You're probably familiar with FOMO.That's short for "Fear Of Missing Out." It's that feeling you get when it seems everyone else is doing something better than what you're doing right now. But there's another FO you need to know about, and it's far more dangerous. It's called FOBO, and it's short for "Fear Of a Better Option."
你很可能熟悉 FOMO（Fear Of Missing Out，错失恐惧症）。它指的是当你感觉其他人似乎都在做比你当下所做之事更棒的事情时产生的那种感觉。但还有另一个你需要了解的以 FO 开头的概念，它危险得多，叫做 FOBO（Fear Of a Better Option，更佳选择恐惧症）。
be familiar with ... 熟悉... short 这里是缩写的意思 fear of doing 害怕做某事 miss out 错过 遗漏 far 常用意思是形容词 远的；这里作为副词，非常，类似much
We live in a world of overwhelming choice. Even decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchases, are now fraught with over analysis. Technology has only made the issue more pronounced.
我们生活在一个充满过多选择的世界。甚至有些在过去很简单的选择，比如去哪吃饭、买啥东西，可是现在连这些选择都得仔细斟酌。而科技只是让这一切变得更为明显。
overwhelming [ˌoʊvərˈwelmɪŋ] adj.势不可挡的； overwhelm v.势不可挡 overwhelming choice 意译为重大选择 fraught [frɔːt] adj.忧心忡忡的；焦虑的； over analysis 过度分析 decisions are fraught with over analysis 字面意思是决定是忧心忡忡的，有着过度的分析，意译就是决定要仔细斟酌
If you want to buy a pair of white shoelaces online, you have to sort through thousands of items and read through hundreds of reviews. That's an astounding amount of information to process to just buy two pieces of string that cost less than your morning latte.
如果你要网购两根白色鞋带，你就得在几千个白色鞋带中精挑细选，还得翻看上百条买家评论。信息量之大真是令人震惊，而这一切，只是为了比一杯拿铁还便宜的两根绳子。
shoelace [ˈʃuːleɪs] n.鞋带 sort [sɔːrt] v.分类整理，排序； 这里衍生为挑选 read through hundreds of reviews 翻看上百条评论 astounding [əˈstaʊndɪŋ] adj 令人震惊的 astound [əˈstaʊnd] vt.使..震惊 【讲解】划直线这句依然是that引导的定语从句，修饰string，什么样的绳子？比一倍拿铁还便宜的绳子。先行词that在句子中充当成分。 另外two pieces of string 2根绳子，虽然string是单数形式，但2根绳子，整体看做复数，所以cost没有加s
Chances are you've experienced FOBO when you've struggled to choose just one from a group of perfectly acceptable outcomes. It's a symptom of a culture which sees value in collecting and preserving as many options as possible.
当你面对若干个完全可行的选项之时，若你为选择最佳方案而苦苦纠结，那你可能已被 FOBO 找上门。如果一种文化鼓励人们拥有并保留尽可能多的选择，这种文化就会催生 FOBO 。
【讲解】划波浪线的句子看起来有点奇怪，其实句子是主系表结构，chance是主语，这里意为：可能性。句子的表面意思是：可能性是.. you've experienced...是that引导是表语从句，that省略了。从句中又出现了when引导的时间状语从句：当你为选择最佳方案而苦苦纠结..
You might wonder why all of this is so bad. It seems counter intuitive. Shouldn't it be a privilege to have so many good options to choose from? The problem is, FOBO induces such severe analysis paralysis that it can negatively impact both your personal and professional life. When you can't make decisions with conviction, you waste precious time and energy.
你可能会问：这有什么不好的？这很有违常理啊？能从那么多好的选择中作出抉择，不是一件好事吗？问题就在于 FOBO 会让你过于认真地思考问题，这种过度认真会对你的生活和工作都产生负面影响。你的犹豫不决会浪费你宝贵的时间与精力。
