Zijin Chen’s parents got a divorce when he was nine. And his dad remarried and had a daughter. He says he truly understands how children growing up in a single-parent family feel. According to research organization Child Trends, science supports the idea that warmth and affection expressed by parents to their children results in life-long positive outcomes for those children. Higher self-esteem, improved academic performance, better parent-child communication, and fewer psychological and behavior problems have been linked to this type of affection. On the other hand, children who do not have affectionate parents tend to have lower self esteem and to feel more alienated, hostile, aggressive, and anti-social. In 2010, researchers at Duke University Medical School found that babies with very affectionate and attentive mothers grow up to be happier, more resilient, and less anxious adults. affectionate [əˈfekʃənət] 充满爱的 Attentive [əˈtentɪv] 体贴的 The psychologists rated the mother’s affection and attention level on a five-point scale ranging from “negative” to “extravagant.” Nearly 10 percent of the mothers showed low levels of affection, 85 percent demonstrated a normal amount of affection, and about six percent showed high levels of affection. Then 30 years later, those same individuals were interviewed about their emotional health. The adults whose mothers showed “extravagant” or “caressing” affection were much less likely than the others to feel stressed and anxious. They were also less likely to report hostility and distressing social interactions. 30年后，对这些人进行了有关其情绪健康的采访。母亲表现出“过度”或“爱抚”的成年人比其他成年人感到压力和焦虑的可能性要小得多，也没有出现敌对和令人沮丧的社会互动。 The researchers involved in this study concluded that the hormone[ˈhɔːməʊn] oxytocin [,ɔksi'təusin, -'tɔ-] may be responsible for this effect. Oxytocin is a chemical in the brain released during times when a person feels love and connection. It has been shown to help parents bond with their children, adding a sense of trust and support between them. This bond most likely helps our brain produce and use oxytocin, causing a child to feel more positive emotions. So the greatest gift parents can give their children is to love them. I highly agree that parents should take a responsibility test before they have kids cuz not everyone can be a “fit parent.” 【有“敏感词”提示放不了全文，节目中英文全文 可关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语 回复 隐秘的角落】

上一期《乘风破浪的姐姐》很多人都在关注艾瑞巴蒂组里面几个强势姐姐+弱势组长合作不来的情况。为什么她们几个那么难合作呢？ 这也让我想到了哈佛商学院教授Amy Edmondson分享过的一个TED演讲叫 《如何让陌生人组成一个团队》--How to turn a group of strangers into a team. 【节目全文可关注微信公众号 Zoey八点英语 回复 合作】 【英文参考】 In 2010, a massive collapse at San José Copper Mine in Chile left 33 men trapped half a mile below some of the hardest rock in the world. No drilling technology in the industry is capable of getting through rock that hard and that deep fast enough to save their lives. It's not clear if the miners are alive. And it's not even clear who's in charge. Yet, within 70 days, all 33 of these men were brought to the surface alive. First of all, they’re very humble and curious. They were able to be humble in the face of the very real challenge ahead, curious -- all of these diverse individuals, diverse expertise especially, nationality as well, were quite curious about what each other brings. And they were willing to take risks to learn fast what might work. They have overcome what we call the basic human challenge: it's hard to learn if you already know. And unfortunately, we're hardwired to think we know. And so we've got to remind ourselves to be curious about what others bring. And secondly, it's awfully hard to team if you see others as competitors. Abraham Lincoln said once, "I don't like that man very much. I must get to know him better." Think about that -- I don't like him, that means I don't know him well enough. It's extraordinary. This is the mindset we need for effective teaming. When we step back and reach out and reach across, miracles can happen. 背景音乐：Undo

周日就是父亲节了。今天和你们分享一部和父亲有关的经典电影，《大鱼》Big Fish。 【 中英文全文 可关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语 回复 大鱼】 【英文参考】 The movie is adopted from the novel Big Fish. It tells the story about a father named Edward Bloom, who loves telling stories about his eccentric life, such as meetings with a giant man, two Korean conjoined twins who are singers, a witch with a glass eye capable of seeing the future, and a big fish that refuses to be captured. His son Will didn’t believe his stories. But when Edward fell ill, Will finally started his journey to dig into his father’s past. Will’s dad always says he was fishing on the day Will was born. But then when Will went to the hospital to visit his dad when he was very ill, the doctor finally told him the true story on the day he was born. He said actually Will’s father was very sorry to miss Will’s delivery because he was on a business trip. So he made up the fishing story for Will. Edward said: This town is more than any man could ask for. And if I were to end up here, I'd consider myself lucky. But the truth, I'm not ready to end up anywhere. Jenny asked: How are you gonna make it without your shoes? Edward replied: I suspect it would hurt, a lot. The more difficult something became, the more rewarding it was in the end. 背景音乐：Forest Gump Suite

When time runs out when you’re older, I don’t want to think, ‘man, why was I so nervous? I should have just gone for it.’ That’s what I tell myself now. I’m 20, but my biggest fear is being an old lady and thinking I wasted so much time being scared and worrying what people thought about me.”

