專屬于自己的me time

聽同事抱怨說，每天忙得團團轉，連靜下來好好喝杯茶、聽段音樂的時間都沒有。快節(jié)奏的生活讓我們成天被各種事務包圍，想要有一點完全屬于自己的me time，真是難上加難。

Me time is a term which has been popularized by all forms of the media geared towards issues of female interest, in particular women's magazines. The idea is that, amidst the stress of 21st century life, a woman finds it increasingly difficult to spend time which is exclusively for her and is not encroached upon by the non-stop demands of work and family.
Me time 是通過各類關注女性權益話題的媒體，特別是女性雜志，迅速竄紅的一個說法。它傳遞的思想是，在21世紀的生活壓力下，女性想要有一段時間可以專屬于自己，并且免受工作和家庭中無休止的任務擺布，是越來越困難了。

Me time, then, is a period of time when a woman can put herself first and do something that she particularly enjoys to aid relaxation and revitalization. This might be as simple as having a bubble bath or sitting down with a cup of tea, or going on a trip to the gym or a weekend away.
Me time就是一段可以讓女性把自己放在首位，可以做一些自己喜歡的事情來放松自己并幫助自己重新煥發(fā)活力的時間。這段時間可做的事情可以是一次泡泡浴或者坐下來喝杯茶這樣簡單的小事，也可以是去健身房鍛煉或者周末出行這樣的活動。
