EP185 [全英访谈] 生活没有按计划走，然后呢？关于癌症、转行与重新开始
欢迎收听我们“无界故事 (Stories Without Borders)”的第四期节目！Simone 的人生，很难用一条直线来概括。她大学学的是编剧和电影，毕业后却先后进入英语教育、财富管理、资产管理，后来又在三十多岁搬到纽约，在 NYU Stern 攻读 MBA，并转向科技与战略领域。但在纽约生活期间，她又经历了一次完全没有准备过的人生转折：确诊患癌。这一期「无界故事」，David 和 Simone 从这段经历聊起。她分享了自己从发现身体异常、确诊，到化疗、两次手术和放疗的过程，也谈到在最困难的时候，真正支撑她的并不是什么宏大的勇气，而只是“去做下一件必须做的事”。癌症改变了她，但她并不希望自己的人生被“癌症幸存者”这个标签定义。对她来说，一段艰难的经历可以成为人生的一部分，却不必成为全部。我们也聊到了 Simone 一次次重新开始的经历：为什么从电影转向金融并不意味着“浪费了过去”；一个内向的人如何面对 MBA 里的 networking 和求职；为什么 FOMO 最后变成了 JOMO；以及一个三十三岁才搬到美国的人，是如何把英语练到可以用它工作、表达和创作的。这也是一期关于“重新开始”的对话。有些改变是我们自己选择的：换工作、换行业、搬去另一个国家。有些改变，则是生活替我们做出的决定。而 Simone 在节目里说的一句话，也许正好概括了这一期：“A difficult experience can become part of your story without becoming your whole identity.”一段艰难的经历，可以成为你故事的一部分，却不必成为你的全部身份。更多信息：� 嘉宾 Manning｜小红书 @阿西也叫Sim� 主播 David｜小红书 @David Blends Inn� 扫描下方二维码，关注公众号【Blend Inn】，获取节目文字版知识卡片 / 全英文故事双语文稿，加入听友群，随时互动哦~<img data-key="0" src="http://imagev2.xmcdn.com/storages/d6e9-audiofreehighqps/1F/60/GKwRIJEOeYrSAAGl5QTVrnRV.png!op_type=4&device_type=ios&upload_type=attachment&name=mobile_large" alt="" data-origin="http://imagev2.xmcdn.com/storages/d6e9-audiofreehighqps/1F/60/GKwRIJEOeYrSAAGl5QTVrnRV.png?op_type=0" data-large="http://imagev2.xmcdn.com/storages/d6e9-audiofreehighqps/1F/60/GKwRIJEOeYrSAAGl5QTVrnRV.png!op_type=4&device_type=ios&upload_type=attachment&name=mobile_large" data-large-width="750" data-large-height="422.09302325581393" data-preview="http://imagev2.xmcdn.com/storages/d6e9-audiofreehighqps/1F/60/GKwRIJEOeYrSAAGl5QTVrnRV.png!op_type=4&device_type=ios&upload_type=attachment&name=mobile_small" data-preview-width="1

EP184 [全英] Why Is Making Friends So Hard as an Adult?
How Modern Life Made Connection Easier—and Friendship HarderToday, I want to talk about something that sounds very simple, but the more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes: Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult?According to a major report released by the WHO last year, roughly one in six people around the world experiences loneliness. And interestingly, loneliness is actually more common among adolescents and young adults than among older people.You can be 25, living in New York, working at a big company, going to bars every weekend, with 2,000 followers on Instagram—and still feel incredibly lonely.So today, let’s talk about adult friendship: why it gets harder, what modern loneliness actually looks like, and maybe most importantly, what we can do about it.� 扫描下方二维码，关注公众号【Blend Inn】，获取节目文字版知识卡片 / 全英文故事双语文稿，加入听友群，随时互动哦~

