And by the end, you'll be able to talk about your own free time naturally and confidently.
到了最后，你将能够自然且自信地谈论自己的空闲时间。
Let's get started.
我们开始吧。
During the work week, people often struggle to find free time.
在工作日里，人们常常难以找到属于自己的空闲时间。
Think about your work week right now.
现在，请回想一下你这一周的工作情况。
Do you often have free Time in the evenings for hobbies, to relax and to do the things you want to do.
你晚上经常有空闲时间来从事自己喜欢的爱好、放松身心，或者做自己想做的事情吗？
If so, this is the case for most people now in the UK.
如果是这样的话，那么现在在英国的大多数人都是这种情况。
Many people finish work around 5:00, sometimes 6:00, and they have to get up for work the next day.
很多人在下午5点左右下班，有时是6点，而第二天他们又必须早起去上班。
So the evenings are very precious.
因此，夜晚的时间非常宝贵。
They're really important to people.
它们对人们来说非常重要。
This is their free time during the week.
这是他们一周中的空闲时间。
Now later, we're gonna talk about holidays and how they differ in the UK and the USA.
稍后，我们会讨论节假日的相关内容，以及英国和美国在这些方面的差异。
But for now, we're focusing on the work week in the US.
不过目前，我们主要关注美国的工作周情况。
Work hours can be a little longer.
工作时间可能会稍长一些。
Some people work a little longer in the US, but on average, I'd say the very Similar people finish around 5 or 6.
在美国，有些人工作时间会稍长一些，但总体而言，我认为情况大致相同：大多数人会在下午 5 点或 6 点左右结束工作。
A typical everyday office job, let's say, so people in their free time after work usually do one of two things.
假设这是一份典型的日常办公室工作：那么人们在下班后的空闲时间里，通常会做以下两件事中的一件。
It falls into two different categories.
它可以分为两大不同的类别。
They either relax or they do something active.
他们要么放松休息，要么进行一些积极的活动。
For example, you might hear someone say, "I try to wind down in the evening by reading a book."
例如，你可能会听到有人说：“我晚上会通过读书来放松心情。
I tried to wind down in the evening.
晚上，我试图让自己放松下来。
So, to wind down is a phrasal verb, and I'll leave a playlist to all of our phrasal verb lessons.
那么，“to wind down”（放松、结束活动）是一个短语动词。我会为所有关于短语动词的课程准备一个播放列表（即包含相关练习内容的音频或视频文件）。
But to wind down means to relax after a busy day.
但是，“放松下来”意味着在忙碌的一天之后休息、放松身心。
Some people like to hit the gym straight after work.
有些人喜欢下班后直接去健身房锻炼。
Hit the gym, and to hit the gym means to.

Go to the gym, and this is a very specific phrase that we use when going to the gym.
去健身房吧——这是一个我们在去健身房时经常会使用的具体表达。
And the gym is often busy, or it's busiest around 5:30 or 6,
健身房通常很热闹，尤其是在下午5:30到6点这个时间段，人流量达到最大。
when people go to the gym on the way back from work.
当人们下班后去健身房的时候。
Personally, my day is all over the place, which means I don't usually have a set schedule due to family and different types of work commitments.
就我个人而言，我的一天安排得非常混乱；由于家庭责任以及各种工作安排，我通常没有固定的时间表。
However, what I like to do is this: I like to put on a podcast or catch up on a podcast,
不过，我喜欢做的事情是这样的：我会听一档播客节目，或者补听之前错过的播客内容。
which means to listen to something I've missed, and cook dinner.
这意味着我要听一些我之前错过的内容，然后去做晚饭。
So I love doing this: put on music, put on a podcast, and cook dinner.
所以我非常喜欢这样做：播放音乐、收听播客，然后做晚餐。
