Episode 90 | 工作的意义是什么 What’s the point of work, really?
In this episode, we dive into the big questions around work, life, and purpose. With layoffs happening in Sweden and AI changing the game, we reflect on what work means to us today—why we do it, how it's changing, and what role things like hobbies, money, and meaning play. We chat about trends like "lying flat" and early retirement, how different cultures see work, and even get into some Confucian ideas about self-cultivation and serving society. =================== 免费的全文内容（汉字，拼音，英语翻译）在这里: https://www.yaya.press/doc/451eb72a-7e29-400b-b11f-9ffaf18245ee Free transcript of the entire podcast with characters, pinyin and English translation: https://www.yaya.press/doc/451eb72a-7e29-400b-b11f-9ffaf18245ee Discord Group: https://discord.gg/QfrS6aDw35 Yaya (language learning app) Tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPVUfRzlOHk&t=2s ================== 气候异常 | qìhòuyìcháng | climate anomaly; climate abnormality 起伏不定 | qǐfúbúdìng | unstable; fluctuating; unpredictable 打喷嚏 | dǎpēntì | to sneeze 抗过敏 | kàngguòmǐn | anti-allergy; anti-allergic 处方 | chǔfāng | prescription 非处方药 | fēichǔfāngyào | over-the-counter medicine; non-prescription drug 抗生素 | kàngshēngsù | antibiotic 贸易战 | màoyìzhàn | trade war 关税 | guānshuì | tariff; customs duty 裁员 | cáiyuán | lay off; reduce staff; downsizing 躺平 | tǎngpíng | lie flat; take it easy; do nothing 说白了 | shuōbáile | to put it bluntly; frankly speaking; in other words 非常拼 | fēicháng pīn | very hardworking; very competitive 网红 | wǎng hóng | internet celebrity; online influencer 自媒体 | zì méitǐ | self-media; independent media; personal media 模糊 | móhu | blurry; vague; unclear 粉丝 | fěnsī | fans; followers 广告植入 | guǎnggào zhírù | product placement; advertisement placement 网红 | wǎng hóng | internet celebrity; online influencer 挂钩 | guàgōu | hook; link; connect 人类社会 | rénlèi shèhuì | human society 验尸 | yànshī | autopsy; post-mortem examination 话题扯远 | huàtí chěyuǎn | off-topic; digress 供需的关系 | gōngxū de guānxi | supply and demand relationship 虚荣心 | xūróngxīn | vanity; conceit 攀比心 | pānbǐ xīn | competitive mentality; desire to compare oneself with others 职业倦怠 | zhíyèjuàndài | occupational burnout; job burnout 一网打尽 | yīwǎngdǎjìn | catch everything in one go; a clean sweep 远古时代 | yuǎngǔshídài | ancient times; prehistoric era 吃不饱饭 | chībùbǎo fàn | not have enough to eat; go hungry 贵族阶级 | guìzú jiējí | aristocracy; nobility; noble class 特权 | tèquán | privilege; prerogative; special right 瑜伽 | yújiā | yoga 冥想 | míngxiǎng | meditation 耳濡目染 | ěrrúmùrǎn | influenced by what one constantly sees and hears; subtly influenced 孔孟之道 | KǒngMèngzhīdào | Confucianism; the teachings of Confucius and Mencius 修身齐家治国平天下 | xiūshēn qíjiāzhìguópíngtiānxià | Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, bring peace to the world 为人民服务 | wèi rénmín fúwù | serve the people 成就感 | chéngjiùgǎn | sense of achievement; sense of accomplishment 螺丝钉 | luósīdīng | screw; bolt 流水线 | liúshuǐxiàn | assembly line 岔开说一句 | chàkāi shuō yījù | by the way; incidentally 洗脑 | xǐnǎo | brainwash 做贡献 | zuò gòngxiàn | to contribute; to make a contribution 政治宣传 | zhèngzhìxuānchuán | political propaganda 本末倒置 | běnmòdàozhì | to put the cart before the horse; to reverse the primary and secondary tasks; to confuse priorities 心理咨询 | xīnlǐzīxún | psychological counseling; psychotherapy 人贵有自知之明 | rén guì yǒu zìzhīzhīmíng | It is valuable for people to have self-awareness; Self-awareness is a valuable trait 标杆 | biāogān | benchmark; standard; model 全球视野 | quánqiú shìyě | global perspective; global vision 领导力 | lǐngdǎolì | leadership 身心合一 | shēnxīn héyī | mind and body in harmony; unity of body and mind 落脚点 | luòjiǎodiǎn | foothold; stopping place; focus Powered by Firstory Hosting
