Episode Details

Mark: Hey, Haruka. I have a question for you. Do you ever meditate? 

马克：嘿，Haruka。我有一个问题问你。你有冥想过吗？ 

Haruka: Only occasionally. I know it's very good for your mental health, but I forget all the time. Do you? 

Haruka：只是偶尔。我知道这对你的心理健康非常有好处，但我总是忘记。你呢？ 

Mark: I do, but not in the most traditional or usual way. I don't sit in silence very often. I do that too sometimes, but I'll meditate either by going through a guided meditation, like a voice, someone telling me to relax your shoulders and focus on your breathing, et cetera. Or I meditate at other times like when I'm doing the dishes. I just focus on just the act of the water going over my hands or cleaning the dishes. And that's a form of meditation to me. 

马克：我愿意，但不是以最传统或通常的方式。我不经常安静地坐着。有时我也会这样做，但我会通过引导冥想来冥想，比如一个声音，有人告诉我放松你的肩膀并专注于你的呼吸，等等。或者我在其他时间冥想，比如洗碗的时候。我只关注水流过我的手或清洗盘子的动作。这对我来说是一种冥想形式。 

Haruka: Do you feel much better after that? 

Haruka：那之后你感觉好多了吗？ 

Mark: I feel calmer. I certainly feel more relaxed. Yeah. I feel like when I do that, my mind usually is going very fast and it's a good way to slow it down and bring it back to a more tolerable way of thinking. 

马克：我感觉平静多了。我当然感觉更放松了。是的。我觉得当我这样做时，我的思维通常会转得很快，这是一个放慢速度并使其恢复到更容易忍受的思维方式的好方法。 

Haruka: Is meditation similar to zoning out? 

Haruka：冥想和走神很相似吗？ 

Mark: I guess, but to me, zoning out is letting your mind wander. Whereas meditation, you're bringing it to a single focal point.
