Food Delivery 外卖 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

中国的外卖非常发达。

zhōng guó | de | wài mài | fēi cháng | fā dá

Food delivery in China is extremely developed.


你可以看到非常多的外卖员,

nǐ | kě yǐ | kàn dào | fēi cháng duō | de | wài mài yuán

You can see a lot of food delivery riders,


他们骑车在路上,

tā men | qí chē | zài | lù shàng

riding their electric bikes on the roads


或在小区里赶路。

huò | zài | xiǎo qū | lǐ | gǎn lù

or hurrying through residential areas.


主要就是两大品牌的竞争,

zhǔ yào | jiù shì | liǎng dà | pǐn pái | de | jìng zhēng

The competition is mainly between two major brands,


幕后都是大资本。

mù hòu | dōu shì | dà | zī běn

with large capital backing them behind the scenes.


大多数的年轻人都会经常点外卖,

dà duō shù | de | nián qīng rén | dōu huì | jīng cháng | diǎn | wài mài

Most young people order takeout regularly,


我们家里也会时不时点外卖,

wǒ men | jiā lǐ | yě huì | shí bù shí | diǎn | wài mài

and our family also orders takeout from time to time


这样简单地解决一顿饭。

zhè yàng | jiǎn dān | de | jiě jué | yī dùn | fàn

to simply settle a meal.


同一个饭店,同样的菜品,

tóng yī gè | fàn diàn | tóng yàng | de | cài pǐn

For the same restaurant and the same dishes,


外卖的价格要贵一点点,

wài mài | de | jià gé | yào | guì | yī diǎn diǎn

the takeout price is a bit more expensive—


主要是因为平台要抽成,

zhǔ yào | shì | yīn wèi | píng tái | yào | chōu chéng

mainly because the platform charges a commission,


所以商家要提价来维持自己的利润。

suǒ yǐ | shāng jiā | yào | tí jià | lái | wéi chí | zì jǐ | de | lì rùn

so merchants have to raise prices to maintain their profits.


外卖员算是一个很灵活的工作,

wài mài yuán | suàn shì | yī gè | hěn | líng huó | de | gōng zuò

Being a food delivery rider is quite a flexible job.


很多人为了维持生计,去送外卖,

hěn duō | rén | wèi le | wéi chí | shēng jì | qù | sòng | wài mài

Many people deliver takeout to make a living,


也有些人不愿意做被束缚的工作,

yě | yǒu | xiē | rén | bù yuàn yì | zuò | bèi | shù fù | de | gōng zuò

some don’t want to do restrictive jobs,


还有些人是偶尔兼职送外卖,

hái yǒu | xiē | rén | shì | ǒu ěr | jiān zhí | sòng | wài mài

and others deliver takeout part-time occasionally


赚点小钱,或者体验生活。

zhuàn diǎn | xiǎo qián | huò zhě | tǐ yàn | shēng huó

to earn some extra money or experience life.


有一些特殊的外卖员,

yǒu | yī xiē | tè shū | de | wài mài yuán

There are some special delivery riders,


比如聋哑人、女性、

bǐ rú | lóng yǎ rén | nǚ xìng

such as deaf-mutes, women,


甚至孕妇和带着孩子的人。

shèn zhì | yùn fù | hé | dài zhe | hái zi | de | rén

and even pregnant women and those with children.


生活不易。

shēng huó | bù yì

Life is not easy.


除了吃饭的外卖,

chú le | chī fàn | de | wài mài

In addition to food delivery,


还有一些其它的即时配送,

hái yǒu | yī xiē | qí tā | de | jí shí | pèi sòng

there are also other instant delivery services,


比如买药、买日用品、买菜

bǐ rú | mǎi yào | mǎi | rì yòng pǐn | mǎi cài

such as buying medicine, daily necessities, and groceries.


还有山姆的即时配送,

hái yǒu | shān mǔ | de | jí shí | pèi sòng

There’s also Sam’s Club instant delivery,


还有一种叫闪送,

hái yǒu | yī zhǒng | jiào | shǎn sòng

and another type called flash delivery—


就是把一个东西从我家里,

jiù shì | bǎ | yī gè | dōng xī | cóng | wǒ | jiā lǐ

it means taking an item from my home


马上送到你家里。

mǎ shàng | sòng dào | nǐ | jiā lǐ

and delivering it to your home immediately.


这些都是我们经常会用到的服务,

zhè xiē | dōu shì | wǒ men | jīng cháng | huì | yòng dào | de | fú wù

These are all services we use frequently,


极大地方便了我们的生活。

jí dà | de | fāng biàn | le | wǒ men | de | shēng huó

which greatly facilitates our lives.


中国的外卖员已经有1500万,

zhōng guó | de | wài mài yuán | yǐ jīng | yǒu | 1500 wàn

The number of food delivery riders in China has reached 15 million,


这个数字很庞大,

zhè ge | shù zì | hěn | páng dà

This figure is huge


比有些国家的人口还多。

bǐ | yǒu xiē | guó jiā | de | rén kǒu | hái | duō

that is larger than the population of some countries.


2025 年外卖日均订单量8000多万单,

2025 nián | wài mài | rì jūn | dìng dān liàng | 8000 duō wàn | dān

In 2025, the average daily number of takeout orders exceeds 80 million,


真是人口基数太大了。

zhēn shì | rén kǒu | jī shù | tài | dà | le

truly a reflection of China’s enormous population base.

Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo
[ All Chinese 1 ] All-Chinese Program 全中文节目 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

今天新开设一个专栏

jīn tiān | xīn | kāi shè | yī gè | zhuān lán

Today I’m launching a new column.


这里的节目只有中文

zhè lǐ | de | jié mù | zhǐ yǒu | zhōng wén

The content here is only in Chinese—


不对每一句话做翻译

bù | duì | měi yī jù | huà | zuò | fān yì

I won’t translate every sentence.


但是文字稿里面还是有拼音和英语

dàn shì | wén zì gǎo | lǐ miàn | hái shì | yǒu | pīn yīn | hé | yīng yǔ

but the script will still include Pinyin and English.


