Feet Pain 脚痛
Your feet are heavy, you struggle to get down the stairs or simply to put your feet on the floor after waking up every morning? Does moving feel like hell because your joints are stiff and painful?
你的脚很重，你挣扎着下楼梯，或者只是每天早上醒来后把你的脚放在地板上?因为关节僵硬和疼痛，所以移动起来感觉像地狱一样吗?
Feet are the pillars of our body: they support us and allow us to get around. They hold the weight of our body, insure our balance, and soften impacts. Through the day joint fatigue and stress worsen, making our feet feel heavy. That is why it is essential to take care of our feet daily and to regularly see a podiatrist.
脚是我们身体的支柱:它们支撑着我们，让我们四处走动。它们支撑着我们身体的重量，确保我们的平衡，并减轻冲击。白天，关节疲劳和压力加剧，使我们的脚感到沉重。这就是为什么每天照顾我们的脚和定期看足病医生很重要的原因。
Many people see pain take hold and don’t react immediately. That is a mistake! You need to act quickly to help your feet get rid of this unbearable pain and then avoid it getting worse. You must take care of your health.
许多人看到疼痛，并没有立即做出反应。这是一个错误!你需要迅速采取行动，帮助你的脚摆脱这种难以忍受的疼痛，然后避免它变得更糟。你要保重身体。
世博英语脱口秀【8】公司里的人为什么不能友好些？
公司里的人为什么不能友好些？
Why Can’t People in the Corporate World be Friendly?
The way friends greet each other is very different from the way professional people greet each other in formal situations. An enthusiastic, “Hi, Jack!” works among friends, but if a business person used this way to greet a colleague in a meeting, it would be extremely awkward! “Hi!” expresses too much enthusiasm and intimacy. It would be uncomfortable to bring intimacy into the boardroom. “Hello, it’s nice to meet you,” is a more standard greeting- with a strong and quick handshake too, of course. For these reasons, business people have the image of being very stiff and robotic. They wear black, expressionless suits and carry nondescript briefcases. There’s not much room for originality in the corporate world!
中文翻译
朋友之间打招呼的方式和专业人士在正式场合打招呼的方式是完全不同的。一句热情的“Hi,Jack！”用于朋友没有问题，但如果一位商务人士在会议上也用这种方式称呼他的同事，那会令人十分尴尬的。“Hi！”包含了太多的热情和亲密。而把亲密的招呼带到会议室会另人感到不舒服的。“Hello, it’s nice to meet you.”这样的问候语就比较正式了，当然你也可以在这么打招呼的时候，和对方来一个有力而短暂的握手。由此，商务人士给人的印象总是非常呆板的和机械的，他们总是穿着黑色的、毫无生气的西装，拎着难以区分的公文包。在公司的世界里，可没有多少创意的空间噢！
