一席英语·脱口秀：老外来了

主播：Wendi（中国）+ 梅莉（法国） 歌曲： 360今天的节目，我们一起聊聊 the online buzzwords (网络热词) in China that have been commonly used by netizens。1. 抽象 Abstract在网络上是指一些让人迷惑的、不符合常规的行为或者语言。比如在公共场合穿很夸张很醒目的衣服，说一些前言不搭后语的话。Basically it’s like wild behaviors that doesn’t make any sense (没有任何意义).2. 硬控 Hard crowd control最初是用来指在游戏里把敌人摁在地上不能动 (pinned in place)，但后来在网络上指的是被某件事或者某个人深深地吸引，无法自拔。It refers to someone or something so incredible that people are easily captivated or mesmerized (被深深吸引) by their unique abilities or qualities.3. 牛马 Beasts of burden / Workhorse在网络用语中，它指的是辛苦上班的打工人。It refers to someone who’s very hardworking (辛勤工作的人).4. 班味 Office stench / The smell of toil指的是一个人辛苦工作后的疲惫感。It refers to someone feeling exhausted after a long day of work, so they have “the smell of toil” (辛苦工作的味道).5.古希腊掌管……的神 Greek god or goddess of something这个梗和古希腊没什么关系，因为古希腊的神都有掌管某种事物的能力，所以在网上说一个人是“古希腊掌管……的神”就是说她/他在这方面做的很出色，比如掌管拍照的神，掌管做饭的神。It refers to someone who excels in a certain area, like the GOAT (greatest of all time) of something (某领域的佼佼者).6. 偷感 Sus / Suspicious vibe偷感形容的是一种畏畏缩缩、小心翼翼的状态，像小偷一样。It refers to a feeling of being sneaky or suspicious (鬼鬼祟祟或可疑), like when someone slacks off (懈怠) at work.在英语中，可以说：It looks sus. Sus is short for suspicious.7. 摸鱼 Slack off形容一个人懒散、不认真工作或浪费时间。It means being lazy or wasting time, like when someone slacks off (偷懒) at work.“Slack off” means to stop working hard or putting effort (付出努力) into something.8.松弛感 Chill / Laid-back vibe形容一种放松、轻松、悠闲的状态。The term “松弛感” conveys a sense of “relaxation,” “ease,” or “looseness,”(放松、舒适的感觉) often referring to a relaxed or casual atmosphere, feeling, or attitude. It doesn’t carry the negative connotation of irresponsibility (不负责任) or laziness that “slacking off” might imply.Chill有冷的意思，在这里是放松的意思，a chill vibe，或者也可以说a laid-back vibe。Lay back，躺下，也是形容一种很放松、很chill的悠闲状态，都可以用来表达“松弛感”。9.浓人 & 淡人 Exuberant / passionate & reserved / stoic“浓人”指的是性格外放、情绪高涨的人；“淡人”指的是平时安静、情绪稳定的人。“浓人” can be described as passionate (热情洋溢的) or exuberant(活力充沛的), and “淡人” as reserved (矜持的) or stoic (隐忍的).请留言告诉我们：你还知道哪些中文网络热词。

主播：Wendi（中国）+ 梅莉（法国） 歌曲： Imagine大家这两天应该都发现了，小红书上忽然新增了很多外国网友，他们自称为“Tik Tok refugee”or “TT refugee”（Tik Tok“难民”）。中美网友现在在小红书上有非常多搞笑的互动。1. 小红书上的搞笑互动There are many fun interactions.比如，有很多网友说想要学习普通话（mandarin），然后中国网友就在评论区开始了教学。其中有一个网友的留言非常搞笑：“Well I might not have a job next week, but we will start learning Chinese!”小红书吸引了很多外国人学中文，and it’s very immersive（沉浸式的）。This will be a good way for both to learn each other’s languages (学习彼此的语言)!不过虽然小红书为中外网友提供了一个很好的学习语言的环境，但是有时候翻译不准确也会引起很多误会和笑话。比如有外国网友问：“小红书的‘种草’是什么意思？我需要去哪里买草？”种草 is not really planting grass but to create a desire for something—usually a product or service!There is still a lot to learn! But it’s great they’re trying to engage with Chinese culture (感受中国文化)！有些中国网友就在评论区分享一些中国美食或者中国文化。在小红书上还有一个很好笑的现象，有一些博主are now forced to speak English during their live broadcasts（在直播带货的时候被迫要说英文），because many foreign users have joined（因为有很多外国网友加入了直播间）。而且还有一些直播间变成了“英语角”（English corner），有些是中外网友在里面练英语，也有些是中国人在教外国人中文，it’s so funny!2. 想无障碍沟通，这些英文网络用语了解一下It’s not always easy to talk to foreigners online, especially when it involves Internet language or Internet slangs. 网络用语是最容易造成理解障碍的一个因素。中国网友开始学一些外国网络用语。比如说：btw是by the way的缩写，意思是：顺便说一句。rizz是charisma的简写，emphasizing the quality of being attractive or persuasive in social interactions，形容一个人有吸引力或者有说服力。smh是shaking my head的缩写，用来表达对某件失望、无奈或者无语。3. 文化的交流、互动It really seems like this migration to Xiaohongshu is more than just about social media. It’s creating unique cultural exchanges (创造独特的文化交流).This is very cool! Many users are learning about Chinese cuisine (中国美食) and scenery through Xiaohongshu, and some are even actively helping foreign users learn Chinese.不过，有点搞笑的是：有的小学生让外国网友帮忙做英语作业！Work smarter not harder. There are even elementary school students asking foreign users to help them with their English homework!更搞笑的是，these students are paying them back by sharing pictures of their pets（得到帮助的学生分享他们宠物的照片作为对外国网友的回报）。然后，渐渐地，it’s becoming a trend of sharing their pet pictures（分享宠物照片也成了中外网友互动的趋势之一）。Pet is also a universal language! 宠物也是一种通用的语言！面对大量外国网友的突然涌进，的确有很多人表现出担忧，但目前看来，小红书平台is all peaceful and nice (一片祥和), and people from both countries, especially the Americans, are enjoying this cultural exchange at the moment (正在享受这种文化交流)。And they are saying that Chinese people are really kind and really nice, and they really feel being welcomed here.希望这种好的趋势可以lead to more positive connections and learning experiences（带动更多积极的联结和学习经历）。这些“TikTok refugee”不仅让小红书变得更加国际化，也促进了中美网友的互动和交流。It’s fascinating to see how global events shape our online communities.

