Conversation content

🕺: "早上好！你今天不上班吗？"

🕺: "Good morning! Aren't you going to work today?"

💃: "早上好！我今天休息。"

💃: "Good morning! I'm taking a day off today."

💃: "你呢？怎么没去公司？"

💃: "What about you? Why didn't you go to the company?"

🕺: "哈哈，我今天也没去。其实，我现在不用每天去办公室了。"

🕺: "Haha, I didn't go today either. Actually, I don't have to go to the office every day now."

💃: "哇，真的吗？你换工作了？"

💃: "Wow, really? You changed jobs?"

🕺: "不，我还是做老工作，只是现在可以在家工作，有时候也不用做。"

🕺: "No, I still have my old job, but now I can work from home and sometimes I don't have to."

💃: "听起来不错呀！那你今天在家干嘛呢？"

💃: "That sounds great! So what are you doing at home today?"

🕺: "喝咖啡，晒太阳，想一想怎么不用上班也能赚钱。"

🕺: "Drinking coffee, basking in the sun, and thinking about how to make money without going to work."

💃: "不用上班也能赚钱？你是中彩票了吗？"

💃: "You can make money without working? Did you win the lottery?"

🕺: "哈哈，不是啦。我最近在学习怎么用别的方式赚钱，比如在网上卖东西、写文章，还有拍视频。"

🕺: "Haha, no. I'm currently learning how to make money in other ways, such as selling things online, writing articles, and shooting videos."

💃: "哇，听起来很新鲜！你真的能赚到钱吗？"

💃: "Wow, that sounds new! Can you really make money?"

🕺: "一开始不多，但是慢慢就有了。关键是每天都坚持。"

🕺: "Not much at first, but slowly it grows. The key is to stick with it every day."

💃: "那你今天准备做什么来赚钱？"

💃: "So what are you going to do today to make money?"

🕺: "我想先写一篇小文章，然后把我不要的旧书拍照发到网上看看能不能卖掉。"

🕺: "I want to write a short article first, then take photos of my old books that I don't want and post them online to see if I can sell them."

💃: "好有意思哦。我也有很多旧衣服，可能也能卖掉？"

💃: "That's very interesting. I also have a lot of old clothes, maybe I can sell them too?"

🕺: "当然可以啊！现在很多人喜欢买二手的，便宜又环保。"

🕺: "Of course! Nowadays many people like to buy second-hand products, which are cheap and environmentally friendly."

💃: "听你这么说，我也想试试看。今天我们来聊聊这个话题吧！"

💃: "Hearing you say that, I also want to give it a try. Let's talk about this topic today!"

🕺: "好啊！今天我们的主题就是：“如果今天不上班，你怎么赚钱？"

🕺: "Okay! Today our topic is: "If you don't go to work today, how do you make money?"

💃: "对，我们一起分享一下不同的赚钱方式吧，看看有没有适合大家的！"

💃: "Yes, let's share different ways to make money and see if there is one that suits everyone!"

🕺: "其实我最近刚卖掉了一些旧东西。"

🕺: "Actually, I just sold some old stuff recently."

💃: "卖什么啊？在哪里卖的？"

💃: "What are you selling? Where are you selling it?"

🕺: "我把以前的旧衣服、一本书，还有一把吉他放在二手平台上卖了。"

🕺: "I put my old clothes, a book, and a guitar on a second-hand platform to sell."

💃: "哇，你连吉他都卖？那不是你的宝贝吗？"

💃: "Wow, you even sell guitars? Isn't that your baby?"

🕺: "哈哈，是以前的宝贝啦，现在已经很久没弹了，放着也是放着，不如卖掉换点钱。"

🕺: "Haha, this is my old treasure. I haven't played it for a long time. It's just sitting there anyway, so I might as well sell it for some money."

💃: "说得有道理。那卖得好吗？"

💃: "That makes sense. Is it selling well?"

💃: "有人买吗？"

💃: "Anyone buy it?"

🕺: "有啊，而且比我想象的快。有个男生看了照片，马上就联系我。"

🕺: "Yes, and it happened faster than I thought. A boy saw the photo and contacted me right away."

💃: "他是在哪里买的？你是怎么寄出去的？"

💃: "Where did he buy it? How did you send it?"

🕺: "在闲鱼上。我拍了几张照片，写上简单介绍和价格。"

🕺: "On Xianyu. I took a few photos and wrote a brief introduction and price."

🕺: "他下单后，我就去快递点寄出去，很方便。"

🕺: "After he placed the order, I went to the courier to send it out. It was very convenient."

💃: "真不错。我也有很多衣服不穿了，还有一些用不到的小东西。"

💃: "That's great. I also have a lot of clothes that I don't wear anymore, and some small things that I don't use anymore."

💃: "是不是也可以卖？"

💃: "Can I sell it, too?"

🕺: "可以的！现在很多人都在网上买二手的，不但便宜，而且也环保。"

🕺: "Yes! Now many people buy second-hand ones online, which is not only cheap but also environmentally friendly."

💃: "我平时买得多，倒没想过也可以卖。你觉得第一次卖，应该卖什么好？"

💃: "I usually buy a lot, but I never thought I could sell. What do you think I should sell for the first time?"

