Text A

Martin Seligman has been studying optimists and pessimists for 25 years. He is a psychologist and the author of bestselling books that help people to be more optimistic. In his studies of world-class athletes and top performers in the business world, Seligman found that optimists perform better when they encounter difficult situations than pessimists do. According to Seligman, “When pessimists come up against an obstacle, they often quit ; when optimists meet an obstacle, they try harder.”An optimist stays in the game and instead of seeing a problem, looks for a solution.

马丁•塞利格曼25 来一直从事对乐观者和悲观者的研究。他是位心理学家，也是帮助人们变得更乐观的畅销书作家。在他对世界级运动员和商界精英的研究中，塞利格曼发现乐观者在遇到困难处境时比悲观者表现得好。根据塞利格曼的研究：“当悲观者面对障碍时，他们常常会放弃；当乐观者遇到障碍时，他们会更加努力。”一位乐观者在竞争中乐于去寻找解决问题的方法而不是观望问题。

Text B

1. These different reactions are due to how people interpret events—whether they think positively, from an optimistic viewpoint, or negatively, from a pessimistic viewpoint.

这些不同的反应缘于人们对事件的理解方式：他们是从乐观的角度还是从悲观的角度去想问题？

2. The difference between optimists and pessimists isn’t a difference in life experiences but rather in how people perceive and respond to problems.

乐观主义者和悲观主义者的不同不是在生活经历上，而是他们如何认识问题和面对问题如何反应。

3. There are pros and cons to both optimism and pessimism. A healthy dose of optimism can be uplifting and hopeful, while a healthy dose of pessimism can be realistic and wise. Achieving a balance of being realistic and hopeful isn’t always easy.

对于乐观和悲观都有赞成和反对意见。健康的乐观可使人情绪高涨，满怀希望，而健康的悲观可使人现实和明智。在面对现实和满怀希望之间获取平衡并不是容易的事。

4. Just as it is important to recognize what is unjust and unfair in our lives and the world, it is important to see the beauty, love, generosity, and goodness as well.
