大家好，欢迎回到“简易英语”播客。

在这里我们用简单的英语

聊生活、健康和各种大开脑洞的想法。我是主持人丽萨。

simple English. I'm Lisa, your host.

今天的话题是某种每天都在暗中

控制我们生活的东西。它

就在我们的大脑里。它很小，但

力量超级强大。我说的是

多巴胺，这种让人感觉良好的化学物质。但

接下来要说的有点疯狂。多巴胺本该

帮助我们生存和感受

快乐，但现在却让很多人表现得

像...瘾君子。

沉迷于手机、垃圾食品、

无休止的刷屏、网购，等等。

为什么会这样？多巴胺，这种天然物质，

怎么会变成一个

陷阱呢？

今天，我邀请了我们的大脑

科学爱好者克里斯，来帮我们彻底

剖析一下。和往常一样，别忘了

文本和词汇表。

[音乐]

嗨，克里斯，欢迎来到节目。

嗨，丽萨，谢谢邀请。

我真的很兴奋能聊今天这个话题，

因为说实话，我们都在某种程度上

对多巴胺上瘾，包括我自己。哈哈，我也是。

别担心，你不是一个人，

克里斯。好了，各位。让我们

深入了解一下多巴胺是如何

和我们耍花招的。克里斯，首先，

多巴胺到底是什么？

多巴胺是大脑制造的一种

化学物质。它像一个信使，

在脑细胞之间传递信号，

帮助我们感受快乐、动力和

奖励。想象一下你吃了一块

巧克力。多巴胺被释放出来，

你的大脑说：“哇，太棒了！

再来一块。”

哦，所以多巴胺就像我们大脑里的一个

小奖励按钮。

没错。它帮助早期人类生存。

几千年前，食物

很难找到，你的大脑需要一种方式

来说：“嘿，这种浆果很好。

多吃点。”

有道理。但现在我们有

巧克力、披萨、Netflix、Tik Tok、

网购，一切都唾手可得。

是的，这就是问题所在。过去，

奖励很少。现在奖励

无处不在。你的大脑受到太多的

多巴胺冲击，它超载了。

你能举个日常的例子吗？当然。

想想你的手机。每次你

收到一个点赞、评论或有趣的视频，

叮。一点点多巴胺爆发。

感觉很好。所以你的大脑说：“再

看看你的手机。也许有更多。”

太对了。有时我会

不假思索地查看手机。

没错。

这并不是因为我们很软弱。而是

因为我们的大脑被设计成追逐

多巴胺。应用程序、社交媒体、垃圾食品

公司，他们都知道这一点。他们

设计他们的产品，不断给你提供

那些小奖励。就像他们

劫持了我们的大脑化学物质。

完全正确。另一个例子，刷剧。

当你看完一集时，

平台会立即推荐下一集。

你的大脑说：“再来一集，

求你了。”

哈哈，我又中招了。但是克里斯，

如果我们一直获得过多的多巴胺，会

发生什么？

好问题。当我们长期

用多巴胺淹没我们的大脑时，大脑

会变得不那么敏感。这就像

需要更多的糖才能获得同样的

甜度。你需要更多的刷屏、更多的

购物、更多的食物才能感觉良好。

所以，这就像产生了一种耐受性。

没错。这就是为什么人们会

陷入坏习惯。大脑会想：“我需要

更多，即使它正在伤害你。” 比如

熬夜、吃垃圾食品或浪费

几个小时在网上。

哇，太可怕了，但也让人大开眼界。

有什么办法可以反击吗？当然。

首先，

要有意识。意识到多巴胺正在

控制你，这是第一步。

第二，多巴胺排毒。这意味着

暂时远离快速奖励，比如几个小时

不用手机，吃健康的

食物，读一本真正的书。它可以教会

你的大脑再次享受缓慢、健康的

快乐。我喜欢这个主意。小

步骤，不是完全没有乐趣，而是更加

有意识。

没错。你不必像个

僧侣一样生活。只要学会平衡快速

奖励和深刻、真实的奖励，比如

创造、学习、与人

面对面交流。

[音乐]

好了，克里斯，是时候来点有趣的

小知识了。这有一个很酷的。

多巴胺水平在你得到

奖励之前飙升，而不是

之后。科学家们发现，是

期望让你的大脑

兴奋。等等，你是说我们在

吃到巧克力或打开礼物

之前，感觉最快乐？没错。

这就是为什么仅仅是想到披萨就能

让你流口水。或者为什么计划

一次度假会让人感到如此兴奋，有时

比旅行本身更令人兴奋？

这太好笑了，也太真实了。我们的大脑

真是些狡猾的小东西。

[音乐]

