Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Li Ming, let me ask you a question.

Huh? What's the problem? you say.

Have you ever felt...sometimes, life seems a bit boring?

Not interesting?

Why are you asking this suddenly?

Have you encountered anything recently?

It’s not a big deal either.

It’s just...the same every day.

Get up in the morning, go to the company to work,

Get off work at night, go home to eat and sleep.

The next day, I got up again and went to the company...

I felt like a robot.

I understand.

You feel that life is a bit repetitive and tiring, right?

Yes! That’s the word, “tired.”

Not only was my body tired, but my heart was also tired.

It seems like there are a lot of things to do, but I don’t know why.

Feeling a lot of pressure.

I totally understand.

Many people will feel this way.

However... I noticed that you seem a little different today.

You look in good spirits and there is light in your eyes.

(laughing) Really? Is it that obvious?

Really.

You seem very happy, not like usual.

Have you found any good solution to this problem?

Tell me quickly.

Haha, you discovered it.

Actually, I started to do a very simple thing recently.

What's going on?

I started running.

Running? Really? This is great!

I remember you always said that your least favorite sport was running.

Yes, I used to find running tiring and boring.

However, I really didn’t expect that after I started running, I felt completely different.

Oh? Why is it different?

I'd love to hear your story.

Well...this story is a bit long.

It is about a feeling, that is... when life is very boring,

When you run, the wind seems to blow over you.

That feeling is so good.

"When life is boring, when you run, the wind will blow over you."

This sentence is really good.

Let’s talk about this today.

Just now you talked about your feelings. Going to and from get off work every day makes life very repetitive.

Where do you think this "stuffy" feeling mainly comes from? Is it work?

I think work is a big part of the reason.

My work is very busy. I have to answer many emails and talk to many people every day.

When I get off work, I often feel that my mind is no longer my own.

It is filled with work matters.

I understand.

It's like a cup filled with water and can't hold anything else.

Yes! That's what it feels like.

When I got home, I just wanted to lie on the sofa and play with my phone. I didn’t want to do anything else.

Watching some interesting short videos seems to temporarily forget the worries of work.

What then?

When you wake up the next morning, do you feel that the problem is still there?

Yes.

I still have to face the same work and the same pressure the next day.

So, I feel very bored, as if I am in a circle every day and can't escape.

What about you?

You are also busy at work. Do you feel this way?

Of course.

I think everyone has it.

For me, when I’m stressed, I feel annoyed and don’t want to talk.

Sometimes, I will go to a quiet place to sit for a while,

such as a park or a cafe.

Staying alone? Is it useful?

is of some use. Let me think quietly.

However, if you just sit there, the questions in your mind will still keep spinning.

As you said, the "circle" is still there.

So, I think we need to do something to break this circle.

So you went for a run?

When did you start running?

I started a few years ago.

At that time, I had just changed to a new job. I was very stressed and couldn't sleep well every day.

I went to see a doctor. The doctor said that I was too nervous and suggested that I do more exercise.

is somewhat similar to my situation.

It was also because I felt a lot of pressure.

A friend said to me: "Go for a run, it will be good if you sweat."

Haha, it seems that we all started running because of the pressure.

When I ran for the first time, I actually felt very bad.

Really?

Me too!

I thought I was the only one like this.

Of course not.

I think change is always difficult.

Especially for us modern people who are accustomed to "sitting" to

"run" again,

it really takes a lot of courage.

Tell me, what was it like for you to run for the first time?

I remember it clearly.

It was one night,

I finished my dinner, changed into my sneakers, and walked out the door.

I told myself that I would run for at least twenty minutes today.

Twenty minutes! So many!

At that time, I thought that twenty minutes should not be difficult.

However, I ran for maybe less than five minutes, and I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore.

My legs are heavy, my heart is beating very fast, and it's hard to breathe.

I understand!

The first time I ran, I only ran for three minutes!

Really, in just three minutes, I felt like I was going to die.

At that time, I thought that running is really not a human sport.

I'd better go home and lie down.

It seems we are all the same.

I also wanted to give up.

There are many people walking faster than me on the road.

I feel very embarrassed.

I stopped and started walking.

Yes, me too.

When I stopped to walk, I was thinking:

I will never run again tomorrow.

It's too difficult.

Yes.

But as I walked, I thought,

The doctor’s words, my friends’ suggestions... I think I should try again.

