"Be on automatic pilot" hoặc "on autopilot" = chế độ tự động -> nghĩa là đang vô thức hành động, làm như một cái máy (vì đã làm nó quá nhiều lần).
Ví dụ
If you have ever driven from A to B and got there without realising that you have gone down a road or through a village or through a set of traffic lights, as if you were on autopilot, that is a state of trance (thôi miên).
Q: On the flip side, can you give examples of how we can do more, and how our lives would improve if we could slow down?
A: I think the main benefit from not feeling rushed is time for reflection (suy ngẫm). All too often, people are on “automatic pilot,” which leaves little opportunity for discovering new or better ways of doing things.
In Iceland, the country’s forestry service (cục kiểm lâm) has recommended that people hug a tree once a day during lockdown, to aid relaxation (thư giãn) and boost their sense of wellbeing. Rangers (kiểm lâm viên) are recommending a daily five-minute tree hug. A rather peculiar instruction (chỉ dẫn đặc biệt), but there’s something quite lovely about it too. This got me thinking about hugging. Before now I had never thought a lot about hugging. I suppose it’s just one of those things we do on automatic pilot.
