Attention-seeking 刷存在感

**Nowadays, with advanced social networking, many people around us show their special prowess(非凡的技能) in order to obtain a higher degree of attention, which is called attention-seeking. Some people regard this as an instinctive demand of human beings, while some hold the view that real sense of being noticed is not based on active seeking, but from the self-confidence **

DAKA

Do any people around you have the above-mentioned conduct and please share some specific details.
It’s true that this trend has gone out of control in recent years. And I believe that every single one of us has at least once or twice of experiences to come into contact with those individuals who around us. They have the specific kind of mindset of indulge spotlight and enjoyed the process of bringing attention upon themselves in front of the public. Psychologically, this is just simply due to one’s vanity, and most of the time, those people don’t deserve this much attention. This is why they’re trying so hard in order to acquire it in the first place. And I’m not calling upon anyone’s names, but a perfect example will date back into high school, a guy in my literary criticism class. He was just trying so hard to avoid reading certain mainstream literature even though there are of good quality. And he offered some peculiar analysis on his own literature which is silly.
What do you think of attention-seeking?
Although it may sound astonishing at first, this phenomenon is actually quite universal. The only thing is it varies from person to person in terms of magnitude since mostly we are trying to differentiate ourselves from others. Maybe not a considerable extent, but at least a little bit to preserve our own identity. So that portion is actually understandable, while certain sociopaths or psychopaths, I will refer to them as pathetic rather than despicable. Because there just overdoing something without even being aware they’re trying to escape the entire concept of conformity and spending relentless efforts. Most of them are actually just going through adolescence. Those teenagers are not fully developed cognitively, and they’re trying to distinguish themselves from the general public following certain trends being rebellious and sometimes even jeopardizing their own life. It’s really disheartening to see it.
How can we better improve this kind of social conduct?
Form my conjecture, the surging trend is going to become of the most challenging problem yet to be resolved in the 21 century. I find that it’s one of the negative impacts of informational technology blossoming. It actually brings forth more tension then we have before. And sometimes people are referred to as a societal disease. But in my perspective, we can attempt our best to coexist with this long, lethal, but seemingly problematic disease, since it has been inducing some negative consequences in certain areas. It’s extremely hard to eradicate since it’s induced by one of our inequality of trying to differentiate yourself from others. The attempt to escape the entire societal norm should be controlled and curtailed but not eliminated.

Phrases and Words

indulge spotlight 沉溺于关注
vanity 虚荣

differentiate ourselves from others 使自己与众不同
preserve our own identity 保留我们的个性
relentless efforts 不懈努力（贬义）

Short Videos 短视频

In the 5G era, short videos have soon become a new way, a kind of universal expression from the central media and local government on new media to the ordinary people from all walks of life. Shooting video with the phone becomes the latest trend. At the same time, short videos are changing our lives and the society in which we live.

DAKA

Why do you think short videos are so popular?
I guess it has to do with our human nature of seeking pleasure. People just want to be entertained, and not necessarily in very complicated ways, so instead of watching a really long TV drama for hours, it’s better to just spend like a few minutes in certain apps. They’re just presented in front of you, which is really convenient. Even though sometimes that are not all of good quality, but those are basically what I would refer to - fast food humor. The way how they became such a popular concept is due to a large number of producers. Everyone has the accessibility of it, and the quantity is definitely over quality in this area. There are alson having diverse categories and I would say it’s still a positive thing after all.
The product of short videos is designed to cater to the atmosphere of the modern population, so basically because of the fast pace of modern society as well as the popularization of our social media.
Have short videos affected your life? Why?
In my case, I would say different types of short videos had a more significant impact on me, in contrast to the popular definition of those kinds of short videos. I’m more prone just to spend some time watching certain clips, those are summaries of certain clips, like summaries of certain movies. Because I don’t necessarily have the time and energy to just invest myself in some certain progress for hours. Certain educational channels have the dedication to a single concept or idea, either history philosophy, sometimes litter in the analysis. And most of the time they’re decent and helpful but not as entertaining compare to the latter one.
Do you have any good short videos to recommend?
Yes, I guess I can come up with several recommendations, but most of them are going to opposed to what they are being defined today. Maybe I mentioned before the Scope of Lives and Crash Course on Youtube. You can have some overview of the entire concept in a concise period of time. Something that’s closer to the popular definition is going to Calebcity. They do share a similarity of incorporating their unique sense of humor into their channel. I recommend them, if you’re in a bad mood, it will light you up.

