我迫不及待来和大家分享（wǒ pò bù jí dài lái hé dà jiā fēn xiǎng）  I can't wait to share with all of you   今天我开始学开车啦（jīn tiān wǒ kāi shǐ xué kāi chē la）  Today I started learning to drive   正如上次节目里说的（zhèng rú shàng cì jié mù lǐ shuō de）  Just as I mentioned in the previous episode   我找了个陪练（wǒ zhǎo le gè péi liàn）  I found a driving instructor who accompanies learners   他在网上介绍自己是“最温柔”的教练（tā zài wǎng shàng jiè shào zì jǐ shì “zuì wēn róu” de jiào liàn）  He introduced himself online as the "gentlest" driving coach   所以我选择了他（suǒ yǐ wǒ xuǎn zé le tā）  So I chose him   现在我们找装修公司、找搬家公司、找安装师傅等等（xiàn zài wǒ men zhǎo zhuāng xiū gōng sī、zhǎo bān jiā gōng sī、zhǎo ān zhuāng shī fu děng děng）  Nowadays, when we look for decoration companies, moving companies, installation workers, and so on   都是在网上找的（dōu shì zài wǎng shàng zhǎo de）  We find them all online   可以看到别人对他的评价（kě yǐ kàn dào bié rén duì tā de píng jià）  We can see other people's reviews of them   我找了好多，都挺不错的（wǒ zhǎo le hǎo duō，dōu tǐng bù cuò de）  I found many of them, and they were all pretty good   说说今天开车的情况（shuō shuo jīn tiān kāi chē de qíng kuàng）  Let's talk about today's driving situation   一开始要上手挺害怕的（yī kāi shǐ yào shàng shǒu tǐng hài pà de）  At first, I was quite scared when I started to get the hang of it   经过两个多小时吧（jīng guò liǎng gè duō xiǎo shí ba）  After more than two hours   慢慢能到50迈了（màn màn néng dào wǔ shí mài le）  I gradually managed to drive at 50 miles per hour   转弯和变道也不太害怕了（zhuǎn wān hé biàn dào yě bù tài hài pà le）  I'm not too scared of turning and changing lanes either   开了好远好远的路（kāi le hǎo yuǎn hǎo yuǎn de lù）  I drove a very long distance   如果一直直行（rú guǒ yī zhí zhí xíng）  If it's just going straight all the time   现在是没问题了（xiàn zài shì méi wèn tí le）  There's no problem with that now   还特意走了我以后要接送孩子的路线（hái tè yì zǒu le wǒ yǐ hòu yào jiē sòng hái zi de lù xiàn）  I also deliberately took the route I will use to pick up and drop off my child in the future   也没问题呢（yě méi wèn tí ne）  And that went well too   好开心（hǎo kāi xīn）  I'm so happy   下一次就要练习停车呀这些难的项目了（xià yī cì jiù yào liàn xí tíng chē ya zhè xiē nán de xiàng mù le）  Next time, I'll have to practice difficult tasks like parking   我问陪练，下次是什么时候（wǒ wèn péi liàn，xià cì shì shén me shí hou）  I asked the instructor when the next session would be   他说看我自己的情况（tā shuō kàn wǒ zì jǐ de qíng kuàng）  He said it depends on my own situation   我确实需要休息放松一下紧张的情绪（wǒ què shí xū yào xiū xi fàng sōng yī xià jǐn zhāng de qíng xù）  I really need to rest and relax my tense mood   一共练三次吧就可以自己开啦（yī gòng liàn sān cì ba jiù kě yǐ zì jǐ kāi la）  After practicing three times in total, I should be able to drive on my own   我要成功啦！（wǒ yào chéng gōng la！）  I'm going to succeed!   我觉得这就是一个契机（wǒ jué de zhè jiù shì yī gè qì jī）  I think this is an opportunity   让我变成一个会开车的人（ràng wǒ biàn chéng yī gè huì kāi chē de rén）  to turn me into someone who can drive   所以我毫不犹豫，没有内耗（suǒ yǐ wǒ háo bù yóu yù，méi yǒu nèi hào）  So I didn't hesitate at all and didn't overthink or feel internally conflicted   该怎么做就怎么做（gāi zěn me zuò jiù zěn me zuò）  I just did what I needed to do   哦对了（ò duì le）  Oh, right   陪练是60元一小时（péi liàn shì liù shí yuán yī xiǎo shí）  The instructor charges 60 yuan per hour   每次3小时（měi cì sān xiǎo shí）  Each session is 3 hours   你们觉得这个价格怎么样？（nǐ men jué de zhè ge jià gé zěn me yàng？）  What do you think of this price?

