That's right.
那今天我们要聊什么呢?
So what are we talking about today?
哦,今天我们要聊的是爱情。
Oh, well, today, we are talking about love.
没错。
That's right.
是个大话题。
Big topic.
对吧?
Right?
当你想到‘爱’这个词的时候,你脑子里会浮现什么?
What what comes to your mind when you when you have that word in your head, love?
我会想到大大的心形,还有情人节。
I think of big hearts, and I do think of Valentine's Day.
我脑子里总会冒出一些卡通画面,你知道的,就是那种感觉。
I guess I just get this, like, you know, these, like, cartoons in my head.
按理说,我该想想我爱的人,但不知为什么,一听到‘爱’字,我就只想到巨大的心形。
I whether I mean, maybe I should be thinking of the people I love, but for some reason, just hearing it, like, evokes these, like, images of giant hearts.
哦,我喜欢这个说法。
Oh, I love it.
我也特别喜欢这个说法。
I love it.
我也是这样。
And so do I do.
对我来说,也有那么一点吧。
I guess for me too, a little bit of that.
情人节的广告里,那些红色的心形图案,还有我特别喜欢的——上面印着字的小糖果。
A lot of the Valentine's, the the ads, the red heart, the pictures, or also what I really love is the little candies with the messages on them.
哦,太棒了。
Oh, yay yay.
你喜欢那种糖果吗?
You like those?
我超爱那种。
I love those.
那种特别有意思。
Those are so fun.
任何糖果我都很喜欢,这不用说。
Any kind of candy I enjoy, of course.
但我就是特别喜欢。
But I love it.
所以,朋友们,今天我们要从几个不同的角度,和大家聊聊爱这个话题。
So, guys, today, we're talking about love from a few different angles for our listeners.
米歇尔,你有没有在国外谈过恋爱?
Mean, Michelle, have you ever had a romance abroad?
我的意思是,咱们来点劲爆的吧。
I mean, that's let's get a little juicy here.
你当年在伦敦留学的时候,有没有爱上过谁?
Did you fall in love while you were while you were studying in London?
没有。
No.
没错,没有。
But that, No.
我确实在国外有过几段恋情,但说不上是爱上谁,不过我确实有过几段国外的恋情。
But I have had some I have had some romances abroad, but I wouldn't say I fell in love, but I I I I have had some romances abroad.
明白了。
Okay.
好的。
Okay.
藏在心里?
Keep in you?
当然了。
Oh, of course.
是的。
Yeah.
我确实在国外有过几次恋爱经历。
I absolutely did have a romance abroad a few times.
你知道吗,和一个外国人在异国他乡约会特别有意思,尤其是当你住在那个国家的时候,感觉特别浪漫。
I and it's fun, you know, when we're dating someone from another country, especially if we're living in that other country, it's very exotic.
特别神秘。
It's very mysterious.
对吧?
Right?
因为这个人有着完全不同的生活习惯和文化背景,说的也是另一种语言。
Because this person follows all these other norms and different culture, different language.
口音特别有魅力。
The accent is very sexy.
其实跟外国人谈恋爱真的挺有意思的。
It's it's really fun, actually, to date abroad.
你怎么看?
What do you think?
确实挺有意思的。
It is fun.
在国外谈恋爱确实挺有意思的。
It is fun to date abroad.
那是一种不一样的体验,而且确实如此。
It's it's a different experience and yeah.
我是说
I mean
这也是学习一门新语言的好方法。
It's also a good way to learn a new language.
确实如此。
That's true.
我以前和一个说西班牙语的人交往,我们俩平时都用西班牙语交流。
I was dating someone who was speaking Spanish, and we spoke Spanish together.
这确实让我学得快多了。
It definitely helped me learn faster.
那米歇尔呢?
Well, what about Michelle?
你住在伦敦的时候,有没有爱上那个地方?不是爱上某个人,而是爱上那种文化——英国文化或者伦敦的文化?我觉得这两者应该不太一样。
When you lived in London, did you fall in love, not with a person, but did you fall in love with the culture, the British culture or London culture, which I bet is kinda different from British culture?
对。
Yeah.
我觉得,只要我去一个地方待上一阵子,就会爱上那里。
Well, I think I think I fall in love every time I spend time somewhere.
我的意思是,只要我在一个地方待上几周以上,就一定会爱上它。
I mean, like, I definitely like, I'm if I'm spending more than a couple weeks in a place, like, I definitely fall in love.
其实,还不用待上几天呢。
Actually, even more than a couple days.
就是啊。
Like Yeah.
我特别容易对一个地方产生感情。
It's very easy for me, easy for me to fall in love with a place.
因为我本来就爱旅行,特别喜欢去了解新的地方。
I mean, I've I because I just love travel, and I, like, I love just learning about a new place.
我确实深深爱上了伦敦和那里的文化。
And, yeah, I I definitely fell in love with London and the culture.
自从我搬走后,我每次回伦敦都会这样。
And there's you know, whenever I go I have been back to London since I lived there.
每次一回去,那种感觉就又回来了,你知道吧?
And whenever it like like, I I have those feelings, you know?
真有意思。
Interesting.
我特别喜欢,一回去就特别怀旧,心里有种很深的情感联结,那种感觉真的很强烈。
I love it, and I, you know, I'm very nostalgic for it, and I I I feel very strongly for it, like a very deep emotional connection when I go back to a place that I've traveled to before.
你呢?
What about you?
我喜欢这个说法。
Oh, I like that.
我经常去国外。
Abroad a lot.
我住过不少国外的地方,但突然想到一个特别有意思的词,其实更像一个说法。
I've lived abroad a lot, but I wanna teach our listeners a very cool word that just came to my head, more of a phrase.
这么说吧,米歇尔,伦敦是不是让你一见倾心?
So is it fair to say, Michelle, that London swept you off your feet?
哦。
Oh.
真的让你一见倾心?
It swept you off your feet?
这么说合适吗?
What would you It is fair to say that.
对。
Yeah.
也就是说,你字面意思上理解一下。
So that means basically it I mean, think of that literally.
对吧?
Right?
就像一下子把人抱起来一样。
Like, it's like scooping someone up.
你就是特别喜欢,觉得太棒了。
It's like you were so like, oh, I love it.
对吧?
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
各位,今天这个表达特别实用。
Guys, this is a great bonus phrase for today.
现在就拿纸笔把这个记下来。
So write this one down right now with a paper and pencil.
记下来:被彻底迷住。
Write it down to be swept off your feet.
当我们说一个人让我们一见倾心的时候,就可以用这个表达。
So we can use this when we talk about a person sweeping us off our feet if we fall in love with a person.
不过在你的情况里,我是用它来轻松地形容——这座城市让你一见倾心。
But in your case, I use that in kind of a fun way, right, which is saying the city swept you off your feet.
对吧?
Right?
没错。
Right.
有时候,也可能是某种食物让我欲罢不能。
Or sometimes, you know, it could be a food that sweeps me off
我的脚。
my feet.
更棒了。
Even better.
简直太棒了。
Even better.
当然了。
For sure.
对我来说,东京绝对是让我一见倾心。
For me, Tokyo, I definitely Yep.
哦,没错。
I oh, yeah.
你也去过日本吧。
And you've been to Japan too.
我知道,米歇尔。
I know, Michelle.
我真的很爱日本。
I'm definitely in love with Japan.
我确实很爱,只是没在那里住过。
I'm definite and I didn't live there.
所以我觉得,你肯定在那里待了一段时间,体验挺深的。
So, like, I can imagine that you I mean, you spent some quality time there.
我那次只是去日本度假,结果就已经彻底爱上它了。
I was just there on one vacation, and I'm already, like, totally enamored with Japan.
我爱死了。
I'm in love with it.
没错。
So yeah.
确实很棒。
It's so great.
每次我和朋友,或者这里认识的热爱旅行的人聊天,大家都对日本特别兴奋。
And every time I have conversations with my friends or people I meet over here that love travel, everyone is so excited about Japan.
他们就是想去那里旅行。
They just they wanna travel there.
他们想去。
They wanna go.
他们想亲身体验一下。
They wanna experience it.
对美国人来说,日本是个神秘的地方,他们 definitely 想去体验一番。
It's this mysterious place to people in The US, and they wanna go and experience it for sure.
我也被阿根廷深深吸引了。
And I was also kinda swept off my feet by Argentina.
对啊。
Yeah.
还有乌拉圭。
Would say Uruguay.
这些国家都有动听的口音、优美的传统,比如探戈舞蹈,还有美食、美酒,生活方式也特别惬意。
These are just con countries with beautiful accents, beautiful traditions, the dance, the tango, I mean, the food, the wine, just nice lifestyles in these countries.
哦,是啊。
Oh, yeah.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
对。
Yeah.
光是听我们这么聊,我就已经感受到那种氛围了。
I'm feeling it already just with this conversation.
我的意思是,这对我们的听众来说真的很重要。
I mean, I think it's really important for our listeners.
如果你住在美、英或者澳大利亚,你得想办法爱上你所在的地方,因为这才是生活的奇妙之处。
You know, if you guys are living in The US or The UK or Australia, you need to find a way to fall in love with where you are because that's kind of the magic of life.
我们总得对某处、对生活的某个方面产生爱意。
There has to be an aspect of being in love with something or some aspect of where we are.
对吧,米歇尔?
Right, Michelle?
你觉得怎么样?
What do you think about that?
不然的话,生活可能会变得特别平淡,我觉得。
Otherwise, life can get a little just plain, I think.
我觉得你得找点什么,说不上来。
I think you need to find I don't know.
就是,找到那种感觉,对。
Like, a find yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
找点小东西爱上它就行,我不是说每天都要这样,但越频繁越好。
Find a way to just fall in love with a little bit of something, like I mean, to say every day is maybe ridiculous, but, like, as often as possible.
对每个人来说,这可能意味着不同的东西。
And, I mean, that can mean something different for everybody.
我们说‘爱上’,也不是非得是多大的事,而是那些让你觉得可爱、能跟你产生共鸣的小细节,能带给你那种感觉就行。
I mean, when we say fall in love, I I mean, it doesn't have to be, like, the biggest thing ever, but things that you find charming or that you connect with her just give you that feeling.
如果你现在能看到我,我就是那种‘哦’的样子。
If you guys could see me right now, it's like that, oh.
是的。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
对吧?
Right?
这话说得对。
That's a good point.
不一定要搞成那种惊天动地的大事,比如扑通跪下,发誓永远爱这座城市,然后搬过去不走了。
It doesn't have to be this huge thing where you fall on the ground and you declare your love for the city forever and you move there permanently.
你再也不回去了。
You're never going home.
对吧?
Right?
不是在地上。
It's not the ground.
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
重点不在于非得彻底融入当地,变成地道的本地人。
It's not about that whole going native thing where we have to become a local.
不是。
No.
关键是整天里能有很多让你心生喜爱的瞬间。
It's more like you wanna have a lot of moments of being kind of enamored throughout the day.
那种由衷的惊叹。
Kind of in awe.
对吧?
Right?
你希望营造出这种惊叹的感觉。
You wanna create that sense of awe.
我特别喜欢这一点。
I love that.
我刚才说的是什么来着,米歇尔?
How what am I saying here, Michelle?
惊叹。
Awe.
就是感到震撼,说白了就是这样。
To be, amazed, basically.
我得说一下,我跟你讲,我们在日本的时候,不管去哪个地方,尤其是东京。
And and I have to say and I'll tell you about this about so when when we were in Japan, I would say in in each place in Japan, and I I'm thinking about, like, Tokyo, especially.
我们散步的时候,有时候简直说不出话来。
So when we we would be walking around, and we would we were speechless sometimes.
真的,我和丹就只是摇着头,互相看着对方。
Like, really And Dan and I would just be, like, shaking our heads and looking at each other.
我们还开玩笑,因为别人读不懂我们的想法。
And we were joking because it we were saying, like because people couldn't read our minds.
我们对一切都感到震撼。
We were just so in awe of everything.
我们开玩笑说,要是别人看到我们的表情,大概会以为我们很反感,毕竟我们一直在摇头,脸上还带着一种怪异的表情。
And we were joking that, like, if people saw our face is that they would probably think we're, like, disgusted because we were just, like, shaking our heads and, like, almost, like, this, like, weird face.
但那是因为我们太受触动了,简直不敢相信。
But it was just because we were so moved and, like, oh my god.
这太棒了。
This is amazing.
而且呢,
And, like,
我们脸上就是那种表情,
we had this look on our
我走路的时候一直在摇头,心里一直想:天哪。
face just, I just I mean, I literally walked through just constantly shaking my head because I was like, oh my gosh.
是的
Yep.
我刚刚起了一身鸡皮疙瘩,因为你描述的我完全懂。
I got chills just now because I know exactly what you're talking about.
但具体是哪种情境呢?
But what specific context?
是在日本花园里吗?
Were these in Japanese gardens?
是在一家有美食展示的餐厅?
Was it at a restaurant with a food presentation?
你们当时在哪些地方,才会产生这样的感受?
What what kinds of places were you at that made you feel that way?
我觉得方方面面都有,但特别是一些街区。
I I mean, I would say all of it, but, like, a certain neighborhoods.
对
Yeah.
你知道吗,看到一切都那么庞大,因为我一直觉得纽约特别大、特别酷、特别现代,但真正亲眼看到时,才发现纽约原来完全不一样。
You know, just, seeing how big everything was because to me, like, I always felt like New York was so big and cool and modern, and that's just seeing, like it was like, oh, New York is, like, you know, so different.
所以每次我们去一个新的街区,脸上都会露出那种表情。
And, like so I would say every time we visited a new neighborhood, we would have that look on our face.
没错,完全如此。
Oh, totally.
对。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
确实如此。
It's so true.
这让我想起来一件事。
It makes me think.
我总是会回想起那部电影,虽然我自己也经历过类似的事。
I always go back to the movie even though I've I've done that too.
你知道吗,我第一次到东京涩谷的时候,刚下飞机,整个人都晕乎乎的,可还是得出门。
Like, you know, my first time arriving in Shibuya in Tokyo being totally, like, completely messed up from the plane ride, but I had to go out of my apartment.
对吧?
Right?
我得去洗个澡,起来活动活动。
I had to go take a shower, get up.
你必须出去看看自己在哪,结果直接看傻了。
You gotta go, see where you are, and you're just dumbfounded.
这让我想起那部电影,《迷失东京》,叫什么来着?
But it brings me back to the movie Lost in Translate what was it?
就是那个,比尔·默瑞演的《迷失东京》。
Lost in Translation with what's his name?
比尔·默瑞。
Bill Murray.
他在出租车里的情景,完全一模一样。
And he's in the taxi, and it's the same thing.
他从机场坐上出租车,一觉醒来,发现自己已经在新宿或者涩谷了。
He gets up from the airport in the taxi, and he wakes up, and he's in the middle of Shinjuku or Shibuya.
想想涩谷吧。
Think Shibuya.
对啊。
Yeah.
音乐响着,他抬头一看。
And there's the music playing, and he's looking up.
他心想:天哪。
He's like, oh my gosh.
这地方完全陌生。
This is a completely new place.
这是个不一样的地方。
This is a different place.
从纽约来的人,根本没见过这样的景象。
Like, nothing he's seen before coming from New York.
说来有点好笑,我们当时还真去找过那家酒店。
So a funny story about that is that we tried to find that hotel.
哦。
Oh.
你懂的。
You know?
对,没错。
Oh, yeah.
我们到那儿之后,居然花了整整一个小时,在酒店里到处找那个酒吧。
And when when we were there and we literally spent, like, an hour, like, in this in the hotel, like, trying to find the bar.
那个酒吧在电影里出现过。
And, you know, that was used in the movie.
我们转了好久,都快一个小时了,还是没找到,最后才发现我们跑错地方了。
And we were walking around for so long, and then, like, an hour into it, we could not find it, and then we realized we were at the wrong place.
跑错地方了。
At the wrong place.
这太有趣了。
That's so funny.
这太有趣了。
That's so funny.
我记得好像墙上有个恐龙的画像,恐龙正从楼的一头穿过。
I remember I think there was the dinosaur going across the of the building, the picture of the dinosaur.
不管怎样,真是挺折腾的。
Anyways, quite a minute.
不好意思。
Sorry.
不过,我们刚才说的,其实就是那种对居住地或造访之地深深着迷的感觉。
But, yeah, so that's just kind of we're describing to you what it means to be in love with where you live or visit.
对吧,米歇尔?
Right, Michelle?
是的。
Yeah.
是的
Yeah.
咱们给听众们分享一些方法,帮他们慢慢爱上自己住的地方,不管是美国的哪里,是内布拉斯加州的奥马哈,还是纽约市或者加州。
So let's show our listeners some ideas of how they could make an effort to kinda fall in love with their place, where they're living, whether it's The US, whether you're in Omaha, Nebraska or New York City or California.
你想想,怎么才能真正爱上一个地方呢?
You know, how could you fall in love?
对吧,米歇尔?
Right, Michelle?
对。
Right.
对。
Right.
对。
Right.
我觉得,其中一个办法就是去上一门课。
Well, I mean, I think one of the ways to fall in love is to take a class.
我是说,确实如此。
I mean, like Yeah.
尤其是比如跳舞课,我之前跟你提过这个。
Especially maybe it's a dance class or, like, I've talked to you about this before.
我喜欢去国外参加烹饪课。
I like to do cooking classes abroad.
是的。
Yeah.
去体验一下,尝试一下,真的。
So to just kinda get a flavor of it and to to try try yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
去尝试一些能让你和当地产生连接的新事物。
To try something new that connects you to that place.
我喜欢你刚才说的‘体验一下’这个说法。
I like how you said get a flavor of it.
对吧?
Right?
真正地、自然地去感受那种氛围。
Get a flavor literally and, like, organically.
太棒了。
Love it.
太棒了。
Love it.
你说话真有艺术感啊,米歇尔。
So artistic in your speaking, Michelle.
我喜欢这个说法。
I love it.
烹饪课确实不错。
Also, cooking classes are great.
舞蹈课也很棒。
Dance classes are really good.
我记得在布宜诺斯艾利斯的时候,上过一节探戈课。
I remember in Buenos Aires, I was taking a tango class.
还有尼斯。
And Nice.
在波士顿的时候,我上的是不是班格拉舞课?
In, you know, in Boston, I took a was it Bhangra?
我好像还真上过一节班格拉舞课。
I think I might have taken a Bhangra class.
好吧。
Okay.
或者那到底是什么舞来着?
Or maybe it was just what is that?
那种跳起来特别猛、其实也在锻炼的舞蹈。
Some other kind of dance where you're dancing a lot, but you're you're exercising.
如果你在印度,上一节班格拉舞课肯定特别棒。
But if you were in a place like India, maybe taking a bhangra class would be amazing.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
你能想象吗?
Could you imagine?
那确实太棒了。
That that well, that would be amazing.
我之前去印度参加过一场婚礼,那种真实的体验真的能让人爱上那个地方。
And I went to, you know, I went to a wedding in India, and I think that definitely, like, getting, like, a real experience like that also helps you fall in love with the place.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
去参加婚礼?
Going to a wedding?
是啊。
Yes.
一百个如果,我当初没去参加那场在印度的婚礼,真是个错误。
A 100 If you're so I've made the mistake of not going to that wedding I was invited to in India.
我觉得这就是我的职责。
Everyone I think that's my role.
每个人一生中都会收到印度婚礼的邀请,我和很多人聊过这事。
Everyone gets invited to an Indian wedding at some point in their lives because I've had this conversation with people.
收到邀请后,赶紧订机票去吧。
Everyone's been invited, but when you get that invitation, book your flight and go.
别错过这个机会,这可是难得的体验。
Don't miss the chance because such a cool opportunity.
音乐、舞蹈课、烹饪课,还有别的吗,米歇尔?我们还能做些什么来培养感情?
So music, dance classes, cooking classes, what else, Michelle, could we do to try to fall in love?
我觉得应该多认识些人。
I think meet as many people as possible.
我的意思是,归根结底,最重要的还是人。
I mean, I I I just think the it's all about the people, really.
确实如此。
Like Yeah.
我的意思是,尽量多认识当地人,但其实导游也可能是当地人。
Whether I mean, yeah, you you know, try to meet locals, but, I mean I mean, the the tour guys could be locals too.
就算只是跟导游聊聊天也好,比如你参加步行游的时候,到了吃饭的地方,别躲着导游不理人。
But even, you know, even talking to your tour guide, like, you know, if you're taking if you're taking a tour, like, I like to do these walking tours, you know, when you stop for a meal, like, don't, like, hide from the tour guide.
主动去跟他们聊一聊。
Like, go and talk to them.
没错。
And Yeah.
我也说不好。
I don't know.
我总是觉得,特别容易被别人吸引。
I just I always find, you know, that I get so charmed by people.
所以。
So
对。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
关键还是在人身上。
It's all about the people.
我同意你的看法,米歇尔。
I agree with you, Michelle.
多了解了解导游。
Get to know the tour guide.
多和导游还有助手待在一起,别总跟其他游客混在一起。
Hang out with the tour guide and their assistant instead of the other travelers.
对吧?
Right?
对。
Mhmm.
说到旅游,我也喜欢步行游览。
In terms of tours, I like walking tours too.
我喜欢参加一些特别的游览,比如闹鬼之旅。
I like to do, like, quirky tours, like ghost tours.
我们去南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿时,参加过一次闹鬼之旅。
We did a ghost tour when we were in Charleston, South Carolina.
对吧?
Right?
你可以想想
So think think about
新奥尔良。
about New Orleans.
是的。
Yeah.
没错。
Yeah.
太棒了。
Perfect.
所以南方啊,我知道有些人正往新奥尔良去。
So the South, and I know there are people I know that are going down to New Orleans.
他们打算去参加沼泽游。
They're gonna do a swamp tour.
对吧?
Right?
这真是个特别本地化的例子。
So that would be a good example of something that's just so local.
想要真正爱上一个地方,就得体验这种只属于那座城市独有的东西,比如沼泽游。
That is the way to fall in love, something that's so unique to that city or that place, a swamp tour.
是啊。
Yeah.
你懂的。
You know?
我现在简直被触动得不行。
Oh, I'm feeling all the feels right now.

我懂。
I know.
我明白。
I know.
我知道。
I know.
你不想去旅行吗?
Don't you wanna travel?
我确实得去。
I need to.
我真的很想。
I do.
我快憋不住了。
I'm desperate.
是的。
Yeah.
我知道。
Know.
