美国年轻人这样表达“放松”
现代人的生活节奏都很快,为了缓解压力,人们自然也需要找机会放松放松。今天我们就来学习一下美国的年轻人常用来表达“放松”的两个词。
1. Veg
Veg是vegetable的简略形式。Vegetable是蔬菜,长在地上的蔬菜是不能自由活动的,它静静地呆在原地不动。表面看来蔬菜被动呆板,但换个角度来想它们倒也活得悠闲自在。Veg可引申为“什么也不干,什么也不想,完完全全地放松休息”。例如:

Chill这个词也可以用来指”从事一些轻松悠闲的活动、放松休息等“。例如:
We didn't do much yesterday. Tim came over to my house, and we pretty much chilled there all day. We watched TV, played a few video games, and had some snacks -- nothing special。
我们昨天没做什么,蒂姆来我家,我俩在家呆了一整天,我们看了会儿电视,再玩儿了几盘电子游戏,然后吃了点儿点心,没什么特别的活动。