今天我们聊聊开车  Jīntiān wǒmen liáoliáo kāichē  Today we are going to talk about driving   我是2017年学的车  Wǒ shì èr líng yī qī nián xué de chē  I learned to drive in 2017   我学习考试一直都很厉害  Wǒ xuéxí kǎoshì yìzhí dōu hěn lìhai  I've always been really good at learning and taking exams   一个月拿下驾照  Yī gè yuè náxià jiàzhào  So I got my driver's license in one month   可是八年多了，没有开过车  Kěshì bā nián duō le, méiyǒu kāiguò chē  But for more than eight years, I haven't driven a car   主要是我老公开车  Zhǔyào shì wǒ lǎogōng kāichē  Mainly because my husband drives   所以我也就不需要开车  Suǒyǐ wǒ yě jiù bù xūyào kāichē  So I don't need to drive   再说我也比较害怕  Zàishuō wǒ yě bǐjiào hàipà  Besides, I'm also quite scared of driving   我家里是一辆七座车  Wǒ jiālǐ shì yī liàng qī zuò chē  We have a seven-seater car for our family   比较大，所以停车也叫我担心  Bǐjiào dà, suǒyǐ tíngchē yě jiào wǒ dānxīn  It's quite big, so parking also makes me worried   我们大学毕业后  Wǒmen dàxué bìyè hòu  After we graduated from university   我在一家二手车公司工作  Wǒ zài yī jiā èrshǒuchē gōngsī gōngzuò  I worked at a used car company   它的模式就是复制美国的carmax  Tā de móshì jiù shì fùzhì Měiguó de Carmax  Its business model was a copy of America's Carmax   Carmax的创始人是投资人之一  Carmax de chuàngshǐrén shì tóuzīrén zhī yī  One of the investors was the founder of Carmax   虽然势头比较好  Suīrán shìtóu bǐjiào hǎo  Although it had a good momentum at first   但最后还是经营不善倒闭了  Dàn zuìhòu háishì jīngyíng bùshàn dǎobì le  In the end, it still went bankrupt due to poor management   最近几年电动车发展得很快速  Zuìjìn jǐ nián diàndòngchē fāzhǎn de hěn kuàisù  Electric cars have developed very rapidly in recent years   价格也越来越低  Jiàgé yě yuè lái yuè dī  Their prices are also getting lower and lower   侧面地导致了油车的降价  Cèmiàn de dǎozhì le yóuchē de jiàngjià  This has indirectly led to price reductions for gasoline-powered cars   中国的这些电车企业多是第一次造车  Zhōngguó de zhèxiē diànchē qǐyè duō shì dì yī cì zào chē  Most of these Chinese electric car companies are making cars for the first time   他们很疯狂地营销  Tāmen hěn fēngkuáng de yíngxiāo  They carry out very aggressive marketing   在某些城市还开始了无人驾驶的出租车  Zài mǒuxiē chéngshì hái kāishǐ le wúrén jiàshǐ de chūzūchē  In some cities, they have even launched self-driving taxis   但是我常看到电动车自燃的新闻  Dànshì wǒ cháng kàndào diàndòngchē zìrán de xīnwén  But I often see news about electric cars catching fire spontaneously  还有突然全车断电的故事  Hái yǒu túrán quánchē duàndiàn de gùshi  And stories about sudden total power failures in electric cars   所以我还是会开油车  Suǒyǐ wǒ háishì huì kāi yóuchē  So I still prefer to drive a gasoline-powered car   很快我就要面临着接送孩子的事情  Hěn kuài wǒ jiù yào miànlín zhe jiēsòng háizi de shìqing  Soon I will have to face the task of picking up and dropping off the kids   所以我马上就要学会开车了  