🕺: "最好是卖干净的、保存好的，比如你穿不下的衣服，或者用过几次的小电器。"

🕺: "It's best to sell clean, well-preserved items, such as clothes you no longer wear, or small appliances that have been used a few times."

💃: "我有一个吹风机，只用过两次，然后我又买了一个新的。"

💃: "I had a hair dryer that I only used twice before I bought a new one."

🕺: "那就很适合卖。你拍几张照片，放在网上，加上说明“几乎全新”，应该很快有人买。"

🕺: "Then it's perfect for selling. Take a few photos, put them online, and add a description of "almost new", and someone should buy it soon."

💃: "那我晚上就试试看。是不是还可以设定价格？"

💃: "Then I'll try it tonight. Can I set the price?"

🕺: "对，你可以写“可小刀”，就是可以买家还价。大家都会先问能不能便宜一点。"

🕺: "Yes, you can write "可小刀", which means you can bargain. Everyone will first ask if it can be cheaper."

💃: "哈哈，原来网上也可以“砍价”啊。"

💃: "Haha, it turns out you can bargain online too."

🕺: "是的，跟菜市场一样，大家都想便宜点买。"

🕺: "Yes, just like in the market, everyone wants to buy at a cheaper price."

💃: "那你觉得，一个月靠卖这些能赚多少钱？"

💃: "So how much do you think you can make from selling these in a month?"

🕺: "不一定，看你有多少东西，有的人一个月能卖好几百块。"

🕺: "Not necessarily. It depends on how much stuff you have. Some people can sell hundreds of dollars a month."

💃: "听起来也不错啊，至少可以当买咖啡的钱。"

💃: "That sounds good, at least it can be used as money to buy coffee."

🕺: "对啊，而且清理一下家里也挺好的。"

🕺: "Yeah, and it's nice to clean up the house."

💃: "我房间里真的太多没用的东西了。衣服、包包、旧书……"

💃: "There are so many useless things in my room. Clothes, bags, old books..."

🕺: "都可以试试看。你会发现，其实很多人需要这些旧东西。"

🕺: "You can give it a try. You will find that many people actually need these old things."

💃: "好吧，那我今天晚上来整理一下，明天开始上传！"

💃: "Okay, I'll sort it out tonight and start uploading it tomorrow!"

🕺: "没问题，我可以教你怎么拍照，写介绍，要写得清楚一点。"

🕺: "No problem, I can teach you how to take photos and write a description clearly."

💃: "要写什么？比如这件衣服，我该写什么？"

💃: "What should I write? For example, what should I write about this dress?"

🕺: "写颜色、尺寸、买的时候多少钱、用了多久，还有有没有什么问题。"

🕺: "Write down the color, size, how much it cost when you bought it, how long you have used it, and if there are any problems."

💃: "哦，明白了。那我写：“红色连衣裙，M码，只穿过两次，无破损。"

💃: "Oh, I see. Then I'll write: "Red dress, size M, only worn twice, no damage."

💃: "”这样可以吗？"

💃: ""Is this okay?"

🕺: "完全可以。你还可以加一句“很适合夏天穿”，这样更吸引人。"

🕺: "Absolutely. You can also add "very suitable for summer wear" to make it more attractive."

💃: "好的好的，我学到了！你真的是“二手卖货小达人”啊！"

💃: "Okay, okay, I got it! You really are a "second-hand sales expert"!"

🕺: "哈哈，还差得远呢，我也是慢慢摸索的。"

🕺: "Haha, I'm still a long way from here. I'm also learning slowly."

💃: "那除了卖旧东西，你还做别的赚钱吗？"

💃: "Besides selling old stuff, do you do anything else to make money?"

🕺: "有啊，我还做一点自由职业的工作。比如帮人写东西、翻译文件什么的。"

🕺: "Yes, I also do some freelance work. For example, I help people write things, translate documents and so on."

💃: "哇，听起来你不用上班也挺忙的。"

💃: "Wow, sounds like you're pretty busy even without work."

🕺: "是啊，但这是我喜欢的生活，比较自由，还可以自己安排时间。"

🕺: "Yes, but this is the life I like. It's more free and I can arrange my own time."

💃: "嗯，我开始觉得，不上班也不是件坏事呢。只要肯动脑，办法还是很多的。"

💃: "Well, I'm beginning to think that not working is not a bad thing. As long as you are willing to use your brain, there are still many ways to solve the problem."

🕺: "对！只要不懒，每天试一点新的事情，说不定就能找到适合自己的方式赚钱。"

🕺: "Yes! As long as you are not lazy and try something new every day, you may find a way to make money that suits you."

💃: "你刚才说你还做自由职业，那你怎么接到工作的？"

💃: "You just said you're still a freelancer, so how do you get the jobs?"

🕺: "我是在一个网站上注册的，有人发需求，我就去接单。"

🕺: "I registered on a website, and when someone posted a demand, I took the order."

💃: "什么网站啊？是不是很难？"

💃: "What website is this? Is it difficult?"

🕺: "不难啊，有个叫“猪八戒”的，还有“人人都是产品经理”的平台。我填好资料，别人看到觉得我写得不错，就联系我。"

🕺: "It's not difficult. There is a platform called "Zhu Bajie" and "Everyone is a Product Manager". I filled in the information, and others saw that I wrote well and contacted me."

