聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯

Good morning everyone. So today we are going to look at an important creative activity, and that is hand knitting. Ancient knitted garments have been found in many different countries, showing that knitting is a global activity with a long history. When someone says the word "knitting," we might well picture an elderly person, a grandmother perhaps, sitting by the fire, knitting garments for themselves or other members of the family. 

大家早上好。今天，我們將討論一項(xiàng)重要的創(chuàng)造性活動(dòng)，那就是手工編織。許多不同的國(guó)家都發(fā)現(xiàn)了古代針織服裝，這表明編織是一項(xiàng)具有悠久歷史的全球性活動(dòng)。當(dāng)有人說(shuō)“編織”這個(gè)詞時(shí)，我們很可能會(huì)想象一位老人，也許是一位祖母，坐在爐火旁，為自己或其他家庭成員編織衣服。

It's a homely image, but one that may lead you to feel that knitting is an activity of the past. And indeed, during the previous decade, it was one of the skills that was predicted to vanish from everyday life. For although humans have sewn and knitted their own clothing for a very long time, many of these craft-based skills went into decline when industrial machines took over, mainly because they were no longer passed down from one generation to another.

這是一個(gè)樸素的畫(huà)面，但可能會(huì)讓你覺(jué)得編織是一種過(guò)去的活動(dòng)。事實(shí)上，在過(guò)去的十年里，它是被預(yù)測(cè)將從日常生活中消失的技能之一。因?yàn)楸M管人類(lèi)縫制和編織自己的衣服已經(jīng)有很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間了，但隨著工業(yè)機(jī)器的接管，許多這些基于工藝的技能逐漸衰落，主要是因?yàn)樗鼈儾辉俅鄠鳌?/p>

However, that's all changing, and interest in knitting classes in many countries is actually rising, as more and more people are seeking formal instruction in the skill. With that trend, we're also seeing an increase in the sales figures for knitting equipment. So, why do people want to be taught to knit at a time when a machine can readily do the job for them? The answer is that knitting as a handicraft has numerous benefits for those doing it. 

然而，這一切都在改變，許多國(guó)家對(duì)編織課程的興趣實(shí)際上正在上升，因?yàn)樵絹?lái)越多的人正在尋求這項(xiàng)技能的正規(guī)指導(dǎo)。隨著這一趨勢(shì)的發(fā)展，針織設(shè)備的銷(xiāo)售數(shù)字也在增長(zhǎng)。那么，為什么人們?cè)跈C(jī)器可以輕松完成工作的時(shí)代還想學(xué)習(xí)編織呢？答案是，編織作為一種手工藝，對(duì)從事編織的人來(lái)說(shuō)有很多好處。

Let's consider what some of these might be. While many people knitted garments in the past because they couldn't afford to buy clothes, it's still true today that knitting can be helpful if you're experiencing economic hardship. If you have several children who all need warm winter clothes, knitting may save you a lot of money, and the results of knitting your own clothes can be very rewarding. 

讓我們考慮一下其中的一些好處。雖然過(guò)去許多人因?yàn)橘I(mǎi)不起衣服而編織衣服，但今天，如果你遇到經(jīng)濟(jì)困難，編織仍然會(huì)有所幫助。如果你有幾個(gè)孩子都需要溫暖的冬裝，編織可以為你省下很多錢(qián)，而自己編織衣服的結(jié)果可能是非常值得的。

Even though the skills you need to get going are really quite basic, and the financial outlay is minimal, the more significant benefits in today's world are to do with wellbeing. In a world where it's estimated that we spend up to 9 hours a day online, doing something with our hands that is craft-based makes us feel good. It releases us from the stress of a technological, fast-paced life.

盡管你需要的技能真的很基礎(chǔ)，而且財(cái)務(wù)支出很少，但在當(dāng)今世界，更重要的好處與幸福有關(guān)。在這個(gè)估計(jì)我們每天在網(wǎng)上花費(fèi)長(zhǎng)達(dá)9個(gè)小時(shí)的世界里，用我們的雙手做一些基于工藝的事情會(huì)讓我們感覺(jué)很好。它使我們擺脫了科技和快節(jié)奏生活的壓力。
