In today's Buzzword Mix, our buzzword is Social Media Detox.
Nowadays we're pretty much glued to our phones, especially those social media apps. They are always there waiting to devour our attention.
说句实话, 咱们现在绝大部分的人都是低头族, 而且很多人在用手机的时候都会用大量的时间去刷各种社交媒体 social media, that constant pressure to always be online on social media, always post the best pictures, best moments, it can be so overwhelming and also time consuming.
In addition, if you are sensitive and struggle with your self esteem, social media can feel very toxic at times.
这样每天大量的刷社交媒体, 不光会占用你很多时间, 而且如果你是那种比较敏感或者对自己不太自信的人, 社交媒体可能会给你带来极大的焦虑.
Whether it’s seeing what feels like a gallery of “perfect” bodies, or seeing people who seem to be constantly succeeding in life, it can be really hard not to feel bad about yourself.
社交媒体上那些随处可见的高颜值、高收入、才华横溢的人生赢家, 很难让咱们这样的普通人不感觉到焦虑重重.
But social media is not real life. As much influence, or seeming influence, it has, it’s a curated and selective sample of what’s actually going on in the world.
但实际上社交媒体它反映的并不是真实生活, 或者说至少不是普通人真实生活的全貌, 他只不过是精挑细选下来的那些高光时刻.
And many people are beginning to discover this. There has been a recent trend of people consciously reducing their social media use and they call it Social Media Detox.
这也就是我们今天的Buzzword-社交媒体排毒.
And a social media detox is a conscious elimination of social media use and consumption for a set period of time.
在一定的时间内有意识的去停用社交媒体.
Generally, most social media detoxes are 30 days, so a month, but some people do 7 days or even a year-long social media detox.
Ideally, you’re completely eliminating social media use and consumption. This means deleting and removing all social media apps from your phone, and in some cases where it’s possible, temporarily disabling your social media accounts.
