脚本:
A new museum entirely dedicated to laziness has opened in the capital city of Colombia. But you have to hurry if you want to see the exhibits and learn about being lazy because the exhibition lasts only for one week. The unusual show displays a whole range of things, such as sofas, beds, and anything that encourages rest. There are also plenty of televisions for those visiting couch potatoes to watch as they move around the museum.
一个完全致力于懒惰的新博物馆在哥伦比亚首都开业。但是,如果您想观看展品并学习如何偷懒,您必须快点,因为展览只持续一周。这个不寻常的节目展示了各种各样的东西,例如沙发、床和任何鼓励休息的东西。这里还有很多电视供那些参观沙发土豆的人在博物馆里走动时观看。
It is no coincidence but rather an intentional decision for the museum to have opened right after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year. It offers a practical experience to make us think about laziness in our high-speed, fast-paced societies.
博物馆在假期后立即开放并非巧合,而是有意为之 。这个想法是让人们考虑懒惰,也许在一年中的其余时间里改变他们的行为和生活方式。它提供了一种实践经验,让我们思考我们高速、快节奏的社会中的懒惰。
The museum’s founder, Marcela Arrieta, said she wanted people to rethink laziness and decide whether it really is such a bad thing. She told the media that people today always think about laziness as an enemy of work. For example, they may feel guilty if they sleep late, or they may feel that they are wasting time after taking a nap or having a holiday.
该博物馆的创始人马塞拉·阿列塔 (Marcela Arrieta) 说,她希望人们重新思考懒惰,并决定这是否真的是一件坏事。她对媒体表示,现在的人们总是把懒惰看作是工作的敌人。例如,如果他们睡得晚,他们可能会感到内疚,或者他们可能会觉得自己在小睡或度假后浪费时间。
Ms. Arrieta may not be proposing that we should have a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we do need more leisure time than our jobs allow us, and that we should change our lifestyle to one that is more relaxing. Besides, according to scientists, avoiding the pressure and stress of work can make us healthier and live longer. So, why not try out Ms. Arrieta’s advice for yourself: Slow down, and think about being lazy?
Arrieta 女士可能不是在提议我们应该缩短工作周,但她可能说得有道理,因为我们确实需要比工作允许的更多的闲暇时间,我们应该改变我们的生活方式,让自己更轻松。此外,根据科学家的说法,避免工作的压力和压力可以使我们更健康,活得更久。那么,为什么不亲自尝试一下 Arrieta 女士的建议:放慢脚步,考虑偷懒呢?

Good morning, everyone. Today, I’m going to talk about a fascinating aspect of the tourism industry known as niche tourism. Niche tourism provides travelers with the opportunity to explore and experience unique and distinctive destinations that cater to their specific interests and preferences. This can include exploring special historical or geographical sites, participating in unique and authentic experiences, or engaging with local communities and cultures in meaningful ways.
大家早上好。今天,我将谈谈旅游业的一个迷人方面,即小众旅游。小众旅游为旅行者提供了探索和体验独特而独特的目的地的机会,以满足他们的特定兴趣和偏好。这可能包括探索特殊的历史或地理遗迹,参与独特而真实的体验,或以有意义的方式与当地社区和文化互动 。
According to a report published recently by a world-leading data and analytics company, niche tourism is growing most rapidly among the young generation, specifically those born in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
根据一家世界领先的数据和分析公司最近发布的一份报告,小众旅游在年轻一代中增长最快,特别是 1990 年代末和 2000 年代初出生的人。
In the question of whether or not you are more likely to be influenced by tourism products that are tailored to your specific needs, the survey conducted by the company found that young adults were the group most likely to answer “yes”. Nearly 27 percent of them responded that this would always influence their choice, and that they would always prefer a personalized product over a more generalized, one-size-fits-all one. This figure is three percent higher than the global average, which might indicate a growing trend toward niche travel among the young generation.
关于您是否更有可能受到针对您的特定需求量身定制的旅游产品的影响的问题,该公司进行的调查发现,年轻人是最有可能回答 “ 是 ” 的群体。近 27% 的受访者表示,这始终会影响他们的选择,并且他们总是更喜欢个性化产品,而不是更通用、一刀切的产品。这一数字比全球平均水平高出 3%,这可能表明年轻一代对小众旅行的趋势越来越大。
The report also touched on some of the different types of niche travel and whether the desire for them grew from 2018 to 2021. It was found that trips focusing on adventure, cookery, wellness, or eco-friendliness grew the most over the four years.
该报告还谈到了一些不同类型的小众旅行,以及从 2018 年到 2021 年对它们的需求是否增长。研究发现,在过去四年中,专注于冒险、烹饪、健康或环保的旅行增长最快。
Why do young adults seem to prefer niche travel? In the opinion of some tourism analysts, young adults yearn for more engaging and meaningful experiences. To them, experiences are more important than other factors, including cost.
