英语阅读：如何应对过度思考

Some people who overthink tend to get stuck in analysis
mode, by over-analyzing every nook and cranny of a situation
repeatedly, and in a circular pattern (around and back again
to the first).

一些过度思考的人会一次次过度分析情形的每一处，从而陷入分析模
式中，这种模式呈环形（绕一圈又回到出发点）。

That situation - the state when a thinker is “stuck” in
analysis - is sometimes called analysis paralysis. It's also
one form of procrastination.

当思考者在分析中无法自拔时，这种情形或状态有时也被 称为分析瘫
痪。它也是拖延症的一种形式。

It’s not difficult to imagine why this could be unhelpful or
even harmful for academic work.

想象一下，为什么这样会对学业无协助甚至有危害，其实并不难。

Students who encounter certain kinds of test questions are in
danger of analysis paralysis：

碰到各种类型问题的学生就有陷入分析瘫痪的危险：

Complex essay questions can cause students to get stuck
thinking about single aspect of the question and ignore
others.

复杂的问答题会使学生只执着于思考问题的一个方面，从而忽略其他
问题。
