Some say it is more of a social experience. Some believe it provides addictive pleasure. Some think it is one of the most significant winter games. Yes, we are talking about skiing. Listen to the episode and find out more about this star Olympic sport!
 This is a sideline mini-series of Takeaway Chinese, called Niuniu's Winter Olympics classroom. In this bonus mini-season, we talk about the 7 major sports of the 2022 Winter Olympics and some culture elements of the Games. We also have a stop-motion animation version on our Facebook page Learn Chinese, make sure to check them out!

 我们拍了一个介绍冬奥运动项目的定格动画！拍摄过程的确是困难重重。需要先设计动画脚本，然后做出对应的人物和场景，再拍摄无数张照片，最后把照片连起来变成动画。
 We shot a stop-motion animated video to introduce the Winter Olympic sports! The shooting process is indeed fraught with difficulties. We had to design an animation script first, then make the corresponding characters and scenes, and take countless photos, and finally connect the photos together into animation.

 啊，你看出来了。我今天的确有点紧张，今天是我一个重要考试倒计时20天。
 Ah, you can tell? I am really a little nervous today. Today is my 20-day countdown to an important exam.

 放松一点，心平气和才能超常发挥。别自己加压了。再说，你为什么会倒计时啊？我以为只有饭店上菜才会倒计时呢！
 Relax. Only when you keep calm can you outperform yourself. Don't stress yourself up. Besides, why are you counting down? I thought countdown only happens when the restaurant tries to show they served food fast!
 Dàojìshí/néng/gěi wǒ/ānquán gǎn, ràng/wǒ/juéde/shēnghuó/méiyǒu/ shīkòng.
 倒计时能给我安全感，让我觉得生活没有失控。
 The countdown can give me a sense of security and make me feel that my life is not out of control.

 哎呀，我这边现在信号不太好，声音有一些断断续续，画面也卡住不动了。
 Ah, the signal on my side is not very good now, the sound is intermittent, and the picture is stuck.

 那可能是因为网络条件不好，要不然我们换成电话沟通吧！
 That may be because the network conditions are not good, otherwise, we'd better communicate by phone instead.

Nǐ/ zài/ yī biān/ cān jiā wǎng luò/ huì yì/ yī biān/ xiě zuò yè/ me?
 你在一边参加网络会议一边写作业么？
 Are you doing your homework while attending an online meeting?

 是啊，怎么啦？这和一边开车一边听音乐、一边看电视一边吃饭没有差别啊。
 Yeah, why? It's no different from listening to music while driving, watching TV and eating at the same time.
 
 Dāng rán/ bù yī yàng/ le. Zhè xiē/ shì qing/ dōu/ bù xū yào/ quán shén guàn zhù/ suǒ yǐ/ cái néng/ yī xīn èr yòng.
 当然不一样了！这些事情都不需要全神贯注，所以才能一心二用。
 Of course it's different! You don't need to concentrate on these things, so you can do two things at once.
 
 Hā hā/ wǒ/ shì/ yī biān/ tīng jiǎng zuò/ yī biān/ liàn zì/ yě/ dōu/ bù/ fèi nǎo zi.
 哈哈，我是一边听讲座，一边练字，也都不费脑子。
 Haha, I was listening to the lecture and practicing calligraphy at the same time, I didn't think or concentrate on either.

Nǐ/ kàn dào/xiǎo qū/mén kǒu/xīn kāi de/jìn kǒu/shí pǐn/chāo shì/le me?
 你看到小区门口新开的进口食品超市了么？

 看到了啊。开业第一天我就去采购了！店里的零食物美价廉，生产日期也很近，我应该会成为回头客的。
 
 Wǒ/jué de/zhè jǐ nián/jìn kǒu/shāng pǐn/yuè lái yuè/pián yi/, yě/yuè lái yuè/róng yì/mǎi dào/le.
 我觉得，这几年进口商品越来越便宜，也越来越容易买到了。

 是的，中国整体关税大幅下降，所以进口商品、服务和投资都欣欣向荣。
 
 Jīng jì/quán qiú huà/zhēn bù cuò.
 经济全球化真不错。

Wèi shén me/ yǒu/ zhè me duō/ rì zi/ yào/ qìng zhù/ a?/ Qíng rén jié/ shēng rì/ hái yǒu/ hǎo duō/ jì niàn rì!
 Why are there so many days to celebrate? Valentine's Day, birthdays, and so many anniversaries!

 Celebrating anniversaries can add a sense of ritual to life, as long as you wish for, ordinary days can also glow!
 