EP183 AI 把你裁了，现在又后悔了？
Silicon Valley 的 AI Layoffs、Boomerang Employees，与人才价值的重新洗牌今天想跟大家聊一个我最近觉得非常有意思，而且也非常 Silicon Valley 的现象。这几年只要讲到科技业，大家大概都逃不掉两个关键词：一个是 AI，一个是 layoffs。Google、Meta、Amazon、Microsoft，几乎每隔一段时间就会有一波裁员新闻。公司对外的说法也都很熟悉：要提高效率，要 streamline the organization，要 become more AI-native，说白一点就是，AI 可以帮一个人做更多事了，所以公司不需要这么多人。但最近开始出现一个很有趣的反转。有些公司前脚才因为 AI、automation、efficiency 把人裁掉，后脚又开始重新找人，甚至把以前在公司工作过的人请回来。这种人英文有一个很好玩的说法，叫做 boomerang employee。Boomerang 就是回力镖，你把它丢出去，最后它又飞回来。所以 a boomerang employee，就是一个人离开公司之后，过一段时间又重新回到原公司工作。你可以说，Boomerang hiring is becoming more common in tech. 科技业现在越来越常见这种回锅式招聘。那问题就来了。如果 AI 真的这么厉害，当初不是觉得这些人可以不用了吗？为什么现在又要把人找回来？我觉得这背后其实不是一句「AI 不行」就可以解释，而是很多公司正在经历一场很大的重新校准。他们在重新思考什么工作真的可以被 AI 取代，什么人才其实还是很值钱，甚至也在重新定价人才。� 本期的知识卡片我们整理在下面啦：1. 核心概念boomerang employee｜回锅员工；离职后又回到原公司的人Boomerang hiring is becoming more common in tech.科技业越来越常见回锅式招聘。AI-driven layoffs｜由 AI 转型或自动化所推动的裁员Not every AI-driven layoff means AI can fully replace the affected jobs.并非每一次「AI 驱动的裁员」都代表 AI 能完整取代相关职位。AI regret / AI remorse｜企业过度高估 AI 替代能力后产生的「AI 后悔」AI regret can lead companies to rehire workers they let go too quickly.AI 后悔可能让公司重新聘用先前太快裁掉的员工。rehire｜重新聘用（动作）；boomerang employee 则是被请回来的人The company decided to rehire several former employees.<p style="color:#333333;font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:30px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;hyp

EP182 [全英访谈] 当 AI 可以替你写论文，大学还剩下什么？
一位美国大学捐赠基金投资人、哈佛MBA新生眼中的教育未来欢迎收听我们全新系列“无界故事 (Stories Without Borders)”的第三期节目！在 AI 可以帮我们写论文、做演示、寻找答案的今天，我们为什么还要花四年时间去读大学？这一期「无界故事」，David 邀请老朋友 Zane 聊聊他的答案。Zane 在北京的公立教育体系中长大，高中才决定出国，本科来到美国南方的 Vanderbilt University，同时学习艺术史和数学。毕业之后，他没有进入传统意义上的华尔街，而是留在 Vanderbilt 的大学捐赠基金做投资。如今，他辞掉工作，即将前往 Harvard Business School 开启新的 MBA 旅程。这期节目里，我们从他的个人经历出发，聊到了很多看似不同、其实彼此相连的问题：大学真正提供的究竟是知识、文凭，还是人与人之间的连接？美国顶尖私立大学为什么“招一个学生，可能就亏一笔钱”？那些动辄几十亿美元的大学捐赠基金，又是如何支撑学校运转的？当学生开始用 AI 写论文、老师用 AI 批改论文，传统教育还有哪些部分值得保留？Zane 认为，未来真正重要的，也许不再是完成标准化任务，而是发现真实问题，并调用身边的工具去解决它。我们也聊到了一个影视作品之外的美国——纳什维尔和美国南方。那些关于保守、排外的想象，与 Zane 真正生活六七年后看到的 Southern Hospitality，究竟有多大的距离？而当世界正在被 AI 和机器人快速改变，为什么已经拥有一份不错工作的他，反而选择离开熟悉的金融圈，重新回到校园？也许「无界」并不只是跨越国家、专业或行业，而是不断离开自己熟悉的回音室，去和不同的人相遇，再重新思考：我想成为谁，我又想把自己放在一个怎样的世界里。� 扫描下方二维码，关注公众号【Blend Inn】，获取节目文字版知识卡片 / 全英文故事双语文稿，加入听友群，随时互动哦~

EP181 [全英] Why Does Everyone Suddenly Have ADHD?
What ADHD really is, why diagnoses are rising, and what the science actually says.I don’t know if you’ve noticed this too, but over the past few years, it feels like ADHD has gone from being a relatively niche medical term to something that’s part of everyday conversation.Someone on TikTok says, “If you do these five things, you probably have ADHD.”A friend gets diagnosed at 35 and suddenly understands why they’ve struggled their whole life.Parents are talking about it. Teachers are talking about it. Even companies are talking about creating ADHD-friendly workplaces.So naturally, a lot of people start wondering: Is everyone suddenly getting ADHD?Or maybe a better question is: Has ADHD actually become more common, or are we simply getting better at recognizing it?Today, I’d like to unpack that question. We’ll talk about what ADHD actually is, how doctors diagnose it, why diagnosis seems to be increasing, why countries like the United States appear to diagnose it more often, and finally, what treatment really looks like.� 扫描下方二维码，关注公众号【Blend Inn】，获取节目文字版知识卡片 / 全英文故事双语文稿，加入听友群，随时互动哦~也欢迎搜索微信号「xy-gungun」添加小助手，备注【Blend Inn】，加入听友群一起交流互动~

