Relaxation is not simply important for your physical self, it will positively affect your spirit, your mind, your body and your overall well-being.
情景对话1：办公室里的两个人在谈论看电视的事情。
Allen: Are you watching the TV series now shown on Channel 8? 你看八频道的电视剧了吗？
Ben: No, I haven't been watching it. I don't care much for soap operas. They are just not my cup of tea. 没有，我没看。我不喜欢看肥皂剧，我对它没有兴趣。
Allen: Nor are they mine. They are too confusing. But a lot of people enjoy watching them. They say soaps are entertaining. 我也是。它们太莫名其妙。但是好多人都喜欢看，说肥皂剧很有意思。
Ben: Yes, only two kinds of people like watching soap operas. 哦，只有两种人才看电视剧。
Allen: Who are they? 哪两种人？
Ben: Those who don't have to work and those who have too much work. The former need something to help them kill time and the latter need something to take their minds off work. 从来不上班的和上班太累的人。第一种人用它打发时间，而第二种人用它来放松。
Allen: You are exactly right. I prefer news and science programs. 你说得太对了。我喜欢新闻和科普节目。
Ben: Me, too. I think they are both informative and entertaining. 我也是。我觉得看这些节目既能了解信息又有意思。
Notes：
1 They are just not my cup of tea. cup of tea 意思是“喜欢的东西，合意的人”。
例句： Travelling is just his cup of tea.
2 The former need something to help them kill time and the latter need something to take their minds off work. kill time 消磨时间
例句： The train was late so I killed an hour's time window shopping.
