HSK 一   story 1 《新朋友》

Picture this: You’re drowning in a sea of commitments, juggling work, family, and personal life. Your plate is overflowing, but you keep saying ‘yes’ to more. Sound familiar? We’ve all been there, my friend. The good news is that you can learn the art of saying ‘no’ without guilt and regain control of your life.

The ‘Yes’ Epidemic
Before we delve into the fine art of ‘no,’ let’s address the ‘yes’ epidemic. It’s a modern plague that we’ve all fallen victim to at some point. Fueled by the fear of disappointing others or missing out, we nod our heads like bobbleheads on steroids. Saying ‘yes’ to everything is a recipe for burnout, my fellow ‘yes’-aholics!

TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

En 2021, el Gobierno de la Ciudad de México decidió ―pese a no cerrarse completamente el ciclo hasta el 2025― conmemorar con diversos eventos los siete siglos de existencia de México-Tenochtitlan, sus 700 años. De igual manera dentro de esta conmemoración se busca hablar de la Conquista de México y así hablar de 500 años de resistencia de los Pueblos Originarios y de que actualmente las 69 lenguas originarias en México se siguen manteniendo, de esta resistencia cultural que sigue viviendo, reconociendo y afirmando a los Pueblos Originarios de México. Es así como dentro de esta celebración se busca resaltar la gran diversidad y lo que representaba la Cultura Mexica y lo que significó su dominio, finalmente la fundación de nuestra ahora Ciudad de México.

La celebración comenzó en marzo, con el equinoccio de primavera, fecha de suma relevancia en la tradición ancestral, pues implica el renacer de la vida en un nuevo ciclo. Se escogieron lugares de relevancia histórica: se dio inicio a los festejos en la zona arqueológica de Cuicuilco, al sur de la capital del país, continuando en Azcapotzalco y en Iztapalapa, en cuyo Cerro de la Estrella se realizaba la Ceremonia del Fuego Nuevo.
El 13 de marzo de 2021 tocó turno a Xochimilco, en cuyo Parque Ecológico se abrió el Museo Chionampaxóchitl (Flor de Chinampas) y se develó el mural de mosaicos en Xochimilco, actividad con eco en el Pueblo de Magdalena Mixiuhca. Además, el 21 de mayo se realizó la ceremonia del Tóxcatl (“sequedad” o “cosa seca”), tradición para pedir lluvias a Tláloc durante mayo y junio, temporada estival.

Los eventos fueron realizados a lo largo del 2021, hasta septiembre, cuando se entrelazaron con los festejos por el Bicentenario de la Independencia de México. Las actividades que se desarrollaron contribuyen a garantizar el acceso al derecho a la identidad cultural y a la memoria, porque son sustanciales para la convivencia social y para preservar la dignidad y la pertenencia.
