外出是美国人最喜欢的减压方式

Spending time in the great outdoors is the top way Americans are working to de-stress right now, according to new research.

一项最新调查显示，美国人目前最常用的减压方式就是到户外去放松一下。

The survey of 2,000 Americans found 50 percent of respondents are getting out into nature as a way to benefit their mental health — but with various stay-at-home orders still in place, not everyone is able to get as much fresh air as they would like.

这项对2000名美国人进行的调查发现，50%的受访者正通过户外活动来增进心理健康，但由于各种各样的居家令仍在执行，并不是每个人都能得到他们想要的新鲜空气。

Other respondents said getting enough sleep (44 percent) and eating healthy (42 percent) were ways in which they were actively something positive for their mental health.

其他受访者表示，充足的睡眠(44%)和健康的饮食(42%)对他们的心理健康有积极的影响。

And 41 percent said they’re spending time with family and friends — whether virtually or in person.

41%的人说他们会花时间和家人和朋友在一起，无论是虚拟的还是面对面的。

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Reef, the survey aimed to determine how Americans relax, unwind and de-stress from their daily lives.

这项由OnePoll公司代表Reef开展的调查旨在了解美国人是如何放松、放松和缓解日常生活中的压力的。

It revealed 39 percent choose to exercise as a way to clear their heads while a further 35 percent opt for meditation as a positive way to de-stress.

调查显示，39%的人选择通过锻炼来清空大脑，另有35%的人选择冥想来减压。

Nearly a third (32 percent) unplug from all of their devices to gain some mental clarity and unwind from the day, while 41 percent choose to engage in physical activity in the hopes of decompressing from stress.

近三分之一(32%)的人会从所有的设备上拔下电源，以获得一些精神上的放松，而41%的人选择进行体育活动，希望从压力中减压。

But with getting out in nature as the top way Americans are de-stressing — it’s perhaps no surprise that 44 percent go to the beach for mental clarity, while the same number would take a vacation.

不过，在美国人减压的首选方式是亲近大自然的情况下，44%的人去海滩放松心情，同样比例的人去海滩度假也就不足为奇了。

Overall, when it comes to unwinding, the beach emerged as the prime location for both relaxation and fun.

总的来说，在放松的时候，海滩成为放松和娱乐的最佳场所。

Nearly three in four respondents revealed they would go to the beach to alleviate stress — and about four in five said a day at the beach turns their bad mood around.

近四分之三的受访者表示，他们会去海滩缓解压力——大约五分之四的受访者表示，在海滩度过的一天会让他们的坏心情有所好转。

What makes the beach so uplifting? Well, when asked which beach-specific activities help to de-stress, respondents’ overall top choice was taking a leisurely walk along the shore, followed by listening to the sound of the waves and of course, sitting down with a nice book.

是什么让海滩如此令人振奋?好吧，当被问到哪种特定的海滩活动有助于减压时，受访者总的首选是悠闲地沿着海岸散步，然后听海浪的声音，当然还有坐下来读一本好书。
