戒除咖啡瘾的方法（双语对照）

  Caffeine addiction is so commonplace that nobody will bat an eye if you say you need your daily dose of coffee.Though people claim that coffee benefits them, the efficacy of the brown liquid is often misconceived. For starters, studies have shown that although caffeine may give you more speed, you'll be more prone to making mistakes. This means even if you have a larger output, it'll be of lower quality. More negatives include feeling jittery when you drink too much coffee and withdrawal symptoms like headaches if you choose to stop drinking. Convinced? Here are some tips to kicking your caffeine habit to the curb for good this year:

咖啡瘾太常见了，所以如果你说要每天喝杯咖啡，都没有人会在意。虽然人们声称咖啡对他们有益，但这种棕色液体的功效却被经常误解。对刚开始喝咖啡的人们来说，研究表明虽然咖啡因会让你做事速度更快，但也更容易犯错误。这意味着虽然你做了更多事，但质量却更低。负面影响还有：咖啡喝多后会焦躁不安，不喝时会有头痛的戒断症状。现在相信了吧？

       下面有些小建议可以让你今年永远摆脱喝咖啡的习惯：

1. Figure out your quitting style. Everyone has their own way of kicking bad habits, and you can either choose to go cold turkey or ease off it slowly. Remember, if you go cold turkey and suffer withdrawal symptoms, don't take any pain medication for your headaches since those have caffeine in it as well!

1. 找到自己的“退出”方式。每个人都有戒掉坏习惯的方法，你可以痛定思痛下决心快速戒掉，也可以慢慢除去坏习惯。要记住的是，如果你决定快点戒掉并且出现戒断症状，别用吃药治疗头痛，因为这些也含有咖啡因！

2. Find a replacement. When you find yourself craving coffee, try to replace it with caffeine-free tea. Chamomile and mint tea are always good options.

2. 找替代品。当你很想喝咖啡时，试着喝茶代替，它们不含咖啡因。菊花茶和薄荷茶总是很好的选择。

3. Try decaf. When you just miss the comfort of the taste of coffee, opt for decaf. Keep in mind that there's actually a small amount of caffeine in a decaffeinated cup of joe, so drink a small cup.

3. 试试看无咖啡因咖啡。当你想起沁人心脾的咖啡味时，就喝没有咖啡因的咖啡吧。要记得在一杯“不含咖啡因”的咖啡中，还是会有少量咖啡因的，所以喝一小杯即可。

Of course, it's up to each individual to decide if quitting coffee is right for them. I'd say you should truly consider it if you're drinking excessive amounts (more than three or four cups a day) and if you're feeling some of the negative effects of caffeine.

当然，每个人要自己决定戒咖啡是否合适。如果你喝过量的咖啡（一天超过三四杯），而且感觉到咖啡因的一些副作用，我觉得你确实该考虑一下是否要戒了。