好了，朋友们。让我们总结一下。

今天，我们了解到多巴胺是

生活中的自然组成部分。它帮助我们感受

快乐和动力。但在今天的

世界里，太容易获得的多巴胺会

让我们陷入无休止的循环。手机成瘾、

垃圾食品、购物等等。是的。

好消息是，你没有坏掉。你

只是人而已。

有了意识、小的改变和

实践现实世界的奖励，我们可以

重新掌控一切。

当然。从简单开始。关闭

通知。去散步，不带

手机。享受真正的对话

和朋友们。小行动可以重置

你的大脑。记住，多巴胺不是

敌人。它只是需要一点

平衡。非常感谢你，克里斯，

今天加入我们，分享所有这些

令人脑洞大开的见解。

谢谢你，丽萨。也谢谢各位

收听。你们已经领先一步了，

通过了解你们的大脑。好了，

如果你喜欢今天的节目，请

点赞、评论和订阅“简易英语”

播客。分享给

需要一点多巴胺

排毒的朋友。下次见，各位。

[音乐]

再见。好了，各位，是时候

学习一些与主题相关的重要词汇了。

今天的第一个词是

dopamine（多巴胺）。它指的是大脑中

的一种神经递质，在

动机、快乐和奖励中起着关键作用。它

通常在奖励性

体验中释放。例如，吃巧克力

会触发多巴胺的释放，使我们

感到快乐和满足。下一个词

是addiction（成瘾）。它指的是一种

状态，在这种状态下，一个人

变得依赖于某种物质或行为，常常导致

有害的后果。

例如，社交媒体成瘾

变得越来越普遍，因为我们从点赞和

通知中获得的持续不断的

多巴胺冲击。

下一个词是reward

system（奖励系统）。它指的是大脑中

控制快乐和动机感觉的

一组结构，通常由

多巴胺激活。

例如，当我们

收到积极的强化，比如

赞美或奖励时，大脑的奖励

系统会不断被激活。

下一个词是tolerance（耐受性）。它指的是

在重复接触后，某种物质或

行为的效果减弱，通常

导致需要更多才能达到

同样的效果。

例如，当你继续

体验多巴胺驱动的奖励时，你

可能会产生耐受性，需要

更强的刺激才能感受到同样的

快乐。最后一个词是craving（渴望）。

它指的是一种强烈的渴望或冲动，

想要体验某件事，通常与

对奖励或愉悦体验的需求相关，

例如多巴胺的释放。

例如，沉迷于电子游戏的人

常常会体验到强烈的

玩游戏的渴望，这是由

多巴胺驱动的。

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Simple

English podcast where we talk about

life, health, and big ideas all in

simple English. I'm Lisa, your host.

Today's topic is something that secretly

controls our lives every day. It's

inside our brains. It's tiny, but it's

super powerful. I'm talking about

dopamine, the feelgood chemical. But

here's the crazy part. Dopamine, which

is supposed to help us survive and feel

happy, is now making many of us act

like, well, addicts. Addicted to our

phones, to junk food, to endless

scrolling, to online shopping, you name

it. Why is it happening? How did

dopamine, something natural, turn into a

trap for

us? Today, I've invited Chris, our brain

science enthusiast, to help us break it

all down. As always, don't forget to

check out the free PDF file in the

comment section below to get the full

transcript and vocabulary for this

[Music]

episode. Hi Chris, welcome to the show.

Hey Lisa, thanks for having me. I'm

really excited about today's topic

because honestly, we're all dopamine

addicts in some way, even me. Haha, same

here. Don't worry, you're not alone,

Chris. All right, everyone. Let's dive

deep and find out how dopamine is

playing tricks on us. So Chris, first

off, what exactly is dopamine?

Dopamine is a chemical made by our

brains. It acts like a messenger. It

sends signals between brain cells and

helps us feel pleasure, motivation, and

reward. Imagine you eat a piece of

chocolate. Dopamine gets released and

your brain says, "Wow, that was amazing.

Let's do it again."

Oh, so dopamine is like a little reward

button inside our head.

Exactly. It helped early humans survive.

Thousands of years ago, when food was

hard to find, your brain needed a way to

say, "Hey, this berry is good. Eat

more."

That makes sense. But now we have

chocolate, pizza, Netflix, Tik Tok,

online shopping, all at our fingertips.

