“匆忙症”英语怎么说

　　名词解释：都市人群中上班一族易得的一种病症，在心理学上与之相近的是强迫症。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

　　Eating lunch at your desk while also checking emails and talking on the phone? When microwaving something for 30 seconds, do you feel the urge to find something else to do while you wait?

　　If one or more of these sounds all too familiar, you probably have a bad case of a malady that psychologists have dubbed "hurry sickness."

　　"Many executives see it as a badge of honor," Richard Jolly, a London Business School professor says, "But in fact, hurry sickness can also damage your career even before it wrecks your health, because being in an incessant hurry has a way of making people miss the forest for the trees."

　　一边在办公桌前吃午餐，一边查看电子邮件和接电话?当你用微波炉将食物热30秒钟的时候，你是否觉得应该找些别的事情边等边做?

　　如果你也有一种或多种上述症状，你或许已经患上了一种被心理学家称为“匆忙症”的疾病。

　　伦敦商学院教授查德·乔利表示：“尽管许多高管将匆忙症视为荣誉勋章，但事实上，它在破坏你的健康之前，首先会毁掉你的事业，因为总是匆忙地赶时间工作，会让人只见树木不见森林。”

　　【讲解】

　　文中的hurry sickness就是“匆忙症”的意思，其中sickness是名词，意为“疾病”，较口语化，可与illness换用，泛指一切疾病，如：radiation sickness(辐射病),infectious illness(传染病);而disease多指具体的疾病，且通常较严重，发病时间也较长，如：The doctor examined him but could find no sign of heart disease.(医生给他做了检查，没有发现有心脏病的症状。)

　　第三段中的badge作名词，意为“勋章，徽章”，如：merit badge(奖章)，police badge(警徽)。
