《一个人待会儿，挺好》
网上，有这样一个精准击中成年人情绪的发问：为什么很多人开车回家，到楼下了还要在车里坐好久？
最多的回答是：“需要独处。”
很难说清成年人的生活中，一天之中有多少时间是完全属于自己的。我们的时间像一幅巨大的拼图，每一块拼图都被清晰地分配了任务：
在办公室里是效力的员工；在社交场合中，是应酬的一员；在家的屋檐下，是要尽责的成员……
当时间被精细地功能化之后，独处就像对机械运转的钟表按下了暂停键，给自己一个“换气”的出口。哪怕仅仅是在沙发上发一会呆、放空，都是有益身心健康的，它不一定产生直接价值，却能润物无声地修复心情，是生活里必要的布白。

Aujourd'hui, on visite Grenoble, la ville assiégée par les montagnes !

* chanson de l'épisode * La complainte de Mandrin, interprétée par Marc Ogeret, raconte l'histoire du plus grand brigand français, Louis Mandrin.

LAYLA: Thanks for meeting with me during your lunch hour. I 
appreciate it.
MONICA: No problem. I’m happy to help. What’s going on?
LAYLA: Oh you know, the usual. Should I take this new job? Or do I 
stick with my current one?
MONICA: Well, I think it’s time for a change, don’t you? They pay you late 
and you are unhappy.
LAYLA: Do you really think so?
MONICA: I know so. And I’ve been listening to you complain for over a 
year now. Trust me. Take the job. What do you have to lose?



LANGUAGE NOTES
• In formal conversation, giving advice is often suggested through modals: ought to/ 
should / could / If I were you. In informal conversations people tend to use words such 
as I think that/ I feel that/ in my opinion.
• Listen for the emphasis on I know so and Trust me. These common phrases can be 
used to convey both positive and negative emotions. “I know so” conveys a deep belief 
or certainty. “To know” shows more certainty than “to think.”
• Notice the use of command forms: Take the job. /Trust me./ Go for it! The command 
form can be used to gently persuade someone