还是第一遍慢速,第二遍快速

hái shì | dì yī biàn | màn sù | dì èr biàn | kuài sù

It will still be the first pass at a slow speed and the second pass at a fast speed.


这个专栏可能更适合有基础的朋友

zhè ge | zhuān lán | kě néng | gèng | shì hé | yǒu | jī chǔ | de | péng you

This column may be more suitable for people with some Chinese foundation.


我也想试一试不同的形式

wǒ | yě | xiǎng | shì yī shì | bù tóng | de | xíng shì

I also want to try a different format


看看大家是否喜欢全中文的沉浸式内容

kàn kàn | dà jiā | shì fǒu | xǐ huān | quán zhōng wén | de | chén jìn shì | nèi róng

to see if everyone likes fully immersive Chinese-only content.


那么我们今天就先聊聊全中文

nà me | wǒ men | jīn tiān | jiù | xiān | liáo liáo | quán zhōng wén

So today let’s first talk about fully Chinese content.


我自己,以及给我孩子学英文

wǒ | zì jǐ | yǐ jí | gěi | wǒ | hái zi | xué | yīng yǔ

When I learn English myself, and when I teach my kids English,


都喜欢全英文的方式

dōu | xǐ huān | quán yīng yǔ | de | fāng shì

I prefer the fully English approach.


因为如果总是用母语去翻译

yīn wèi | rú guǒ | zǒng shì | yòng | mǔ yǔ | qù | fān yì

Because if you always use your native language to translate,


会带来更多的阻碍

huì | dài lái | gèng duō | de | zǔ ài

it will create more obstacles.


不同语言的思维方式不一样

bù tóng | yǔ yán | de | sī wéi | fāng shì | bù yī yàng

Different languages have different ways of thinking—


有很多句子不能翻译出原本的意思

yǒu | hěn duō | jù zi | bù néng | fān yì | chū | yuán běn | de | yì si

many sentences can’t be translated to retain their original meaning.


中文里有句话叫做

zhōng wén | lǐ | yǒu | yī jù huà | jiào zuò

There’s a saying in Chinese:


只可意会,不可言传

zhǐ kě | yì huì | bù kě | yán chuán

"It can only be sensed, not expressed in words."


我的其它节目都是

wǒ | de | qí tā | jié mù | dōu shì

All my other programs follow the format of


一句中文接一句英文翻译

yī jù | zhōng wén | jiē | yī jù | yīng yǔ | fān yì

one Chinese sentence followed by an English translation.


这是因为播客的局限性

zhè | shì | yīn wèi | bō kè | de | jú xiàn xìng

This is due to the limitations of podcasts.


如果我做视频内容

rú guǒ | wǒ | zuò | shì pín | nèi róng

If I were to create video content,


就不会给大家翻译

jiù | bù huì | gěi | dà jiā | fān yì

I wouldn’t provide translations for everyone.


我今天看了一个视频

wǒ | jīn tiān | kàn le | yī gè | shì pín

Today I watched a video


是一个英国人在自己的农场里

shì | yī gè | yīng guó rén | zài | zì jǐ | de | nóng chǎng | lǐ

where a British person, on his own farm,


给英语学习者做沉浸式全英文演示

gěi | yīng yǔ | xué xí zhě | zuò | chén jìn shì | quán yīng yǔ | yǎn shì

gave an immersive fully English demonstration for English learners.


这样的形式非常好

zhè yàng | de | xíng shì | fēi cháng | hǎo

This format is very good,


但是我也发现了问题

dàn shì | wǒ | yě | fā xiàn | le | wèn tí

but I also noticed some problems.


第一,初学者会有很多词句听不懂

dì yī | chū xué zhě | huì | yǒu | hěn duō | cí jù | tīng bù dǒng

First, there are many words and sentences that beginners won’t understand.


第二,对于我这样的非初学者

dì èr | duì yú | wǒ | zhè yàng | de | fēi chū xué zhě

Second, for non-beginners like me,


我全都能听懂

wǒ | quán dōu | néng | tīng dǒng

I can understand them all,


但是这就意义不大了

dàn shì | zhè | jiù | yì yì | bù dà | le

but it’s not very meaningful.


第三,就算听懂了

dì sān | jiù suàn | tīng dǒng | le

Third, even if you understand,


叫观众自己说,还是不会

jiào | guān zhòng | zì jǐ | shuō | hái shì | bù huì

when asked to speak yourself, you still can’t.


因为听力和口语是两回事

yīn wèi | tīng lì | hé | kǒu yǔ | shì | liǎng huí shì

Because listening and speaking are two different things.


那么就需要用到非常好用的

nà me | jiù | xū yào | yòng dào | fēi cháng | hǎo yòng | de

So we need to use the very effective method of


影子跟读

yǐng zi | gēn dú

shadowing.


而且需要反复多次跟读练习

ér qiě | xū yào | fǎn fù | duō cì | gēn dú | liàn xí

She once worried about how to lose two catties in half a month,


如今靠一场荒野求生赛,

rú jīn | kào | yī chǎng | huāng yě | qiú shēng | sài

but now through a wilderness survival competition,


35天狂减28斤。

35 tiān | kuáng jiǎn | 28 jīn

she lost 28 catties in 35 days.


在岛上独自生存的35天里,

During the 35 days of surviving alone on the island,


她捡海胆、螃蟹、鲍鱼吃。

she picked and ate sea urchins, crabs, and abalones.


更是大胆尝试吃老鼠,

gèng shì | dà dǎn | cháng shì | chī | lǎo shǔ

She even boldly tried eating mice,


35天累计吃掉50只。

35 tiān | lěi jì | chī diào | 50 zhī

A total of 50 in 35 days.


还第一次独自猎杀山羊,

The 40℃ high temperature made her skin peel off twice,


自嘲变身 “黑皮辣妹”;

Frustrated with Learning Chinese 学中文崩溃 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

我看到一些视频

wǒ | kàn dào | yī xiē | shì pín

I saw some videos.