 Nà/ jì niàn rì/ yīng gāi/ sòng/ shén me/ lǐ wù/ a.
 What gift should I give for the anniversary then?
 
 Nà/ yào/ kàn/ shì/ shén me/ jì niàn rì/ la./ Bǐ rú/ jié hūn/ jì niàn rì/ kě yǐ/ sòng / huā/ rù zhí/ yī zhōu nián/ kě yǐ/ mǎi/ dàn gāo/ bān jiā/ wǔ shí/ zhōu nián/ kě yǐ/… zài/ huàn/ gè/ xīn/ zhù chù!
 That depends on what anniversary it is! For example, you can send flowers for wedding anniversaries, buy cakes for your first anniversary into your job, and for your 50th anniversary moving to your home, well, you can get a new place!

Nǐ/ jīng yàn/ fēn xiǎng huì/ de/ jiǎng huà gǎo/ xiě wán/ le me?
 xiě wán le a，PPT yě zuò wán le，bù guò wǒ xiǎng zài měi huà yī xià.
 你经验分享会的讲话稿写完了么？写完了啊，PPT也做完了，不过我想再美化一下。
 Have you finished your speech for the experience-sharing meeting? It's done, and so is PPT, but I want to beautify it a bit more.

 没有，只是我觉得这样更好。我还准备了小视频，尽善尽美嘛。
 No, it's just that I think it's better this way. I also prepared a little video, you know, make it as good as it gets!
 
 Zěn me/ bù zhī bù jué/ jiù/ juǎn qǐ lái/ le!
 怎么不知不觉就卷起来了……
 How come all of a sudden, it's becoming a hypercompetitive task?

Nǐ/ xǐ huan/ zuò fàn/ me?
 你喜欢做饭么？
 Do you like cooking?

 一般，不是特别喜欢，但是我喜欢烘焙。软乎乎香喷喷刚出炉的小面包太治愈了。
 Only so so, not very much, but I like baking. Soft, delicious, freshly baked buns are so healing.
 
 Wǒ/ xǐ huan/ zuò fàn/ yě shì/ yīn wèi/ zhè gè/ rèn zhēn/ pēng rèn/ de shí hou/ fǎng fú/ suǒ yǒu/ de/ fán nǎo/ dōu/ xiāo shī/ le./ Rèn zhēn/ qiē cài/ bèi liào/ rán hòu/ jiān chǎo pēng zhá/ tài/ jiě yā/ le.
 我喜欢做饭也是因为这个。认真烹饪的时候，仿佛所有的烦恼都消失了！认真切菜备料，然后煎炒烹炸，太解压了！
 That's why I like cooking. When cooking carefully, it seems that all the troubles have disappeared! Carefully cut vegetables and prepare ingredients, and then use all the different cooking methods. It's such a good way of relieving stress!

Nǐ/ jīn nián/ shuāng shí yī/ mǎi le xiē/ shén me?
 What did you buy on the Double Eleven Day this year?

 Zhè xiē/ dà jiàn/ shāng pǐn/ zhé kòu/ lì dù/ dí què/ bǐ jiào/ dà/ dàn/ wàn yī/ yǒu/ zhì liàng/ wèn tí/ zěn me bàn?
 It is true that there is a bigger discount on these major purchases, but what if there is a quality problem?

 Now businesses provide freight insurance so that consumers may get a refund or a new one without specifying a reason within seven days of receiving returned products. And there will be a free door-to-door pick-up provided. It's very convenient.
 
 Zhēn/ bù cuò/ wǒ/ yě/ yào/ qù kàn kàn/ hái néng/ mǎi/ shén me.
 That's great. I'm going to see what else I can buy.

 胜负心强的人经常输不起，所有事情都要争个高低。
 People who are competitive often can't afford to lose, and they have to compete for winning on everything.

 是的。比如，为了救国救民，长征的战士们跋山涉水，克服了重重困难，最终获得了胜利。 
 That is true. For example, to save the nation and its people, soldiers on the Long March walked across hills and rivers, overcoming lots of difficulties, and eventually won victory.

 西藏海拔很高，所以有可能有高原反应。刚去的时候不要剧烈运动；第一天不要洗澡，预防感冒；如果觉得不舒服，一定要原地休息。
 Tibet’s altitude is very high, so you may have altitude sickness. Don't practice intensive exercise in the first couple of days; don't take a shower on the first day to prevent a cold; if you don't feel well, be sure to take a rest right where you are.
