听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

当下的中国互联网上，有一句有意思的话，“在上班和上进之间，选择了上香；在求人和求己之间，选择了求佛”。意思是年轻人宁愿选择去寺庙上香拜佛，也不愿意去上班；比起向外索取，更愿意信仰佛教。

当然，这是一句开玩笑的话。但是数据显示，今年以来，寺庙门票订单量同比增长310%；从2月起，预订寺庙门票的人群中，90后、00后占比接近50%。这说明，现在去寺庙参观祈福的人中，有一半是30岁以下的年轻人。怪不得这句话这么火爆。

我觉得，这说明了两件事。第一，当代中国年轻人的压力和焦虑很严重，在升学，就业、婚嫁上面，年轻人都面临很多艰难的选择。许多的年轻人祈求考试通过，升职加薪，找到自己的另一半。有人说，当代中国的年轻人接受了很多西方的外来文化，不再对中国传统的文化感兴趣，年轻人的寺庙热，就是对此判断的有力回击。

第二，以前的寺庙都是深藏不露地在深山老林里，充满了神秘。但是现在，许多寺庙注册了社交媒体账号。甚至有一种寺庙经济，悄悄在年轻人中间走红。中国传统的儒释道（儒家思想、道家思想和佛家思想）也被越来越多的年轻人所接受。很多年轻人人对传统文化和修行方式感兴趣。虽然真正的儒释道精神，很难领悟。但是这不妨碍大家对传统文化的喜爱和追随。

当然了，在寺庙里走一走能获得的片刻宁静，对于当下浮躁焦虑的年轻人来说，也是莫大的安慰和鼓励。这才是这句话火起来的直接原因吧。

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。

すずまりの日本語「ききみみ」ずきん

第2話　きき耳ずきん

I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.
