我们想展示出来,我们是怎么苦中求乐的 。
So we try to show people the best of the worst situation that we"re in 。
我们发的内容没有虚假,全都很真实,我本来就是很积极向上的人,我只想把这份正能量传递给全世界有类似处境的所有人 。
Nothing on there is really a lie. Everything"s pretty honest because I"m a pretty positive person anyways. And I just wanna spread that positivity to people all around the world who are dealing with the same thing 。
说起抖音,我其实一开始也没想到以这种形式发布消息,但现在我们在抖音上的收获最大,上面有很多积极的评论 。
As far as TikTok goes, that"s not the platform that I would have first thought to do for this kind of news, but it"s been one of the most beneficial ones. There"s a lot of positive comments on there 。
“我没有收政府的钱”
很多人说我是英雄,我觉得有点过奖了,但我也很感激 。
A lot of people are telling me that I"m a hero which I think is a little bit too far, but also I"m very gracious for that 。
当然也有人要我去死,说我发视频是收了政府的钱,都是宣传手段 。
But some people are saying that they wish I would die and that the government is paying me to make these videos and that it"s propaganda 。
我这次就借中国日报的平台说实话 。我没有收政府的钱,视频不是宣传手段,我也不会死,因为我比病毒强大,你们也是 。
And here I am on real China Daily news to tell you. No, I"m not being paid by the government. It"s not propaganda and I"m not gonna die because I"m stronger than this virus. And you are too 。
我只希望给孩子们做好榜样,因为我希望他们能为自己在乎的事大胆发声,以后也可以有自己的抖音账号,也会有人认真听他们的想法 。
I just care about being a good role model for my kids, because I want them to be able to speak up about the things that are important to them and maybe someday have their own TikTok channels where they can have people listening to the important things they have to say 。
我只是从自己的角度发布消息,美国有很多人面对病毒已经抓狂了 。
I"m just here to give the news from my perspective. A lot of people in the United States are freaking out about this virus 。
我发视频的时候,有人说,你是白人,肯定不会感染病毒 。但病毒不是这样的,现在已经扩散到了全世界,并且与种族完全无关 。
When I posted one of my videos, someone said, obviously, you"re not going to get the virus because you"re white. But that"s not how the virus works. It"s spread all over the world now. It doesn"t care what your race is 。
有人说病毒专门感染中国人 。我觉得大家应该各退一步,相互妥协一下,这样才能消除疫情带来的种种负面影响 。
People that are saying that are just racist against Chinese people. So I think that everyone just needs to take a step back and meet each other in the middle, so that we can mitigate all of the negative effects that have been coming from this 。
隔离前后的日常
我的日常生活也发生了很大变化 。
My daily life has definitely changed 。
隔离之前,我起床后就去公司完成工作,周末会出去采购,同时逛逛武汉 。
Before the quarantine, I would wake up and come into the office and do various tasks. And I"d spend the weekends going grocery shopping and exploring the city of Wuhan 。
有次我在地铁上,一直坐到了终点站,最后到了东湖,那是武汉的著名景点,很美 。那之后我就没什么机会出去了 。
One time I jumped onto the metro link and I just took it very far in one direction. And I ended up at East Lake, which is actually a really pretty lake that"s famous in Wuhan. Since then I haven"t really been able to go outside much 。
隔离开始第一天,我们去超市,蔬菜都被买光了,大家都赶着抢方便面、大米,还有其他日用品 。
On the first day when we went to the supermarket, all of the vegetables had been taken off of the shelves, and bought, and everybody was running around trying to get instant noodles and rice and other things for their home 。
过几天情况就好多了,可以去日常采购了 。