Sacrificial Love 牺牲式的爱

Sacrificial love refers to giving up a better university, job or development opportunity because you love someone, sacrificing a part of your pride to exchange love at the same time. Love should not care about gain and loss, but I hope your sacrifice will be rewarded.

DAKA

Do you think sacrificial love is worthwhile？ Why?
First of all, because I never engaged in a relationship before, so what I’m going to say is totally based on my imaginations.
Essentially, everyone’s going to answer this question quite differently. It really depends on the individual of her or his own value system in order to determine what will be the most optimal selection, it’s like a fifty-fifty worthwhile or not. Anything that’s related to sacrificial is going to have a caveat of taking things and matters to an extreme.(无论什么事情只要和牺牲联系在一起，这就是一个告诉你“已经陷入极端”的警告) So I don’t think it’s going to be emotionally or physically healthy for the individual. Let’s say when you give up something really crucial to yourself for your partner. It sounds really nice and romantic, but sometimes it only remains on the paper.
So deeply in my heart, I still hold a kind of suspicious attitude toward this kind of love.
From your perspective, are you willing to choose “sacrifical love” because of your love?
I would be a little bit biased since some of my close friends were once almost the victim of this specific term or this kind of philosophy. So the outcome was also quite devestating. After observing such experiences, I guess I wouldn’t commit the same exact mistake in the future. And I’m not criticizing those who are attempting to do so. Because I guess people are predisposed differently, and even they’re saying that they are aware of what they’re doing when they initiating something, 50% of the time they’re actually unconscious about where they are committing until they reached the latter stage of their relationship.(尽管有很多人说他们知道自己在做什么，但是几乎有一半的时间他们其实是毫无意识的) For now, I would say I offer rejection to this concept, but I sincerely hope those who are implementing this kind of principle, good luck.
As for you, what’s the best way of a couple to get along well with each other?
I can’t really draw a simple conclusion. I don’t think there’s a universal formula that you can figure it out. Well, there surely is something that you can generalize that’s universal in terms of relationship, of course. Mutual respect is very crucial, acknowledgment of a demonstration when it comes to certain issues is also very vital. If you don’t have the same vibe and temperament with your partner, the chance of your guys staying together for a chronic period of time is going to be very mild.(如果你和你的伴侣性格反差很大，那么你们长时间在一起的机会将会很小) And last one, do not establish a relationship simply based on sympathy.

Phrases and words

Cyber friends 网友

With the increasing popularity of more and more social applications, many yong people have much more cyber friends than their friends in reality.

DAKA

What’s your opinion about this phenomenon?
Isn’t that fascinating? The Internet makes the earth a global community. The friends I met online, we have slightly different interests, but we are able to come to conclusions to just discuss our mutual interests, and it was really productive and thought provoking. What so-called cyber friends, it’s basically a bunch of friends we’ve never met before, but we still can exchange our knowledge and share wisdom. It’s actually easier for people to be themselves when they make friends online.
What kinds of friends do you usually make online?
In my perspective, as long as we share some degree of mutual interests, let’s say languages, books, entertainments, etc. Mere accordance is easier for us to just initiate a conversation.(仅需要凭借简单的一致，就可以开始一段对话) But sometimes a little bit of disagreement does exemplify our opinions and solidify our beliefs, so I would say thought-provoking friends are very good to have. But actually we are having certain acquaintances that’re leaning toward having fun or entertainment while others are leaning toward being intellectual or academic. But both I consider are good to have.
Will you be glad to meet your cyber friends in reallity? Why?
Of course, definitely, if we happen to share a geographic proximity, on the top of having a mutual interest, and we knew each other for long enough. Why don’t we just meet sometimes, why not? Maybe due to the current situation, we can’t travel extensively, and just out of politeness, of course, we’re going to meet each other sometimes. It’s a real pleasure to encounter a friend that you’ve been talking to online and to speak them face to face. It’s going to be a very phenomenal and different experience.
