+英文版逐字稿(附上如何切換到英文版挑戰的指引)貼在本版留言區及英文版挑戰的錄音區。不確定或是有錯誤的地方，勞煩大家指正。 =============== Hi, everyone! Welcome to today’s pronunciation challenge. This’s your host, Estelle. Let’s start today’s episode with a question, are you happy? I know you’re thinking, why is Estelle asking such a stupid question? It is impossible to be happy on Mondays, I knew, I know. But seriously, are you happy about your life? It’s a tough question that is hard to answer in just a few words. But I would say, overall(adv.總的來說) I’m quite content with my life now. I have people I love, who love me around, and I have something to work hard for. And you? Are you happy? Or do you find it difficult to be happy? It’s okay if you do, life isn’t always going to be a bed of roses.
+ a bed of roses 稱心如意的境遇，安樂窩；溫床
But identifying the reasons why you are not happy may help you find a way to be happier. Today’s video might help you do just that. It’s titled “6 reasons why intelligent people find it hard to be happy.” But I believe the problems mentioned in this video could occur to anyone, not just so-called intelligent people. Go check out the video to learn more about the possible causes of unhappiness. But before that, let’s first take a look at our sentence of the day. “You may not realize it but this constant regret over past decisions is robbing you of happiness every day.”
1-1. constant [ˋkɑnstənt ] (adj.) 經常發生的；連續不斷的 * The boy's parents are worried about the constant fights he gets in at school.
1-2. constant 永恆不變的，穩定的 * Wine should be stored at a constant humidity([hjuˋmɪdətɪ]濕度) level.
1-3. constant (伴侶或朋友)忠實的；忠貞不渝的；始終如一的 * How fortunate([ˋfɔrtʃənɪt]幸運的) I am to have a constant friend like you.
2-1. regret [rɪˋgrɛt ] (n.) 懊悔，遺憾；惋惜；痛惜 * Try your best and leave no regrets. * The factory manager expressed deep regret for the workers injured in this accident.
2-2. regret (v.) 感到懊悔，遺憾，痛惜，惋惜
* regret + Ving 對做過的事，或以往沒辦法做的事感到後悔、遺憾 * He strongly regrets his decision to leave his wife. = He strongly regrets leaving his wife.
* regret + to V. 很抱歉要做某事。通常用來宣布壞消息 * We regret to inform you that you have not been accepted into our institute.
3-1. decision [dɪˋsɪʒən ] (n.) 決定；決策；選擇 * All contestants([kənˋtɛstənt]參賽者) are waiting for the judge's final decision.
3-2. decide [dɪˋsaɪd] (v.) 決定，決斷，確定 * I always have a hard time deciding what to eat for lunch.
4-1. rob [rɑb ] (v.) 搶劫，掠奪，盜取 * The criminals robbed the bank of 50 million dollars.
4-2. rob (v.) 剝奪，使喪失 * Many children in developing countries are robbed of their childhood and the opportunity to get an education by child labor caused by poverty([ˋpɑvɚtɪ]貧窮). + child labor 童工
* rob Peter to pay Paul = to borrow money from one person to pay back money you borrowed from someone else 拆東牆補西牆；借新債還舊債
西敏聖彼得協同教堂 The Collegiate[kəˋlidʒɪɪt] Church of Saint Peter at Westminster[ˋwɛstmɪnstɚ]
Saint Paul Cathedral
* If I were you, I wouldn't get another credit card to pay off some of your bills. You are just robbing Peter to pay Paul.
I couldn’t agree more. As not just regret something, you can’t turn back time and change it. It’s normal to feel sad and regretful, and it’s healthy to express your feelings. Maybe I’m too young and haven’t really been through any major difficulties or [[upheavals [ʌpˋhiv!] n.動盪；巨變]], but I think it’s also very important to forgive yourselves and move forward. What do you think about today’s video? Are you happy? What makes you happy or unhappy? Please leave a comment to share with us. And of course, don’t forget to record your own challenge. Wish you all a great week. See you next time, bye!

☺You may not realize it but this constant regret over past decisions is robbing you of happiness every day. 你可能沒有發覺，但像這樣一直對過去的選擇感到後悔會讓你每天都過得很不快樂。 【心得】對過去的決定後悔其實是在自找麻煩，因為我們現在的"早知道"，在過去的那個當下，就是"不知道"或者"沒有體認到"。換個角度想，能夠體認到過去的缺憾，就代表著自己現在已經有所成長。我想應該很難有人真的做得到"活得無怨無悔"吧!? ■constant [ˋkɑnstənt ] 持續的；連續不斷的；固定的、不變的 常數；恆量；不變的事物 ■regret [rɪˋgrɛt] 感到懊悔、感到抱歉、遺憾；惋惜；哀悼 懊悔、抱歉、遺憾；惋惜[(+at/for)] 哀悼、悲歎[(+over)] 表示謝絕的短柬 ■decision [dɪˋsɪʒən ] 決定；決策；選擇；判斷；結論；(法庭的)判決；(會議的)決議 果斷、決心；決斷(力) ■decide [dɪˋsaɪd] 決定、決斷、確定、下定決心 ■rob [rɑb ] 使喪失、剝奪[(+of)]；劫掠、盜取[(+of)] 搶劫

You may not realize it but this constant regret over past decisions is robbing you of happiness every day.
你可能沒察覺，但執著於過去的決定（選擇）會剝奪你每天的快樂。
今天是雙十一，明天又要去台北面試了，這次是一家新加坡的新創公司，實在覺得台北冬天這麼冷不要冬天上去也罷。
反正不期不待（疑
評論：其實對於過去的選擇或決定一直感到懊悔是無濟於事的，人生一直都只有結果，沒有如果。另一個有趣的是：我們人是有確認偏誤（confirmation bias），亦即個人選擇性地將較樂觀、有益於自己的回憶留著，同時刪除對自己不利的那些過去。我想這也是為什麼人們往往緬懷著過去，但現在的自己在做未來的決策時，又往往做出未來會後悔的選擇。
總之，過去的事情就是沈沒成本，即花掉的錢就花掉了，切勿再多做懊悔、煩惱來讓現在的自己做出讓未來更後悔的選擇。
