舍友带饭有必要说“叫声父亲来听听”，进宿舍门必定会说“父亲回来了”。

为啥呢？

在咱们的传统观念里，“父亲”给人的形象比照正面的，他如山厚重，如海深重。儿子在父亲面前，毫无抵挡之力。

所以，“变成别人的父亲”，能体现自个威严、老到、担任等质量。换句?担帽鹑私懈盖祝涫凳窃诒湎嘧在肌?br>

美国社会意理学家abraham harold maslow（马斯洛）有个理论，把人的需要分红了五个层次。

而让别人叫父亲这种行为，大约是契合了其间的第四层需要：esteem needs(尊敬需要)，包括respect, self-esteem, status, recognition, strength, freedom(尊敬、自我价值、名声、别人对自个的认可、安适)。

对男生们而言，一声朴素无华的父亲，就可以立马让自个的辈分略胜一筹。

而且这种占口头上的廉价，是一种很高兴的作业。

有意思的是，英语世界里，老外喜爱的是让别人say uncle或许cry uncle。

不过，意思和我国男生喜爱人叫“父亲”有所不一样。

英语中，say/cry?uncle或许是一个俚语，标明“认输、扔掉”的意思，来历不明。

有一种说法是源自古罗马，其时成人子打架和咱们小时分的个性差不多，都是争着要把对方按倒在地，然后“逼”着人家管自个叫“叔叔”。

所以say uncle引申用于“需求或人认输”，never say uncle就是“绝不认输”。

另一种说法是来历于19世纪的一个笑话：

早年有自个在兄弟面前夸耀自个的鹦鹉聪明，会学说人话。

所以他便对鹦鹉说道：“say uncle！”，但鹦鹉一言不发。他非常生气，扭着鹦鹉的脖子，然后便愤恨地把它关进笼子里，笼子里还有另外十只鸟。

不久之后，他再次翻开笼子。发现有九只鸟，都被扭断脖子而死。

而那只鹦鹉正扭着第十只鸟的脖子，挟制道：“say uncle！”

后来，这个笑话里的say uncle便被引申为“需求或人认输、屈服”的意思。

动画《开心汉堡店》第五季中就呈现过这个表达：

oh,hey,habes–you about ready to?say uncle?

喂，哈勃，你预备好认输了吗？

再举两个比方：

say “uncle,” and i’ll let you out of this headlock!

叫声”叔叔”，我就铺开你!

【补白】headlock是将对方的头紧挟于腋下的意思，恰当于“勒头”

the brothers often play fought, but it was invariably the younger of the two who had to say uncle by the end.

兄弟俩常常打架玩，但到最终老是年岁较小的那个不得不认输。

老规则， 今日的最终来读一篇四六级/考研难度的文章：

pay attention to the health of the brain

?

in the book?’a great revolution in the brain world’, it is stated that when our thoughts are optimistic and positive, the body secretes a substance called?endorphin?which puts one into a good mood. they feel this prevents aging and raises the body’s natural healing powers. on the contrary, when one is angry or under great stress, the brain secretes a substance ca

lled noradrenaline which possesses a poisonous property similar to snake?venom?causing much damages to the body.

?

《脑内改造》一书中，说到当咱们的思维活泼、必守时，体内会分泌一种“脑内吗啡”的物质，使人心境变好，避免老化，前进天然治好力，反之，当发怒或感触健壮压力时，脑内会分泌出“去甲肾上腺素”，其毒性仅次于蛇毒，会构成身体的种种损害。?

en·dor·phin?/en?d??f?n/ n.?内啡肽（内分泌激素，一种体内生成的化学物质，能止痛并让人发生快感，有镇痛作用）a hormone produced in the brain that reduces the feeling of pain?

①（毒蛇、蜘蛛等分泌的）毒液[u]the poisonous liquid that some snakes, spiders, etc. produce when they bite or sting you

②凶狠；仇恨；歹意；歹心(formal) strong bitter feeling; hatred and a desire to hurt sb【比方】a look of pure venom恶狠狠的姿势

?spit venom?怒火冲天（地说）；咬牙切齿（地说）to show that you are very angry; to speak in an angry way?【例句】i thought he was going to spit blood when he saw what had happened. 我想等他看到发生了啥事时，会破口大骂的。

?

therefore, if every thought is positive, the good hormone secreted by the brain makes the person feel comfortable. not only is one more willing to work,?the subconscious mind?is also?activated?giving us power beyond one’s imagination. but if one is anxious and tense, the body secretes a chemical making us unable to fully utilize our abilities. this is known as the ‘inverse rule of anxious effor’.