就是很多人学中文崩溃

jiù shì | hěn duō | rén | xué | zhōng wén | bēng kuì

that many people feel frustrated while learning Chinese.


觉得中文好难

jué de | zhōng wén | hǎo | nán

They think Chinese is really difficult.


有的人说自己学了好多年

yǒu | de | rén | shuō | zì jǐ | xué le | hǎo duō | nián

Some people say they’ve been learning it for years,


却还是很难

què | hái shì | hěn | nán

but it’s still very hard.


我想说的是

wǒ | xiǎng | shuō | de | shì

What I want to say is,


不要被这些情绪影响

bù yào | bèi | zhè xiē | qíng xù | yǐng xiǎng

don’t be affected by these emotions.


你只需要大量地输入

nǐ | zhǐ | xū yào | dà liàng | de | shū rù

You just need a lot of input,


大量地模仿

dà liàng | de | mó fǎng

and a lot of imitation.


中国人从小学开始学英语

zhōng guó rén | cóng | xiǎo xué | kāi shǐ | xué | yīng yǔ

Chinese people start learning English in primary school,


到大学毕业,通常会学十几年

dào | dà xué | bì yè | tōng cháng | huì | xué | shí jǐ | nián

and usually study it for more than ten years until graduating from university.


但是英语好的人少之又少

dàn shì | yīng yǔ | hǎo | de | rén | shǎo zhī yòu shǎo

but very few people have good English skills.


就算考试成绩好

jiù suàn | kǎo shì | chéng jì | hǎo

Even if they get good exam results,


也是哑巴英语

yě shì | yǎ bā | yīng yǔ

it’s still "mute English" (passive English with poor speaking ability).


我就是其中之一

wǒ | jiù shì | qí zhōng | zhī yī

I’m one of them.


这是我们教学方法的严重问题

zhè | shì | wǒ men | jiào xué | fāng fǎ | de | yán zhòng | wèn tí

This is a serious problem with our teaching methods.


咱们今天不讨论这个

zán men | jīn tiān | bù | tǎo lùn | zhè ge

We won’t discuss this today.


我想说的是

wǒ | xiǎng | shuō | de | shì

What I want to say is,


只要是学一门外语

zhǐ yào | shì | xué | yī mén | wài yǔ

as long as you’re learning a foreign language,


都会觉得很难

dōu huì | jué de | hěn | nán

you’ll find it difficult.


就算中文可能难度更大

jiù suàn | zhōng wén | kě néng | nán dù | gèng dà

Even if Chinese may be more difficult,


但也不必用负面情绪来消磨意志

dàn | yě | bù bì | yòng | fù miàn | qíng xù | lái | xiāo mó | yì zhì

there’s no need to let negative emotions weaken your will.


通过养育我的孩子

tōng guò | yǎng yù | wǒ | de | hái zi

Through raising my children,


我发现了学语言的秘密

wǒ | fā xiàn | le | xué | yǔ yán | de | mì mì

I discovered the secret to learning a language.


真的就是重复

zhēn de | jiù shì | chóng fù

It’s really just repetition.


孩子每天听着大人说话

hái zi | měi tiān | tīng zhe | dà rén | shuō huà

Children listen to adults speak every day,


就模仿着说

jiù | mó fǎng | zhe | shuō

and imitate them.


说错了,大人也不会批评他

shuō cuò | le | dà rén | yě | bù huì | pī píng | tā

If they say something wrong, adults won’t criticize them;


反而会夸他

fǎn ér | huì | kuā | tā

instead, they’ll praise them.


孩子就在无数的错误中,慢慢找到了正确的路

hái zi | jiù zài | wú shù | de | cuò wù | zhōng màn màn | zhǎo dào | le | zhèng què | de | lù

Children gradually find the right way through countless mistakes.


而我们在学英语的时候

ér | wǒ men | zài | xué | yīng yǔ | de | shí hou

But when we learn English,


会有无数人来批评你、纠正你

huì | yǒu | wú shù | rén | lái | pī píng | nǐ | jiū zhèng | nǐ

countless people will criticize you and correct you,


甚至嘲笑你的发音

shèn zhì | cháo xiào | nǐ | de | fā yīn

and even laugh at your pronunciation.


这样学英语就有了更大的阻碍

zhè yàng | xué | yīng yǔ | jiù | yǒu le | gèng dà | de | zǔ ài

This creates even bigger obstacles to learning English.


朋友们

péng you men

My friends,


语言只是一个交流工具

yǔ yán | zhǐ shì | yī gè | jiāo liú | gōng jù

language is just a communication tool.


大胆地去说吧

dà dǎn | de | qù | shuō | ba

Speak boldly,


不要过多地在意语法这些东西

bù yào | guò duō | de | zài yì | yǔ fǎ | zhè xiē | dōng xī

and don’t care too much about things like grammar.


如果你到过中国

rú guǒ | nǐ | dào guo | zhōng guó

If you’ve been to China,


你会发现

nǐ | huì | fā xiàn

you’ll find that


中国人对外国人的中文非常包容

zhōng guó rén | duì | wài guó rén | de | zhōng wén | fēi cháng | bāo róng

Chinese people are very tolerant of foreigners’ Chinese.


你能说个“你好”

nǐ | néng | shuō | ge | “nǐ hǎo”

If you can say "hello",


大家都觉得你好棒

dà jiā | dōu | jué de | nǐ | hǎo bàng

everyone will think you’re amazing.

Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo
Buffet 自助餐 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

那天我们去商场

nà tiān | wǒ men | qù | shāng chǎng

That day we went to the mall,


又看到了那家很大的自助餐厅

yòu | kàn dào | le | nà jiā | hěn dà | de | zì zhù cān tīng

and saw that big buffet restaurant again.


