Most peer pressure is less easy to define. Sometimes a group can make subtle signals without saying anything explicitly - letting you know you must dress or talk a certain way or adopt a particular attitude toward school, other students, parents or teachers in order to win acceptance and approval.
大多数同龄人压力不太容易去定义。有时，一个群体会发出微妙的信号，无需明确地说出什么，你就会知道自己必须按照某种方式穿衣或交谈，或者对学校、其他学生、家长或老师采取某种特定的态度，这样才能获得接纳和认可。
The pressure to conform (to do what others are doing) can be extremely hard to resist. A person might feel pressured to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless or something that might generate serious consequences. Giving in to the pressure to dress in a certain way is one thing, going along with the crowd to drink or smoke is another.
遵守（做别人正在做的事情）带来的压力是难以抗拒的。一个人可能会因为别人正在做某事而感到有压力。同龄人压力会让一个人去做一些相对无害的事情或有可能产生严重后果的事情。迫于压力而按照一定的方式穿衣是一回事，和大家混在一起喝酒抽烟则是另外一回事。
Let's see it positively: You can also use peer pressure to your advantage. Think of it as "competitive" peer pressure. For example, if you're active in sports, your teammates probably spur you to be the best you can. If you are on the track team, you pace yourself with the fastest runner, because you know it will make you better.
让我们积极地看待这个问题：你也可以让同龄人压力对你产生积极的作用，把它视为可激发竞争意识的同龄人压力。例如，如果你热爱运动，你的队友可能会激励你做到最好。如果你参加赛跑，你会和最快的选手竞争，因为你知道这会令你更加出色。
