During a date, Yu Qing and her date talk about zodiac signs. While neither of them truly believes in astrology, they agree it’s a useful icebreaker. They discuss how relying too much on zodiac labels can oversimplify people and limit personal growth. —————————————————————————————————约会对象：你相信星座吗？你是什么座的？雨晴：哈哈哈，你相信吗？我半信半疑吧。不全信。我是狮子座。约会对象：真的吗？我听说狮子座的人很爱表现，很自信。嗯, 不太像你。雨晴：是吗？那不是很准，对吧。有些性格是后天形成的，不全是由星座决定的。不过，我的一个朋友就非常信星座，去约会也要先问约会对象是什么星座，然后查看他们的星座合不合。哈哈哈。你不会跟我朋友一样吧？约会对象：嗯，我其实也不是很信。不过这个是一个不错的聊天话题，哈哈哈。用这个话题来破冰挺好的。而且，如果一个人很信星座的话，容易给自己和他人贴标签。比如：“啊，我是这个星座的，所以我就是这样的人，改不了。”还有刚刚你说你的那个朋友，约会前看星座合不合适再决定去不去赴约的就有点极端了。毕竟，像你说的，性格还是可以改变的。雨晴：嗯，是。我同意。所以……你是什么星座的呢？约会对象：我是金牛座。一般说这个星座的人很踏实，能吃苦，不太爱表达。雨晴：是你吗？约会对象：我觉得挺符合我现在的状态的。不过，这可能是巧合。—————————————————————————————————If you’re enjoying this story, there’s so much more waiting for you inside maayot:✅ Daily bite-sized stories that suit your level✅ native audio✅ Interactions with native for practice your speaking✅ One tap Pinyin, explain in context for words and sentences✅ Writing and speaking exercises with real person feedback✅ Track your learning streakNot using these features yet?

如果你想更深入地了解这些和生活紧密相关的中文表达，一个很好的方法就是每天读一个中文故事。加入maayot吧！我们每天都会给你发送一个适合你水平的中文阅读， 无论是文章类故事，或是对话类故事。阅读里，无论是故事内容，还是文化场景，都会和我们的生活息息相关。而且，不仅仅是阅读，你同时能练习你的听说，和写作。你还能和老师互动，得到即时反馈，就像身边有一个24小时的中文教师。🪭⭐️别忘了，在注册时输入“podcast”，还可以享受五折优惠哦！⭐️☯︎maayot 故事原文：如果你有中国朋友，你一定会发现他们很重视“养生”。养生不仅是为了延年益寿，更是一种生活哲学。中国人讲究“预防为主”，所以比起生病才去看医生，他们更注重日常保养。 比如，喝热水就是最典型的例子。无论春夏秋冬，中国人几乎每人都喜欢喝温热的水。年轻人可能在办公室放一个保温杯，泡一些红枣、枸杞，或者冲泡概念茶、中药饮品。老一辈的人冬天则习惯白开水或姜茶来暖身；夏天则煮绿豆汤或泡菊花茶降火。 除了饮品，中国人的食物也讲究养生。冬天喜欢吃羊肉火锅、牛骨汤、红枣桂圆茶等温补食物；秋天注重润燥养肺，会煲鸡汤加枸杞、百合、红枣，北方人还吃苹果、葡萄、南瓜来润肠；春天多吃芽菜、豆类、清淡汤水养肝生发；夏天则爱喝绿豆汤、西瓜汁、吃苦瓜和凉拌菜降火解暑。不同季节吃不同食物，既满足味蕾，也符合养生之道。 这种根据季节选择食物的习惯，在中国被称为“顺应四季”，体现了人们对养生的细致理解。除了饮食习惯， 周末或者晚上，你可能会看到很多人去公园散步，跳广场舞、打太极或练气功，这些活动不仅锻炼身体，也能让人放松心情。所以，如果你留意，就会发现养生已经融入中国人的日常生活。下次见！
