Hey guys, it's Gossip English time.尬聊英语时间又到了。This is Yao. And I'm Wing. Let's learn English through Gossip.
Hey Wing, Christmas has passed. How did you spend your Christmas?
Well, usually I would spend it with my friends and family. We would have potluck.就是大家做一道菜,然后到一个地方聚在一起。就是potluck. So that is what I usually would do on Christmas. It's a gathering time of family and friends. And also with a lot of good food and of course, mulled wine,就是热红酒。So that is my usual Christmas would be like. What about you?
Yeah, when I was abroad actually, I also spent Christmas with friends. And also I just had a feast, Christmas feast.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Yeah.
But this year I did something different.
What?
I ended up helping raise money for homeless people and spend the night out on the streets, handing out food and clothes.
Oh, that sounds very meaningful. Why you came up with this thought?
Well, when we mention Christmas, of course you would think about exchanging gifts. That is one of the rituals of Christmas, right?
Yeah, and also the most exciting part, right?
Yeah, exactly. So this year I feel like, well, I usually exchange gifts with my friends and family. How about extending it a little bit further since the economics is so bad this year and last year? And I feel like helping out others who need help. That's why I participated this event.
Wow, you are so sweet. Yeah, so how did you help them?
Well, as I mentioned, we didn't give any money out. We just handed out food and clothes. When we did that, we were required to stay eye level talking with them. Like if they are sitting, then we have to squat down to make sure they feel we are equal. It's not like we give something to them, but more like we were helping out them. So that's not just handing out food and clothes, but also how we were required to do that. And every detail matters.

Well, in 2024, it felt like, for me, full of possibility, yet shrouded in uncertainty. I tried out so many different things. You know, the usual mix of ambition and spontaneous goals. And of course, for me, the first big leap is this podcast. This very podcast. Gossip English.
Sure.
Yeah, it seemed like a wild idea at first. Here we are. We are still here. We're still trying our best to update our podcast. And that is something great in 2024 for me. But like any great story, 2024 also threw me a curveball. A sad one. My dog, Ziva, passed away. There was a time I stopped mentioning my dog in this podcast because she passed away. And I wasn't ready to talk about her yet. But now I guess I felt much better. It was unexpected. And honestly, it was like a punch to the gut. But something happened. I met so many interesting people, you know, during the whole year. And people who remind me that life doesn't stop because it gets hard. And I found a lot of interesting souls with great stories, passions, and ideas. It felt like the universe was reminding me don't give up yet. Even though all those hardships and difficulties. So just like you, I started to truly get to know myself. I know what I'm good at and what I'm not good at. And I'm okay with it. Instead of beating myself up about it, I started making peace with my imperfections. So yeah, it's okay to be a work-in- progress. So it's all right.
Yeah, those are very powerful words. And I have to say great minds think alike. So Wing, have you read my script earlier? Why you have just said the same thing like me?
That's why we have the podcast together, right?
Yeah.
I guess we sort of compared to others. We have very similar experiences in our life so far. And also the podcast is not only for the listeners, but also for us. It's kind of like a huge reflection of our past life. Not past life, it sounds so wrong.
Life in the past.
Yeah, the life in the past, not past life.就不是, past life means 前世.

Because this is not even a job. It is a job, but it's not even a job that we can earn money from, right? And to be honest, we still need to make a living for our life. So when our work conflicts with this podcast, there was a time, probably some of you may know, we stopped updating our podcast for a while. And then we sent out another episode. Thank you for your patience. It's really important to us. And also thank you for all the chasing us to update our podcast. Thank you for all the chasing as well.
Yeah, exactly. Every time I read the comment, I just feel encouraged and inspired. And it pushes me to keep improving and creating. So that's why I said we've come so far and it's all thanks to the continuous support from you, our friends.
这是我跟Wing的话，其实我们在今年做这个播客之后的话，我们有一段时间都真的特别特别忙，然后两个人都其实，也是在说，那我们也不能辜负我们的听众，因为每一次你们都会给我们留下非常暖心的评论，就是说”我等你很久了”,或者是说，”我一直在听你们，然后你们一定要继续做下去”，你们是不是怕我们不更新?
谢谢你们的督促跟支持
对，所以其实这也给了我很大的动力，就是要一直在想说要怎么样去提高我们的这个播客质量，然后也可以传递出我们的一些人生感悟，还有一些比较有用的一些知识，所以就，谢谢你们
Yeah, it means a lot to us. So because we are at the end of 2024. And besides our podcast, what else in 2024 you think is the most unforgettable?
Well, for me, actually, this year, after making this podcast, and I recalled a lot of memories, a lot of stories of me, and also my past experience. And I think I learned something from this. It's about embracing the past and accepting who I am. There were times when I regretted some of the decisions I made, thinking about how things could have turned out differently. Like what if I didn't make this decision? What if I didn't experience this? What if I chose to be someone else? Yeah, so I have a lot of thoughts. But now I realized that every experience, good or bad, has shaped me into who I am today. And I've learned to accept who I am. And I also want to be who I am.
That's cool. That's really cool. It's really good for you.
Yeah. So how about you?