这个餐厅很多年前我们吃过

zhè ge | cān tīng | hěn duō nián qián | wǒ men | chī guo

We ate at this restaurant many years ago—


那时候一百多一个人

nà shí hou | yī bǎi duō | yī gè rén

it was over a hundred yuan per person back then,


算是高档一点的自助餐厅了

suàn shì | gāo dàng | yī diǎn | de | zì zhù cān tīng | le

which was considered a relatively high-end buffet.


菜品很丰富

cài pǐn | hěn | fēng fù

The dishes were very abundant,


有很多海鲜

yǒu | hěn duō | hǎi xiān

with plenty of seafood.


我们有很多年没吃过自助餐了

wǒ men | yǒu | hěn duō nián | méi chī guo | zì zhù cān | le

We haven’t eaten at a buffet for many years,


有几方面的原因

yǒu | jǐ fāng miàn | de | yuán yīn

for several reasons.


第一,没有新鲜感了

dì yī | méi yǒu | xīn xiān gǎn | le

First, there’s no sense of novelty anymore.


刚开始觉得很新鲜

gāng kāi shǐ | jué de | hěn | xīn xiān

At first, we thought it was very fresh;


贵的便宜的自助餐都吃过

guì de | pián yi | de | zì zhù cān | dōu | chī guo

we’ve tried both expensive and cheap buffets,


多吃几次也就那样了

duō chī | jǐ cì | yě jiù | nà yàng | le

and after eating them a few times, there’s nothing special.


第二,低质的平价自助餐厅

dì èr | dī zhì | de | píng jià | zì zhù cān tīng

Second, low-quality affordable buffets.


有很多平价的自助餐厅

yǒu | hěn duō | píng jià | de | zì zhù cān tīng

There are many affordable buffets,


一个人只需要几十元

yī gè rén | zhǐ | xū yào | jǐ shí yuán

costing only tens of yuan per person.


虽然种类也算丰富

suī rán | zhǒng lèi | yě suàn | fēng fù

Although the variety is also abundant,


但是品质堪忧

dàn shì | pǐn zhì | kān yōu

the quality is worrying—


吃过一次就不想再吃第二次

chī guo | yī cì | jiù | bù xiǎng | zài chī | dì èr cì

you won’t want to eat there a second time after trying it once.


第三,健康饮食理念

dì sān | jiàn kāng | yǐn shí | lǐ niàn

Third, the concept of healthy eating.


越来越多的人讲究健康生活

yuè lái yuè duō | de | rén | jiǎng jiū | jiàn kāng | shēng huó

More and more people pursue a healthy lifestyle,


或者是我们年龄大了

huò zhě | shì | wǒ men | nián líng | dà le

or maybe we’re getting older,


不想胡吃海塞

bù xiǎng | hú chī hǎi sāi

and don’t want to overeat.


为了“把钱吃回来”

wèi le | “bǎ qián | chī huí lái”

In order to "get your money’s worth",


要吃好多进肚子里

yào | chī | hǎo duō | jìn | dù zi | lǐ

you have to eat a lot,


对健康有害

duì | jiàn kāng | yǒu hài

which is harmful to health,


反而得不偿失

fǎn ér | dé bù cháng shī

and ultimately not worth it.


我们每次住酒店

wǒ men | měi cì | zhù | jiǔ diàn

Every time we stay at a hotel,


还是会吃自助早餐的

hái shì | huì | chī | zì zhù zǎo cān | de

we still eat the breakfast buffet,


偶尔也会吃自助晚餐

ǒu ěr | yě | huì | chī | zì zhù wǎn cān

and occasionally the dinner buffet.


五星级的自助餐还是有品质保障的

wǔ xīng jí | de | zì zhù cān | hái shì | yǒu | pǐn zhì | bǎo zhàng | de

Five-star hotel buffets still have quality assurance,


但是常常都是想大吃一顿

dàn shì | cháng cháng | dōu shì | xiǎng | dà chī | yī dùn

but we often intend to eat a big meal,


结果吃不了多少

jié guǒ | chī bù liǎo | duō shao

only to end up not being able to eat much.

Electric bikes are a bit like motorcycles,


不过摩托车是加油的

bù guò | mó tuō chē | shì | jiā yóu | de

电瓶车是充电的

You can ride them without needing a license.


我回想起来

I look back,


为什么没有早点买电瓶车呢

why didn't I buy an electric bike earlier?


电瓶车用来接送孩子也很好用

diàn dòng chē | yòng lái | jiē sòng | hái zi | yě | hěn | hǎo yòng

Electric bikes are also great for picking up and dropping off kids.


我在电瓶车后座上装了两个扶手

wǒ | zài | diàn dòng chē | hòu zuò | shàng zhuāng le | liǎng gè | fú shǒu

I installed two armrests on the back seat of the electric bike,


在我的前面加了一个专用的小凳

zài | wǒ de | qián miàn | jiā le | yī gè | zhuān yòng | de | xiǎo dèng

and added a special small stool in front of me,


这样就可以带着两个孩子了

zhè yàng | jiù | kě yǐ | dài zhe | liǎng gè | hái zi | le

so I can take both kids with me.

diàn dòng chē | de | quē diǎn | shì

The disadvantages of electric bikes are


风吹、日晒、雨淋

fēng chuī | rì shài | yǔ lín

骑起来最舒适

qí qǐ lái | zuì | shū shì

you can park wherever you want,

and it's very flexible when riding on the road.


在城市路上的电瓶车

zài | chéng shì | lù shàng | de | diàn dòng chē

Most electric bikes on urban roads


大多数都是外卖员

dà duō shù | dōu shì | wài mài yuán

are ridden by food delivery riders.


因为现在的外卖太发达了

yīn wèi | xiàn zài | de | wài mài | tài | fā dá | le

Because the food delivery industry is so developed now,


有非常多的外卖员在路上跑

yǒu | fēi cháng duō | de | wài mài yuán | zài | lù shàng | pǎo

there are a lot of delivery riders rushing on the roads.


他们的速度很快

tā men | de | sù dù | hěn kuài

They ride very fast,

Many parents ride electric bikes to pick up and drop off their kids,


还有一些骑三轮电瓶车

hái yǒu | yī xiē | qí | sān lún | diàn dòng chē

and some ride three-wheeled electric bikes.