为什么年轻人似乎更喜欢小众旅行?在一些旅游分析师看来,年轻人渴望获得更具吸引力和有意义的体验。对他们来说,体验比其他因素(包括成本)更重要。
To find niche travel, the biggest tip offered is to check with a travel advisor. Travel advisors are uniquely knowledgeable, and many specialize in travel types, destinations, and even specific brands.
要找到利基旅行,提供的最大提示是咨询旅行顾问。旅行顾问知识渊博,其中许多人专注于旅行类型、目的地甚至特定品牌。
When you plan your niche trip, you should first figure out which type you actually want to experience. If you want an immersive vacation in just one destination, you might consider a tour with an operator that focuses on deep and engaging experiences. If you want an eco-friendly vacation, you should consider factors like reducing carbon emissions while traveling, which can be achieved by using public transportation or biking, among other things.
当您计划您的利基旅行时,您应该首先弄清楚您真正想要体验的类型。如果您只想在一个目的地享受身临其境的假期,您可以考虑与专注于深入和引人入胜的体验的运营商一起旅行。如果您想要一个环保的假期,您应该考虑减少旅行时的碳排放等因素,这可以通过使用公共交通工具或骑自行车等来实现。
The young generation is leading the growth in niche travel, and will soon become the dominant group in the travel industry. Who knows what other fun travel trends they’ll share with us next? Either way, it’s clear that niche travel is here to stay.
年轻一代正在引领小众旅游的增长,并将很快成为旅游行业的主导群体。谁知道他们接下来还会与我们分享哪些其他有趣的旅行趋势呢?无论哪种方式, 很明显,小众旅行将继续存在。

If someone told you there was a lifehack that could help reduce your blood pressure, calm your heart rate, improve your mood, and give you feelings of contentment and life satisfaction, would you take their advice? Whether or not it sounds reasonable, it’s true, and it’s called “forest bathing”. Simply taking time out of your schedule to go for a walk in nature has been consistently found to have powerful, restorative effects on your physical and mental health.
如果有人告诉你有一个生活小窍门可以帮助降低你的血压、平静你的心率、改善你的情绪,并给你带来满足感和生活满意度,你会接受他们的建议吗?无论这听起来是否合理,这是真的,它被称为“森林浴”。简单地从您的日程安排中抽出时间在大自然中散步 ,一直被发现对您的身心健康具有强大的恢复作用。
“Forest bathing” is a term developed in Japan in the early 1980s. It has been defined as “making contact with and taking in the atmosphere of the forest”. The benefits of forest bathing have been well-documented by an ever-growing group of studies and scientific literature. By merely walking amongst the trees and listening to the sounds of the wind, the leaves, and the birds, people can experience a significant reduction in their levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. They can also feel a soothing sense of comfort and improved feelings of calm refreshment, becoming more energized and vigorous.
“森林浴”是 1980 年代初在日本开发的一个术语。它被定义为“接触并感受森林的氛围”。森林浴的好处已被越来越多的研究和科学文献充分证明。仅仅在树林中行走,聆听风、树叶和鸟儿的声音,人们的压力、抑郁和焦虑水平就可以显着降低。他们还可以感受到舒缓的舒适感和改善的平静提神感,变得更加充满活力和活力。
Some studies suggest that forest bathing has to last longer than 20 minutes to secure these powerful and positive effects, while others conclude that you could experience benefits from as little as 10 minutes in natural areas. Another study, published in Scientific Reports, concludes that to get these benefits, one needs to spend at least 120 minutes in nature every week. Each visit does not need to be the same length – you can string together a few short visits or take one two-hour hike at a time. After about 250 minutes in nature each week, though, this study finds that participants hit the maximum level of benefit, and more time spent in forest bathing then will not offer any further gain.
一些研究表明,森林浴必须持续 20 分钟以上才能获得这些强大而积极的效果,而另一些研究则得出结论,在自然区域短短 10 分钟就可以体验到好处。另一项发表在《科学报告》上的研究得出结论,要获得这些好处,每周至少需要花 120 分钟在大自然中。每次访问的长度不需要相同 - 您可以将几次短途访问串在一起,或者一次进行一次两小时的徒步旅行。然而,每周在大自然中大约 250 分钟后,这项研究发现,参与者达到了最大的好处水平,花在森林浴上的时间越多,就不会有任何进一步的收获。
In addition to the duration of time spent immersing oneself in nature, there are discussions about other factors that may contribute to the positive effects of forest bathing. One such factor revolves around the concept of “awe”. In other words, the experience of being amazed by something bigger than yourself and the ability to place your own problems in the context of something huge, powerful, and hard to understand could be good for you.
除了沉浸在大自然中的时间外,还有关于可能有助于森林浴积极影响的其他因素的讨论。其中一个因素围绕着 “敬畏 ”的概念。换句话说,被比自己更大的事物所震惊的经历,以及将自己的问题置于巨大、强大且难以理解的事物背景下的能力,可能对你有好处。
No matter how it works, forest bathing clearly functions as a valuable, reliable stress release and affirms our good feelings about ourselves and our future.
无论它如何运作,森林浴显然是一种有价值、可靠的压力释放方式,并肯定了我们对自己和未来的良好感觉。