【转录6/17】【14:51-17:52】
And they offered this kind of help to support, to help them go through the hardest time. So I think this is a very meaningful move because just like what you said, you give a hand to those who are in need. Maybe one day you will get the help from people when you are in need.
Yeah, givers gains.
就是我刚才分享的一个经历，就是我在疫情期间的话，我待在印尼那里。然后呢，因为我们当时为了控制疫情的话，我们当时有一些指标，这些指标合格之后，然后我们才能登机回家。那当时的话，因为有一些人，他的指标不太正常，所以他们就要留在当地，有些他被送去隔离酒店，那大家也知道隔离酒店的话，肯定不会像家那么舒服。所以当地有一些慈善的组织，他就是为了帮助这些人的话，就筹集资金，然后买那些盒饭，然后送到隔离酒店，给这些在外飘荡的人。所以我就觉得，这个举动其实是非常非常暖心的，那不仅仅只是Christmas，不仅仅只是圣诞节，就是你在别人低谷的时候，给别人帮了一把的话，那可能就是对他整个人生就改变了，所以我就说，这个行为是非常好的，这个初心也是非常好。
Yeah, it's very heartwarming. You never know when you need help. And for all of us, as a human being, we do hope when we need help, someone can help us out. And it's normal because we are not alone and we can't be alone. So we hope we can help each other out in the hardship, in a difficult time.
We need help right now. Subscribe us!
这来得很突然。
Because the topic is so depressing. I don't want people like, Oh my gosh, why do we have to talk about this at the end of this year? Okay, I'm so sorry. But anyway, actually, after talking about this heavy topic, and just now we expressed gratitude to our family and friends, right? Right now, I also want to share my thoughts. Actually, this year, I experienced a lot of heartwarming moments, especially for our podcast.
Wow, okay. What are they?
Well, actually, to be honest, this is my first time to be a content creator. And we launched this podcast in April. And so far, we've produced over 30 episodes. Now we are about to hit 3,000 followers on 小宇宙, which is incredible. So I really want to show my gratitude to all of you, to our audience.
Yeah, and we've got a lot of very supportive messages and comments from our friends, who we know or not know. It doesn't matter. You're all our friends. For your support and rapports, it's really important for us.

【转录5/17】【11:58-14:47】
Sometimes I wonder if I end up like them, just another face in a crowd with no one to help. I mean, the thing is some of those people didn't want to be where they were. It's not like this is what they choose to be, right? I mean, probably some did. I can't say for sure. But most of them didn't want to be where they were right now. And it's just bad luck. And probably just like the world turned its back on them. And they had to find a way to survive.
Wow, such a heavy topic, huh?
Yeah. So I feel like you said, as what Yao just mentioned, I feel like I'm pretty lucky as well to have what I have right now. I feel really grateful of everything. And some people's luck just runs out. So I feel like if I can help them out, maybe just give them a hand sometimes, probably they can just crawl all the way back in the world. You never know. So for me, that kind of little help is critical.就是有时候在低谷的时候，拉你一把，那是很重要的。你会觉得就是那么拉你一把，可能你就在那坑里面出来了。但是如果没有人给你这一个手，然后你就可能一直待在那坑里，那很难自己出来。所以，所以我觉得，力所能及，做些事情也是蛮好的
对，所以我就说，你肯定会走大运的，因为有这个善心
希望大家都有大运，听我们播客的人都能行大运
Yeah. Actually, when Wing, your experience reminds me of something.
Yeah, what is it?
During the pandemic, I was in Indonesia. And actually at that time, the criteria to board on the plane was very, very critical. Somehow, if your index in your report is abnormal, then you cannot just go back home. I mean, this is reasonable because you know, we have to control the disease, right? So I think it is understandable, so it's okay. But actually at that time, many people, they had the abnormal data in their report. That's why they have to stay in Indonesia for a very long time to wait. Some of them were sent to the quarantine hotels. And you know, the food there was not good. And also, their living condition, of course, is not as good as home. That's why at that time, the local charity, they tried to help these people. Then they raised money and also bought the lunch boxes for the people who were quarantined in the hotel.

【转录4/17】【8:44-11:57】
So this documentary is about the very rich elite people in Hong Kong try to live with the minimum wage or with the minimum survival conditions. Just let them experience that and just to see if they can make a difference out of it. Can they change their “fate” or their living environment and stuff like that?
那其实刚才Wing有提到一个纪录片，然后这个纪录片也是让她产生了一个兴趣去做纪录片，就是我们所说的，在香港有一个节目叫做《穷富翁大作战》，那在那个纪录片当中的话，就是那些富翁，站在金字塔上面的人，他们去体会一下那些底层人们的工作，然后就看一下他们能不能翻身，就凭借他们的努力。但是后来发现，其实是根本就不能的
好难
对，你想想，我们要看远方，但是我们也要看眼前是不是，所以的话，就算我们有很远大的梦想，但是我们首先要填饱我们肚子，我们要为我们的三餐而奔波，那在这个情况下的话，其实你就根本没有什么精力，或是没有什么机遇，然后再去翻身了
对，就是对于可能一些精英来说，最宝贵的是时间，对对底层的人来说，可能最不值钱就是时间
对。
So pretty bad. In that documentary, it kind of made me think that for most of the elites, the most valuable thing in their life would be their time. But for those at the bottom of the society, probably the most valueless thing would be their time. I know that sucks, but it's kind of true. I mean, when you are just working so hard and barely can satisfy your belly, you probably wouldn't think too much about how can I have a great business, how can I have a great job, stuff like that. You probably just like, ok , I just need your bread and butter for today and probably tomorrow.
Yeah, exactly. Just thinking about, for example, when I need to commute, and I can take the metro or I can take the taxi. But sometimes to save time, I just want to take the taxi because I can do more things. But for the taxi drivers, spending time inside the taxi is their job. It's how they make the money. So this is a very huge contrast.
Yeah, I know. We are spoiled.
Yeah, I have to admit that. That's why I always say my experience, my life, my so-called success owes to the help of my parents and friends. 就是我一直觉得，我个人的一个际遇，或者是所谓的成功，或者是所谓的一些比较好的一些经历，其实都是归功于我父母的一个帮助，还有我朋友的一个帮助，我一直觉得我自己是站在巨人的肩上去看世界。
Yeah, it's totally true. It sometimes makes me think if I didn't have the rapport of my family, if I didn't have friends that I can lean on, where would I be?