有罩子,就不怕日晒雨淋

yǒu | zhào zi | jiù | bù pà | rì shài | yǔ lín

These have canopies, so they don't have to worry about sun and rain.


还有些三轮车全身都是金属材料

hái yǒu | xiē | sān lún chē | quán shēn | dōu shì | jīn shǔ | cái liào

Some three-wheeled bikes are made entirely of metal,


像一个迷你的小汽车

xiàng | yī gè | mí nǐ | de | xiǎo qì chē

like a mini car,


而且做得越来越漂亮

ér qiě | zuò de | yuè lái yuè | piào liang

and they are made more and more beautiful.

AI 人工智能 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

AI这个话题太热了

AI zhè ge huà tí tài rè le

The topic of AI is extremely hot.


不用多说,大家都已经知道够多了

bù yòng duō shuō, dà jiā dōu yǐ jīng zhī dào gòu duō le

Needless to say, everyone already knows quite a lot about it.


今天我们聊聊中国人对AI的应用

jīn tiān wǒ men liáo liáo zhōng guó rén duì AI de yìng yòng

Today we'll talk about how Chinese people apply AI.


AI就是人工智能

AI jiù shì rén gōng zhì néng

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence.


但我们多数时候就说AI

dàn wǒ men duō shù shí hou jiù shuō AI

But most of the time we just say AI.


就我们普通人来说

jiù wǒ men pǔ tōng rén lái shuō

For us ordinary people,


我们用得最多的AI工具

wǒ men yòng de zuì duō de AI gōng jù

the AI tools we use most often


就是写作、作图、聊天等

jiù shì xiě zuò、zuò tú、liáo tiān děng

are for writing, drawing, chatting, etc.


不管是职场人士

bù guǎn shì zhí chǎng rén shì

Whether it's professionals in the workplace


还是大学生

hái shì dà xué shēng

or college students,


基本都会用AI来写自己要交的文章

jī běn dōu huì yòng AI lái xiě zì jǐ yào jiāo de wén zhāng

most of them use AI to write the articles they need to submit.


这大大提高了效率

zhè dà dà tí gāo le xiào lǜ

This has greatly improved efficiency.


若平时需要一张图

ruò píng shí xū yào yī zhāng tú

If you need a picture in daily life,


也不需要到处去找图了

yě bù xū yào dào chù qù zhǎo tú le

you don't need to look for it everywhere anymore,


也不用担心版权问题

yě bù yòng dān xīn bǎn quán wèn tí

and you don't have to worry about copyright issues.


我以前是一个专业的UI设计师

wǒ yǐ qián shì yī gè zhuān yè de UI shè jì shī

I used to be a professional UI designer.


图片版权是一个令人头疼的问题

tú piàn bǎn quán shì yī gè lìng rén tóu téng de wèn tí

Image copyright was a troublesome issue.


现在也许就好多了

xiàn zài yě xǔ jiù hǎo duō le

Now it's probably much better.


不过AI也拿走了很多设计师的饭碗

bù guò AI yě ná zǒu le hěn duō shè jì shī de fàn wǎn

But AI has also taken away many designers' jobs.


聊天方面呢

liáo tiān fāng miàn ne

In terms of chatting,


大家会用AI来咨询一些问题

dà jiā huì yòng AI lái zī xún yī xiē wèn tí

people use AI to consult about some questions,


或者就当一个搜索引擎

huò zhě jiù dāng yī gè sōu suǒ yǐn qíng

or use it as a search engine,


或者纯粹只是打发时间

huò zhě chún cuì zhǐ shì dǎ fā shí jiān

or simply to kill time.


还有就是学习语言啦

hái yǒu jiù shì xué xí yǔ yán la

There's also language learning:


和AI聊天可以练习口语

hé AI liáo tiān kě yǐ liàn xí kǒu yǔ

chatting with AI can practice oral language.


但是如果自己本身没有大量的输入

dàn shì rú guǒ zì jǐ běn shēn méi yǒu dà liàng de shū rù

But if you don't have a lot of input yourself,


就没有大的作用

jiù méi yǒu dà de zuò yòng

it won't be very effective.


AI输出的文字内容

AI shū chū de wén zì nèi róng

The text content output by AI


目前还比较呆板

mù qián hái bǐ jiào dāi bǎn

is still relatively rigid at present.


可以说,一看就很AI

kě yǐ shuō, yī kàn jiù hěn AI

It can be said that it looks very "AI-generated" at a glance.


网上到处都在说

wǎng shàng dào chù dōu zài shuō

People are talking everywhere online about


AI给人类带来的威胁

AI gěi rén lèi dài lái de wēi xié

the threats that AI brings to humanity:


会造成非常多的失业

huì zào chéng fēi cháng duō de shī yè

it will cause a lot of unemployment,


会改变新一代的教育模式

huì gǎi biàn xīn yī dài de jiào yù mó shì

and will change the education model of the new generation.


也许只有理发师、厨师这样的职业

yě xǔ zhǐ yǒu lǐ fà shī、chú shī zhè yàng de zhí yè

Perhaps only occupations like barbers and chefs


不容易被AI替代吧

as the announced autumn vacation is in mid-November.


我们还以为幼儿园不包含在内

wǒ men | hái | yǐ wéi | yòu ér yuán | bù | bāo hán | zài nèi

We thought kindergartens wouldn’t be included,


可是我们还是接到了老师的电话

And a large part of families


是老人带娃

rely on the elderly to take care of the kids.


这个现象在中国非常普遍

Pomegranates are a fruit of autumn.


现在冬天没石榴啦

xiàn zài | dōng tiān | méi | shí liu | la

There are no pomegranates in winter now.


(现在)不是秋天吗

(xiàn zài) | bù shì | qiū tiān | ma

Isn’t it autumn now?


又不是冬天,今天是秋天

yòu | bù shì | dōng tiān | jīn tiān | shì | qiū tiān

It’s not winter—today is autumn.


