Stuffocation is the feeling of being overwhelmed and weighed down by material things, i.e. 'stuff'. In practice this can mean different things to different people, but classic examples include regularly having to rummage1 through masses of junk you never use in order to get to the items you actually need, opening a wardrobe brimming with garments and not being able to find a thing to wear, and on receiving a gift, not feeling pleasure or gratitude2 but a surge of indifference3 or anxiety about what you're going to do with it.
Stuffocation指被各种物品、杂物淹没,致使不堪重负的感觉,大家可称之为杂物窒息。这种杂物窒息的状况对不一样的人来讲情形各异,不过,比较典型的例子有:找到你真的需要的东西之前需要先翻遍一堆永远都用不到的杂物,打开塞满衣物的衣柜却找不到一件能穿的衣服,或者,收到一份礼物的时候,感觉到的不是欣喜或者感激,而是一种漠然或者焦虑的心情,由于你开始想着这个礼物要如何处置。
In short, rather than thinking of stuff in a positive way, believing that material things are useful or pleasant and enhance our lives, stuffocation embodies4 the idea that more things equate5 to more to deal with, more to organize, and so more hassle.
简而言之,stuffocation传递的信息并非那样积极:物品越多并不可以对生活有更多益处,也不会提升生活水平,而是你需要更多的时间去处置、归置这类物品,由此带来的麻烦事儿也更多。