在奥巴马为黑人死者发声后，他的妻子米歇尔也在推特上呼吁抵制种族歧视。 英文参考： Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us–Black, white, everyone...It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets. I have been at, probably, every powerful table there is in the world. I’ve been at G-summits, I’ve been in castles and palaces, in boardrooms and academic universities. And I’m coming down from the mountaintop to tell every young person that is poor and working-class and has been told, regardless of the color of your skin, that you don’t belong, don’t listen to them. They don’t even know how they got into those seats. 因为后台提示有敏感词 所以文本放不上来.. 感兴趣的可以关注 微信公众号 Zoey八点英语 回复 米歇尔 查看。

今天我们一起来重温一部很有童趣，很温馨的电影《怦然心动》Flipped. 开篇小女孩儿Juli Baker就说了：The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. flipped在这里是突然为了某个人感到心潮澎湃的意思，所以影片翻译成了“怦然心动”。Flip for sb.是为某人心动的意思。 【节目中英文全文可以关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语 回复 怦然心动 获取】 The movie is based on the novel Flipped. It tells the story of two eight-graders who start to have feelings for each other despite being totally different. Probably what most people enjoyed about this movie was that the events that happened in the movie might as well have been their realities. Many people have also experienced a real crush. 或许很多人能从这部影片里看到曾经懵懂的自己，还有那份很单纯的心动，能找到共鸣。小时候看只觉得男女主挺浪漫的，现在重温才发现，这部影片也记录了他们在家人的引导下的成长。 Juli的爸爸教会了她，观察一个人，整体是大于部分的。 在Juli迷恋Bryce的时候，她提到了好几次：It was those eyes, something in those dazzling eyes. 他的眼睛让我晕眩，深陷其中。 So when Juli’s dad asks her what she likes about Bryce, Juli says, “I guess it's something about his eyes or maybe his smile.” Juli对爸爸说她喜欢Bryce或许是因为他的眼睛，或是笑容。 爸爸却反问他：“And what about HIM?” 那你喜欢 他 什么呢？Juli就被问懵了。 Her dad says, You have to look at the whole landscape. 你应该看一整个全局。 A painting is more than the sum of it's parts. A cow by itself is just a cow. A meadow by itself is just grass, flowers. And the sun picking through the trees, is just a beam of light. But you put them all together and it can be magic. 一幅画的整体效果远比局部重要。一头牛只是一头牛，一片草地本身只是长满了花和草，穿过树丛的阳光仅仅只是一束光线，但是当你把他们组合在一起，它可以变成奇迹。 也正是爸爸的这段话才启发了Juli，让她意识到仅仅因为局部就认定了一个人是不够的。就像我们还小的时候可能也很容易因为对方好看的笑容、眼睛、背影，甚至只是刚好哪天ta穿了身好看的衣服就被吸引，长大后才发现评定一个人要观察的东西还有很多很多。 Juli’s father also teaches her how to say goodbye to something she really loves. Juli loves climbing up on a large sycamore[ˈsɪkəmɔː(r)] tree to see the view of the whole world. She can even stays there a whole day long. But then one day, the tree is cut down by a group of landscapers so a house can be built there. Juli一直很喜欢爬到那棵梧桐树上，享受那种能看到全世界的感觉。她甚至可以在上面呆一整天。可后来建筑工却把它砍了，因为那块地要建房子。 在树被砍的那天，Juli待在上面不肯下来。爸爸爬上来告诉她说：It’s time, Juli, it’s time. 到时候了。Nothing is worth risking my daughter’s safety. Later he gives Juli a painting of the tree. 