?

另外，若凡事往好的方面想，脑中分泌出的良性荷尔蒙会使人心境舒畅，不只使干事的自愿加强，“潜在脑”也会运作起来，而能发扬出自个愿望不到的才能，但如果干事严峻，体内则会分泌出一种化学物质，使得咱们无法发扬实力，也就是所谓的“尽力回转规则”。?

ac·ti·vate?/??kt?ve?t/ v. 使活动；激活；使活化to make sth such as a device or chemical process start working?【例句】the burglar alarm is activated by movement.这防盗警报器一动就会响。【近义表达】start, arouse, energize, galvanize, initiate, mobilize, move, rouse, set in motion, stir

?

so we can see good reason why the professional tells us to think positively all the time. not only is it good for our body and mind, it also makes working smoother. if we think negatively all the time, then we will be anxious in our work. not only is it damaging to our health, it also hinders our work. this also supports the idea that “when we do things naturally, the result will be perfect.”

?

难怪专家主张要咱们凡事往好的方面想，这样一来不只有利身心，做起事也较为顺心，如果凡事往坏的方面看，干事天然会严峻，不只对安康有害，做起事来也妨碍重重，这也证明晰“当咱们自天然然的干事时，成果才会完满。”

?

most substances secreted by the body are counteracted by another substance. these processes act just like yin and yang against each other to maintain a state of?equilibrium. but when we are using our higher brain to work hard for society and humankind, the body secretes endorphins continuously with no counteracting substance. therefore, the more we help others, the more happy and healthy we are and our subconscious abilities become more developed.

?

一般体内分泌的物质都有抑制物，两者就如同阴及阳一般彼此拮抗以保相等衡。但当咱们运用高档脑（大脑的一有些）为社会、人类竭尽全力时，体内会不断分泌脑内吗啡，但却没有任何抑制物的发生，因而咱们越协助别人会越高兴、安康，自我的潜能也愈加打开。?

there is another interesting point. we all know that human beings have different levels of needs. dr. marslow, the author, divided these needs into five levels: physiological, security, love and belonging, esteem and self-fulfillment.

?

另外还有一点也很风趣，众所周知人有不一样层次的需要，马斯洛博士将之分红五个等级：1)生理的需要；2)平安的需要；3)爱及隶属的需要；4)尊敬的需要；5)自我完成的需要。

?

he discovered that whenever one of the needs is satisfied, the body secretes a kind of endorphin, and the higher the level of need that’s satisfied (e.g. self-fulfillment), the stronger are the effects of the endorphin. research has shown that the more honest and?righteous?one’s life, for example like thinking about the community all the time, one would become healthier.

?

作者发现每当一种需要满足，体内就会分泌一种脑内吗啡，而越是满足高级级的需要（如自我完成），脑内吗啡所造成的使的快感就越强。研讨亦发现日子越是光亮磊落，为社会思考，会越趋安康。?

many people know about the existence of brain waves. different brain waves are produced under different conditions. the wave is closely related to endorphins. when there are more waves, there is a greater secretion of endorphins.

?

我们都晓得有所谓的脑波存在，在不一样的思考状况下会呈现出不一样的脑波。这种电波与内啡肽亲近有关。脑电波越多，内啡肽的分泌就越多。

?

the author discovered that the wave is most frequent during meditation. it also occurs during positive thinking. in modern society, since we cannot?meditate?all the time a day, we can try to be more positive, think about good things, listen to good things, speak about good things, and be more helpful to other people. then, naturally we will become healthier in body and mind, and everything will become smoother .

?

作者发现当冥想（打坐）时发生的脑波最多，而当咱们进行正面思考时，脑中亦会有脑波呈现。在现代社会，咱们已然无法不时进行冥想，不妨平常多进行正面思考，想好、听好、说好，多协助别人，天然会身心安康，事事顺心。
