緊張的情況下會經(jīng)歷驚恐發(fā)作，例如在演講之前。

For others it comescompletely out of the blue.

有些則會在完全意外的情況下經(jīng)歷。

The ability to either fight or flee from a dangeroussituation is perhaps the most basic behaviorrequired of any animal.

Panic attacks occur when the bodily systems responsible for dealing with dangerous situationskick in at the wrong time.

當身體系統(tǒng)對在不適當?shù)臅r間里發(fā)生的危險情況作出反應時就會產(chǎn)生驚恐發(fā)作。

There is no danger in relaxing on your couch, and no real danger ingiving a speech.

在沙發(fā)上休息并不危險，演講也并不是真的危險。

But in some people, the “fight or flight” responses can be triggered accidentally.

但是對于一些人來說，會意外地觸發(fā)他們“戰(zhàn)斗還是逃走”的心理反應。

Heart rate increases, breathing becomes shallow, adrenaline shoots to your arms.

心跳加速，呼吸困難，腎上腺素直沖手臂。

These areuseful responses to have, if you really are in danger.

如果你真的處于危險情況之下，這些都是很有利的反應。

So take heart-there's no need to panic.

所以，鼓起勇氣-沒必要恐慌。