💃: "你是写什么内容？文章吗？"

💃: "What do you write? Articles?"

🕺: "有时候是产品介绍，有时候是短文。比如帮商家写广告语、写公众号文章，还有翻译。"

🕺: "Sometimes it's a product introduction, sometimes it's a short article. For example, I help businesses write slogans, write articles for public accounts, and do translations."

💃: "哇，好厉害！那你中文一定很好。"

💃: "Wow, that's amazing! Your Chinese must be very good then."

🕺: "还行吧，不过最重要是表达清楚。其实很多工作要求不高，只要认真就行。"

🕺: "It's OK, but the most important thing is to express yourself clearly. In fact, many jobs don't require high standards, as long as you are serious."

💃: "那你怎么保证每天都有工作呢？"

💃: "So how do you guarantee you'll have work every day?"

🕺: "一开始不多，我每天都看有没有新的订单，先接几个简单的，慢慢就有人找我了。"

🕺: "Not many at the beginning. I checked every day to see if there were any new orders. I took a few simple ones at first, and then people came to me slowly."

💃: "我明白了，先做小的，积累经验。"

💃: "I understand. Start small and gain experience."

🕺: "对，而且服务好一个客户，他可能会推荐你。"

🕺: "Yes, and if you serve a customer well, he might recommend you."

💃: "我会一点点插画，也可以试试看接点小单吗？"

💃: "I know a little bit about illustration, can I try to take some small orders?"

🕺: "当然可以！你可以把自己的作品放在网上，比如小红书或者豆瓣。"

🕺: "Of course! You can put your work online, such as Xiaohongshu or Douban."

🕺: "也可以开一个账号，慢慢会有人关注你。"

🕺: "You can also open an account, and people will follow you slowly."

💃: "我平时画得多，但没想过可以赚钱。"

💃: "I usually draw a lot, but I never thought I could make money from it."

🕺: "很多插画师都从兴趣开始的，一开始接几十块的小单，后来做大了还可以出书、卖周边。"

🕺: "Many illustrators started out as a hobby, taking small orders of a few dozen yuan at first, and then when they got bigger, they could publish books and sell peripherals."

💃: "听起来很美好，可是我怕自己不够专业。"

💃: "It sounds great, but I'm afraid I'm not professional enough."

🕺: "别怕，网上很多客户也不是专业的，他们只是需要一张图、一个设计。只要你能完成，他就满意。"

🕺: "Don't be afraid, many online clients are not professionals. They just need a picture or a design. As long as you can complete it, they will be satisfied."

💃: "嗯……那我也试试。我先做一个简单的头像图，发发看。"

💃: "Hmm... I'll give it a try. I'll make a simple avatar and post it."

🕺: "好主意！可以先画一张送给朋友，再请他们帮你转发。"

🕺: "Good idea! You can draw one and send it to your friends, then ask them to forward it for you."

💃: "对！我就画你吧，作为我的第一张“作品图”！"

💃: "Yes! I will draw you as my first "work picture"!"

🕺: "哈哈，好啊，我很荣幸！你画完我就发朋友圈帮你推广！"

🕺: "Haha, sure, I'm honored! Once you finish drawing, I'll post it on WeChat Moments to help you promote it!"

💃: "成交！那我画得丑了你别怪我。"

💃: "Deal! Don't blame me if my drawing is ugly."

🕺: "没问题，我本来就不帅，画丑点也正常。"

🕺: "No problem, I'm not handsome anyway, so it's normal to draw ugly."

💃: "哈哈哈，你也太自黑了吧。"

💃: "Hahaha, you are too self-deprecating."

🕺: "其实我觉得现在这个时代，技能真的比文凭更重要。只要你会点什么，就有机会赚钱。"

🕺: "I think in this day and age, skills are more important than diplomas. As long as you know something, you have the opportunity to make money."

💃: "对，我以前总觉得一定要找一份“正经工作”，现在才知道，有时候兴趣也可以变成工作。"

💃: "Yes, I used to think that I had to find a "proper job", but now I know that sometimes hobbies can also become jobs."

🕺: "没错。关键是要开始去试，不要怕失败。"

🕺: "Exactly. The key is to start trying and not be afraid of failure."

💃: "嗯，那我决定了，今天晚上我就把之前画的几张插画整理一下，上传去小红书。"

💃: "Well, I've decided. Tonight I'll organize the illustrations I drew before and upload them to Xiaohongshu."

🕺: "太棒了！要相信自己，慢慢来就好。"

🕺: "Great! Believe in yourself and take your time."

💃: "谢谢你啊，要不是你，我还不知道有这么多种赚钱的方法。"

💃: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know there are so many ways to make money."

🕺: "我们互相学习嘛，说不定以后你变成插画博主，我还得找你帮我画头像。"

🕺: "We can learn from each other. Maybe you will become an illustration blogger in the future, and I will have to ask you to draw my avatar for me."

💃: "哈哈哈，那你可得先预约，不然排不上号了！"

💃: "Hahaha, then you have to make an appointment first, otherwise you won't be able to get a number!"

🕺: "没问题，到时候我做你的第一个大客户！"

🕺: "No problem, I'll be your first big customer then!"