Suǒyǐ wǒ mǎshàng jiù yào xuéhuì kāichē le  So I will learn to drive soon   我会在网上找一个陪练  Wǒ huì zài wǎngshàng zhǎo yī gè péiliàn  I will find a driving instructor online   也就是他坐在副驾驶帮助你  Yějiù shì tā zuò zài fùjiàshǐ bāngzhù nǐ  That is, someone who sits in the passenger seat to help you   还会安装一个副刹  Hái huì ānzhuāng yī gè fùshā  They will also install an auxiliary brake   也就是在副驾驶的一个刹车片  Yějiù shì zài fùjiàshǐ de yī gè shāchè piàn  Which is a brake pad located on the passenger side   据说练习几十个小时就可以熟练了  Jùshuō liànxí jǐ shí gè xiǎoshí jiù kěyǐ shúliàn le  It's said that after practicing for dozens of hours, you can become proficient  大家期待我的好消息吧  Dàjiā qīdài wǒ de hǎo xiāoxi ba  Everyone, please look forward to my good news!

今天我们来聊聊方言  Jīntiān wǒmen lái liáoliáo fāngyán  Today we are going to talk about dialects   当你学会了日常的中文  Dāng nǐ xuéhuì le rìcháng de Zhōngwén  When you have learned everyday Chinese   你满怀期待来到中国  Nǐ mǎnhuái qīdài lái dào Zhōngguó  You come to China with full expectation   发现,听不懂Fāxiàn Tīng bù dǒngOnly to find that you can't understand 有可能是因为他们说的是方言  Yǒu kěnéng shì yīnwèi tāmen shuō de shì fāngyán  It may be because they are speaking a dialect   而你只学了普通话  Ér nǐ zhǐ xué le pǔtōnghuà  But you only learned Mandarin   中国太大了  Zhōngguó tài dà le  China is too big   不同的省、市、地区有非常多不同的方言  Bùtóng de shěng, shì, dìqū yǒu fēicháng duō bùtóng de fāngyán  There are many different dialects in different provinces, cities and regions   它们的语法结构都差不多  Tāmen de yǔfǎ jiégòu dōu chàbuduō  Their grammatical structures are almost the same   而语音语调和特殊用词就很不一样  Ér yǔyīn yǔdiào hé tèshū yòngcí jiù hěn bù yīyàng  But their pronunciation, intonation and special vocabulary are quite different   所以统一普通话非常重要  Suǒyǐ tǒngyī pǔtōnghuà fēicháng zhòngyào  Therefore, unifying Mandarin is very important   不过现在大多数人都会说普通话  Búguò xiànzài dàduōshù rén dōu huì shuō pǔtōnghuà  However, most people can speak Mandarin now   在绝大多数的商业环境中  Zài juédàduōshù de shāngyè huánjìng zhōng  In most business environments   服务员也都是说普通话  Fúwùyuán yě dōu shì shuō pǔtōnghuà  Waiters also speak Mandarin   这也是因为一个城市里  Zhè yě shì yīnwèi yīgè chéngshì lǐ  This is also because in a city   有非常多来自外地的人  Yǒu fēicháng duō láizì wàidì de rén  There are many people from other places   我们目前生活在成都  Wǒmen mùqián shēnghuó zài Chéngdū  We currently live in Chengdu   但是我和我老公都不是成都人  Dànshì wǒ hé wǒ lǎogōng dōu bù shì Chéngdū rén  But neither my husband nor I are from Chengdu   我是重庆人  Wǒ shì Chóngqìng rén  I am from Chongqing   他是甘肃人  Tā shì Gānsù rén  He is from Gansu   重庆话和成都话基本一致  Chóngqìng huà hé Chéngdū huà jīběn yīzhì  Chongqing dialect and Chengdu dialect are basically the same   而甘肃话则完全不同Ér Gānsù huà zé wánquán bùtóng.While the Gansu dialect is completely different. 