Terms and Expressions:
心理暗示 (xīnlǐ ànshì) refers to the subtle influence that certain thoughts, words, or environments have on a person’s emotions, behavior, or mindset—often without them realizing it. It can come from others or be self-imposed. These suggestions can be positive (boosting confidence, motivation) or negative (causing fear, hesitation).
Here are a few examples:
那位演讲者用鼓励的话语给观众强烈的心理暗示，让大家觉得自己一定能成功。
Nà wèi yǎnjiǎng zhě yòng gǔlì de huàyǔ gěi guānzhòng qiángliè de xīnlǐ ànshì, ràng dàjiā juéde zìjǐ yídìng néng chénggōng.
The speaker used encouraging words to strongly suggest to the audience that they could succeed.

Měitiān zhào jìngzi shí wēixiào yíxià, yě shì gěi zìjǐ yí gè jījí de xīnlǐ ànshì.
Smiling at yourself in the mirror every day is a simple way to give yourself a positive mental cue.

Adversity isn’t the real threat — giving in to it is.
浇熄 (jiāo xī) mean To extinguish (a fire or flame) by pouring something (usually water) on it; can also be used metaphorically to describe quelling or dampening strong emotions, passions, or enthusiasm.
Here are a few examples:
