Day 22: What activities do you most enjoy doing?

第二十二天：你最喜歡從事什麼樣的活動呢？

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，你正在收聽《學英語環遊世界》。我是你的新朋友莎拉。我來自德國。我現在身處清邁，因為我喜歡泰國、泰國美食和熱帶的氣候。我是一家德國保險公司的承包商，業餘時間里，我喜歡做瑜伽，冥想，還喜歡招待人，讓身邊有更多的朋友。我的夢想是再次擁有一個共享工作空間。今天，莉莉問了我一個問題，那就是你最喜歡做的活動是什麼？是的，我最喜歡做的活動實際上是主持晚餐派對。

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 pot lucks, 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.

因為首先，我不認為自己是一位出色的廚師，但這並不太關乎食物，也不太關乎如何擺設桌子，或者你花多少時間準備，或者是否讓一切看起來像是可在Instagram上分享的。更多的是邀請人們共進一頓飯，分享一頓飯，因為每個人至少每天都要吃一次飯。這是每個人都會答應的事情。即使你不擅長烹飪，晚餐派對也可以搞成聚餐，每個人帶自己的小菜，然後大家一起分享一頓飯。當你將這與一些問題、主題或其他東西結合在一起時，這是一個服務社群、結交新朋友的絕佳機會。你可以輕鬆結交新的朋友，鞏固和維護與朋友和家人的關係。人們甚至可以帶來其他人，這樣你就可以擴大你的社群。所以，是的，我認為主持晚餐派對是以一種健康的方式社交的有趣方式。就是這樣。感謝你的聆聽。

今日感想：

在這個看似美好卻又充滿混亂的旅程中，我深刻體悟到一種內心的沈靜，它超越了外在的表象，成為我珍視的寶藏。

生活的旅途中，我常常感受到絕望的陰影，尤其是在收入不穩定、孤獨漂泊的時候。然而，這些挑戰並不是生命的終結，而是成長的契機。在這片看似荒蕪的土地上，我找到了內在的富足。

擁有穩定的收入和心儀的對象固然是幸運，但我發現，真正的安寧來自於對內心的慎獨。在生活的喧嘩聲中，我學會了專注聆聽內在的聲音，理解那份對自我的深刻渴望。

或許我無法總是站在經濟安全的高地，或者擁有一段穩定的感情。但這並不代表我缺少價值。透過獨處的時光，我找到了屬於自己的節奏，學會了與孤獨為伍，並將其轉化為靈感的源泉。

我想告訴聽眾，外在的表象並不總是生活的全部。儘管我曾經感受到絕望和想要逃離的衝動，但我也因此發現了內心的強大和平靜。這是一段探索內在自我的旅程，不論身處何方，都能夠找到屬於自己的
