Main Topic: burn out (v)/burnout (n)

本日主題: 筋疲力盡，生理和心理(請看內文，會更清楚喔!!!)

"Burn out" and "burnout" usually mean feeling very tired physically and mentally or exhausted. In a situation of being very tired after work, you can applied following expressions "I am totally burned out", "My job burns me out" or "I have a bad burnout after work". "Burn out" is very common-used in a daily basis to describe "being very tired".

"Burn out"和"burnout"通常是只感覺非常疲累，可以是心理上和生理上的。在一個工作後拖著非常疲累身軀的情境，你可以這樣說來表達你非常疲累"I am totally burned out", "My job burns me out" 或 "I have a bad burnout after work"這些表示方式都是非常普遍用來表示非常疲累的說法。

By its literal words, "burn", it is actually related to fire in the first place. For instance, in a dark room with a box of matches, you must light up the matches to illuminate the room. However, for a match, it can’t last long. When a match is off, you need to light up another. Therefore, as a person, we work or consume our energy for long hours. Finally, our energy must be used up, and we need to regenerate energy through resting, picture.1 and picture.2. By the imagination with matches, we can easily grip the complete idea about "burn out" or "burnout".

藉由其字面上的意思"burn"，其確實在一開始的用法是和火有關係的。舉例來說，在一個沒有光線的環境，但是擁有一盒火柴的情境，你必定點燃火柴去讓房間看起來亮一些。然而火柴的並不能維持很久就會熄滅。火柴熄滅時，你必定點燃另一根火柴。對人類來說，當我們工作或是長時間坐消耗體力的事情時，最後，待體力耗盡，我們需要透過睡眠來補充能量，請見圖.1和圖.2。藉由火柴的想像，我們可以輕易的了解整個"burn out"或"burnout"的意思。
