weekends
1. Are weekends important to you?
周末对你来说重要吗?
Well, it’s quite important. I normally work round the clock on workweek; so sleeping all-day and chilling out during weekends are just right for me. Plus, I may go clubbing with close friends though I need a couple of days to sleep it off.
真的太重要了!我通常一周的时间都在工作,所以周末睡一整天或者出去放松是必须的。另外,我还可以跟亲密朋友去泡夜店,虽然我需要几天来休息。

2. How do you (usually) spend the weekend?
你的周末通常怎么过呢?
Well, the best thing to do is to treat my friends to a night out. I normally take my friends out for dinner; finding some best-kept secret restaurants is the most interesting thing we often do. After that, we usually go to a jazz club or live house, as I’m a die-hard jazz fan.
嗯,最好的办法就是请朋友出去吃饭。我通常带我的朋友出去吃晚餐,找一些隐蔽的餐馆吃饭是我们经常做的最有趣的事情。在那之后,我们通常会去一个爵士乐俱乐部或者直播现场,因为我是一个铁杆爵士迷。

If I can I prefer to travel. It's nice to get away from everything and to have a change of scenery. Also, I like visiting new places and doing some sightseeing.