💃: "对了，你除了写东西、卖旧物、做自由职业，还有别的赚钱方式吗？"

💃: "By the way, besides writing, selling old stuff, and freelancing, do you have other ways to make money?"

🕺: "有啊，我也试过一点小投资。"

🕺: "Yes, I have tried a little bit of investment."

💃: "投资？你是买股票那种吗？"

💃: "Investment? Do you buy stocks?"

💃: "听起来好像很难。"

💃: "That sounds difficult."

🕺: "其实也没那么复杂。我不是天天炒股，就是买一点点放着，慢慢等它涨。"

🕺: "It's not that complicated actually. I don't trade stocks every day, I just buy a little bit and wait for it to rise slowly."

💃: "那你第一次买的时候怎么知道买哪一个？"

💃: "So how do you know which one to buy when you first buy one?"

🕺: "我看了几个理财视频，然后问了一个朋友，他给我推荐了几个比较稳定的。"

🕺: "I watched a few financial management videos and asked a friend, who recommended a few relatively stable ones to me."

💃: "哇，你还挺专业的嘛。那你赚了吗？"

💃: "Wow, you're quite professional. Did you make money?"

🕺: "一开始没赚，反而亏了几百。但我没放弃，慢慢调整，现在每个月都有一点点收入。"

🕺: "In the beginning, I didn't make any money, but lost a few hundred. But I didn't give up, and slowly adjusted. Now I have a little income every month."

💃: "那你每次投多少钱？"

💃: "How much do you invest each time?"

🕺: "不多，有时候一百，有时候三百，看我那个月的开销。有钱就投一点，没钱就不投。"

🕺: "Not much, sometimes 100, sometimes 300, depending on my expenses that month. If I have money, I'll invest a little, if I don't have money, I won't invest."

💃: "原来可以这么灵活啊。我以前一直以为投资要很多钱。"

💃: "It turns out it can be so flexible. I always thought investing required a lot of money."

🕺: "很多人都这么想，其实现在有很多“零钱理财”，几十块也可以开始。"

🕺: "Many people think so. In fact, there are many "small change financial management" now, and you can start with just a few dozen dollars."

💃: "那你投在哪里？除了股票还有别的吗？"

💃: "Where do you invest? Is there anything else besides stocks?"

🕺: "有，我也试过定期存款、基金，还有一个App叫“支付宝”，里面有一些理财产品，比较安全。"

🕺: "Yes, I have also tried fixed deposits, funds, and an app called "Alipay" which has some financial products and is relatively safe."

💃: "哇，我每天都用支付宝买奶茶，没想到它还能用来赚钱。"

💃: "Wow, I use Alipay to buy milk tea every day, I didn't expect it can also be used to make money."

🕺: "哈哈，是啊。其实很多人用它花钱，却没注意它还能帮你“生钱”。"

🕺: "Haha, yes. In fact, many people use it to spend money, but they don't realize that it can also help you "make money."

💃: "那你觉得我这种完全不懂的人，可以试试吗？"

💃: "Do you think someone like me who knows nothing about this can give it a try?"

🕺: "当然可以，不过一开始不要投太多，先了解、学习，等你熟了再慢慢来。"

🕺: "Of course you can, but don't invest too much at the beginning. Understand and learn first, and then take your time when you are familiar with it."

💃: "说得对。我总觉得这些太复杂，其实是我没认真去看。"

💃: "You're right. I always thought these were too complicated, but I just didn't take them seriously."

🕺: "对，你可以先看几个简单的视频，有的用很简单的语言解释得很好。"

🕺: "Yes, you can watch a few simple videos first, some of which explain very well in very simple language."

💃: "我明白了，就像学画画一样，一步一步来，不要怕。"

💃: "I understand. It's just like learning to paint. Take it step by step. Don't be afraid."

🕺: "没错，我就是这样慢慢来的。投资不是让你一夜暴富，而是让你知道钱可以流动。"

🕺: "Yes, I took it slow. Investing is not about making you rich overnight, but about letting you know that money can flow."

💃: "哇，这句话我喜欢。“钱可以流动”，听起来就很厉害。"

💃: "Wow, I like this sentence. "Money can flow", it sounds very powerful."

🕺: "哈哈，其实道理很简单，别让钱躺着睡觉，要让它出去“工作”。"

🕺: "Haha, the truth is actually very simple. Don't let money lie dormant, let it go out to "work."

💃: "那你现在每个月靠投资能赚多少？"

💃: "So how much can you earn from investing every month now?"

🕺: "不多啦，可能就两三百块，但比以前强。以前我把钱放钱包里，根本没变多。"

🕺: "Not much, maybe only two or three hundred yuan, but it's better than before. Before, I put the money in my wallet, and it didn't increase at all."

💃: "嗯，是啊。现在一杯咖啡就要三四十，如果靠投资赚回一杯，也值了。"

💃: "Yeah, that's right. A cup of coffee costs thirty or forty now. If I can earn back a cup of coffee through investment, it's worth it."

🕺: "对对对，你懂了！"

🕺: "Yes, yes, you got it!"

💃: "我现在有点心动了，准备也试试。不过我先从学习开始。"

💃: "I'm a little excited now and ready to give it a try. But I'll start with learning first."

