It's something that's uncomfortable that you have to put up with.
65

04:30
So, you might have a physical pain that's like a low-level pain.
66
270580
5205
因此,您可能会感到轻微的身体疼痛。
04:36
Maybe a twinge in the back, a little pain in one side of your back.
67
276300
4070
也许背部有刺痛感,背部一侧有一点疼痛。
04:40

你仅仅说
04:42
"Oh, I've got a terrible backache."
69
282690
2130
“哦,我背痛得很厉害”是不够的。
04:45
But it's uncomfortable and it's there all the time.
70
285490
3920
但它很不舒服,而且一直存在。
04:49
So, you might say,
71
289410

04:50
"Oh, I've just got a little niggle in my back.
72
290240

75

3250
只是一直在那里,烦恼不已。”
05:02
So, to constantly persist in causing discomfort or anxiety or annoyance.
76
302767
6850
因此,要不断地坚持造成不适、焦虑或烦恼。
05:10
Here's another example,
77
310610
1190
这是另一个例子,
05:12
"As Mark sat down to enjoy his book, a niggle about whether he'd locked
78
312479
5320
“当马克坐下来欣赏他的书时,关于他是否锁上
05:17
the back door kept distracting him.
79
317819
2140
后门的小问题一直分散着他的注意力。
05:20
Despite trying to shake off the feeling, he finally got up to check,
80
320509
3560
尽管他试图摆脱这种感觉,但他最终还是站了起来检查,
05:24
finding peace of mind only after confirming the door was indeed locked."

5820
05:31
Ha-ha.
82
331489
620
哈哈。
05:32
I can certainly relate to that example.
83
332359

It's something that I deal with most nights.
84
336739

I got less than six hours last night.
86
342709
2440

"Did I Ieave the front room window open?"
90
356259

the windows first thing in the morning to let some fresh air in.
92
363039

早上第一件事就是打开所有的窗户,让新鲜空气进来。
06:06
And I lay there thinking to myself,
93
366459
1510
我躺在那里心里想:
06:08
"Did I shut the window?
94
368459
1050
“我关窗户了吗?
06:09
Did I?
95
369779
480
我有吗?
06:10
Or is it wide open?"
96
370409
1040
或者它是敞开的吗?”
06:12
Maybe someone will walk past and see it's wide open and see it as an opportunity
97
372069
3440
也许有人会走过,看到它是敞开的,并认为这是
06:15
to break into the house and steal all our things and I couldn't sleep.
98
375509
3870
闯入房子并偷走我们所有东西的机会,我无法入睡。
06:19
I lay there for about an hour and eventually, I got out
99
379399

我在那里躺了大约一个小时,最终,我起床
06:22
of bed and went to check.
100
382602
2020
去检查一下。
06:24
And they were indeed locked.

16:56
colourful displays of processed foods in the first aisle.
263
1016921

17:05
foods provided flooded her mind.
265

17:11
truly commit to this new lifestyle.
267

17:18
she could really make this change.
269
1038976

17:22
Determined to push through, Lucy grabbed a trolley and headed
270
1042087
3910
露西决心要冲过去,她抓起一辆手推车,
17:26
towards the fresh produce aisle.
271
1046067
2280
朝生鲜农产品通道走去。
17:29
Each step was a battle against the niggles of anxiety and self-doubt.
272
1049327
4140

17:38
offered an appearance of relief.
274

Yet, as she picked up a bunch of bananas, the doubt lingered.
275
1062672
4520
然而,当她拿起一串香蕉时,疑虑依然存在。
17:47
Would she be able to maintain this healthy eating habit, or would she revert to
276
1067992
5250
她能否保持这种健康的饮食习惯,还是会
17:53
her old ways by the end of the week?
277
1073242
1860
在本周末恢复到以前的方式?
17:56
It was then that she remembered a podcast she had listened to the night
278
1076412
4170
就在那时,她想起了前一天晚上听过的一个播客
18:00
before, offering food for thought on the importance of small, manageable changes.
279
1080582
6990
,其中提供了关于小的、可管理的改变的重要性的思考。
18:08
Inspired, Lucy decided to apply this philosophy to her shopping habits.
280
1088652
4320
受到启发,露西决定将这一理念应用到她的购物习惯中。
18:13
Instead of overhauling her diet overnight, she would focus on
281
1093997
4690
她不会在一夜之间彻底改变自己的饮食习惯,而是会专注于
18:18
adding more fruit and vegetables to her meals, one day at a time.
282
1098687
4865
每天在膳食中添加更多的水果和蔬菜。
18:24
With a renewed sense of purpose, Lucy moved through the aisles.
283
1104592
3830
带着新的目标感,露西穿过过道。
18:28
She carefully read labels, choosing items that were less processed and more natural.
284
1108982
5680
她仔细阅读标签,选择加工程度较低、更天然的产品。
18:35
It wasn't just about the food anymore; it was about respecting her body
285
1115402
4290
这不再只是食物的问题;而是食物的问题。这是关于尊重她的身体
18:39
and taking control of her health.
286
1119722
1540
并控制她的健康。
18:42
The real test came in the snack aisle.
287
1122452
3700
真正的考验来自零食货架。
18:46
The shelves were packed with crisps, cookies, and sweets,
288
1126792
4920
货架上摆满了薯片、饼干和糖果,
18:52
all calling out to her.
289
1132032
1620
都在呼唤着她。
18:54
She stood there for a moment, feeling the tug of her old habits.
290
1134242
3630
她在那里站了一会儿,感受着她的旧习惯的牵引。
18:58
But, she was no longer the person who gave in to every impulse.
291
1138592
4865
但是,她不再是那个冲动的人了。
19:04
"Ahhhh..."
292
1144007
1000
“啊啊……”
19:05
With a deep breath, she pushed her trolley past the aisle, focusing on
293
1145627
4470
她深吸了一口气,推着手推车穿过过道,专注于
19:10
the progress she had already made.
294
1150097
2280
自己已经取得的进展。
19:13
By the time Lucy reached the checkout, her trolley was filled with healthy choices.

1153287
4640
当露西到达收银台时,她的手推车里装满了健康的选择。

入口处困扰她的疑虑已经减轻,
19:22
replaced by a quiet confidence.
297

The journey would be long, filled with moments of doubt and
301
1182372
3545
旅途漫长,充满怀疑和
19:45
temptation, but she was resolute.
302
1185917
2990
诱惑,但她意志坚定。
19:49
Each niggle of anxiety or hesitation would be met with the same
303
1189507
3990
每一次焦虑或犹豫的小问题都会得到与
19:53
determination that carried her through the supermarket aisles.