So I started running slowly again.

Running very slowly, a little faster than walking.

What then?

Did you last twenty minutes?

No.

I ran for about ten minutes and then walked for ten minutes.

However, just when I was very tired from running and wanted to stop,

A gust of evening wind blew over.

Ah! wind!

Yes, wind.

It was a bit hot that night and I sweated a lot.

The gust of wind blowing on my face and body felt very cool and comfortable.

At that second, I seemed to have forgotten how tired I was.

I know!

I totally know that feeling!

It was the same when I ran for the first time!

I ran to the small park next to our house.

There are many trees in the park.

I couldn't run anymore, so I stopped and held on to a tree.

At that time, I also felt the wind.

What does it feel like?

The wind blows through the leaves, making a "rustling" sound, which is very nice.

The wind blew on my face. Because my face was covered with sweat, it felt cold and very comfortable.

At that moment, all the worries about work in my mind seemed to be blown away by the wind along with the sweat.

It is said so well, "Trouble and sweat are blown away by the wind."

This is like a metaphor, our worries and stress are like dirt in the body.

When we run and sweat, it’s like taking a bath in our hearts.

Give your heart a bath?

This metaphor is really interesting.

I've never thought of it that way before.

I just felt that at that moment, the world was very quiet,

there was only the sound of the wind and the sound of my heartbeat.

I discovered for the first time that my city is so beautiful at night.

The lighting in the park is very gentle,

There are some people walking, and they all look relaxed.

Right.

This is the first gift that running brings.

It allows us to get out of our own little world,

and see the outside world.

When we usually drive or take the subway, the speed is too fast.

We use our own feet to run,

use our own eyes to see,

only then can we discover the beauty around us that we have forgotten.

Yes.

Although the first run was very tiring, because of the comfortable wind,

and the quiet night, I decided to continue the next day.

Did you persevere?

Persevered.

Although I don’t run every day.

I run about three times a week.

From the beginning I could only run for three minutes, but now,

I can easily run for more than 20 minutes.

Wow, great progress!

What changes do you think running has brought to you?

In addition to letting you discover the beauty of the night.

There are too many changes.

First, I sleep better.

In the past, although I felt tired at night, I always couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed.

I would think about many things in my mind.

Now, the night after I came back from running, I lay on the bed after taking a shower.

I fell asleep quickly and slept soundly.

That's for sure.

Exercise is the best sleeping pill.

Only when the body is tired can the brain truly rest.

Then, my spirit also improved.

You just said that I look in good spirits.

I used to feel very sleepy in the afternoon at work and wanted to drink coffee.

Now, I feel very energetic throughout the day.

I feel the same way.

Many people think that exercise will make you more tired, but in fact it is just the opposite.

Regular exercise will make your body more energetic.

The most important change is my mood.

I rarely feel that life is "boring" now.

When I encounter something unhappy or feel very stressed at work, I go for a run.

Running becomes a way for you to relax.

Right.

When running, I can think about anything or nothing.

I just focus on my breathing and my steps.

After running, I was sweating profusely and felt that all the bad emotions had disappeared.

I feel like I can face those difficulties again.

This is what we often say, exercise can make people more positive and optimistic.

Actually, this process is very interesting.

When running, our body will tell us: "I'm tired, stop."

But our brain will say: "Keep on holding on, you can do it."

Every time we overcome the "tiredness" of the body,

our hearts will become stronger.

Well! I discovered it recently too.

I used to think that many work difficulties were "impossible."

Now I think, if I can persevere even though running is so tiring,

I can definitely solve this problem at work.

Very good.

You see, running not only exercises our body, it also exercises our will.

By the way, did you encounter any interesting people or things when you were running?

Yes!

I often see a group of aunties in the park.

They dance in the same place every night.

The music is loud and they dance very happily.

Everyone has a smile on their face.

Are you talking about "square dancing"?

Yes, it should be. What is "square dance"?

"Square dancing" is very common in China. There are many retired uncles and aunts.

They like to go to places like parks or squares to play music and dance together at night.

This is a form of physical exercise and a way of socializing.

They all look very healthy and happy.

Yes!

Every time I run past them and see their smiles,

my own mood will get better.

I think their attitude towards life is particularly good.

They also made me understand that happiness is actually very simple. Dancing with friends makes me happy.