所以他能在这里工作生活  Suǒyǐ tā néng zài zhèlǐ gōngzuò shēnghuó  So it's true that he can work and live here   确实是不容易且很厉害的  Quèshí shì bù róngyì qiě hěn lìhai de  It is really not easy and quite impressive 北京话可能最接近于普通话  Běijīng huà kěnéng zuì jiējìn yú pǔtōnghuà  Beijing dialect may be the closest to Mandarin   但是北京话有太多的儿化音  Dànshì Běijīng huà yǒu tài duō de érhuàyīn  But Beijing dialect has too many retroflex endings (erhua)   就像英式英语说 car，而美式英语说 carJiù xiàng Yīngshì Yīngyǔ shuō car, ér Měishì Yīngyǔ shuō carJust like British English says "car", while American English says "car" 北京话的语速也很快  Běijīng huà de Yǔsù yě hěn kuài  The speaking speed of Beijing dialect is also very fast   而且有特殊的语音语调  Érqiě yǒu tèshū de yǔyīn yǔdiào  And it has a special pronunciation and intonation   我们在北京待过五年  Wǒmen zài Běijīng dāi guò wǔ nián  We lived in Beijing for five years   也留有一些北京口音  Yě liúyǒu yīxiē Běijīng kǒuyīn  And we still have a bit of Beijing accent   不同地区的方言确实会呈现出不同的人群性格  Bùtóng dìqū de fāngyán quèshí huì chéngxiàn chū bùtóng de rénqún xìnggé  Dialects from different regions do reflect the different personalities of the people there   比如北方人要粗犷一些  Bǐrú běifāng rén yào cūguǎng yīxiē  For example, people from northern China are more straightforward and bold   南方人要温柔一些  Nánfāng rén yào wēnróu yīxiē  While people from southern China are gentler   至少听起来是这样的  Zhìshǎo tīng qǐlái shì zhèyàng de  At least that's how it sounds

今天我们来讲讲中文里的量词  Jīn tiān wǒ men lái jiǎng jiang zhōng wén lǐ de liàng cí  Today we are going to talk about classifiers in Chinese   量词应该是让学中文的人最头痛的问题之一  Liàng cí yīng gāi shì ràng xué zhōng wén de rén zuì tóu tòng de wèn tí zhī yī  Classifiers are probably one of the most confusing problems for people learning Chinese   今天我不想告诉大家什么东西用什么量词  Jīn tiān wǒ bù xiǎng gào su dà jiā shén me dōng xi yòng shén me liàng cí  Today, I don’t want to tell everyone which classifier to use for which thing   大家自己查字典就行了  Dà jiā zì jǐ chá zì diǎn jiù xíng le  Everyone can just look it up in the dictionary yourselves   我想说的是  Wǒ xiǎng shuō de shì  What I want to say is   不要害怕  Bù yào hài pà  Don’t be afraid   所有的东西都可以用一个来表达  Suǒ yǒu de dōng xi dōu kě yǐ yòng yī gè lái biǎo dá  You can use "一个 (yī gè, a/one)" to express all things   在北京话里面  Zài běi jīng huà lǐ miàn  In Beijing dialect   常常只用“一”来表达  Cháng cháng zhǐ yòng "yī" lái biǎo dá  People often only use "一 (yī, one)" to express   类似于英语里的a  Lèi sì yú yīng yǔ lǐ de a  Similar to "a" in English   比如：这是一兔子  Bǐ rú: Zhè shì yī tù zi  For example: This is a rabbit (in Beijing dialect)   普通话就是：这是一个兔子  Pǔ tōng huà jiù shì: Zhè shì yī gè tù zi  In Mandarin, it would be: This