私は韓国の歌手、IU（アイユー）が大好きだ。彼女が舞台（ぶたい）挨拶（あいさつ）のために来日（らいにち）することを知り、一度は本物（ほんもの）をこの目で拝（おが）みたい！と思ったので、東京の映画館で行（おこな）われる舞台挨拶のチケットをネットで申し込んだ。抽選販売だったので、当（あ）たるか外（はず）れるかドキドキしたが、結果はハズレだった。IUが来日することなんて滅多（めった）にないから残念（ざんねん）だったが、抽選結果を待つあの時間が楽しかった。彼女が次に来日するときは、抽選でアタリを引（ひ）きたい！

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【命运和选择】的话题。
这两天，一个名为《回村三天，二舅治好了我的精神内耗》的视频在网上火了起来。两天的时间，1900多万的播放量、12万条评论、300多万的点赞和投币、100多万的收藏和转发。视频讲述了生活在农村的二舅平凡又有力量的一生，感动了很多人。二舅小学和初中都是全校第一，因为发烧后医生的错误治疗导致一辈子残疾。但是二舅并没有怨天尤人，他辛勤地做木工活赚钱，不仅领养了一个小女孩，还照顾着八十多岁的老母亲。除此之外，他还免费帮村里的邻居修各种电器。如果不是因为那次意外，二舅的人生会是完全不一样的结局。但是二舅从来没有这样想过，他的人生拿到了一副烂牌，但是他把这副烂牌打得很精彩。
作者说自己是个四肢健全、上过大学的人，又生在一个充满机遇的时代，他理应度过一个比二舅更为饱满的人生，而不应该因为一些暂时的小困难而陷入精神内耗。我想这也是很多人看了这个视频后很触动的原因，我们在二舅身上看到了勇气和对生活的热爱。
如果你是二舅，你会做什么样的选择呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