而且就像米歇尔说的,婚礼、节日、聚会,这些活动你都得参加。
And then, you know, like Michelle said, weddings, holidays, guys, participate in those.
如果你没被邀请,那就自己组织一些活动,对象可以是其他外籍人士,也可以是本地人,主动当组织者。
If you don't get invited, then organize something for other expats or for locals or be the organizer if you don't get invited.
是的。
Yeah.
对吧?
Right?
当然了。
Oh, yeah.
为什么不呢?
Why not?
对吧?
Right?
我特别喜欢节日。
And I love festivals.
我第一次在这里过秋天的时候去参加了丹佛的辣椒节,吃了好多辣椒,但正是通过那个节日,我真正爱上了丹佛的氛围。
I love I went to a chili festival in Denver my first fall here, ate so much chili, but I definitely fell in love with the vibe of Denver through that festival.
没错。
Right.
没错。
Right.
没错。
Right.
我觉得吧,我爱上了自己的城市——纽约。
And I feel like, you know, I I fell in love with my own city, with New York Mhmm.
抱歉,我总是这样。
Excuse me, all all the time.
你懂的。
You know?
就是些不一样的东西。
Just different things.
比如,想找点以前从来没听说过的玩意儿。
Like, just wanted something that you're not really that you didn't know about before.
这正是像纽约这样的大城市迷人的地方。
And that's one of the beauties of, you know, big places like New York.
我的意思是,总有些东西让我惊讶,哎呀,原来还有这个。
I mean, like, there's always something that I didn't that I'm like, oh, wow.
我压根不知道这儿还有这个。
I didn't know that that was there.
我之前根本不知道有这回事。
I didn't didn't know about that.
你懂的。
You know?
或者突然冒出个新地方,或者有太多不一样的事,让我越来越喜欢现在住的地方。
And, like or just something a new place comes up or, you know, there's so many different things that make me kind of, you know, fall in love with where I am now.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
当然了。
For sure.
纽约真的很容易让人爱上,因为你总能发现它新的面貌。
It's so easy to fall in love with New York because you do always get to see a new a new part of it.
总有些新鲜事在发生,不断有新东西冒出来。
New things going on, new things that are popping up.
各位,听好了。
And guys, alright.
所以,这些就是一些让你爱上当前所在地的方法。
So that's kind of those are some ideas on how you could fall in love with where you are.
正如米歇尔说的,你说得对,米歇尔,关键还是人。
And now, as Michelle said, I think you said it right, Michelle, it's all about the people.
接下来,我们会给你三个资源,帮你参加活动后立刻与当地人建立联系。
So we're gonna give you three resources to get direct immediate connections to locals as soon as you attend these events.
对吧,米歇尔?
Right, Michelle?
这些网站都很棒。
These are great websites.
是的。
Yeah.
好的。
Alright.
第一个是Meetup.com。
Well, the first one is meetup.com.
对。
Mhmm.
我刚搬来纽约的时候就用过Meetup。
And I did meetup when I first moved to New York.
明白了。
Okay.
那后来怎么样?
How'd that go?
对啊。
Mhmm.
哦,挺好的。
Oh, it was good.
我确实认识了一些人。
I did meet some people.
现在跟他们没联系了,但我当时参加过一个即兴表演的聚会。
I'm not in touch with them now, but I did I did a improv meetup.
真不错。
Oh, cool.
特别棒。
Very cool.
我记得还参加过别的活动,但想不起来了。
I think I did something else, but I can't remember.
那个即兴表演的活动,我刚搬来的时候每周都去,特别棒。
That the improv one, I I went weekly for a while when I first moved, and that was great.
对。
Mhmm.
这确实是认识人的好办法。
So that's a that's a great way to meet people.
是的。
Yes.
真是认识人的好方式。
Such a good way to meet people.
所以这是第一个方法。
So that's the first one.
我还在纽约通过Meetup.com认识了一些关系比较近的朋友。
I also met some of my closer friends in New York through meetup.com.