is a rabbit   这是一只兔子  Zhè shì yī zhī tù zi  This is a rabbit (the standard classifier "只 (zhī)" for small animals)   不用担心  Bù yòng dān xīn  Don’t worry   语言是拿来运用的  Yǔ yán shì ná lái yùn yòng de  Language is for practical use   只要大家能听懂就行  Zhǐ yào dà jiā néng tīng dǒng jiù xíng  As long as everyone can understand, that’s enough   有些人需要考试  Yǒu xiē rén xū yào kǎo shì  Some people need to take exams   那么我们轻松愉快地去记一些量词就行  Nà me wǒ men qīng sōng yú kuài de qù jì yī xiē liàng cí jiù xíng  Then we can memorize some classifiers in a relaxed and pleasant way   你们猜中国人是怎么记住那么多的量词的  Nǐ men cāi zhōng guó rén shì zěn me jì zhù nà me duō de liàng cí de  Guess how Chinese people remember so many classifiers   答案是：重复  Dá àn shì: Chóng fù  The answer is: Repetition   重复到已经成为了习惯  Chóng fù dào yǐ jīng chéng wéi le xí guàn  Repeat until it becomes a habit   我们根本不知道自己在说什么  Wǒ men gēn běn bù zhī dào zì jǐ zài shuō shén me  We don’t even know what we are saying   就这样从嘴巴里吐出去了  Jiù zhè yàng cóng zuǐ ba lǐ tǔ chū qù le  It just comes out of our mouths like that   我们也常常只用“个”来表示  Wǒ men yě cháng cháng zhǐ yòng "gè" lái biǎo shì  We also often only use "个 (gè)" to express  一个马  Yī gè mǎ  A horse (using "个" instead of the standard "匹 (pǐ)")   一个纸  Yī gè zhǐ  A piece of paper (using "个" instead of the standard "张 (zhāng)")   都可以的  Dōu kě yǐ de  All of these are acceptable   像我的孩子们学说话  Xiàng wǒ de hái zi men xué shuō huà  Like when my children were learning to speak   他们说什么我都鼓励  Tā men shuō shén me wǒ dōu gǔ lì  I encouraged them no matter what they said   不需要必须纠正他们的错误  Bù xū yào bì xū jiū zhèng tā men de cuò wù  There’s no need to necessarily  correct their mistakes   如果下次你说“一个门”  Rú guǒ xià cì nǐ shuō "yī gè mén"  Next time if you say "a door"   别人非要纠正你说“是一扇门”  Bié rén fēi yào jiū zhèng nǐ shuō "shì yī shàn mén"  And someone insists on correcting you, saying "It’s 一扇门"   那你可以说  Nà nǐ kě yǐ shuō  Then you can say   我知道，但是我就想说一个门  Wǒ zhī dào, dàn shì wǒ jiù xiǎng shuō yī gè mén  I know, but I just want to say "a door"   当一个北京人说“那儿有一门”  Dāng yī gè běi jīng rén shuō "nà er yǒu yī mén"  When a Beijinger says "There’s a door over there" (using "一" directly in Beijing dialect)   我不相信有人会去纠正他说  Wǒ bù xiāng xìn yǒu rén huì qù jiū zhèng tā shuō  I don’t believe anyone would correct him by saying   你应该说那里有一扇门  Nǐ yīng gāi shuō nà lǐ yǒu yī shàn mén  You should say "There is 一扇门 over there" 好了，我希望大家开心学中文  Hǎo le, wǒ xī wàng dà jiā kāi xīn xué zhōng wén  Okay, I hope everyone learns Chinese happily   不要被这些教条主义束缚  Bù yào bèi zhè xiē jiào tiáo zhǔ yì shù fù  Don’t be constrained by these dogmatic rules

