大隔离,美国人都在朋友圈晒什么?

About this episode

主播:Mary | 翩翩


歌曲: Don't Pull Your Love




上期节目,我们聊到,疫情期间,美国全民都在追《虎王》(Tiger King),除了追剧,美国人民还做什么呢?


今天,翩翩和Mary要聊一聊,疫情期间,美国人民还有哪些打发时间的方式?




How do people spent their time at home? 在家是怎么打发时间的?


How are they supporting each other from a distance? 怎么远距离互相鼓励的?


A big thing that is happening : 美国朋友圈里的一件大事:


1.Life imitates art “名画模仿”


①Challenge : imitating famous pieces of art. “名画模仿” 全民挑战


imitate 模仿

famous piece of art 名画

* Challenge 挑战


道具通常都是:


Dressing up in sheet : 披着床单

Old styled clothing: 老式的衣服


They need to find things to keep themselves busy.

疫情期间,他们需要找点事让自己忙起来。


总之,就是:Recreate famous works of art 对名画进行再创造

比如: 名画Old Woman Selling Eggs(《卖鸡蛋的老妇人》)的模仿:



② Sad Pablo 悲伤的巴勃鲁


除了对famous piece of art 名画的模仿,美国人民还热衷于对memes的模仿:

Meme 流行的的动图/表情包

最经典的、被最多人模仿的一个Meme:  Sad Pablo  悲伤的巴勃鲁


它是一组剧照, 主角Pablo巴勃鲁sitting in the chair and very sad(坐在椅子上,面带愁容)


Pablo’s face is depressing 表情很丧


很多美国人,因为social distancing(隔离),会模仿Sad Pablo的表情。然后post a moment(发布一个状态)。


Bread baking烘焙

美国人被一条又一条的”烘焙照片”刷屏了,


�The pandemic has inspired masses to begin baking their own bread. 疫情激发了人们的“烘焙”欲。


inspire 激发 启发

* masses 大众

* baking their own bread 自己烤面包


Why?


可能是因为 bread shortages(面包短缺)吧!

Regardless of the reason: 不管什么原因,


总之,post after post of people are trying their hand at baking bread.一条又一条“试手烘焙”的动态,在美国人的朋友圈刷屏!


* post after post  一条又一条(动态)


*regardless of : 不管,不顾


*try one’s hand at doing sth.试着做某事


也有很多美国人发圈吐槽:


烘焙期望(baking expectation)太高,却总是事与愿违(don’t pan out)。




Maybe it does nothing with the pandemic.It is about the age.


Connecting virtually 网络世界里的聚会


Small-scale 小规模的


① “Quarantine Art Clubs”. “隔离期,艺术俱乐部”


艺术家们主要是针对(gear towards)孩子们(tiny human)。

教易学会(pick up)的基本技能(basic art techniques)。


*美国人把小孩子们称作tiny human,而疫情期间,而我们把他们叫作“神兽”(amazing animal),“吞金兽”(animals who swallow money)。


*我们对娃娃们称呼,惹得Mary哈哈大笑。


Mary说:I do not have any kids, but I know that is true. 虽然没生娃,但秒懂!


② Fitness influencers 健身网红


除了对疫情的担忧,美国普通民众还有一个相似的concern:  Fitness

Before quarantine隔离前 & After quarantine 隔离后


Fitness influencers are filming workouts that can be done quietly at home.

健身网红拍摄了很多健身的视频,可以在家安静(不扰民)的练习。


influencers “网红”


Fitness influencers 健身网红、达人


*workout 锻炼

Large-scale 大规模的

Lady Gaga has raised 35 million dollars and is organizing a “stay at home” concert.


歌星Lady Gaga筹集到35,000,000美金的善款(仅一周时间),并组织在家的音乐会。

除了Lady Gaga,许多big names(名人)也发起了这样的活动。


这些proceeds(收益)将会用于:


get protective equipment for health workers为医护人员准备医用物资

to develop a vaccine for the virus 



追剧、名画模仿秀、烤面包、网络群组活动,关心疫情后的体重问题。。。这些,就是美国人民 疫情期间的部分生活写照。