That's right.

Do we need so many complicated things in our lives?

Probably not needed.

Sometimes, the simplest activities, such as running and

dancing, can bring us the most real happiness.

I'm so happy for you after hearing your story.

I believe that many friends who listen to our podcast may be like you before,

feeling pressured in life and want to change, but don't know how to start.

Do you have any advice for them?

Well... I think the most important thing is not to have too high demands on yourself.

How to say?

Like the first time I ran, I only ran for three minutes.

If I had thought, "Three minutes is too little, I'm really useless," I might have given up.

However, I told myself: "It doesn't matter, three minutes is also a start.

I ran for three minutes today, and I can try running for four minutes tomorrow."

This mentality is particularly good.

We call it the "small steps principle".

Don’t always think about running ten kilometers in one breath, start by being able to walk out of the door.

Put on your sneakers and go out for a walk for ten minutes today, it will be a victory.

Yes!

Also, it is important to prepare a pair of comfortable shoes.

If the shoes are not comfortable, running will become a very uncomfortable thing.

This is very practical advice. Equipment can be simple,

but a good pair of shoes is a must.

In addition, listening to music is also a good way.

Do you listen to music while running?

Listen! I will listen to some songs with a faster tempo.

I feel like running along with the music will make me less tired.

It seems like someone is accompanying you and encouraging you.

Yes.

Music can distract us and make us forget fatigue.

Let me add one more thing, I think we can find a friend to go with.

Or, join a running community.

Looking for friends? Why?

When you run alone, you sometimes feel lonely.

Especially when the weather is bad or you are very tired, it is easy to give up.

If you have made an appointment with a friend, you may think:

"He is still waiting for me, I have to go."

In this way, supervising each other and encouraging each other will make it easier to stick to it.

This is a good idea!

Next time I should ask my friends,

if they want to run with me.

Right. You see, the "running" we are talking about today does not necessarily refer to the sport of "running".

...

It can be any small thing you start doing for a change.

For example, if you feel life is boring,

you can start reading for ten minutes every day.

Or, learn five new Chinese words every day.

Or, start learning to cook a new dish.

These things are small,

but when you start taking action and persist,

you will feel the comfortable feeling of "wind blowing over you".

I understand.

The important thing is not "what to do",

but the action itself of "starting to do it".

This action can break the "circle" that makes us feel bored.

That's absolutely correct.

Action is the best way to solve all anxiety and worries.

Don’t think too much, start running first and then talk.

Li Ming, it’s so nice to chat with you today.

I think we talked about a very simple thing very clearly.

I am also very happy.

Your story gave me a lot of new ideas.

Life can be tiring sometimes,

However, the solution to the problem may be hidden in a gust of wind once you go out.

Well!

Let’s summarize some interesting words we talked about today.

OK, come on.

I think the most important word today is "pressure".

When we feel "stressed", we can try "running".

Well, although running is "tiring", you will feel very "comfortable" after running.

Yes!

If you stick to it, there will be good "changes" in your life.

The most important thing is "persistence".

sums it up well. Pressure, running, tiredness, comfort, change, persistence.

I think these words are also very useful for friends who learn Chinese.

The process of learning Chinese is also like running.

Oh? How to say?

It will be difficult at the beginning. You will feel very tired and want to give up.

However, as long as you insist on learning a little bit every day and speaking a little bit every day,

Slowly, you will find your progress,

That feeling will be as comfortable as the wind blowing over you.

You are so right!

So, friends who listen to our podcast, what about you?

When you feel that life is a little tiring and the pressure is a little high,

what will you do?

Should I go for a run, listen to music, or chat with friends?

Everyone is welcome to tell us.

Okay, that’s it for today’s “Everyday Chinese”.

I hope our chat can bring you a little relaxation and happiness.

