你今天me time了吗？

今天你Me Time了吗？

Me Time渐渐成为了热门趋势。什么是Me Time？今天看了21世纪英文报我才知道。“一人食”和“一个人旅行”等一个人的所有活动我们都可以视为Me Time. 听说就连英国王妃梅根也为这种“个人专属时间”(me time) 打call呢~

If you’ve ever traveled with other people, chances are you’ve had to make compromises. When you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, for example, your friends may argue that getting enough sleep is more important. And when you want to try the exotic food, your friends might say it looks weird and drag you to a Chinese restaurant instead.

如果你与他人出游，很有可能需要迁就彼此。打个比方，当你想早起看日出时，你的朋友或许觉得睡觉更重要。当你想尝试异国风情的食物时，你的朋友或许会觉得那有点奇怪，而将你拉去了一家中餐馆。

This is probably why more people these days are choosing to travel alone. According to reports on holiday habits from the Association of British Travel Agents, the percentage of people in the UK who take solo trips has been increasing, from 6 percent in 2011, to 12 percent in 2017, and to 15 percent in 2018. Most of these people said they choose to travel alone because this allows them to “do what they want”.

这或许是越来越多的人选择独自旅行的原因。据英国旅行社协会关于度假习惯的报告显示，独自出游的英国人比例正在上升，从2011年的6%，到2017年的12%，再增至2018年的15%。这其中，大多数人表示，他们选择独自出游，是因为这能令他们“做自己想做的事”。

In fact, traveling alone is only a part of a recent trend of people wanting to take more time alone – or what’s called “me time”.

事实上，近来人们希望拥有更多独处时光（所谓的“私人专属时间”）成为了一种趋势，而独自出游只是其中的一小部分罢了。