🕺: "没问题，我可以推荐你几个入门的视频，还有几个安全的App。"

🕺: "No problem, I can recommend you a few introductory videos and a few safe apps."

💃: "好呀好呀，那今天晚上我除了整理插画，还要开始“理财学习计划”！"

💃: "Okay, okay, then tonight in addition to organizing the illustrations, I will also start the "financial management learning plan"!"

🕺: "哈哈，太棒了！你现在越来越有赚钱的脑子了。"

🕺: "Haha, great! You are becoming more and more smart about making money."

💃: "都是被你“带坏”的！每天见面不是聊八卦，而是聊怎么挣钱！"

💃: "You are the one who led me astray! Every day when we meet, we don't talk about gossip, but about how to make money!"

🕺: "哈哈，这叫一起进步。以后我们还可以合作，一起搞副业呢！"

🕺: "Haha, this is called making progress together. We can still cooperate in the future and start a side business together!"

💃: "好呀，说不定我出插画，你来写文案，我们搞个小网店！"

💃: "Okay, maybe I'll do the illustrations and you'll write the copy, and we'll open a small online store!"

🕺: "好主意！先从小做起，说不定哪天我们就真的财务自由了！"

🕺: "Good idea! Let's start small, maybe one day we will be financially free!"

💃: "哈哈哈，那到时候我们每天早上一起喝咖啡，不上班也不焦虑。"

💃: "Hahaha, then we can drink coffee together every morning, without having to work or feel anxious."

🕺: "对啊，不是不上班就不努力，而是用不同的方式努力生活。"

🕺: "Yes, it doesn't mean that you don't work hard if you don't go to work, but that you work hard in a different way."

💃: "你这句话也很棒，我要记下来！"

💃: "Your words are great too, I'll write them down!"

💃: "我发现啊，很多人都有一些小技能，可是他们都没想到可以用来赚钱。"

💃: "I found that many people have some small skills, but they never thought of using them to make money."

🕺: "对啊，其实每个人都有点特别的地方，只是没发现而已。"

🕺: "Yeah, actually everyone has something special, but they just haven't discovered it yet."

💃: "就比如我，我喜欢画画，喜欢拍照，可是以前从来没想过这些能当饭吃。"

💃: "For example, I like painting and taking photos, but I never thought that these could make a living."

🕺: "那是因为学校没教，也没人告诉我们这些能赚钱。我们从小只被教要找“稳定的工作”。"

🕺: "That's because the school didn't teach us, and no one told us that these things can make money. We were only taught to find a "stable job" since we were young."

💃: "嗯，我爸妈就是这样，觉得我画画只是玩，不务正业。"

💃: "Yeah, that's how my parents are. They think I'm just painting for fun and not doing my job properly."

🕺: "可现在时代不一样了，有人靠画画接单，有人拍视频、做直播、开店，全是兴趣开始的。"

🕺: "But now the times are different. Some people rely on drawing to get orders, some people shoot videos, do live broadcasts, and open stores. It all started out of interest."

💃: "是啊，我最近在小红书上看到一个女生，她每天发自己的插画，还教别人怎么画，现在好多粉丝。"

💃: "Yeah, I recently saw a girl on Xiaohongshu who posts her own illustrations every day and teaches others how to draw. She now has a lot of fans."

🕺: "对啊，有粉丝之后，她就可以接广告、卖课、卖周边，很厉害。"

🕺: "Yes, after having fans, she can take advertisements, sell courses, and sell peripherals. It's amazing."

💃: "你说的“周边”是指什么？"

💃: "What do you mean by 'surroundings'?"

🕺: "就是把插画印在杯子、T恤、手机壳上，再卖出去。喜欢她画风的人就会买。"

🕺: "She prints illustrations on cups, T-shirts, and phone cases, and then sells them. People who like her style will buy them."

💃: "哇，听起来好像真的可以做成一份工作耶。"

💃: "Wow, sounds like this could actually be a job."

🕺: "是啊，而且比上班还自由，时间自己安排，收入也不一定比上班少。"

🕺: "Yes, and it's more flexible than working, you can arrange your own time, and the income is not necessarily less than working."

💃: "那你有什么兴趣爱好？你有没有想过把爱好变成收入？"

💃: "So what are your hobbies? Have you ever thought about turning your hobbies into income?"

🕺: "我以前喜欢拍照，也玩过剪辑软件，所以现在偶尔会帮人剪视频。"

🕺: "I used to like taking photos and I also played around with editing software, so now I occasionally help people edit videos."

💃: "哇，你也会剪辑？那你可以开个短视频账号啊。"

💃: "Wow, you can also edit? Then you can open a short video account."

🕺: "我有试过，但一直没坚持。主要是没想好做什么内容。"

🕺: "I have tried it, but never stuck with it. Mainly because I haven't figured out what kind of content to create."

💃: "你可以分享一些自由职业的经验，比如怎么写稿、怎么接单。"

💃: "You can share some freelance experience, such as how to write articles and how to take orders."

🕺: "嗯，好主意耶！也许我可以边剪视频边讲故事，顺便练口语。"

🕺: "Hmm, that's a good idea! Maybe I can tell stories while editing videos and practice speaking at the same time."

