W: So why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?
女士:为什么你的工作以压力大而著称?
M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.
男士:压力一般由两个因素引起:对局势没有控制权和被局势控制,而金融市场交易这一行,两个因素兼备了。
W: How do you relax in the evening?
女士:你晚上都是怎样放松自己的呢?
M: I very rarely do anything work-related so it's easy to escape "The Markets". I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I've had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away to do something my brain would regard as creative.
男士:我几乎不做和工作相关的事情,这样我就不会再受到“各大市场”的困扰。我通常会去健身房跑跑步,尤其是心情不好的日子。我通常不买外卖,而是自己做饭,这样可以让大脑做一些有创意的事情。
W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress?
女士:你觉得你的这些放松方式对于减压有效吗?
M: I don't think there's a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find that what I do is effective for me.
男士:我觉得减压没有什么具体的规则。总体而言我觉得我的做法是有效的。
W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?
女士:你有没有因为工作压力大而考虑过换工作?
M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used the right way, can actually be a positive thing.
男士:曾经因为压力因素考虑过换工作。但是,我觉得压力其实是一件好事。如果你能利用好压力,它实际上是一个积极的因素。
W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?
女士:你觉得你工作中哪方面的压力是好的?
M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions, dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.
男士:虽然以上说了那么多,但是我实际上很喜欢工作中的不确定性。我喜欢自己的心智受到挑战。金融交易瞬息万变,会刺激人产生各种情绪。对这些情绪的控制和处理决定了你短、中、长期的交易业绩和成功与否。