主播：翩翩（中国）+ 梅莉（法国） 歌曲： What Makes You Beautiful（开头）+Show Me [by Audrey Assad]（结尾）上一期节目中，我们用 12 个问题一起reflect on the past year(盘点过去的一年）。今天这期是新年计划系列的第二部分——2025 年新年计划。我们同样准备了7个prompts（提示问题），let’s plan for 2025！Prompt #1 : What is your theme for 2025? 你的2025年是什么主题？这个theme具体指the energy you want your year to represent or you want to have in your year (你希望这一年展现出的能量). 比如说to be bold and courageous（大胆一点、勇敢一点）、to go slower and heal（节奏慢一点，治愈自我）。翩翩的theme: focus and deepen (聚焦与深耕)Prompt #2 How can I embody my theme this year? 如何体现这个主题？具体来讲，就是怎样才能开始living this theme（把这个主题活出来）, 想一想需要做什么改变才能将你的新年主题加入到你实际的生活中。翩翩：比如我的新年主题是聚焦与深耕，那我要定下我要聚焦的项目，并且不要贪多，人一贪婪，能量和智慧都会降低。就定一个，然后每天去刻意练习。This way I can embody my theme this year.Prompt #3 How do I want to evolve in 2025? 2025年我想如何演变、进化、发展？Evolve means to grow and change.针对这个问题，我们可以倒推思考，就是想想2025年年末的时候，你想成为什么人？This can be about habits (习惯), your personality (性格) etc.Prompt #4：What do you want to release in 2025? 什么是你想断舍离的，不带入2025年的？This can be bad habits, emotions, mindset (思维), certain relationships etc.就是做一个结界，盘算一下，你需要释放掉哪些戕害自己的人或事。任何不好的东西，你都可以列下来，release them。Release the bad things, 然后好福气才会进得来。Prompt #5：What are your main goals in 2025? 2025年最主要的目标是什么？This is a step where you should really take the time to think about what goals you want to set. 你应该花时间认真思考想要设定哪些目标。而且不能贪多（3 to 5 goals），目标太多，人会be overwhelmed (被压垮)，就像之前说的，人一贪婪，能量和智慧都会下降。一旦设置好，其他所有事情都要为其让路。Make sure to prioritize them (把这些目标放在首要位置、优先处理的位置).还有很重要的一点，就是得知道为什么定这几个作为你的年度主要目标，不能拍脑门乱定。在每个任务旁边，要写下why you want to achieve this goal (为什么要实现这个目标), and also write down how it related to you living your dream life（写下它和你所梦想的生活的关联）.Have a good “why” because that’s also what is going to keep you motivated to work towards and achieve those goals when things get hard. 拥有一个明确的“理由”，当事情变得困难时，这将是激励你朝着目标努力并最终实现它们的关键。Prompt #6：How do I want to transform myself? 我想如何转变？依然是倒推思维，picture the version of yourself you want to become. 想像一下你理想中的自我版本是什么样的？Build new habits. 建立新的习惯。然后掌控习惯。Identify the small daily or weekly actions that can help support your transformation. 从微小的行为入手，来达成转变。For example, if you want to get fit, maybe it’s starting with 10 minutes of exercise each day and gradually increasing it. 比如，如果你想让自己变得健康，可以从每天10分钟的锻炼开始，然后逐渐增加时间。Prompt #7：What are some things I could start doing today that would guarantee an absolutely horrible year? 有哪些事情，如果我从今天开始做，一定会让我这一年过得特别烂？这其实是一个反向的问题，所以当我们列出来这些之后，应该问问自己，该如何避免做这些？翩翩：staying up late (晚睡)、手机闲聊Maelle：spending quite a lot of time in front of screens (花了太多时间在电子产品上)这些提示问题问完之后，我们就可以break down our goals, and plan them on a quarterly, monthly, weekly and then daily basis (把我们的目标细化，并按照季度、月度、每周甚至每天的维度来进行规划).制定新年计划是实现更好自己的重要一步。希望通过这期podcast，能够帮助你理清日常和年度计划的重点，并从中获得创造更好生活的动力。What is your theme for 2025? 你的2025年主题是什么？欢迎在评论区与我们分享，让更多人了解你的2025计划！Happy New Year! 新年快乐！
