2-- good morning, Gav! Did you sleep well last night?
1-- I slept like a baby. I fell asleep right away last night, didn't wake up once, and didn't have nay nightmares!
2-- that's great news! You look much more relaxed than you did yesterday.
1-- I feel much better, but I'm still worried about something.
2-- what's that?
1-- well, I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning, and I'm going to end up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic.
2-- that's annoying, but nothing to worry about.
1-- for me, traffic jams are quite stressful, because I'm pretty impatient. How can I prevent myself from getting stressed if I get stuck in a traffic jam?
2-- just btrathe deeply when you feel yourself getting upset.
1-- Ok, I'll try that.
2-- is there anything else bothering you?
1-- just one more thing. A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend and I don't know what to do.
2-- do you have any other plans this weekend?
1-- I'm supposed to work on a paper that'd due on Monday.
2-- try not to take on more than you can handle.
1-- you're right. I probably should just work on my paper. Thanks!

1--早上好!
2--早上好,蓋文!你昨晚睡得好嗎?
1--我睡得像個嬰兒.我昨晚很快就睡著了,而且一次都沒醒過,也沒有做惡夢.
2--這可是個好消息!你看上去比昨天輕松多了.
1--我覺得好多了,可是對有些事情還是有些擔(dān)心.
2--擔(dān)心什么?
1--呃,我今天上午要去學(xué)校開個會,我肯定會遇到上班高峰而堵在路上.
2--這的確挺煩人的.但沒什么可擔(dān)心的.
1--對于我來說,堵車會讓我覺得非常焦慮,因?yàn)槲姨貏e沒耐心.如果遇到堵車,怎么才能讓自己不那么緊張呢?
2--當(dāng)你心情不好的時(shí)候就深呼吸.
1--我會試試看的.
2--還有其它的事情讓你煩心嗎?
1--還有一件事.有個學(xué)校今天早晨打電話給我,問我愿不愿意這周末去他們那兒教幾節(jié)課,我不知道該怎么辦.
2--你周末有什么其它安排嗎?
1--我要寫一篇下周一要交的論文.
2--不要承擔(dān)太多你應(yīng)付不了的事情.
1--你說的對.我是應(yīng)該只專心寫我的論文.謝謝!