爸爸没有像其他人一样恐吓她下来，而是说，没有什么值得让我女儿的安全有风险。还亲手画了一幅梧桐树的画，送给女儿。 后来每每Juli心情不好就会看着那副画，回忆当时看到的整个世界。 Sometimes you have to say goodbye, because just like Juli’s father says, “it’s time.” But the memories between you and your beloved ones will last forever. 就像我们也总有需要和喜欢的事物或人告别的时候，有时候不得不，但记忆会是永存的。 而和率真果敢的Juli性格完全相反的Bryce，总是不敢表达内心真实的想法。 明明厌恶Juli曾经一直缠着自己，却从不拒绝；明明不会吃Juli送的鸡蛋，却不敢告诉她而选择偷偷丢掉；明明很气愤朋友嘲笑Juli的智障叔叔，却只能笑着附和。 Bryce is always afraid of offending other people, so he doesn’t dare to speak out the truth. Until one day, his grandfather comes to him and says, You know, Bryce... one's character is set at an early age. I'd hate to see you swim out so far you can't swim back. 直到某天他外公跟他说，一个人的个性往往是在很小的时候就成型了。我不想看到你在错误的方向远游了出去，回不了头。 Bryce不理解。爷爷继续解释道： It's about honesty, son. Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning...can save a whole lot of pain down the road. 有时开始的一点不舒服，能够避免未来充满痛苦的道路。 听完外公这段话，Bryce才开始改变自己，开始勇敢跟Juli示爱,开始敢为了维护Juli跟兄弟翻脸，敢追到Juli家敲窗户，甚至敢在他们家草坪种下了一颗小梧桐树。 也正是很想念自己已故妻子的外公，让Bryce知道，遇到了对的人，就不应该错过。 那段很经典的台词就是外公说的： Some of us get dipped in flat some in satin some in gloss. But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent. And when you do nothing will ever compare. 有的人是浅色的，有的人是缎色的，有的人是带光泽的，但偶尔，你会发现彩虹般的人，这时候，什么也比不过她。 韩寒后来的翻译也很经典： 有人住高楼,有人在深沟,有人光万丈,有人一身锈,世人万千种,浮云莫去求,斯人若彩虹,遇上方知有。 《怦然心动》的原著也很好看。下周一六一儿童节我准备在微信公众号Zoey八点英语抽奖，送你们英语和中文两个版本的《怦然心动》的原著，可以关注公众号Zoey八点英语在下周一的推送噢。

最近Papi酱孩子没有随母性被批不是女权的热搜想必大家都有了解了，今天我们也来聊聊什么是女权Feminism。有一部经典电影《隐藏人物》Hidden Figures很好地诠释了这一点。 【节目中英文全文可以关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语查看】 【英语文本参考】 The movie Hidden Figures is based on true stories. It tells the story of three brilliant African-American women, Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, working at NASA. They served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of an astronaut into orbit and guaranteeing his safe return. 影片讲的是发生在20世纪60年代的真实故事。三位黑人女性和种族、性别偏见作斗争，最终在航人飞行载人火箭中出色完成任务，最后实现了各自的理想的故事。 故事背景和《绿皮书》是同一时期，绿皮书的黑人男主也有参演。 故事中的Katherine是从小天赋异禀的数学家。 She works as a computer at NASA. But the majority there are white men, and they do not respect her at all, just like other white people in the society. 而不光是他们，在当时社会的其他男性，甚至对她有仰慕之情、后来成了丈夫的Colonel Johnson，一开始对Katherine这样一位在NASA工作的女性也有歧视。 When Johnson asks Katherine what she does at NASA, Katherine says, “we calculate the mathematics necessary to enable launch and landing for the space program.” But Johnson is shocked. He says, “That’s pretty heady stuff. They let women handle that sort of..” Hearing this, Katherine gets angry, and replies: I will have you know I was the first Negro female student at West Virginia University Graduate School. On any given day, I analyze the manometer levels for air displacement, friction, and velocity, and compute over ten thousand calculations by cosine[ˈkəʊsaɪn] , square root, and lately, Analytic Geometry[dʒiˈɒmətri] , by hand. 