💃: "就是嘛，你写得好，说得也清楚，可以帮助很多人。"

💃: "That's right, you write well and speak clearly, it can help a lot of people."

🕺: "哈哈，那我现在也得想个好名字，取个有趣的账号名。"

🕺: "Haha, now I have to think of a good name, a fun account name."

💃: "要不要叫“不上班的人也能赚钱”？"

💃: "Should we call it "People who don't work can also make money"?"

🕺: "哈哈哈，这个名字太直接了，我喜欢！"

🕺: "Hahaha, this name is so direct, I like it!"

💃: "我认真说的，你现在讲得这么自然，不如把这些聊天内容录下来发出去，说不定很多人爱听。"

💃: "I'm serious. You speak so naturally now. Why don't you record the chat and send it out? Maybe a lot of people will like to listen to it."

🕺: "有道理耶，就像录Podcast一样，我们聊聊生活、赚钱、自由，说不定有人共鸣。"

🕺: "That makes sense. Just like recording a podcast, we can talk about life, making money, and freedom. Maybe someone will resonate with us."

💃: "对啊，说不定我们以后变成“自由生活组合”，还可以接广告。"

💃: "Yeah, maybe we can become a "free living group" in the future and even accept advertisements."

🕺: "哈哈，那我们就不光靠自己技能赚钱，还能靠“说话”赚钱了。"

🕺: "Haha, then we can not only make money by our own skills, but also by "talking"."

💃: "真不错。我现在越来越相信，每个人都有东西可以分享，只是缺一个开始的勇气。"

💃: "That's great. I now believe more and more that everyone has something to share, they just lack the courage to start."

🕺: "说得太对了。你敢发第一张插画，我敢录第一段视频，我们就已经比昨天更近一步了。"

🕺: "You are absolutely right. If you dare to post the first illustration and I dare to record the first video, we are one step closer than we were yesterday."

💃: "对对对！一步一步，不怕慢，就怕不开始。"

💃: "Yes, yes, yes! One step at a time, don't be afraid of being slow, just be afraid of not starting."

🕺: "那今天我们回去之后，各做一件事。我写一段自由职业故事，你发一张插画，明天互相检查！"

🕺: "Then today when we go back, we will each do one thing. I will write a freelance story and you will send an illustration. We will check each other's work tomorrow!"

💃: "好！我们互相监督，互相鼓励！"

💃: "Great! We supervise each other and encourage each other!"

🕺: "说不定半年后，我们真的就不用打工啦。"

🕺: "Maybe in half a year, we really won't have to work anymore."

💃: "哈哈哈，到时候你帮我接单，我请你喝咖啡，一起坐在阳台赚钱！"

💃: "Hahaha, when the time comes, you help me take orders, I'll buy you a cup of coffee, and we can sit on the balcony and make money together!"

🕺: "一边晒太阳一边数钱，想想就开心～"

🕺: "Counting money while basking in the sun makes me happy just thinking about it~"

💃: "可是你知道吗，我有个朋友，她说她什么都不会，也没有钱，那她怎么赚钱呢？"

💃: "But you know, I have a friend who says she doesn't know anything and has no money, so how does she make money?"

🕺: "嗯，其实不是每个人都要有特别技能才行。有时候，只要愿意动手、愿意尝试，也能找到办法。"

🕺: "Well, actually not everyone needs special skills. Sometimes, as long as you are willing to work hard and try, you can find a way."

💃: "可她总说自己没学历，也没经验，也不敢开口讲话。"

💃: "But she always said that she had no education, no experience, and she didn't dare to speak."

🕺: "那她可以从最简单的做起，比如做问卷调查、看广告、帮别人点赞，虽然赚得不多，但也是个开始。"

🕺: "Then she can start with the simplest things, such as doing surveys, watching ads, and liking other people's posts. Although she won't earn much, it's a start."

💃: "真的能赚到钱吗？我一直以为那些都是骗人的。"

💃: "Can you really make money? I always thought those were all scams."

🕺: "有些是骗人的，要小心。但也有正规的平台，比如“问卷星”“众人帮”“趣闲赚”，我以前也试过。"

🕺: "Some are scams, be careful. But there are also regular platforms, such as "Wenjuxing", "Zhongrenbang" and "Quxianzhuan", which I have tried before."

💃: "哇，我听都没听过耶。"

💃: "Wow, I've never heard of that."

🕺: "很多平台是靠别人点击赚钱，他们给我们一点提成。虽然不多，但你认真做，一天也能有十块、二十块。"

🕺: "Many platforms make money by receiving clicks from others, and they give us a small commission. Although it's not much, if you work hard, you can make ten or twenty yuan a day."

💃: "听起来也不错，总比一直刷手机浪费时间强。"

💃: "Sounds good, better than wasting time on your phone all the time."

🕺: "对啊，有些人一边看剧一边做任务，轻松又有点收入。"

🕺: "Yes, some people watch dramas and do tasks at the same time, it's easy and they earn some money."

💃: "那她要不要交钱？我怕她被骗。"

💃: "Should she pay? I'm afraid she'll be cheated."

🕺: "不需要！只要记住一句话：要你先交钱的，基本都是骗子。"

🕺: "No need! Just remember one thing: those who ask you to pay first are basically scammers."