现在肯定没吃石榴了吧

xiàn zài | kěn dìng | méi | chī | shí liu | le | ba

There must be no pomegranates to eat now, right?


春夏秋冬

chūn | xià | qiū | dōng

Spring, summer, autumn, winter.


对呀

duì ya

That’s right.


最后一个就是冬天啦

zuì hòu | yī gè | jiù shì | dōng tiān | la

The last one is winter.


现在就该吃柚子啦

xiàn zài | jiù gāi | chī | yòu zi | la

Now it’s time to eat pomelos.


柚子是哪天[哪个季节]成熟的

yòu zi | shì | nǎ tiān | [nǎ ge | jì jié] | chéng shú | de

Which season do pomelos ripen in?


是春天还是夏天还是秋天还是冬天

Yes, it’s autumn!


秋天冬天就一直在吃柚子

qiū tiān | dōng tiān | jiù | yī zhí | zài | chī | yòu zi

We eat pomelos constantly from autumn to winter.


柚子(我)觉得好好吃呀

yòu zi | (wǒ) | jué de | hǎo hǎo chī | ya

I think pomelos are so delicious.


我都流口水了

wǒ | dōu | liú kǒu shuǐ | le

I’m already salivating.


妈妈今天又买了一个

mā ma | jīn tiān | yòu | mǎi le | yī gè

Mom bought another one today.


明天剥起来吃哈

míng tiān | bō qǐ lái | chī | hā

We’ll peel and eat it tomorrow.


那是我们买了好柚子

nà | shì | wǒ men | mǎi le | hǎo | yòu zi

We bought good pomelos—


那些不好的柚子还很酸呢

nà xiē | bù hǎo | de | yòu zi | hái | hěn | suān | ne

those bad ones are still very sour.


你猜为什么我流了很多口水

nǐ | cāi | wèi shén me | wǒ | liú le | hěn duō | kǒu shuǐ

Guess why I’m salivating so much?


因为有很多水果

yīn wèi | yǒu | hěn duō | shuǐ guǒ

Because there are a lot of fruits,


因为有很多很多好吃的水果

yīn wèi | yǒu | hěn duō | hěn duō | hǎo chī | de | shuǐ guǒ

because there are so many delicious fruits.


好了,这个专栏怎么样呢

The Truman Show 楚门的世界 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

你看过电影《楚门的世界》吗

nǐ | kàn guo | diàn yǐng | 《chǔ mén de shì jiè》 | ma

Have you seen the movie "The Truman Show"?


这是一部非常好的电影

zhè | shì | yī bù | fēi cháng hǎo | de | diàn yǐng

It’s a really great movie.


在中国的电影评分网站上

zài | zhōng guó | de | diàn yǐng píng fēn wǎng zhàn | shàng

On China’s movie rating website,


长期获得很高的评分

cháng qī | huò dé | hěn gāo | de | píng fēn

it has maintained a high score for a long time.


我已经看过不止一遍了

wǒ | yǐ jīng | kàn guo | bù zhǐ | yī biàn | le

I have watched it more than once.


楚门过了30年平静的生活

chǔ mén | guò le | 30 nián | píng jìng | de | shēng huó

Truman lived a peaceful life for 30 years,


他突然发现,这世界有些bug

tā | tū rán | fā xiàn | zhè | shì jiè | yǒu xiē | bug

when he suddenly noticed some "bugs" in the world.


真相是,他的生活是一场全程直播的真人秀

zhēn xiàng | shì | tā | de | shēng huó | shì | yī chǎng | quán chéng zhí bō | de | zhēn rén xiù

The truth is, his life is a reality show broadcast live in its entirety.


城市环境都是布景

chéng shì | huán jìng | dōu shì | bù jǐng

The urban environment is all set decorations,


所有人都是演员

suǒ yǒu rén | dōu shì | yǎn yuán

and everyone around him are actors and actresses.


为了不剧透

wèi le | bù | jù tòu

To avoid spoilers,


我就不讲更多剧情内容了

wǒ | jiù | bù jiǎng | gèng duō | jù qíng nèi róng | le

I won’t share more plot details.


这个电影最让我们感慨的是

zhè ge | diàn yǐng | zuì | ràng | wǒ men | gǎn kǎi | de | shì

What strikes us most about this movie is:


我们的世界是不是也是一个“楚门的世界”

wǒ men | de | shì jiè | shì bù shì | yě shì | yī gè | “chǔ mén de shì jiè”

Is our world also a "Truman Show"?


这很有可能

zhè | hěn | yǒu kě néng

It’s quite possible.


我们来看看网友们的短评

wǒ men | lái | kàn kàn | wǎng yǒu men | de | duǎn píng

Let’s take a look at netizens’ short reviews:


每个人都向往自由而不仅仅是安定

měi gè rén | dōu | xiàng wǎng | zì yóu | ér | bù jǐn jǐn | shì | ān dìng

Everyone yearns for freedom, not just stability.


楚门之外的世界,又会有怎么样的窥探?

chǔ mén | zhī wài | de | shì jiè | yòu | huì | yǒu | zěn me yàng | de | kuī tàn?

What kind of prying will there be in the world outside Truman’s?


最怕的是,我们永远无法求证自己身处在哪个世界。

zuì pà | de | shì | wǒ men | yǒng yuǎn | wú fǎ | qiú zhèng | zì jǐ | shēn chǔ | zài | nǎ ge | shì jiè。

The scariest thing is that we can never prove which world we are in.


再虚无的美好也无法困住自由的心灵

zài | xū wú | de | měi hǎo | yě | wú fǎ | kùn zhù | zì yóu | de | xīn líng

No matter how illusory the beauty is, it can never trap a free soul.


假如生活欺骗了你,也要鼓起勇气做回自己

jiǎ rú | shēng huó | qī piàn | le | nǐ | yě | yào | gǔ qǐ | yǒng qì | zuò huí | zì jǐ

If life deceives you, still summon the courage to be yourself.