EP180 三个高级动词，帮你说清「行动、想法和情绪」
Mobilize、Crystallize、Neutralize：三个 -ize 动词背后的状态变化。今天这一集，我想带大家学三个我自己非常喜欢的高级动词。它们是：mobilizecrystallizeneutralize如果你仔细看，这三个字长得其实有点像。它们都以 -ize 结尾。而这个 -ize 很重要。很多人看到 -ize，会觉得它只是一个「动词字尾」。比如 modern 变成 modernize，real 变成 realize，stable 变成 stabilize。但如果你只是把它理解成「变成动词」，那其实太可惜了。因为 -ize 背后有一个很重要的语感：to make something become a certain state也就是：让某个东西变成某种状态，什么「化」。所以今天这三个字，不只是三个单字。它们其实是三种「改变状态」的能力。当事情不动的时候，你要 mobilize。当想法模糊的时候，你要 crystallize。当负面影响太强的时候，你要 neutralize。所以今天这集，我们不是只背单字。我们是在学一种看世界的方法。� 本期的知识卡片我们整理在下面啦：01｜Mobilizemobilize：动员；调动；把原本静止、分散、没有启动的力量组织起来，让它开始行动。它不只是普通的 move。move 是「移动」，而 mobilize 更强调：把原本分散、沉睡、没有被启动的人力、资源或能量调动起来，变成真正的行动。可以把它理解成：from inactive to active<p style

EP179 Burning Man：全球最神秘的节日，到底在疯什么？
为什么硅谷亿万富翁，都爱去 Burning Man？一座只存在七天的城市，如何成为全球最特别的文化现象。大家最近如果刷 Instagram，尤其是八月底，你可能会开始看到一些很奇怪的照片。有人穿着像《Mad Max》电影里面的衣服，全身都是金属色；有人骑着一台装满 LED 灯的脚踏车，在一望无际的沙漠里穿梭；有人站在一个几十公尺高的木头人前面，身后是熊熊烈火，画面看起来就像世界末日。如果你第一次看到，你大概会想：这到底是音乐节？艺术展？邪教？还是一群有钱人的大型 Cosplay？但更有趣的是，每一年，真的有七、八万人愿意花好几千美元，甚至有人从世界另一端飞过去，只为了在沙漠里住一个星期。没有饭店。没有便利店。没有 Starbucks。手机很多地方没有信号。白天可能四十多度，晚上却冷到接近零度。最后，大家围着一个巨大的木头人，把它烧掉。这，就是 Burning Man。今天，我想带大家认识这个全球最神秘、也最具争议性的活动。但我更想讨论的是，为什么它会让那么多人念念不忘，甚至改变人生。� 本期的知识卡片我们整理在下面啦：卡片 1｜Bucket list含义：人生愿望清单；一生中至少想完成一次的事情。常见搭配：be on one's bucket list（在某人的人生愿望清单上）例句：Visiting Antarctica is on my bucket list.（去南极在我的人生愿望清单上。）文中表达：Burning Man is on my bucket list.（火人节是我这辈子一定想去一次的地方。）卡片 2｜Pilgrimage含义：原指宗教“朝圣”；也可比喻具有特殊意义、一直想完成的旅程。常见搭配：a pilgrimage for someone（对某人而言的朝圣之旅）例句：Wimbledon is a pilgrimage for tennis fans.（温布尔登是网球迷的朝圣之旅。）文中表达：For many entrepreneurs, Burning Man has become a pilgrimage.（对许多创业者来说，火人节已经成了一场朝圣之旅。）卡片 3｜Temporary city含义：临时城市；只在特定时间内存在的城市。词义拆解：temporary（临时的）＋city（城市）例句：Burning Man creates a temporary city in the desert.（火人节在沙漠中建起了一座临时城市。）卡片 4｜Decommodification含义：去商品化；不把所有事物都变成可供买卖的商品。词义拆解：commodity（商品）→commodify（使商品化）→decommodification（去商品化）例句：Decommodificatio

EP178 [全英] HYROX，到底在红什么？
为什么明星、企业家、健身网红都在比？一场改变全球 Fitness Culture 的比赛。Have you noticed that recently, no matter whether you’re scrolling through Instagram, Threads, or even Xiaohongshu, one word just keeps popping up?HYROX.I honestly feel like it has exploded almost overnight.A few years ago, I had never even heard of it. But now, I have friends signing up for races, gyms around Sydney are offering HYROX classes, and people who never used to post about fitness are suddenly sharing photos with medals around their necks.Then I started noticing something else.It’s not just everyday people.Professional athletes are doing HYROX. Olympians are doing HYROX. Entrepreneurs are doing HYROX. Fitness influencers, YouTubers, celebrities… they’re all jumping in.What is going on? Why has this event become so popular in such a short amount of time?So today, I want to talk about three things.First, what exactly is HYROX? Second, who created it, and how did it become one of the fastest-growing fitness competitions in the world? And finally—and I think this is the most interesting question—why is everyone suddenly obsessed with it?Because I actually don’t think this is just about fitness.I think HYROX tells us something about where fitness culture—and maybe even our own society—is heading.� 扫描下方二维码，关注公众号【Blend Inn】，获取节目文字版知识卡片 / 全英文故事双语文稿，加入听友群，随时互动哦~