💃: "嗯嗯，这句话我一定告诉她。那除了做任务，还有别的方法吗？"

💃: "Yeah, I will definitely tell her this. Besides completing the mission, is there any other way?"

🕺: "可以试试做外卖兼职、跑腿、帮人遛狗、打扫房子，这些都不需要学历和经验。"

🕺: "You can try part-time delivery, errand running, dog walking, house cleaning, none of which require education or experience."

💃: "可她有点内向，不太敢跟陌生人讲话。"

💃: "But she is a little introverted and doesn't dare to talk to strangers."

🕺: "那可以从线上开始，比如帮网店当客服，或者做“代拍”——帮人抢票、抢名额什么的。"

🕺: "You can start online, such as helping online stores as customer service, or being a "proxy photographer" - helping people grab tickets, quotas, etc."

💃: "哇，原来还有“代拍”这种工作！"

💃: "Wow, there is such a job as "photography agent"!"

🕺: "是啊，现在很多人抢不到演唱会票、限量商品，就会请人帮忙操作。她只要学会流程，就可以接单。"

🕺: "Yes, now many people can't get concert tickets or limited edition merchandise, so they ask others to help them. As long as she learns the process, she can take orders."

💃: "那她要去哪里找这种工作？"

💃: "Where is she going to find such a job?"

🕺: "可以去QQ群、豆瓣、微博、小红书，有很多接单信息。只是要注意安全，先小单开始，不要轻易泄露信息。"

🕺: "You can go to QQ groups, Douban, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu, where there is a lot of order information. Just be careful about safety, start with small orders, and don't leak information easily."

💃: "嗯，你讲得好细，我都想做做看了。"

💃: "Well, you explained it in such detail, I want to try it myself."

🕺: "哈哈，你已经有插画技能了，当然不用这些。但如果有空，也可以试试，体验一下。"

🕺: "Haha, you already have illustration skills, so of course you don't need these. But if you have time, you can try it and experience it."

💃: "我觉得最重要的就是要“动起来”。以前我总是坐着想，现在才知道，行动比想象重要多了。"

💃: "I think the most important thing is to "get moving". I used to sit and think, but now I know that action is much more important than imagination."

🕺: "完全同意。只要愿意做，就一定能找到路。"

🕺: "Totally agree. As long as you are willing to do it, you will find a way."

💃: "嗯，我要鼓励我朋友别怕，哪怕一天只赚几块，也是在慢慢改变。"

💃: "Well, I want to encourage my friends not to be afraid, even if you only make a few dollars a day, it is slowly changing."

🕺: "对！而且从小钱开始，学会珍惜和积累，才知道怎么让钱变多。"

🕺: "Yes! And start with small amounts of money, learn to cherish and accumulate, then you will know how to make more money."

💃: "有时候我觉得，不是我们没机会，而是我们自己放弃太快。"

💃: "Sometimes I think it's not that we don't have opportunities, but that we give up too quickly."

🕺: "这话说得太好了。有些人总等“完美的机会”，结果一辈子都没开始。"

🕺: "That's a great point. Some people always wait for the 'perfect opportunity' and end up never getting started."

💃: "所以今天开始，我们一起动手，告诉更多人：不工作，也能慢慢赚钱。"

💃: "So starting today, let's work together to tell more people: You can make money slowly without working."

🕺: "是的，用自己的方式过日子，不靠别人，也很有力量。"

🕺: "Yes, living your life in your own way, without relying on others, is also very powerful."

💃: "哇，我今天真的学到了很多，也更有信心了。"

💃: "Wow, I really learned a lot today and I feel more confident now."

🕺: "我也是，跟你聊完，感觉动力满满。我们继续加油吧！"

🕺: "Me too. After talking to you, I feel very motivated. Let's keep going!"

💃: "加油！哪怕一天只进步一点点，也是好的开始！"

💃: "Keep going! Even if you make a little progress every day, it's a good start!"

🕺: "你知道吗，其实现在的我，比以前上班还忙。"

🕺: "You know, I am actually busier now than when I was working."

💃: "哈哈，真的假的？不是不上班了吗？"

💃: "Haha, is this true? Aren't you going to stop working?"

🕺: "是不上班，可是每天自己安排时间，要做的事更多了。写稿、接单、学新东西，还得自己找客户。"

🕺: "I don't work, but I have to arrange my own time every day, and I have to do more things. I have to write articles, take orders, learn new things, and find clients myself."

💃: "哇，听起来挺辛苦的耶。"

💃: "Wow, that sounds like hard work."

🕺: "是辛苦一点，但我喜欢这种自由。想几点起就几点起，想工作就工作，不想工作就休息。"

🕺: "It's a bit hard, but I like this kind of freedom. I can get up when I want, work when I want, and rest when I don't want to work."

💃: "自由是自由，可是你会不会有时候偷懒？"

💃: "Freedom is freedom, but do you sometimes get lazy?"

🕺: "当然会啊，我也有赖床、刷手机的时候。但时间长了，我知道：没人催我，我就得自己管自己。"

🕺: "Of course, I also stay in bed and check my phone sometimes. But after a long time, I know: if no one pushes me, I have to take care of myself."

💃: "嗯，这才是自由的“代价”吧。看起来轻松，其实更需要自律。"

💃: "Well, this is the "price" of freedom. It looks easy, but it actually requires more self-discipline."