今天我想说说消费主义  Jīn tiān wǒ xiǎng shuō shuo xiāo fèi zhǔ yì  Today I want to talk about consumerism   随着人类的发展  Suí zhe rén lèi de fā zhǎn  With the development of humanity   我们现在增加了好多的节日  Wǒ men xiàn zài zēng jiā le hǎo duō de jié rì  We have added a lot of festivals now   似乎快把一年365天占满了  Sì hū kuài bǎ yī nián sān bǎi liù shí wǔ tiān zhàn mǎn le  It seems like they are almost filling up all 365 days of the year   这些节日又被商家们利用起来  Zhè xiē jié rì yòu bèi shāng jiā men lì yòng qǐ lái  These festivals are then used by merchants   在每一个节日都催促我们消费  Zài měi yī gè jié rì dōu cuī cù wǒ men xiāo fèi  Urging us to consume during every festival   每个电商都做了节日海报  Měi gè diàn shāng dōu zuò le jié rì hǎi bào  Every e-commerce platform has made festival posters   每个商场都做了节日装饰  Měi gè shāng chǎng dōu zuò le jié rì zhuāng shì  Every shopping mall has put up festival decorations   它们传递的氛围是那么的开心、兴奋  Tā men chuán dì de fēn wéi shì nà me de kāi xīn 、xīng fèn  The atmosphere they convey is so joyful and exciting   买吧买吧  Mǎi ba mǎi ba  Buy, buy   其实我现在消费欲望比较低  Qí shí wǒ xiàn zài xiāo fèi yù wàng bǐ jiào dī  In fact, my desire to consume is relatively low now   也也许是因为赚钱不易吧  Yě yě xǔ shì yīn wèi zhuàn qián bù yì ba  Maybe it's because making money is not easy   越来越多的人也意识到了消费主义陷阱  Yuè lái yuè duō de rén yě yì shí dào le xiāo fèi zhǔ yì xiàn jǐng  More and more people have also realized the trap of consumerism   前几年经济好的时候  Qián jǐ nián jīng jì hǎo de shí hou  A few years ago when the economy was good   网上常常鼓吹消费升级  Wǎng shàng cháng cháng gǔ chuī xiāo fèi shēng jí  It’s often advocated  [ ˈadvəkeɪt] online that people should upgrade their consumption   也就是说你的生活品质要升级  Yě jiù shì shuō nǐ de shēng huó pǐn zhì yào shēng jí  That is to say, your quality of life needs to be upgraded   要买更好的东西  Yào mǎi gèng hǎo de dōng xī  You need to buy better things   这些年经济很差  Zhè xiē nián jīng jì hěn chà  In recent years, the economy has been very poor   就没见到说消费升级了  Jiù méi jiàn dào shuō xiāo fèi shēng jí le  We no longer hear talk about consumption upgrading   我身边有一些人和家庭  Wǒ shēn biān yǒu yī xiē rén hé jiā tíng  There are some people and families around me   属于消费主义  Shǔ yú xiāo fèi zhǔ yì  Who are part of consumerism   他们随意花钱，从不考虑储蓄  Tā men suí yì huā qián ，cóng bù kǎo lǜ chǔ xù  They spend money casually and never consider saving   遇到急需用钱的时候  Yù dào jí xū yòng qián de shí hou  When they encounter a situation where they urgently need money   就找别人借  Jiù zhǎo bié rén jiè  They borrow from others   反正自己当下花钱很愉快  Fǎn zhèng zì jǐ dāng xià huā qián hěn yú kuài  Anyway, they feel happy spending money at the moment   我和我的先生都是花钱比较谨慎的人  Wǒ hé wǒ de xiān sheng dōu shì huā qián bǐ jiào jǐn shèn de rén  My husband and I are both people who spend money cautiously   因为我们懂得开源节流的重要性  Yīn wèi wǒ men dǒng de kāi yuán