PRECIOSA Y EL AIRE

얼굴이 건조해지면서, 요즘에 피부가 당겨. 뭐 좋은 방법 없을까?
脸变干燥了, 皮肤也很绷。有什么好方法吗? 

난 스킨을 바른 후에, 집중적으로 수분크림을 바르면, 좀 낫더라고. 
我一般涂完爽肤水后, 再集中涂抹保湿霜, 就会好一些。 

나도 해 봐야겠다. 난 인터넷으로 검색만 해봤었거든.
我也要试试。我只在网上搜过。 

행동이 생각보다 훨씬 중요해. 몸 속 수분도 중요하니까, 
물도 자주 마시면 좋아질 거야. 
行动永远比想法重要。体内的水分也很重要, 经常喝水会好起来的。 

건조하다 干燥
당기다 绷
스킨 爽肤水
수분크림 保湿霜

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天要介绍的是美国华裔女演员刘玉玲。她在中国也很有名，特别是2019年她出演的《致命女人》吸引了无数中国粉丝。除了最为人所知的演员身份，她其实还是一名画家、慈善家。我们来听听她的艺术故事吧。
她是好莱坞著名的华裔女星，是大热剧集中的致命女人，但很多人不知道刘玉玲其实还是一个现实中肆意洒脱的艺术家。一副作品卖出17万美元，惊艳众人后才被人得知出自她之手。在父母只关注她的好成绩，期待她成为医生或律师的传统教育下成长，她独自下手改写人生。勇闯好莱坞演戏的同时，挤出时间去专门进修艺术，最终成为家喻户晓、留名好莱坞星光大道的亚裔明星和低调独特的灵魂画手。这一切都是源于她内心深处的自我认同和对人生目标的坚定感。她的作品有的张扬大胆，有的细腻柔软，融合着她自由、真实、坦荡的性格和历经世事的人文关怀。她以形态各异的木头雕塑强调个体的自由，72张看似乱涂的水墨画，展现创作的玩心。以色彩迷人、造型大胆的抽象画，挑战禁忌话题，映射着她在一个避讳谈论“性”的家庭中成长的反思。她曾建议每个人都该努力挣钱，为自己建一个“去你的”基金。也曾说“艺术是教育的一部分，也为人类创造更美好的未来。”她所展现的是一位女性抛开外表仍具有的更迷人的美。我想一直活在一个不对自己设限的世界里。无所畏惧，敢于冒险。
希望她的故事能够给你带来力量。我们下期见。
