A：随着演唱会推迟、体育赛事取消、学校停课以及旅游景点关闭。专家也开始建议疫情期间，即便没有任何症状，也不要出门。尽管宅 在家确实可以有效保护自己和他人免受冠状病毒侵害，也能帮助遏制病毒的传播，但仍然会造成另一个问题：无聊。 B: That is some

A: As concerts are postponed, sporting events are canceled, schools are closed and tourist hot spots are shut down, experts recommend that even those who show no sign of illness stay home during this time of global pandemic. Although remaining inside is a good way to protect yourself and others from the coronavirus, and to help flatten the curve of daily cases, it could lead to a lesser evil: boredom.
B：你说得太对了，广大网友都大喊说宅在家都快“发霉”了，从来没想过有一天终于心安理得地过上了在家待着无所事事的日子，以及从未如此愿意出门。中国人民从1月底开始通过自己的行动践行抗疫，如今已长达两个月。大家居家隔离消磨时间的方式也是花样百出，不知道你们那边是什么情况?
A: Well, we are keeping up with the social distancing or self-quarantine as well. This COVID-19 pandemic has really disrupted everyone’s life and everyone is here to contribute his or her own bit. Our community has issued a notice to give 100 suggestions to everyone stays at home.
B：100条宅家建议!简直可以出书了。你觉得这些建议怎么样啊?可以跟我们分享一些吗?
A: I will give you ten that seems possible for me.
  Write actual letters to family and friends. Write thank-you notes to people who you remember went out of their way for you.
  Start a journal or blog to record your life during this difficult time or just to get things off your chest.
Dust off that old instrument and practice. Watch the really long movies you’ve avoided until now.
Meditate. Try lying down with your eyes closed, palms up and while focusing on your breath.
B：有做饭吗?我的朋友们以前从未进过厨房，在家隔离期间都一个个变身大厨，有的甚至开始尝试烘焙。
A: Not in my list. The rest on my list are:
Try out at-home aerobics or yoga videos. Consider downloading a fitness app with ready-made playlists, if possible. Take a bubble bath with a glass of wine in your hand.
Make a classic cocktail, from Bloody Mary to Manhattans and Mojito. Don’t forget the garnish. Buy gift cards from your favorite businesses to help keep them in business while we are in quarantine.
Make coffee, but this time study how many beans you use, which types, how hot the water is, how long it brews and whether any of that makes a difference.
B：听起来真的不错，虽然你可能不太喜欢下厨，但这些建议确实是帮助大家度过这段低迷时期的实用窍门。我等会儿就试试煮咖啡去，然后麻烦你把这些建议全部发给我，明天我就整理一份发到朋友圈。