所以说,这真是个不错的方式。
So, guys, great way.
我知道他们既有线上也有线下的聚会,如果可能的话,尽量参加线下的。
I know they're doing virtual and live meetups, so try to do the live ones if you can.
Couchsurfing.com。
Couchsurfing.com.
Couchsurfing.com 是另一个不错的选择。
Couchsurfing.com is another great one.
几年前我横跨美国旅行的时候,做了很多沙发客,那时候我们正在制作那个在线的沟通者课程,就是我们的英语流利课程。
I did a lot of couch surfing in my cross country trip a couple of years ago when we built the connected communicator online course, right, our English fluency course.
另外,如果你想了解那次旅行和经历,可以去 allearsenglish.com/connection 看看。
And guys, by the way, if you wanna check out that trip, that journey, go to allearsenglish.com/connection.
米歇尔,你对沙发客有了解吗?
Michelle, do you know anything about couch surfing?
我从来没试过。
I've never done it.
我知道你做过,我也略知一二。
I know that I know that you have, and I know a little bit about it.
但我真的从来没试过。
But, I have I've never I've never tried it.
我知道。
I know.
确实挺特别的。
It's yeah.
挺有意思的。
It's interesting.
这是一种非常回归本质的文化交流方式。
It's a very back to basics kinda cultural exchange.
在美国,有很多人收留过我,出国时我也住过一位乌拉圭女士家,她住的房子特别美,还有几只可爱的狗,我们玩得特别开心。
So there are actually a lot of people that hosted me in The US, but even abroad, I stayed with a woman in Uruguay who lived in, like, this beautiful house, had these great dogs, and we had so much fun.
她带我逛遍了乌拉圭的蒙得维的亚。
She took me all around Montevideo, Uruguay.
这就像是有个专属的导游兼朋友。
So it's like you have your own tour guide and friend.
这其实主要是交朋友。
It's really about making friends.
所以你真的在花时间相处。
So you're actually spending time.
不像Airbnb那样,你只是订个房间。
So as opposed to something like Airbnb where you're just booking a room.
没错。
Right.
放下行李就走。
And just dropping your things.
是的。
Yeah.
这里的预期是你得和房东多待一会儿,聊聊天。
The expectation here is that you're actually gonna hang out with the host a little bit.
所以这就是关键,但这样挺好。
So that's the thing to know, but that's great.
我的意思是,在一个新城市里,还有什么比和房东一起慢慢吃顿晚饭更好的事呢?
I mean, what better thing to do than linger over dinner with a host in a new city?
这太棒了。
Oh, that's awesome.
那这个平台是不是还提供国际交流活动?
And then there would it tell us about internations?
对。
Yeah.
这个我从来没参加过,但我知道有个网站,他们在全球很多城市都有据点。
So this one, I've never attended an event, but I know this is a website where they pretty much have locations in many international cities.
对吧?
Right?
上面说全球有420个城市。
It says 420 cities worldwide.
我上网站一看,可以注册加入这个俱乐部,其实就是个全球各地的外籍人士组成的社群。
When I go to the website, you can sign up, be in the club, and it's just a club of expats all over the world in these different cities.
而且我觉得他们会举办一些活动。
And I think that they have events.
对吧?
Right?
我看到这个城市列表了,迪拜、雅加达、伦敦、马德里、巴黎、布拉格。
I'm seeing the list of cities, Dubai, Jakarta, London, Madrid, Paris, Prague.
如果你想找年轻人、二十多岁、三十多岁、四十多岁的职场人士建立联系,这个网站再合适不过了。
Guys, if you wanna get connected to young professionals, right, professionals in their twenties, thirties, forties, that is a great website to do it.
国际职场人士。
International professionals.
太棒了。
So good.
哇,米歇尔。
Wow, Michelle.
太好了。
Awesome.
真厉害。
Wow.
