INDIVIDUALISM vs COLLECTIVISM (1/2) Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions | More than English Podcast #012

大家好 欢迎来到我的播客 今天聊什么
今天我们聊一聊，睡午觉！
睡午觉就是中午的时候睡觉，一般睡很短的时间，比如睡30分钟、睡15分钟
你有没有睡午觉的习惯呢？很多中国人都有睡午觉的习惯。
如果你问一个在美国公司工作的中国人：“工作当中最不适应的地方是什么？”
很多人可能会想到文化差异、语言、思维方式（想问题的方式）等等常见的话题。其实，首先让他们不习惯的是：中午不方便睡觉

不同的办公室文化，是因为每个国家都有不同历史文化传统。对讲求个人空间和隐私的美国人来说，在办公室呼呼大睡，是非常不合适的。这时候，人们一般会喝一杯咖啡。

午睡、睡午觉在美国办公室文化中很少见到，但科学家开始研究午睡对午餐后困倦(post-lunch dip)的作用。睡眠专家David Dinges指出，在办公室、工厂和别的工作环境，人们在吃午饭以后的时段比别的上班时间更容易犯错误。也有科学家说，60分钟到90分钟的午睡，可以提高你的记忆力。

睡午觉，是为了下午工作更好，更有精神；不睡午觉，是为了有时间做更多事。不同国家，有不同的办公室文化。欢迎你跟我上课讨论，你们国家的办公室文化。今天的播客就到这里，下次再见

今天聊什么

什么！在办公室睡觉！

Listen to me reading a news article about education in the UK from my Conversational English course. 

T-levels are a new type of exam course that was rolled out in the UK in 2020. T-Levels are two-year vocational courses taken after GCSEs, which focus on subjects like education, construction and IT, and include a work placement.

（1）“点”and“分”are used to express time in Chinese, observing the principle of “the bigger unit preceding the smaller unit”.
“点”means “o’clock”, indicating a whole hour. For example：
9:00 →九点(jiǔ diǎn)
11:00 → 十一点( shí yī diǎn)
2:00 →两点(liǎng diǎn )

*Note: The counterpart of 2 o'clock in Chinese is “两点(liǎng diǎn)” instead of “二点(èr
diǎn)”.

（2）If it is not a “whole-hour” time, “分” is used. The pattern is “……点……分”. For example:
5:30→五点三十分(wǔ diǎn sān shí fēn) 
11:10→十一点十分(shí yì diǎn shí fēn) 
2:05→两点零五分(liǎnɡ diǎn línɡ wǔ fēn)
 
（3）To distinguish atime before noon from one afternoon, the pattern“上午(morning)点(……分)”or“下午(afternoon)……点(……分)”is used. For example:
8:00am→上午八点(shànɡ wǔ bā diǎn) 
5:25pm→下午五点二十五分(xià wǔ wǔ diǎn èr shí wǔ fēn)