See you next time!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

[Chinese]

李明，我问你一个问题。

嗯？什么问题？你说。

你有没有觉得……有的时候，生活好像有点没意思？

没意思？

怎么会突然问这个？

你最近遇到什么事情了吗？

也不是什么大事。

就是……每天都一样。

早上起床，去公司工作，

晚上下班，回家吃饭，睡觉。

第二天，又是起床，去公司……

感觉自己像一个机器人。

我明白了。

你觉得生活有点重复，有点累，对不对？

对！就是这个词，“累”。

不只是身体累，心里也觉得很累。

好像有很多事情要做，但是又不知道为什么要做。

感觉压力很大。

我完全理解。

很多人都会有这种感觉。

不过……我发现你今天好像有点不一样。

你的精神看起来很好，眼睛里有光。

(笑) 真的吗？有那么明显吗？

真的。

你好像很高兴，和平时不太一样。

你是不是发现了什么解决这个问题的好办法？

快告诉我。

哈哈，被你发现了。

其实，我最近开始做一件很简单的事情。

什么事？

我开始跑步了。

跑步？真的吗？这很棒啊！

我记得你以前总是说，你最不喜欢的运动就是跑步。

是啊，我以前也觉得跑步又累又无聊。

但是，我真的没想到，开始跑步以后，我的感觉完全不一样了。

哦？怎么不一样？

我很想听听你的故事。

嗯……这个故事有点长。

它关于一种感觉，就是……生活很闷的时候，

你跑起来，好像就会有风吹过来。

那种感觉，特别好。

“当生活很闷的时候，跑起来，就会有风吹过来。”

这句话说得真好。

我们今天就来聊聊这个吧。

刚才你说了你的感觉，每天上班、下班，生活很重复。

你觉得，这种“闷”的感觉，主要是从哪里来的？是工作吗？

我觉得，工作是很大的一部分原因。

我的工作很忙，每天要回很多邮件，要和很多人说话。

下班的时候，我常常觉得自己的脑子已经不是自己的了，

里面装满了工作的事情。

我懂。

就像一个杯子，里面装满了水，再也放不下别的东西了。

对！就是这种感觉。

回到家，我就想躺在沙发上玩手机，什么也不想做。

看一些有意思的小视频，好像可以暂时忘记工作的烦恼。

然后呢？

第二天早上醒来，是不是感觉问题还在那里？

是的。

第二天还是要面对同样的工作，同样的压力。

所以，我觉得很闷，好像每天都在一个圈里，跑不出去。

你呢？

你工作也忙，你会有这种感觉吗？

当然会。

我觉得每个人都会有。

对我来说，压力大的时候，我也会觉得很烦，不想说话。

有时候，我会一个人去一个安静的地方坐一会儿，

比如公园或者咖啡馆。

一个人待着？有用吗？

有一点用。可以让我安静地想一想。

但是，如果只是坐着，脑子里的问题还是会不停地转。

就像你说的，那个“圈”还在。

所以，我觉得，我们需要做点什么，来打破这个圈。

所以你就去跑步了？

你是什么时候开始跑步的？

我是几年前开始的。

那时候我刚换了一份新工作，压力特别大，每天都睡不好。

我去看医生，医生说我太紧张了，建议我多做运动。

和我的情况有点像。

我也是因为觉得压力大，

一个朋友对我说：“你去跑跑步吧，出出汗就好了。”

