你有沒有聽過「閉目養神」這個用詞? Have you heard of the term ?

“閉目養神”(bì mù yǎngshén)

其實在台灣的公車上,很多人都會閉上眼睛休息,這個閉上眼睛的習

慣叫做「閉目養神」。

In the buses of Taiwan, a lot of people will shut their eyes and rest. This

practice of shutting the eyes is called 閉目養神.

「閉目養神」就是透過讓自己的眼睛休息,與外界隔絕, 外面的世界什麼都不管。

閉目養神 is to isolate the self from the outside world through resting the

eyes. To not care about the outside world.

因為這樣,你可以好好休息, 好像跟冥想有相似之處,有點像。

Because of this, you can rest well, it might be kind of similar to meditation.

很多台灣人習慣在通勤的時候閉目養神,去公司的路上閉眼休息一下,讓自己精神恢復，所以到了公司就可以比較有精神一點。

A lot of Taiwanese people like to shut their eyes and rest when commuting.

Shut their eyes to rest on their way to work, restore the spirit, so that when they arrive at work, they could be more revitalized.

下次也試試看 😊 Try it yourself next time!