我希望你知道，我是西弗吉尼亚大学研究生院的第一位黑人女学生。每天我都会分析压力计的空气位移，摩擦力和速度，并通过余弦，平方根以及最近的“解析几何”手动计算一万多次。 There are twenty bright, highly capable Negro women in the West Computing Group, and we’re proud to be doing our part for the country. So, yes, they let women do some things at NASA, Mr. Johnson, and it’s not because we wear skirts. It’s because we wear glasses. 我们组里有20名聪明的黑人妇女，我们为能为国家做出自己的贡献感到自豪。 所以，是的，他们让女性在NASA做些事情，这不是因为我们穿裙子。 而是因为我们戴眼镜。 言下之意自己是在用智力、努力，而不是样貌，赢得了自己的应得的东西。 She is also the first woman to attend the briefings at NASA. Her evil colleague Paul Stafford tells her that, “There is no protocol for women attending a briefing.” --由《生活大爆炸》里的谢耳朵饰演的反派同事告诉Katherine说，NASA从来没有过让女性参加简报会议的协定。 但Katherine却回答说There’s no protocol for a man circling the Earth either, sir. 男性能飞上太空也没有相关的草拟协定啊，也是第一例。并通过说服大boss为自己赢得了机会。 最后也是Katherine在关键时刻为保障宇航员安全返回提供了数据，成为了NASA一名杰出的计算师。 NASA后来甚至建了一座以她的名字命名的大楼表彰她的突出贡献。 影片中另一位很擅长数学的女性是Mary Jackson。 In the movie, Mary Jackson is another African American woman who has superb mathematic skills, and dreams to be an engineer. But it seems impossible for a black woman to be an engineer at NASA at that time. Mary says, “every time we have a chance to get ahead, they move the finish line.” 每回当她觉得梦想就要近一步了，别人就会把终点线移走。似乎对于一个黑人女性来说，成为NASA工程师是一件不可能的事。 直到后来在同事Karl的鼓励下，她决定通过打官司为自己赢得去一个全都是白人男性学生的课程的学习机会，以此通过了NASA工程师的准入门槛。 She says to the judge at the court: Before Alan Shepard sat on top of a rocket, no other American had ever touched space. And now, he will forever be remembered as the US Navy man from New Hampshire, the first to touch the stars. And I, sir, I plan on being an engineer at NASA, but I can’t do that without taking classes at that all-white high school, and I can’t change the color of my skin. So I have no choice but to be the first. 我没有选择，只能成为第一个。就像在Alan Shepard登上太空之前，也没有人相信会有人类可以登上太空。--I have no choice but to be the first. 最后Mary成为了NASA第一位黑人女性工程师。 Mary和Katherine的好姐妹Dorothy Vaughan，也通过抗争成为了NASA第一位黑人女性主管。 They are fighting so hard to earn the respect from men. So, going back to the question, what is feminism? According to wikipedia, feminism is a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that aim to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. 维基百科上说，女权主义是一系列旨在界定，建立和实现性别平等的政治运动和意识形态。 就像影片里的三位女性，通过自己的努力，赢得了没有因性别而被区别对待的权利，也赢得了尊重。这才是女权，而不在于非要强调具体表现形式。 就像印度电影《他和她的故事》Ki&Ka里面，男主因为梦想做家庭主妇就被遭到歧视，可谁规定了女性做家庭主妇就不违和，男性就一定违和？这些都只是表现形式，只要在男女双方彼此尊重的前提下，都是值得尊重的。 So quite simply, feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities, but not about commanding women or men to do certain things.