jié liú de zhòng yào xìng  Because we understand the importance of increasing income and reducing expenses   正是这样，我们才能从二手破自行车  Zhèng shì zhè yàng ，wǒ men cái néng cóng èr shǒu pò zì xíng chē  It is precisely [prɪˈsaɪsli] because of this that we were able to go from a second-hand broken bicycle   换到二手汽车  Huàn dào èr shǒu qì chē  To a second-hand car   再换到标致新车  Zài huàn dào Biāo zhì xīn chē  Then to a new Peugeot   再换到奔驰新车  Zài huàn dào Bēn chí xīn chē  Then to a new Mercedes-Benz  /məˈseɪdiːz bɛnts/ 从合租房，到整租房  Cóng hé zū fáng ，dào zhěng zū fáng  From a shared rental house to an entire rental house   再到买小房子  Zài dào mǎi xiǎo fáng zi  Then to buying a small house   再到买大房子  Zài dào mǎi dà fáng zi  Then to buying a big house   再到买投资型房产  Zài dào mǎi tóu zī xíng fáng chǎn  Then to buying investment properties   再到买学区大房子  Zài dào mǎi xué qū dà fáng zi  Then to buying a big house in a school district   我觉得储蓄和消费是一个平衡问题  Wǒ jué de chǔ xù hé xiāo fèi shì yī gè píng héng wèn tí  I think saving and consumption is a matter of balance

今天，我去宜家提货宜家离我住的地方不算远但也不算近我要坐地铁去那里宜家在我在的城市成都开了两家店，一个在南边，一个在北边我今天来到南边的这个宜家商场它的整个商场的设计呀，布局呀都非常标准化Vi就是蓝色和黄色特别的显眼包括里面的很多商品这么多年都没有改变上次我来这里看到一个小沙发很不错，我就买了，可是工作人员说没有现货他从仓库调货过来所以今天我拿着这个订单来取货。这一段声音是一个跑腿在帮客户取货跑腿就是一种服务人员，我们可以在手机上下单。需要任何的跑腿服务都可以，比如说你想他帮你去买药，或者他帮你去取快递，或者像这样他帮你到宜家去取家具我把订单的单子给到工作人员他查询了一下。然后到仓库里去给我拿货这个沙发看起来小小的是铁艺的但是也不算轻，所以我在自助包装处打包了一下，方便我提着走在宜家商场的外面会停着一些出租车因为他们知道会有很多顾客买的东西太重了需要马上打一个车回家我也是打了一个出租车回家我想全世界的宜家店都长得差不多，里面的东西也差不多这里的冰淇淋仍然是1块钱一个但是我们知道它的原料其实不是很健康这里面吃的东西我们也觉得不太好吃现在宜家也参加了国补，国补就是国家补贴，因为最近几年经济环境都不太好国家为了促进消费就提供了一些补贴但是他不是直接发钱而是你消费买家电家具就会给你补贴15%左右的费用，那这个钱是商家收到款之后再拿着发票去申请补贴消费者是马上就能得到15%左右的优惠这个南边的宜家商场在成都好像已经十几年了吧旁边还有迪卡侬其实在中国的大城市最火热的外国商场应该算是山姆吧我们以后可以再讲一讲山姆

今天我们来聊聊坐地铁jīn tiān wǒ men lái liáo liáo zuò dì tiěToday, let's talk about taking the subway.在中国的大城市，这些年修建的地铁都非常好zài zhōng guó de dà chéng shì ，zhè xiē nián xiū jiàn de dì tiě dōu fēi cháng hǎoIn big cities in China, the subways built in recent years are all very good.宽大，明亮，安全，便捷kuān dà ，míng liàng ，ān quán ，biàn jiéThey are spacious, bright, safe and convenient.我们在地铁站入口，wǒ men zài dì tiě zhàn rù kǒu ，We are at the entrance of the subway station.通过电梯进入地铁内部tōng guò diàn tī jìn rù dì tiě nèi bùEnter the interior of the subway through the elevator.然后，通常要走一段路，才能到安检口rán hòu ，tōng cháng yào zǒu yī duàn lù ，cái néng dào ān jiǎn kǒuThen, usually, we need to walk a certain distance to reach the security checkpoint.我们把包包放到安检机上wǒ men bǎ bāo bāo fàng dào ān jiǎn jī shàngWe put our bags on the security inspection machine.如果有液体，工作人员会请你拿出来检查一下rú guǒ yǒu yè tǐ ，gōng zuò rén yuán huì qǐng nǐ ná chū lái jiǎn chá yī xiàIf there is liquid, the staff will ask you to take it out for inspection.