Well, I enjoy driving around in my spare time. I always drive my car with my friends or family out to the countryside during the weekends to relax. I feel that driving not only enables me to go where I want to at any time, but I can also make my own itineraries and discover the stunning places that others may not find.

嗯，我喜欢在业余时间开车兜风。我总是在周末和我的朋友或家人一起开车去乡下放松。我觉得开车不仅能让我随时随地去我想去的地方，而且我还能自己制定行程，发现别人找不到的地方。

Normally, I’ll hang out with my friends because I want to relax, but after being a father, I spend more time at home with my kid, telling stories to him or playing games with him.

通常，我会和我的朋友出去玩，因为我想放松，但作为一个父亲，我花更多的时间在家里陪我的孩子，给他讲故事或和他玩游戏。

If I had to choose between the two, I’ll probably spend more time at home with my kid, telling stories to him or playing games with him, whereas, hanging out with friends will reduce my quality family time with my son.

如果我必须在两者之间做出选择，我可能会花更多的时间和我的孩子呆在家里，给他讲故事或者和他玩游戏，然而，和朋友一起出去玩会减少我和我儿子在一起的时间。

Oh, definitely not, you know, a modern lifestyle brings people more convenience, however, in this modern fast paced society the fierce competition makes more people spend more time at work, resulting in less quality time with family and friends.

哦，当然不是，你知道，现代的生活方式给人们带来了更多的便利，然而，在这个快节奏的现代社会，激烈的竞争使更多的人花更多的时间在工作上，导致与家人和朋友相处的时间减少。

Yes, definitely. After a tiring week, people really need to relax. Apart from earning money, I still need to enjoy my family time, hang out with friends to socialise and travel around to experience different lifestyles.Well, between the two, old people are fond of a slow-pace of life compared to young people, for example, old people enjoy walking in the garden or chatting with old friends, on the contrary, young people are fond of energetic activities such as football and hiking in the mountains.

是的,当然有。经过一周的劳累，人们真的需要放松。除了赚钱，我还需要享受我的家庭时光，和朋友一起出去社交，四处旅行，体验不同的生活方式。嗯，在两者之间，老年人喜欢慢节奏的生活相比年轻人，例如，老年人喜欢在花园散步或与老朋友聊天，相反，年轻人喜欢充满活力的活动，如足球和爬山。

Well, it’s kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to hang out with friends for dinner, but maybe for others, they will probably go shopping with family in the shopping malls to enjoy themselves.

嗯，这很难说，但我周围认识的人都喜欢和朋友一起吃饭，但对其他人来说，他们可能会和家人一起去购物中心享受。

Well, I’m really into taking my kid travelling around to the natural places around here during the weekends to relax. Although travelling to other places is really time consuming, I still like going out because I believe that staying close to the nature can cultivate people’ s mental development

嗯，我真的很喜欢带我的孩子在周末的时候去附近的自然地方放松。虽然去其他地方旅行很费时，但我仍然喜欢出去，因为我相信亲近自然可以培养人的心智发展