Yes, that's the problem. In the past,

rewards were rare. Now rewards are

everywhere. Your brain gets so many

dopamine hits it gets overloaded. Can

you give an everyday example? Sure.

Think about your phone. Every time you

get a like, a comment, or a funny video,

ding. Little bursts of dopamine. It

feels good. So your brain says, "Check

your phone again. Maybe there's more."

That's so true. Sometimes I check my

phone without even thinking.

Exactly.

It's not because we are weak. It's

because our brains are designed to chase

dopamine. Apps, social media, junk food

companies, they know this. They design

their products to keep giving you those

little rewards. It's like they're

hijacking our brain chemistry.

Totally. Another example, binge watching

shows. When you finish an episode, the

platform suggests the next one right

away. Your brain says, "One more

episode, please."

Haha, guilty again. But Chris, what

happens if we get too much dopamine all

the time?

Great question. When we flood our brain

with dopamine over time, the brain

becomes less sensitive. It's like

needing more sugar to get the same

sweetness. You need more scrolling, more

shopping, more food to feel good. So,

it's like building a tolerance.

Exactly. And that's why people get stuck

in bad habits. The brain thinks, "I need

more even if it's hurting you." like

staying up late, eating junk, or wasting

hours online.

Wow, it's scary but also eye opening. Is

there any way to fight back? Definitely.

First,

awareness. Knowing that dopamine is

controlling you is the first step.

Second, dopamine detox. That means

taking breaks from fast rewards like no

phone for a few hours, eating clean

food, reading a real book. It teaches

your brain to enjoy slow, healthy

pleasures again. I love that idea. Small

steps, not zero fun, but being more

mindful.

Exactly. You don't have to live like a

monk. Just learn to balance quick

rewards with deep, real rewards, like

creating, learning, connecting with

people face to face.

[Music]

All right, Chris, it's time for our fun

fact of the day. Here's a cool one.

Dopamine levels spike before you get the

reward, not

after. Scientists discovered that it's

the anticipation that makes your brain

excited. Wait, you're saying we feel the

most pleasure before we even eat the

chocolate or open the gift? Exactly.

That's why just thinking about pizza can

make your mouth water. Or why planning a

vacation feels so exciting, sometimes

more exciting than the trip itself?

That is so funny and so true. Our brains

are really tricky little things.

[Music]

All right, friends. Let's wrap it up.

Today, we learned that dopamine is a

natural part of life. It helps us feel

joy and motivation. But in today's

world, too much easy dopamine can trap

us in endless loops. Phone addiction,

junk food, shopping, and more. Yep. The

good news is you're not broken. You're

just human.

With awareness, small changes, and

practicing real world rewards, we can

take back control.

Absolutely. Start simple. Turn off

notifications. Go for a walk without

your phone. Enjoy real conversations

with friends. Small actions can reset

your brain. Remember, dopamine is not

the enemy. It just needs a little

balance. Thank you so much, Chris, for

joining us today and sharing all these

mind-blowing insights.

Thank you, Lisa. And thanks to everyone

listening. You're already one step ahead

by learning about your brain. All right,

if you enjoyed today's episode, please

like, comment, and subscribe to the

Simple English podcast. Share it with a

friend who needs a little dopamine

detox. See you next time, everyone.

[Music]

Bye-bye. Okay, everyone, it's time to

learn some important vocabulary related

to the topic. The first word of today is

dopamine. It means a neurotransmitter in

the brain that plays a key role in

motivation, pleasure, and reward. It is

often released in response to rewarding

experiences. Example, eating chocolate

triggers the release of dopamine making

us feel happy and satisfied. Next word

is addiction. It means a condition where

a person becomes dependent on a

substance or behavior often leading to

harmful consequences.

Example, social media addiction is

becoming more common because of the

constant dopamine hits we get from likes

and

notifications. Next word is reward

system. It means a group of structures

in the brain that control feelings of

pleasure and motivation often activated

by

dopamine. Example, the brain's reward

system is constantly activated when we

receive positive reinforcement like a

compliment or a reward.

Next word is tolerance. It means the

diminishing effect of a substance or

behavior after repeated exposure often

leading to the need for more to achieve

the same

effect. Example, as you continue to

experience dopamine-driven rewards, you

may develop a tolerance, needing

stronger stimuli to feel the same

pleasure. The last word is is craving.

It means a strong desire or urge to

experience something often linked to the

need for a rewarding or pleasurable

experience such as the release of

dopamine. Example, people who are

addicted to video games often experience

intense cravings to play driven by

dopamine.