其实，在2008年以前是没有地铁安检的qí shí ，zài 2008 nián yǐ qián shì méi yǒu dì tiě ān jiǎn deIn fact, there was no subway security inspection before 2008.2008年，北京地铁站开始设置安检口2008 nián ，běi jīng dì tiě zhàn kāi shǐ shè zhì ān jiǎn kǒuIn 2008, security checkpoints began to be set up in Beijing subway stations.此后，全国的地铁站都开始安检了cǐ hòu ，quán guó de dì tiě zhàn dōu kāi shǐ ān jiǎn leSince then, security inspections have started in subway stations across the country.这个问题其实会有多个角度的解读zhè gè wèn tí qí shí huì yǒu duō gè jiǎo dù de jiě dúIn fact, this issue can be interpreted from multiple perspectives.有好的一面，也有不好的一面yǒu hǎo de yī miàn ，yě yǒu bù hǎo de yī miànThere are both good aspects and bad aspects.在这里我们就不讨论了zài zhè lǐ wǒ men jiù bù tǎo lùn leWe won't discuss it here.以前我们会刷公共交通卡进站，yǐ qián wǒ men huì shuā gōng gòng jiāo tōng kǎ jìn zhàn ，In the past, we would swipe the public transportation card to enter the station.或者买临时地铁卡huò zhě mǎi lín shí dì tiě kǎOr buy a temporary subway card.但这些年，中国的电子支付非常发达dàn zhè xiē nián ，zhōng guó de diàn zǐ zhī fù fēi cháng fā dáBut in recent years, electronic payment in China has been very developed.大部分人都是用手机扫码进站，dà bù fèn rén dōu shì yòng shǒu jī sǎo mǎ jìn zhàn ，Most people scan the code with their mobile phones to enter the station.或者人脸识别进站huò zhě rén liàn shí bié jìn zhànOr enter the station through face recognition.电子支付在中国非常非常发达，diàn zǐ zhī fù zài zhōng guó fēi cháng fēi cháng fā dá ，Electronic payment is extremely developed in China.我们以后可以聊一聊wǒ men yǐ hòu kě yǐ liáo yī liáoWe can talk about it later.地铁站里是很宽敞和干净的dì tiě zhàn lǐ shì hěn kuān chǎng hé gān jìng deInside the subway station is very spacious and clean.还有等待的长凳和卫生间hái yǒu děng dài de cháng dèng hé wèi shēng jiānThere are also waiting benches and restrooms.指示系统也设计得很清晰zhǐ shì xì tǒng yě shè jì de hěn qīng xīThe signage system is also designed very clearly.地铁车厢里面也很干净dì tiě chē xiāng lǐ miàn yě hěn gān jìngThe subway carriages are also very clean.基本没有人在车厢里面吃东西jī běn méi yǒu rén zài chē xiāng lǐ miàn chī dōng xīBasically, no one eats in the carriages.有安保人员来回巡视，yǒu ān bǎo rén yuán lái huí xún shì ，There are security personnel patrolling back and forth.处理一些不文明的行为，chǔ lǐ yī xiē bù wén míng de xíng wéi ，They deal with some uncivilized behaviors.以及帮助需要帮助的人yǐ jí bāng zhù xū yào bāng zhù de rénAnd help those in need.我在的城市是成都wǒ zài de chéng shì shì chéng dūThe city I'm in is Chengdu.这里的地铁线已经有约20条zhè lǐ de dì tiě xiàn yǐ jīng yǒu yuē 20 tiáoThere are already about 20 subway lines here.线路之间相互换乘很方便xiàn lù zhī jiān xiāng hù huàn chéng hěn fāng biànIt's very convenient to transfer between lines.希望你能来体验中国的地铁xī wàng nǐ néng lái tǐ yàn zhōng guó de dì tiěI hope you can come and experience the subways in China.