今天和你们分享一部很温暖、励志的由真人故事改编的电影--《弱点》，英文原名是The Blind Side，其实翻译成”盲区“或许更合适。 【节目全文可以关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语 回复 弱点 获取】 The movie is a biographical drama film, based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. The main character is Michael Oher, who is now a football star at the National Football League. He was an African-American homeless, and a white family adopted him. Thanks to the family, they boy finds love, the possibility to study and the great opportunity to start his football career. 影片主角是如今的橄榄球巨星Michael Oher。他的童年是灰暗的。妈妈吸毒，爸爸没怎么见过他，屡次从几个寄养家庭里逃走. 后来他遇到了陶西一家，由Sandra Bullock饰演的Leigh Anne夫人收养了他。这个温暖的家庭让他重新找回了信心,也找到了人生方向. It was Leigh Anne who first found Michael picking up leftover food from other students. One night, she saw Michael walking alone on the road in the rain, and shivering without adequate clothing. When she learned that he planed to spend the night outside the closed school gym, she offered to let him sleep on the couch in their home. Leigh Anne treats Michael like her own son. Unlike Michael’s teachers who only keep complaining that he knows nothing, Leigh Anne kept observing him and found that he has a strong protective instinct, and later guided him to use his advantage to play football. Leigh Anne： Look, here's the deal, I don't need y'all to approve my choices alright, but I do ask that you respect them. You have no idea what this boy has been through and if this becomes some running diatribe, I can find overpriced salad a lot closer to home. Michael says, Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or mistake, but you're not supposed to question adults, or your coach or your teacher, because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don't. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you're doing something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that's the real reason for you either do something or you don't. It's who you are and maybe who you want to be...You should hope for courage and try for honor. 就像原著里说： “He was ignorant, but a lot of people mistook ignorance for stupidity, and knowingness for intelligence.” 很多人总是把被忽视当成是愚蠢，把了解知道一些事情就当做是智慧。 可有时候你的一句关切的话语，一个善意的举动，可能就影响了这个被忽视的人的一生。 背景音乐：Chances

今天和你们分享一部很经典的关于人工智能的电影Artificial Intelligence. 【节目全文可以关注 微信公众号 zoey八点英语 回复 人工智能 获取】 【英文参考】 Those were the years when the icecaps melted due to the greenhouse gases and the oceans had risen and drowned so many cities along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to license pregnancies. Which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture were so essential an economic link in the chain mail society. One of the robot-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, and can run a programming code of love. When their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, David’s life changes dramatically. David is dumped. Then he starts to try so hard to find ways to become a “real” person, hoping to regain the love of his human mom. David always loves his human mom. But does his mom love him? Sadly, no, she doesn’t. Just like what the Lover Robot Gigolo Joe says, “She loves what you do for her, as my customers love what it is I do for them. But she does not love you David, she cannot love you. You are neither flesh, nor blood. You are not a dog, a cat, or a canary.” Dear Mommy, I‘m your little boy, and so is Martin, but not Teddy. But when David is caught in a “flesh fair” held by humans and in great danger, Teddy insists on asking other people to help find David, though Teddy himself may be killed. Teddy even had kept Monica’s hair that was chopped off by David for 2000 years, cuz he genuinely believes with the hair, he can also become a real person and gain the love of Monica. It isn't just a question of creating a robot that can love. Isn't the real conundrum [kəˈnʌndrəm], can you get a human to love them back? 真正的难题不是是否机器人可以有爱的能力，而是如果机器人可以爱人类，人类有能力爱回他们吗？ conundrum [kəˈnʌndrəm] 难题； So she asks, if a robot could genuinely love a person what responsibility does that person hold toward the robot in return? It's a moral question, isn't it? “If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”

