TASK 55 - MASKS 


古(gǔ)时候(shí hòu)有(yǒu)个(gè)音乐家(yīn yuè jiā)，名字(míng zì)叫(jiào)公明仪(gōng míng yí)。他(tā)擅长(shàn cháng)音乐(yīn yuè)，琴(qín)声(shēng)非常(fēi cháng)美(měi)，人们(rén men)听(tīng)到(dào)他(tā)的(de)琴(qín)声(shēng)都(dōu)很(hěn)享受(xiǎng shòu)。
有(yǒu)一(yī)年(nián)春天(chūn tiān)，他(tā)带(dài)着(zhe)琴(qín)来(lái)到(dào)城(chéng)外(wài)散步(sàn bù)，天气(tiān qì)和(hé)环境(huán jìng)都(dōu)很(hěn)好(hǎo)。他(tā)发现(fā xiàn)在(zài)不(bù)远(yuǎn)的(de)地方(dì fāng)有(yǒu)一(yī)头(tóu)牛(niú)在(zài)吃(chī)草(cǎo)，突然(tū rán)想(xiǎng)为(wèi)这(zhè)头(tóu)牛(niú)演奏(yǎn zòu)音乐(yīn yuè)，于是(yú shì)他(tā)弹(tán)了(le)一(yī)首(shǒu)非常(fēi cháng)高雅(gāo yǎ)的(de)曲子(qǔ zi)。虽然(suī rán)他(tā)的(de)音乐(yīn yuè)非常(fēi cháng)好听(hǎo tīng)，但是(dàn shì)牛(niú)却(què)根本(gēn běn)不(bù)理(lǐ)他(tā)，继续(jì xù)低头(dī tóu)吃(chī)草(cǎo)。公明仪(gōng míng yí)发现(fā xiàn)好听(hǎo tīng)的(de)音乐(yīn yuè)不(bù)能(néng)打动(dǎ dòng)这(zhè)头(tóu)牛(niú)，就(jiù)开始(kāi shǐ)弹(dàn)一些(yī xiē)奇怪(qí guài)的(de)声音(shēng yīn)，有的(yǒu de)像(xiàng)小(xiǎo)虫(chóng)，有的(yǒu de)像(xiàng)小(xiǎo)牛(niú)。这(zhè)时候(shí hòu)这(zhè)头(tóu)牛(niú)好像(hǎo xiàng)听(tīng)明白(míng bái)了(le)，认真(rèn zhēn)听(tīng)起来(qǐ lái)。
后来(hòu lái)人们(rén men)用(yòng)“对牛弹琴(duì niú tán qín)”这(zhè)个(gè)成语(chéng yǔ)形容(xíng róng)对(duì)愚蠢(yú chǔn)的(de)人(rén)讲(jiǎng)深刻(shēn kè)的(de)道理(dào lǐ)，或者(huò zhě)是(shì)对(duì)外行(wài háng)人(rén)说(shuō)内行(nèi háng)话(huà)，都(dōu)是(shì)白白(bái bái)浪费(làng fèi)时间(shí jiān)，也(yě)用(yòng)来(lái)嘲笑(cháo xiào)说话(shuō huà)不(bù)看(kàn)对象(duì xiàng)的(de)人(rén)。

【躺平】 

面对996或者007的高压工作、高额的房价、微薄的薪水以及难以跨越的社会阶层生活，新一代的部分年轻人感觉非常辛苦，所以选择了另一种生活态度，面对激烈的竞争不再拼命地奋斗并且降低自己的物质欲望。在我看来，躺平也可能是一种新的生活哲学，适当地躺平，有助于年轻人缓解压力和排解不良的情绪。过度地躺平可能会阻止自己或者社会的发展和进步


Miàn duì 996 huòzhě 007 de gāoyā gōngzuò, gāo é de fángjià, wéibó de xīnshuǐ yǐjí nányǐ kuàyuè de shèhuì jiēcéng shēnghuó, xīn yí dài de bù fen niánqīng rén gǎnjué fēicháng xīnkǔ, suǒyǐ xuǎnzéle lìng yì zhǒng shēnghuó tàidu, miàn duì jīliè de jìngzhēng bú zài pīnmìng de fèndòu bìngqiě jiàngdī zìjǐ de wùzhí yùwàng.

Facing the  high-pressure jobs as 996 or 007, high housing prices, low salary salaries, and social class life that is difficult to cross, some young people in the new generation feel very hard, so they choose another life attitude, and face fierce competition. Work hard and lower your material desires. In my opinion, 躺平 may also be a new philosophy of life. Properly躺平 can help young people relieve stress and relieve bad emotions. 躺平 excessively may prevent the development and progress of oneself or society
