（英汉双译）为什么即使感觉不好，你也会拖延？｜02

Procrastination is when we avoid a task we said we would do, for no good reason, despite expecting our behavior to bring negative consequences. Obviously,it’s irrational to do something you expect to harm you.But ironically,procrastination is the result of our bodies trying to protect us, specifically by avoiding a task we see as threatening.

拖延症是指尽管我们期望自己的行为会带来负面后果，但我们却毫无理由地回避了自己说过要做的任务。显然，做一些你想伤害你的事是不理智的。但具有讽刺意味的是，拖延是我们的身体试图保护我们的结果，特别是通过避免我们认为有威胁的任务。

When you realize you need to write that report, your brain responds like it would to any incoming threat.

Your amygdala, a set of neurons involved in emotional processing and threat identification, releases hormon-es including adrenaline that kick off a fear response.This stress-induced panic can overpower the impulses from your prefrontal cortex, which typically help you think long term and regulate your emotions.

当你意识到你需要写报告时，你的大脑会像对待任何威胁一样做出反应。你的杏仁核是一组参与情绪处理和威胁识别的神经元，它会释放包括肾上腺素在内的激素，引发恐惧反应。这种压力引发的恐慌可以压制你前额皮层的冲动，这通常有助于你长期思考并调节情绪。
