今天我将谈论三种因应资源，第一种是感觉自己掌控了自己的生活。那些觉得自己能更好地掌控着自己生活的人，心理健康状况会更好。
【讲解】这句话的主干是People have health，这也是为什么have虽然在life后面，但用的是have而不是has，因为它的主语是people ； who引导的定语从句，认为他们更好地掌控着他们生活的人； 从句中，feel like这里不是想要，而是2个单词，feel 觉得，like好像（这个好像语气很弱，很多时候可以不翻译出来），feel 后面是that引导的宾语从句，省略了先行词that，所以是feel they’re...
If you feel like you're lacking in control in life, then research shows that you should engage in experiences that give you greater control.
如果你觉得自己在生活中缺乏控制力，那么研究表明，你应该参与那些能让你更好地控制自己的实践。
I'll show you what I mean: do you sometimes find that you put off starting something because you just don't feel ready enough? Do you find it hard to make decisions like what to wear, what to eat, who to date, which job to take up? Do you tend to waste a lot of time deciding what you might do while nothing gets done?
我来告诉你我的意思：你有没有发现有时你推迟开始某件事是因为你觉得自己准备得不充分？你有没有发现有时候很难做决定，比如穿什么，吃什么，和谁约会，从事什么工作？ 当你什么都还没做的时候，你是不是会浪费很多时间来决定你要做什么？
A way to overcome indecision and this lack of control in life, is to do it badly. There's a quote by writer and poet GK Chesterton that says, "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly the first time." The reason why this works so well is that it speeds up your decision-making and catapults you straight into action, otherwise, you can spend hours deciding how you should go about doing something or what you should do. This can be paralyzing and can make you afraid to even begin.
克服优柔寡断和生活中的失控的一种方法就是把事情做糟一点！作家兼诗人 GK Chesterton 曾说过：“任何值得做的事，都值得第一次做得不好。” 这句话很奏效是因为它加快了你的决策过程，推动你直接行动起来，不然的话，你可以花几个小时来决定应该怎么做或者应该做什么。这可能会让你瘫痪，甚至让你不敢开始。
quote [kwoʊt] v. 引用，引述；举例说明；将......描述为； n. 引文，引语；报价，开价 catapult [ˈkætəpʌlt] n.弹射器；弩炮 v. 猛投；用弹弓射，用弹射器发射，推动 paralyze [ˈpærəˌlaɪz] vt. 使麻痹；使瘫痪
All too often, we aim for perfection, but never end up doing anything because the standards that we set for ourselves are too high. They're intimidating, which stresses us out, so we delay starting something, or we might even abandon the whole thing altogether. “Do it badly” frees you up to take action.
很多时候，我们一心追求尽善尽美，可最终却一事无成，因为我们给自己设定的标准实在太高了。这些标准令人望而生畏，让我们压力倍增，于是我们就会推迟开始做某件事，甚至可能会彻底放弃整件事。“别太完美地去做事” 能让你摆脱束缚，放手去行动。
intimidate [ɪnˈtɪmɪdeɪt] v. 恫吓，威胁 altogether [ˌɔːltəˈɡeðər] adv. 完全地；总共；总之 frees you up 释放自己，给自己自由，这里free做动词，给...自由
