Day 26: What everyday items are you most grateful for?

第二十六天：哪一件每天的用品让你觉得很感恩？

Hello. You're listening to Fly with Lily. I'm your new friend, John. I'm from the United States. I'm in Chiang Mai now because I'm saving money on living expenses while getting a master's degree online. I'm a graduate student and a teacher. In my free time, I read and go to the gym. My dream is to start an educational YouTube channel. 

你好。你正在收听《与莉莉一起飞》。我是你的新朋友约翰。我来自美国。我现在身处清迈，因为我正在通过在线方式攻读硕士学位，节省生活费用。我是一名研究生和一名教师。业余时间，我喜欢阅读并去健身房。我的梦想是开办一个教育类的YouTube频道。

Today I'm asked a question by Lily. What everyday items are you most grateful for? So I brought one really heavy or two really heavy items with me to Chiang Mai from America that most people would not bring. And those heavy items are two glass leftover containers. They're very high quality. You can put them in the oven or the microwave. And I'm really grateful for these because they give me a lot of options. They keep leftovers fresh much longer than a normal box would. 

今天，莉莉问了我一个问题，那就是你最感激的日常物品是什么？所以我从美国带到清迈的有两个很重的东西，大多数人可能不会带着来。那就是两个玻璃的保鲜盒。它们质量很好，可以放进烤箱或微波炉。我真的很感激它们，因为它们给了我很多选择。它们比普通的盒子能够更长时间地保持剩菜的新鲜。

So I can cook something and eat it three or four days later, and it's perfectly fresh, and that's hard to achieve. And because of these containers, I can cook, like, a large meal with three different helpings, and then I have food today, tomorrow, and the next day or later in the week, if I so choose. They're also excellent because they're glass and they deal with heat well. You can cook instant noodles, or you can cook oatmeal in them. 

所以我可以煮一些食物，然后在三四天后吃，它还是非常新鲜的，这是很难实现的。由于这些容器，我可以做一顿有三个不同部分的大餐，然后今天、明天以及下一天或者是这周后期，我都有食物可以吃，这是非常方便的。它们也非常棒，因为它们是玻璃的，对抗热很有用。你可以在里面煮方便面，或者煮燕麦粥。

So they've really expanded my dietary options. And they also help save money, because you can keep your leftovers, and you can eat cheap stuff like instant noodles and oatmeal. So even though they're heavy and I don't like taking them to the airport, they're really convenient, and they give me a lot of benefits. So that's a simple, everyday item that I'm grateful for. That's it. Thanks for listening.

所以它们真的扩大了我的饮食选择。而且它们还有助于省钱，因为你可以留下剩菜，然后吃一些便宜的东西，比如方便面和燕麦粥。所以尽管它们很重，我不喜欢带它们去机场，但它们真的很方便，给了我很多好处。这就是我感激的简单日常物品。就是这样。谢谢你的聆听。
