Day 22: What activities do you most enjoy doing?

第二十二天：你最喜欢从事什么样的活动呢？

Hi, you're listening to Fly with Lily. I'm your new friend Sarah. I'm from Germany. I'm in Chiang Mai right now because I love Thailand and Thai food and the tropical weather. I'm a contractor for a German insurance company, and in my free time, I enjoy doing yoga, and I meditate, and I love hosting people and just have people around me. My dream is to have a co-working space again. Today I'm asked a question by Lily. What activities do you most enjoy doing? Yeah, so the activities I most enjoy doing is actually hosting dinner parties,

你好，你正在收听《學英語環遊世界》。我是你的新朋友莎拉。我来自德国。我现在身处清迈，因为我喜欢泰国、泰国美食和热带的气候。我是一家德国保险公司的承包商，业余时间里，我喜欢做瑜伽，冥想，还喜欢招待人，让身边有更多的朋友。我的梦想是再次拥有一个共享工作空间。今天，莉莉问了我一个问题，那就是你最喜欢做的活动是什么？是的，我最喜欢做的活动实际上是主持晚餐派对。

Because first, I don't think I'm a great chef, but it is not so much about the food or it is not so much about how you set up the table or how much time you spend preparing or have everything looking instagrammable. It is more like inviting people over a meal and sharing a meal, because everyone eats at least once a day. So this is something everyone would give you a yes. And even if you're not great in cooking, dinner parties can also be set up at potlucks, so people just bring their own little dishes, and then you share a meal together. And when you combine this with a little bit of maybe questions or just maybe even a theme or something, it's a great opportunity to serve community and to get to know new people. You can make new people easy. You can strengthen and maintain the relationships you have with friends and family. People can even bring other people so you can expand the community you have. So, yeah, I think hosting dinner parties is a fun way to be social in a healthy way. Yes, that's it. Thanks for listening.

因为首先，我不认为自己是一位出色的厨师，但这并不太关乎食物，也不太关乎如何摆设桌子，或者你花多少时间准备，或者是否让一切看起来像是可在Instagram上分享的。更多的是邀请人们共进一顿饭，分享一顿饭，因为每个人至少每天都要吃一次饭。这是每个人都会答应的事情。即使你不擅长烹饪，晚餐派对也可以搞成聚餐，每个人带自己的小菜，然后大家一起分享一顿饭。当你将这与一些问题、主题或其他东西结合在一起时，这是一个服务社群、结交新朋友的绝佳机会。你可以轻松结交新的朋友，巩固和维护与朋友和家人的关系。人们甚至可以带来其他人，这样你就可以扩大你的社群。所以，是的，我认为主持晚餐派对是以一种健康的方式社交的有趣方式。就是这样。感谢你的聆听。

今日感想：

在这个看似美好却又充满混乱的旅程中，我深刻体悟到一种内心的沉静，它超越了外在的表象，成为我珍视的宝藏。

生活的旅途中，我常常感受到绝望的阴影，尤其是在收入不稳定、孤独漂泊的时候。然而，这些挑战并不是生命的终结，而是成长的契机。在这片看似荒芜的土地上，我找到了内在的富足。

拥有稳定的收入和心仪的对象固然是幸运，但我发现，真正的安宁来自于对内心的慎独。在生活的喧哗声中，我学会了专注聆听内在的声音，理解那份对自我的深刻渴望。

或许我无法总是站在经济安全的高地，或者拥有一段稳定的感情。但这并不代表我缺少价值。透过独处的时光，我找到了属于自己的节奏，学会了与孤独为伍，并将其转化为灵感的源泉。

我想告诉听众，外在的表象并不总是生活的全部。尽管我曾经感受到绝望和想要逃离的冲动，但我也因此发现了内心的强大和平静。这是一段探索内在自我的旅程，不论身处何方，都能够找到属于自己的宁静之地。

让我们一同体悟生命的奥秘，学会珍惜当下，并在内心找到一片安宁的天地。或许，正是这份沉静，让我们能够在混沌中找到生活的真正价值。
