无聊的活动

I suppose this was my form of sleep—if sleep was defined as the inert state between active periods.

我认为这就是我睡觉的形式—如果睡觉被定义为活动期间的无聊状态。

At Maxville, it was my first time to realiae that I am abroad and I am a foreigner, because there is seldom Asian-faced people, even during this Games period. It was my first time to go camping, live in the tent, and sleep in the sleeping bag. It was my first time to take part in a real Canadian's party, drinking and chatting; sometimes we played cards and paper-folding frog.

在Maxville我第一次感受到自己是在国外，我是个外国人，因为那里几乎没有亚洲面孔的人，即使在这次活动期间；第一次camping，住在帐篷中，睡在睡袋里；第一次参加真正加拿大人的party，喝酒、聊天，无聊时就打牌、玩折纸青蛙；第一次玩草地槌球，一手拿酒瓶，一手握球棒。

If you find yourself some new hobby or leisure activity, you will avoid boredom and the temptation to over-eat because you are bored.

如果你惹上了一些新的嗜好或休闲活动，你会避免烦恼和诱惑超吃，因为你是无聊。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
