大家好，欢迎回来MaoMi Chinese。今天是MaoMi Chinese的第十八集——青少年用口罩破坏学校椅子。
我们的老朋友们应该知道，我是英格兰一间中学的中文老师。最近，学校里发生了让我很生气，很无语的事情。一些学生用口罩的的带子割开了学校的塑料椅子。这种行为，真的是，太傻了！
在英格兰，很多学校都发生了这种事情，原因是在抖音上有人这样做。抖音，在中国以外的地方叫Tiktok，是一个很多人用的社交媒体。一开始，有一个英国男孩儿用口罩的绳子割开了他在学校的塑料椅子，录了视频，然后上传到抖音上。在这之后，越来越多的学生也跟着这样做。
如果你问我，我对这个事情有什么看法。我只想说，太愚蠢了，太无聊了！当我还是学生的时候，我也做过一些傻事，但是割椅子、破坏公物？他们没有别的事情做吗？
今年二月，英格兰还在封锁的时候，我要给我的学生们上网课。当时也发生了一件让我很生气的事情。Tiktok上一些人怂恿在学校的学生，让他们公开他们的学校账号。然后这些人就可以用学生的账号进入他们的网课，在课堂上捣乱。我的一节中文课就发生过这样的事情，一些人用我的学生的账号进入我的网课，在我的网课上说粗口，放音乐。就算事情已经过去很久了，我还是很愤怒！
希望Tiktok上的一些用户有点良心，求求你们，做个人吧！如果，你也遇到让你很生气、很愤怒的人，你也可以用这一句话：求求你们，做个人吧！这是一个很讽刺的说法。
最后我们来说一说今天的词语和表达吧！
第一个，无语，speechless。比如，我的老板已经让我加班一个月了，太让人无语了！
第二个，破坏，to damage。比如，一些英国中学生用口罩破坏学校的椅子。
第三个，社交媒体，social media。比如，一些年轻人在社交媒体上浪费了太多时间。
第四个，愚蠢，stupid。比如，我们都要好好用脑子，不要做一些愚蠢的事情。
第五个，愤怒，非常非常生气，furious。我知道我的一些学生用口罩破坏学校椅子的时候，我非常愤怒。
第六个，做个人吧！别再做这些愚蠢的事情了，做个人吧！
Hi everyone. Welcome back to MaoMi Chinese. Today it’s episode 18 of MaoMi Chinese - Teenagers damaging school chairs with masks.
Older listeners to the podcast know that I am a Chinese teacher in a school in England. Recently in the school, something happened which made me feel very angry and speechless. Some students used the string of mask to saw through the plastic chairs. This kind of behaviour is just so silly!
In England, there are many schools where this happened. The reason is someone did this on 抖音，which is called Tiktok outside of China. Tiktok is a social media app used by many people. At the beginning, an English boy sawed his school plastic chair by using the string of his mask. He filmed the video and uploaded it to Tiktok. After that, more and more students did the same thing.
If you asked me my opinion on it, I just want to say that this is so stupid and pointless! When I was still a student I also did some silly things, but sawing chairs and damaging public property? Don’t they have something else to do?
This February when England was still in lockdown, I had to deliver online lessons to my students. At that time, something happened that made me very mad. On Tiktok, some people encourage school children to publish their school account. Then these people can access their online lessons with their student accounts and messed around. In one of my Chinese lessons, this thing took place. Some people used my students’ account to enter my online lessons and sweared and played music. Even though this happened long time ago I am still furious!
I hope some Tiktok users can have some sort of conscience. I beg you - please be a normal human being! If you meet some people who made you angry and furious, you can also use this sentence. This is an ironic way of saying.
At last let’s have a look at today’s vocab and expressions!
First, speechless, for example, my boss has made me work overtime for a month. That just made me speechless!
Second, to damage, for example, some English secondary school students damaged school chair with masks.
Third, social media, for example, some young people waste too much time on social medias.
Fourth, stupid, for example, we should use our brain and stop doing stupid things.
Fifth, furious, means very very angry. When I knew that some of my students damaged school chair with their masks, I was furious.
Sixth, just be a normal human being! Don’t do this stupid thing anymore!