🕺: "没错。如果没有计划，很容易一天什么都没做，最后又焦虑。"

🕺: "That's right. If you don't have a plan, it's easy to get nothing done all day and end up feeling anxious."

💃: "那你是怎么安排每天的？"

💃: "So how do you plan your day?"

🕺: "我早上会列个清单，今天要写什么、做什么、学什么。完成一项就打个勾，很有成就感。"

🕺: "I make a list in the morning, what I need to write, do, and learn today. I tick off each item when I complete it, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment."

💃: "好棒哦，我每次想安排计划，写完就忘了。"

💃: "Great! Every time I try to make a plan, I forget it after writing it down."

🕺: "那你可以用提醒App，或者写在便利贴上贴在墙上。"

🕺: "You can use a reminder app, or write it on a sticky note and stick it on the wall."

💃: "我试试看。你有没有那种完全不想做事的一天？"

💃: "I'll give it a try. Do you ever have a day when you just don't feel like doing anything?"

🕺: "有啊！有时候真的提不起劲，那我就干脆出去走走，散步或者看电影，换个心情。"

🕺: "Yes! Sometimes I just can't get motivated, so I just go out for a walk, take a walk or watch a movie to change my mood."

💃: "原来你也会这样，我还以为你每天都很高效呢。"

💃: "So you are like this, I thought you were very efficient every day."

🕺: "哈哈，我又不是机器人，我也会懒。但关键是，不能一直懒，要找到动力。"

🕺: "Haha, I'm not a robot, I can be lazy too. But the key is, you can't be lazy all the time, you have to find motivation."

💃: "那你的动力是什么？钱？"

💃: "So what's your motivation? Money?"

💃: "梦想？"

💃: "Dream?"

🕺: "一开始是为了不缺钱，现在更多是为了自由，还有一种成就感。"

🕺: "At first, it was to make money, but now it's more for freedom and a sense of accomplishment."

💃: "成就感？"

💃: "A sense of accomplishment?"

🕺: "就是那种——今天我靠自己的能力赚了一笔钱，不大，但很踏实。"

🕺: "It's like that - today I made some money with my own ability, not a big amount, but very solid."

💃: "嗯，我懂你说的。我前几天把插画发出去，有人留言说喜欢，虽然没赚钱，但我也好开心。"

💃: "Yeah, I understand what you mean. I sent out my illustrations a few days ago, and some people left messages saying they liked them. Although I didn't make any money, I was very happy."

🕺: "这就是价值啊。有人看到、认可你，就说明你在发光。"

🕺: "This is value. When someone sees and recognizes you, it means you are shining."

💃: "哇，被你这么一说，我都有点感动了。"

💃: "Wow, I'm a little touched by what you said."

🕺: "哈哈，不感动，继续努力才最重要。我们都在路上。"

🕺: "Haha, I'm not touched. What's most important is to keep working hard. We are all on the road."

💃: "是啊，我以前总觉得不上班就等于“没工作”，现在我觉得，“不上班”其实是另一种选择。"

💃: "Yeah, I used to think that not going to work was the same as "not having a job", but now I think that "not going to work" is actually another choice."

🕺: "对，每个人都可以选择适合自己的生活方式。不一定要朝九晚五才叫认真生活。"

🕺: "Yes, everyone can choose a lifestyle that suits them. You don't have to work from 9 to 5 to live a serious life."

💃: "而且我们还年轻，应该多尝试，多体验。"

💃: "Besides, we are still young, we should try more and experience more."

🕺: "没错。有一天我们老了，回头看，也会感谢现在努力过、勇敢过的自己。"

🕺: "That's right. One day when we are old and look back, we will thank ourselves for working hard and being brave now."

💃: "你说得好有道理，我真的被你说服了。"

💃: "What you said makes a lot of sense. I am really convinced by you."

🕺: "哈哈，我们都一样，是在用自己的方式过日子。一步步来，就对了。"

🕺: "Haha, we are all the same, living our lives in our own way. Just take it one step at a time."

💃: "那以后我们多交流，一起学习，一起进步！"

💃: "Then let's communicate more, learn together, and make progress together!"

🕺: "没问题，我们是“不上班生活研究所”！"

🕺: "No problem, we are the "Institute for Non-Working Life"!"

💃: "哈哈哈，这个名字太好笑了！不过真的，希望有一天，我们能把这种生活过得越来越好。"

💃: "Hahaha, this name is so funny! But really, I hope that one day we can make this kind of life better and better."

🕺: "会的。我们有想法，也愿意做，就一定能走出属于自己的路。"

🕺: "Yes. If we have ideas and are willing to do it, we will definitely be able to find our own way."

💃: "好！那我回去就开始画图、练习、学习理财，每天进步一点点！"

💃: "Okay! Then I'll start drawing, practicing, and learning financial management when I get back, and make a little progress every day!"

🕺: "我也是，今天晚上剪个视频，明天上传！让我们一起坚持！"

🕺: "Me too, I'll edit a video tonight and upload it tomorrow! Let's stick with it together!"

💃: "一起加油！不上班，也能活得精彩！"

💃: "Let's work together! We can still live a wonderful life without working!"