哈哈，看来我们都是因为压力大才开始跑步的。

我第一次跑的时候，其实感觉非常不好。

真的吗？

我也是！

我还以为只有我自己是这样。

当然不是。

我觉得，改变总是很难的。

特别是让我们这些已经习惯了“坐着”的现代人，重新

“跑起来”，

真的需要很大的勇气。

你快说说，你第一次跑步是什么感觉？

我记得很清楚。

那是一个晚上，

我吃完晚饭，换了运动鞋，走出门。

我告诉自己，今天至少要跑二十分钟。

二十分钟！那么多！

当时我觉得二十分钟应该不难。

但是，我跑了可能还不到五分钟，我就觉得不行了。

我的腿很重，心跳得非常快，呼吸也很困难。

我懂！

我第一次跑的时候，只跑了三分钟！

真的，只有三分钟，我就觉得我要死了。

当时我想，跑步真不是人做的运动。

我还是回家躺着吧。

看来我们都是一样的。

我当时也想放弃。

路上有很多人走得都比我快。

我觉得很不好意思。

我就停下来，开始走路。

对，我也是。

停下来走路的时候，心里在想：

明天再也不跑了。

太难了。

是的。

但是我一边走，一边想，

医生的话，朋友的建议……我觉得我应该再试一次。

所以我又慢慢地跑了起来。

跑得很慢很慢，比走路快一点点。

然后呢？

你坚持了二十分钟吗？

没有。

我大概跑了十分钟，然后走了十分钟。

但是，就在我跑得很累，很想停下来的时候，

一阵晚风吹了过来。

啊！风！

对，风。

那天晚上有点热，我出了很多汗。

那阵风吹在脸上、身上，感觉特别凉快，特别舒服。

就在那一秒钟，我好像忘记了累。

我知道！

我完全知道那种感觉！

我第一次跑步的时候也是！

我跑到我们家旁边的小公园里，

公园里有很多树。

我跑不动了，就停下来扶着一棵树。

那时候，我也感觉到了风。

是什么样的感觉？

风吹过树叶，有“沙沙”的声音，很好听。

风吹在我的脸上，因为我脸上都是汗，所以感觉冰冰的，很舒服。

那一刻，我脑子里所有关于工作的烦恼，好像都和汗一起，被风吹走了。

说得太好了，“烦恼和汗一起，被风吹走了”。

这就像一个比喻，我们的烦恼和压力，就像身体里的脏东西。

我们跑步，出汗，就像在给我们的心里洗个澡。

给心里洗个澡？

这个比喻真有意思。

我以前从来没这么想过。

我只是觉得，那一刻，世界很安静，

只有风的声音和我的心跳声。

我第一次发现，原来我的城市，晚上这么漂亮。

公园里的灯光很温柔，

还有一些人在散步，看起来都很放松。

对。

这就是跑步带来的第一个礼物。

它让我们从自己的小世界里走出来，

去看看外面的世界。

我们平时开车或者坐地铁，速度太快了。

我们用自己的脚去跑步，

用自己的眼睛去看，

才能发现身边那些被我们忘记了的美好。

是的。

虽然第一次跑步很累，但是因为那阵舒服的风，

和那个安静的晚上，我决定，第二天还要继续。

那你坚持下来了吗？

坚持下来了。

虽然不是每天都跑。

我一个星期大概跑三次。

从一开始只能跑三分钟，到现在，

我已经可以很轻松地跑二十多分钟了。

哇，进步很大！

那你觉得，跑步给你带来了哪些变化？

除了让你发现夜晚的美丽。

变化太多了。

首先，我睡得更好了。

以前我晚上虽然觉得累，但是躺在床上总是睡不着，

脑子里会想很多事情。

现在，跑步回来的晚上，我洗完澡躺在床上，

很快就睡着了，而且睡得很香。

这是肯定的。

运动是最好的安眠药。

身体累了，大脑才能真正地休息。

然后，我的精神也变好了。

你刚才也说我看起来精神很好。

我以前下午在公司总是觉得很困，想喝咖啡。

现在，我感觉自己一天都很有能量。

我也有同感。

很多人觉得运动会让你更累，其实正好相反。

有规律的运动，会让你的身体更有活力。

最重要的一个变化，是我的心情。

我现在很少会觉得生活“很闷”了。

当我遇到不开心的事情，或者工作压力很大的时候，我就会去跑步。

跑步成了一个让你放松的方式。

对。

在跑步的时候，我什么都可以想，也可以什么都不想。

我只专注于我的呼吸，我的脚步。

跑完步，大汗淋漓，感觉所有不好的情绪都消失了。

我觉得自己又可以面对那些困难了。

这就是我们常说的，运动可以让人变得更积极，更乐观。

其实，这个过程很有意思。

跑步的时候，我们的身体会告诉我们：“我累了，停下来吧。”

但是我们的大脑会说：“再坚持一下，你可以的。”