今天我们来聊聊最近有好几位听友推荐的电影，《穿着条纹睡衣的男孩》--The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. 【节目中英文全文 可关注微信公众号 Zoey八点英语 回复 穿着条纹睡衣的男孩 获取】 【英文参考】 It takes places in one of the cruelest and most shameful moments of human history, the Holocaust. [ˈhoʊləkɔːst大屠杀 ] A young boy named Bruno lives in Berlin, in Nazi Germany. His father is promoted, and relocates their family to Poland. Living without neighbors, Bruno becomes lonely and bored. One day, he spots people working on what he thinks is a farm in the distance – actually it is a concentration camp (集中营). He sneaks into the woods, arriving at a wire fence surrounding the camp. There, he befriends a Jewish boy named Shmuel. In the end, tragically, both of them have died. The film ends by showing the closed door of the silent gas chamber, indicating that all prisoners, including Bruno and Shmuel, are dead. The movie is based on the novel of the same name published in 2006. In the book version, we see how Shmuel and Bruno were born on the exact same day. And yet their lives are completely different. How ironic. “The people I see from my window. In the huts, in the distance. They're all dressed the same.” Ah, those people...well, they're not people at all, Bruno. Bruno once asked Shmuel, “Why do you wear pajamas all day?” Shmuel: The soldiers. They took all our clothes away. Bruno: My dad's a soldier, but not the sort that takes people's clothes away. ” We're not supposed to be friends, you and me. We're meant to be enemies. Did you know that? But before Bruno knows he needs to leave the town with his family, he sneaks out again to find Shmuel, and holds Shumel’s tiny hand in his tightly and says, "You're my best friend, Shmuel. My best friend for life.” …… And then the room went very dark and somehow, despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let it go. “Only the victims and survivors can truly comprehend the awfulness of that time and place; the rest of us live on the other side of the fence, staring through from our own comfortable place, trying in our own clumsy ways to make sense of it all.” In war-torn regions like Syria, we see millions of people fighting for the very freedoms we all take for granted. We may not be aware of the other person’s suffering until we become the other person. Complete equality might be impossible to achieve, but we can be more compassionate towards people who are suffering. 背景音乐： An odd discovery beyond the trees The boy’s plans, from night to day

疫情宅在家的你们都做了些什么呢？One Republic共和乐队可是没闲着，今天和你们分享一首他们隔离期间写的歌Better Days。主唱Ryan Tedder还不小心和一位确诊患者一起吃了pizza，还一起呆了一个晚上…… 【节目全可以关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语 回复 better days 获取】 【英文参考】 Ryan Tedder recalled the first time he decided to go into isolation was when he learned that his friend whom he shared pizza with and spent an entire night with, tested positive for COVID-19. His friend texted him from the hospital about his condition. "He's like, 'Mate, I'm so sorry but you need to go straight to a doctor, you need to get tested. I have coronavirus and it sucks. I'm in the hospital.'" When Tedder learned about his friend’s condition, he immediately called his doctor and was told not to go home to his wife and kids but head straight to his studio. "And then on the third day, I snapped and I was like, you know what, screw this, let's do live concerts every night for free, let's do a cooking show. I'm going to start quarantine cuisining every night. I love to cook and let's connect with the rest of the world." We were in the final week of our fifth album deadline when a global pandemic was declared by the WHO...With only two songs left to finish, one of them happened to be ‘Better Days.’ We write about real experiences and events that happen to us — this is what happens when you write a song during a crisis.” The song’s official music video is also very warmhearted. One Republic has asked their fans around the world to send them their social distancing and self-quarantining videos. I know that there'll be better days that sunshine about to come my way May we never ever shed another tear for today Cause' I know that there'll be better days
