英文教育短片，重新認識憂鬱

“Melancholy”一詞源自古希臘語”Melancholia”，若將這個單詞拆開，前半部的“melan”用來形容「黑暗的」，而”chole”指的是「膽汁」，古希臘人認為鬱悶是因黑膽汁分泌失調所造成。

Modern society tends to emphasize buoyancy and cheerfulness, but we have to admit that reality is for the most part about grief and loss.

現今社會重視正向和快樂，但我們必須承認，現實生活大多摻雜著憂傷及失落。

The good life is not one immune to sadness, but one in which suffering contributes to our development.

好的生活不是避悲傷而不及，而是將你所遭遇的一切化為成長的動力。

You have not been singled out, that your suffering belongs to humanity in general. To take that fully to heart is to become more compassionate and less vengeful.

你不是被孤立的，因為這些悲傷的情緒每個人都擁有，敞開心房擁抱悲傷，就能成為更有同理心、少怨恨的人。
