What will you do when you are stressed or anxious? A psychotherapist in New York found that playing Tetris could improve our mental health.
Nintendo launched Tetris on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1984, nearly 40 years ago. Lots of players have spent their time enjoying the block-stacking video game. Thanks to some game streaming services, the classic game has seen a renaissance in recent years, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic when people feel anxious and stressed out.
Unexpectedly, seeing blocks falling and manipulating them to solve the puzzle is very therapeutic. It can boost our self-esteem and make us happy to get a high score. Tetris turns out to be not only a pastime but also a tension reliever.
現代人生活高壓忙碌,導致心理健康頻頻出狀況。壓力大或焦慮的時候,你會做些什麼事呢?一位紐約的心理治療師發現,玩俄羅斯方塊能夠改善我們的心理健康。
日本遊戲巨頭任天堂於將近四十年前的 1984 年時,在他們的「任天堂娛樂系統(Nintendo Entertainment System)」上,推出了「俄羅斯方塊」這款遊戲。多年以來,有無數玩家花時間享受玩這款疊積木遊戲的樂趣。歸功於近年來的遊戲串流平台服務,這款經典老遊戲近幾年來又重新翻紅受到眾多玩家喜愛,尤其是在這段人們大多感到焦慮或是壓力破表的 COVID-19 疫情時期。
沒預料到的是,光是看到積木掉落、並且操控它們來解決問題破關,就能讓人感到十分療癒。這個遊戲能夠增加我們的自信,並且在取得高分時感到快樂。結果,俄羅斯方塊不只是消遣娛樂,同時也是釋放緊繃壓力的好選擇。
turn out 意思是「(沒預想到地)結果是…,最終成為…」,使用 turn out 時,後面會揭露「後來(出乎意料)的結果、最終發現、或是一件事發生後帶來的資訊」,其中會帶有一點點「沒有預料到、意外轉折」的暗示。
例句:The event turned out to be a huge success.
結果那場活動最後大成功!(說明:可能本來並未預期能有那麼好的成效)