每一次我们战胜了身体的“累”，

我们的内心就会变得更强大一点。

嗯！我最近也发现了。

以前我觉得很多工作上的困难是“不可能完成的”。

现在我会想，跑步那么累我都能坚持下来，

工作上的这点问题，肯定也能解决。

非常好。

你看，跑步不仅仅是锻炼身体，它还在锻炼我们的意志。

对了，你跑步的时候，有没有遇到一些有意思的人或事？

有啊！

我经常在公园里看到一群阿姨。

她们每天晚上都在同一个地方跳舞，

音乐声音很大，她们跳得特别开心，

每个人脸上都带着笑。

你说的是“广场舞”吧？

对，应该是。什么是“广场舞”？

“广场舞”在中国很常见。就是很多退休的叔叔阿姨，

他们喜欢在晚上，去公园或者广场这样的地方，一起放着音乐跳舞。

这是一种锻炼身体，也是一种社交方式。

他们看起来都非常健康和快乐。

是的！

我每次跑过她们身边，看到她们的笑容，

我自己的心情也会变好。

我觉得她们的生活态度特别好。

她们也让我明白，快乐其实很简单，和朋友们一起跳跳舞，就很开心。

没错。

我们的生活需不需要那么多复杂的东西？

可能并不需要。

有时候，最简单的活动，比如跑步、

跳舞，就能给我们带来最真实的快乐。

听了你的故事，我很为你高兴。

我相信，听我们播客的很多朋友，可能也和以前的你一样，

觉得生活有压力，想改变，但是不知道怎么开始。

你有什么建议给他们吗？

嗯……我觉得，最重要的一点是，不要对自己要求太高。

怎么说？

就像我第一次跑步，我只跑了三分钟。

如果我当时觉得，“三分钟太少了，我真没用”，可能我就放弃了。

但是，我告诉自己：“没关系，三分钟也是一个开始。

今天跑了三分钟，明天我可以试试跑四分钟。”

这个心态特别好。

我们把它叫做“小步子原则”。

不要总想着一口气跑十公里，先从能走出门开始。

今天穿上运动鞋，出去走十分钟，就是胜利。

对！

还有，准备一双舒服的鞋子很重要。

如果鞋子不舒服，跑步会变成一件很难受的事情。

这是非常实际的建议。装备可以很简单，

但一双好鞋是必须的。

另外，听音乐也是一个好方法。

你跑步的时候听音乐吗？

听！我会听一些节奏比较快的歌，

感觉跟着音乐跑，就不会那么累了。

好像有人在陪着你，鼓励你。

是的。

音乐可以分散我们的注意力，让我们忘记疲劳。

那我再补充一点，我觉得可以找一个朋友一起。

或者，加入一个跑步的社群。

找朋友一起？为什么？

一个人跑步，有时候会觉得孤单，

特别是天气不好，或者自己很累的时候，就很容易放弃。

如果和朋友约好了，你可能就会想：

“他还在等我，我必须去。”

这样互相监督，互相鼓励，更容易坚持下去。

这个主意不错！

下次我应该问问我的朋友，

要不要和我一起跑。

对。你看，我们今天聊的“跑步”，

其实不一定真的是指“跑步”这个运动。

它可以是任何一件你为了改变而开始做的小事。

比如，你觉得生活没意思，

你可以开始每天读十分钟的书。

或者，每天学五个新的中文词。

或者，开始学做一道新菜。

这些事情都很小，

但是，当你开始行动，并且坚持下去，

你就会感觉到那种“风吹过来”的舒服的感觉。

我明白了。

重要的不是“做什么”，

而是“开始做”这个动作本身。

这个动作，就能打破那个让我们觉得很闷的“圈”。

完全正确。

行动，是解决所有焦虑和烦恼的最好办法。

不要想太多，先跑起来再说。

李明，今天跟你聊天真开心。

我觉得我们把一件很简单的事情，聊得很明白。

我也很开心。

你的故事给了我很多新的想法。

生活有时候是挺累的，

但是，解决问题的方法，可能就藏在一次出门，一阵风里。

嗯！

那我们来总结一下今天聊到的一些有意思的词吧。

好啊，你来。

我觉得今天最重要的词是“压力”。

当我们感到有“压力”的时候，可以试试去“跑步”。

嗯，跑步虽然很“累”，但是跑完步，感觉会很“舒服”。

对！

坚持下去，生活就会有很好的“变化”。

最重要的是“坚持”。

总结得很好。压力、跑步、累、舒服、变化、坚持。

这几个词，我觉得对学习中文的朋友们也很有用。

学习中文的过程，也像跑步一样。

哦？怎么说？

开始的时候很难，会觉得很累，想放弃。

但是，只要你坚持每天学一点，每天说一点，

慢慢地，你就会发现自己的进步，

那种感觉，也会像风吹过来一样舒服。

你说得太对了！

那么，听我们播客的朋友们，你们呢？

当你们觉得生活有点累，压力有点大的时候，

你们会做什么呢？

是去跑步，去听音乐，还是和朋友聊天？

欢迎大家告诉我们。

好了，今天我们的《每天中文》就到这里了。

希望我们的聊天，能给你带来一点轻松和快乐。

我们下次再见！

再见！

拜拜！
