为了弄清运气好的人是否采取反事实思维来减轻霉运带来的冲击，我叫我的研究对象去假想自己在银行里。突然，一个武装抢劫犯冲了进来，开枪打中了他们的手臂。运气差的人往往说，在抢劫发生的时候刚好在银行，真够倒霉的了。运气好的人则说，情况不算太糟：“你完全可能脑袋上挨一枪。”这种思维让人们感觉好一点，继续怀有很高的期待，更有可能继续过着事事顺心的日子。 Chinese Version ease the impact of misfortune: to make the misfortune less harmful or hurtful robber: n. someone who takes money or property illegally, often by using threats or violence 抢劫犯 e.g. Instead of the evil-looking robber they expected to see, the two ladies found only a pale, thin child, lying peacefully asleep. He hopes they’ll help to catch the robber. robbery: n. the crime of taking money or property illegally, often by using threats or violence 抢劫 e.g. The museum has been closed since the robbery. This man was eventually hanged for highway robbery. likelihood: n. the chance that sth. might happen 可能(性) e.g. If you are underprepared then the likelihood of success is reduced. The biggest danger facing a depressed person is the likelihood that they will attempt suicide. Learn to Be Lucky Finally, I created a series of experiments examining whether thought and behavior can enhance good fortune. First came one-on-one meetings, during which participants completed questionnaires that measured their luck and their satisfaction with six key areas of their lives. I then outlined the main principles of luck, and described techniques designed to help participants react like lucky people. For instance, they were taught how to be more open to6 opportunities around them, how to break routines, and how to deal with bad luck by imagining things being worse. They were asked to carry out specific exercises for a month and then report back to me.
