前阵子我回了一趟上海。

主要是办「纵横四海」还有MBA的线下活动,虽然行程很忙,但是还是有抽空跟一些上海的好朋友一起catch up,其中最开心的就是跟我 MBA 时期最好的朋友 Nick 见个面。

我们聊了最近生活的感悟、工作上面和心境上面的变化等等,当然,也聊到了我在澳洲的生活,聊了两个多小时,快走之前,Nick 看着我说了一句话。

他说:

"David, I don't know how to explain it,

but after this past year in Australia,

you seem more… grounded."

我听到那句话,其实心里停了一下,给他会心的一笑。

Grounded 这个字,我当然知道意思,但我也突然意识到——

这种用来形容「内在状态和幸福感」的英文词,我好像还没有给Say Hi的大家来好好介绍一下。

所以今天这一集 Say Hi,我想用九个英文形容词,来跟你聊聊英文里怎么形容一种「人生慢慢稳下来、幸福与满足感」的状态。

📝 本期的知识卡片我们整理在下面啦:

1️⃣ Grounded

中文理解:

脚踏实地、内在踏实、不被生活推着跑

核心感觉:

👉 我知道自己站在哪里

常见搭配:

feel grounded / keep someone grounded

例句:

  • After moving abroad, I feel more grounded.
  • Spending time with my family really grounds me.

2️⃣ Centered

中文理解:

回到自己、内在对齐、不被外界拉走

核心感觉:

👉 心回来了

常见语境:

冥想、心理状态、人生阶段

例句:

  • Meditation helps me feel centered.
  • I wasn’t very centered during that phase of my life.

3️⃣ Anchored

中文理解:

被价值、关系或信念稳稳固定住

画面感:

👉 海很乱,但你有锚

常见搭配:

anchored by / anchored to

例句:

  • My family keeps me anchored.
  • I’m anchored by my values.

4️⃣ Settled

中文理解:

定下来了,不再反复怀疑人生方向

隐藏含义:

👉 不再每天问「是不是选错了」

例句:

  • It took years, but I finally feel settled.
  • Life feels more settled now.

5️⃣ At ease

中文理解:

放松、安心、不用防备

情感层次:

👉 不用撑、不用演

常见搭配:

feel at ease / at ease with

例句:

  • I feel at ease around you.
  • He seems at ease in his own skin.

6️⃣ Content

中文理解:

满足但不自满,接受当下的自己

容易误会的点:

❌ 不是放弃

✅ 是成熟的满足

例句:

  • I’m content with my life right now.
  • He’s content, not complacent.

7️⃣ Fulfilled

中文理解:

深层满足感,来自「值得」

关键词:

👉 值不值得,而不是累不累

常见搭配:

deeply fulfilling

例句:

  • The work is challenging, but deeply fulfilling.
  • I feel fulfilled when my work makes a difference.

8️⃣ Whole

中文理解:

完整的、不再觉得自己少一块

心理层面:

👉 不再用未来否定现在

例句:

  • I finally feel whole.
  • She no longer looks for validation to feel whole.

9️⃣ Balanced

中文理解:

内在协调、人生角色不打架

重要观念:

👉 Balance ≠ 平均

👉 Balance = 可持续

例句:

  • I’m trying to live a more balanced life.
  • Balance doesn’t mean equal—it means sustainable.

I’m content with the way I am now. Emm..still trying not to be too self-centred on and off though.👻
DavidSaysHi
:
Everyone is like that every now and then. The fact that you’re content with the status quo is already very good!

Last month I first saw you🥳.
You look happy and fulfilled.

​This period is my winter holiday. I live with my family, and I try to feel grounded,not anxious about doing nothing

目前我也处在grounded的状态!真好😊希望大家都feel more grounded!

太棒啦
Recently, I’ve passed a tough exam with flying colors, which has given me a strong sense of fulfillment. However, I still feel anxious because it seems that I need to pass tons of “exams” in the future, otherwise I may fall behind my peers. Hopefully, I can feel more content with my real self someday.

This is a good first step. Build on your current momentum and crush your future exams💪💪💪

good afternoon David老师!听了这期发现我之前的表达都是直接从settled和fulfilled还有at ease这些表达上了,完全不知道还有grounded这样小而好用的词耶✌🏻
最近我的生活正好就在步入grounded的阶段,和家人的相处让我时时而感觉到at ease,而且最近我在写复盘的时候,也觉得自己如果是用英语写一天总结或者某个情绪总结的话,只用happy或者at ease有点太单调了,这期简直是我的词库更新必备哇咔咔!
还有就是再表白一下这期节目!在社媒上刷到更多的其实是负能量,但是这一期很多词一出来,我的脑海就可以回想起之前一些幸福的细节,谢谢David老师再次让我感受到当下的力量!!😆😆
