不被看见的需要

小张辞职后做起了自媒体。有一天，她准备坐高铁，忽然想到可以录一段怎么坐高铁的视频。她拿出手机，面对镜头仔细地讲解着坐高铁的每一个步骤。没想到视频发布后，很多网友留言，说：“没有坐过高铁，真的很有用。”更让她惊讶的是，原来她的账号不到18万粉丝，发布这个视频两周后粉丝量就突破了百万，迅速“破圈”。
这么普通、日常的内容，怎么就火了呢？事实给出了答案。不仅有人想知道“如何坐高铁？”，还有人想知道“如何坐飞机？”“如何叫网约车？”“如何办护照？”等等。
因为年龄、地域、受教育程度不同，很多看起来很常识性的事情，就是有人不知道。一个人习以为常的每件小事，都可能是另一个人的生活盲区。看见不被看见的需要，不仅是对别人的一种帮助，而且也可能是你成功的机会。

Tide

In today's episode we learn an anecdote about the American tourists who once met the Queen and had no idea who she was. Here's the story. 

Key Vocabulary:
An anecdote   /ˈanɪkdəʊt/   noun  = a short, interesting story about a real incident or person.
To play a prank on someone = To carry out a trick, deception, or practical joke on someone.
To pull someone's leg  =  to deceive someone playfully; tease someone.
Cantankerous	/kanˈtaŋk(ə)rəs/ adjective   = bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative.
To be a fly on the wall =  you would like to hear what will be said or see what will happen while not being noticed

Former Royal Protection Officer, Richard Griffin said he and the Queen met the American hikers one day while they were walking near Balmoral Castle, her holiday home in Scotland.
"The Queen would always stop and say hello," Griffin said. "And it was clear from the moment we first stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen."
Griffin said one of the Americans asked the Queen where she lived.
"She said, 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home near here,"' Griffin recalled. 
The hiker then asked if she had ever met Queen Elizabeth.
"Well I haven't, but Richard here meets her regularly," the Queen replied.
The hiker then turned to Griffin and asked: "Oh, you've met the Queen? What's she like?"
"I decided to pull her leg, so I said, 'she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour".
The American then got his camera out, and gave it to the Queen, asking if she could take a picture of him with the royal protection officer. "Then we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the Queen and we waved goodbye". "The Queen said to me, 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to their friends —  hopefully someone tells him who I am.'"