你无法在我的脑子里安上摄像头

nǐ | wú fǎ | zài | wǒ | de | nǎo zi | lǐ | ān shàng | shè xiàng tóu

You can’t install a camera in my mind.


逃离已知世界的勇气令人敬佩

táo lí | yǐ zhī | shì jiè | de | yǒng qì | lìng rén | jìng pèi

The courage to escape the known world is admirable.


我决定把这部电影归到我的恐怖片范畴

wǒ | jué dìng | bǎ | zhè bù | diàn yǐng | guī dào | wǒ | de | kǒng bù piàn | fàn chóu

I’ve decided to categorize this movie as a horror film.


这片真正的反派不是导演 而是电视机前的你我他

zhè piàn | zhēn zhèng | de | fǎn pài | bù shì | dǎo yǎn | ér shì | diàn shì jī | qián | de | nǐ wǒ tā

The real villain of this film isn’t the director, but you, me, and everyone in front of the TV.


你如何证明,你不是另一个楚门呢?

nǐ | rú hé | zhèng míng | nǐ | bù shì | lìng yī gè | chǔ mén | ne?

How do you prove that you’re not another Truman?

Stock Trading 炒股 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

最近中国的股市正在上涨

zuì jìn zhōng guó de gǔ shì zhèng zài shàng zhǎng

Recently, China's stock market has been rising.

 

可以说,这是一次牛市

kě yǐ shuō, zhè shì yī cì niú shì

It can be said that this is a bull market.

 

很多人都说

hěn duō rén dōu shuō

Many people say that

 

这次股市的上涨并不是经济的好转

zhè cì gǔ shì de shàng zhǎng bìng bù shì jīng jì de hǎo zhuǎn

the rise in the stock market this time is not due to economic improvement,

 

因为整体经济仍然很低迷

yīn wèi zhěng tǐ jīng jì réng rán hěn dī mí

because the overall economy is still sluggish,

 

也没有看到经济回暖的迹象

yě méi yǒu kàn dào jīng jì huí nuǎn de jì xiàng

and there are no signs of economic recovery.

 

把钱投进股市里运作的行为

bǎ qián tóu jìn gǔ shì lǐ yùn zuò de xíng wéi

The act of investing money in the stock market for operation

 

就叫炒股

jiù jiào chǎo gǔ

is called stock trading.

 

我们把自己个人炒股的人

wǒ men bǎ zì jǐ gè rén chǎo gǔ de rén

We call individuals who trade stocks by themselves

 

叫做散户

jiào zuò sǎn hù

retail investors.

 

而相对应的

ér xiāng duì yìng de

Correspondingly,

 

专业的炒股组织

zhuān yè de chǎo gǔ zǔ zhī

professional stock trading organizations

 

叫做机构

jiào zuò jī gòu

are called institutional investors.

 

中国有非常非常多的散户

zhōng guó yǒu fēi cháng fēi cháng duō de sǎn hù

There are a huge number of retail investors in China.

 

大家都想通过股市赚钱

dà jiā dōu xiǎng tōng guò gǔ shì zhuàn qián

Everyone wants to make money through the stock market,

 

甚至财富自由

shèn zhì cái fù zì yóu

even achieve financial freedom.

 

但有很多的人亏得血本无归

dàn yǒu hěn duō de rén kuī de xuè běn wú guī

But many people have lost all their money.

 

也许是因为贪念吧

yě xǔ shì yīn wèi tān niàn ba

Maybe it's because of greed.

 

不过我了解的通过股市赚了大钱的人也不少

bù guò wǒ liǎo jiě de tōng guò gǔ shì zhuàn le dà qián de rén yě bù shǎo

However, I also know quite a few people who have made a lot of money through the stock market.

 

我读研时的一个老师

wǒ dú yán shí de yī gè lǎo shī

A teacher of mine when I was in graduate school

 

就靠炒股买房买车

jiù kào chǎo gǔ mǎi fáng mǎi chē

bought houses and cars by trading stocks.

 

他的一个朋友

tā de yī gè péng you

A friend of his

 

更是利用杠杆

gèng shì lì yòng gàng gǎn

even used leverage

 

用几十万炒到上亿

yòng jǐ shí wàn chǎo dào shàng yì

to turn hundreds of thousands of yuan into over 100 million yuan through stock trading,

 

直接财富自由了

zhí jiē cái fù zì yóu le

achieved financial freedom directly.

 

我家旁边有一个渔具店

wǒ jiā páng biān yǒu yī gè yú jù diàn

There is a fishing tackle shop next to my house.

 

店铺非常小

diàn pù fēi cháng xiǎo

The shop is very small,

 

乱七八糟的

luàn qī bā zāo de

messy and cluttered,

 

里面只有老板一个人

lǐ miàn zhǐ yǒu lǎo bǎn yī gè rén

with only the boss inside.

 

他说钓鱼是他的爱好

tā shuō diào yú shì tā de ài hào

He said fishing is his hobby,

 

他不靠这个店赚钱

tā bù kào zhè ge diàn zhuàn qián

and he doesn't make money from this shop.

 

他靠的是炒股

tā kào de shì chǎo gǔ

He makes money by trading stocks.

 

他每天就坐在狭窄的店里

tā měi tiān jiù zuò zài xiá zhǎi de diàn lǐ

Every day he sits in the narrow shop,

 

对着电脑炒股

duì zhe diàn nǎo chǎo gǔ

trading stocks in front of the computer.

 

我觉得这样只剩下炒股的生活

wǒ jué de zhè yàng zhǐ shèng xià chǎo gǔ de shēng huó

I think such a life that only revolves around stock trading

 

很糟糕

hěn zāo gāo

is very bad.

  

由于我的文字稿内容很多

yóu yú | wǒ de | wén zì gǎo | nèi róng | hěn duō

Because the content of my script is very extensive,

 

常常无法展示完全

cháng cháng | wú fǎ | zhǎn shì | wán quán

it often cannot be fully displayed.

 

所以我打算把文稿放在patreon上

suǒ yǐ | wǒ | dǎ suàn | bǎ | wén gǎo | fàng zài | patreon | shàng

So I plan to put the script on Patreon,

 

或者做一个网站来展示文稿

huò zhě | zuò | yī gè | wǎng zhàn | lái | zhǎn shì | wén gǎo

or create a website to display the script.

 

又或者,这个网站可以包括

yòu huò zhě | zhè ge | wǎng zhàn | kě yǐ | bāo kuò

Or perhaps this website can include

 

所有的播客内容和文稿

suǒ yǒu de | bō kè | nèi róng | hé | wén gǎo

all the podcast content and scripts.

 

你有什么建议吗

Parking Is Too Difficult 停车太难了 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

你还记得

nǐ hái jì de

Do you still remember

 

在之前的节目里

zài zhī qián de jié mù lǐ

in the previous episodes,

 

我说,找陪练练开车吗

wǒ shuō, zhǎo péi liàn liàn kāi chē ma

when I said I found a driving instructor to practice driving?

 

我已经练了三次

wǒ yǐ jīng liàn le sān cì

I have practiced three times,

 

基本会开了

jī běn huì kāi le

and I can basically drive now.

 

我自己也开了几次

wǒ zì jǐ yě kāi le jǐ cì

I have also driven by myself several times.

 

有导航,开在路上还比较顺利

yǒu dǎo háng, kāi zài lù shàng hái bǐ jiào shùn lì

With navigation, driving on the road is quite smooth.

 

可是那天我在停车场

kě shì nà tiān wǒ zài tíng chē chǎng

But that day in the parking lot,

 

把车屁股撞烂了

bǎ chē pì gǔ zhuàng làn le

I smashed the rear of the car.

 

真是伤心呀

zhēn shí shāng xīn ya

I was really sad.

 

修车可能要花几千元呢

xiū chē kě néng yào huā jǐ qiān yuán ne

Repairing the car may cost several thousand yuan.

 

但是我老公没去修

dàn shì wǒ lǎo gōng méi qù xiū

But my husband didn't get it repaired.

 

他说我还会撞的

tā shuō wǒ hái huì zhuàng de

He said I would crash again,

 

到时候一起修

dào shí hou yī qǐ xiū

and we can get it repaired together then.

 

停车真是太难了

tíng chē zhēn shì tài nán le

Parking is really too difficult.

 

停车有两种

tíng chē yǒu liǎng zhǒng

There are two types of parking:

 

一种叫倒车入库

yī zhǒng jiào dào chē rù kù

one is called reverse parking,

 

一种叫侧方位停车

yī zhǒng jiào cè fāng wèi tíng chē

and the other is called parallel parking.

 

如果两边没车

rú guǒ liǎng biān méi chē

If there are no cars on either side,

 

或者只有一边有车

huò zhě zhǐ yǒu yī biān yǒu chē

or only on one side,

 

那我可以慢慢停好

nà wǒ kě yǐ màn màn tíng hǎo

I can park slowly and properly,

 

每次都要调整好久

měi cì dōu yào tiáo zhěng hǎo jiǔ

but I have to adjust for a long time every time.

 

开车十分钟,停车半小时

kāi chē shí fēn zhōng, tíng chē bàn xiǎo shí

It takes ten minutes to drive, but half an hour to park.

 

如果两边都有车

rú guǒ liǎng biān dōu yǒu chē

If there are cars on both sides,

 

那我就不敢停了

nà wǒ jiù bù gǎn tíng le

I don't dare to park.

 

所以我都不敢开到商场去

suǒ yǐ wǒ dōu bù gǎn kāi dào shāng chǎng qù

So I don't dare to drive to the mall.

 

上次把车屁股撞了

shàng cì bǎ chē pì gǔ zhuàng le

The last time I smashed the rear of the car,

 

就是在我们新房子的地下车库里

jiù shì zài wǒ men xīn fáng zi de dì xià chē kù lǐ

it was in the underground parking lot of our new house.

 

可能是太黑了

kě néng shì tài hēi le

Maybe it was too dark,

 

我的视力也不太好

wǒ de shì lì yě bù tài hǎo

and my eyesight is not very good.

 

散光很严重

sàn guāng hěn yán zhòng

I have severe astigmatism.

 

好像雷达也没报警

hǎo xiàng léi dá yě méi bào jǐng

It seems the radar didn't alarm either,

 

就撞到后面柱子了

jiù zhuàng dào hòu miàn zhù zi le

so I hit the pillar behind.

 

我老公一定很心疼

wǒ lǎo gōng yī dìng hěn xīn téng

My husband must have been very distressed,

 

因为他一直很爱护这个车

yīn wèi tā yì zhí hěn ài hù zhè ge chē

because he has always taken good care of this car.

 

一点擦挂都不能容忍

yī diǎn cā guà dōu bù néng róng rěn

He can't tolerate even a slight scratch.

 

可是他也只能忍住生气

kě shì tā yě zhǐ néng rěn zhù shēng qì

But he could only hold back his anger,

 

反而安慰我

fǎn ér ān wèi wǒ

and comforted me instead.

 

我们这个车是奔驰的七座车

wǒ men zhè ge chē shì bēn chí de qī zuò chē

Our car is a seven-seater Mercedes-Benz.

 

比较大

bǐ jiào dà

It's quite big,

 

开起来会比较有安全感

kāi qǐ lái huì bǐ jiào yǒu ān quán gǎn

so driving it gives a greater sense of security,

 

但是停车就更难了

dàn shì tíng chē jiù gèng nán le

but parking is even more difficult.

 

如果以后能给我自己买个小车

rú guǒ yǐ hòu néng gěi wǒ zì jǐ mǎi gè xiǎo chē

If I can buy a small car for myself in the future,

 

可能就好停车了

kě néng jiù hǎo tíng chē le

parking might be easier.

 

你有什么停车的经验吗

nǐ yǒu shén me tíng chē de jīng yàn ma

Do you have any parking experience to share?
