主播：Flora (中国) + 梅莉 (法国) 片头音乐：Hold Us Together片尾音乐：Look At Me Now今天梅莉来给大家分享一句最近在外媒上特别火、同时也很治愈的一句话："Almost forgot this was the whole point (差点忘了这才是重点)."This is a simple but powerful phrase that keeps popping up (突然出现) on TikTok and Instagram.01. The True Meaning of "the Point" “重点”的真正含义When people say "Almost forgot this was the whole point," it’s like—I got caught up (陷入) in stress or noise, and I needed this moment to remember what really matters.People will usually see it paired with a quiet, beautiful video. 比如说下班后看看日落（watch a sunset），与朋友们安静地坐一会（sit with friends in silence），摸摸狗（pet a dog），或者是沿着海边走一走（walk by the ocean）。It’s those small, peaceful, super real moments. Nothing loud or dramatic.It feels like this trend is all about slowing down and reminding ourselves of what really matters. 很像我们说的“松弛感（chill vibe）”、“生活感”的状态。 It’s like saying: "Hey, these small ordinary moments? That’s the good stuff."That’s the beauty of it—it’s not about doing more, it’s about feeling more.02. The Reason of its Popularity 受欢迎的原因It feels like people everywhere—both in China and abroad—are connecting with this.Maybe because life feels kind of overwhelming (令人不知所措的) right now. With AI, fast news, work stress… people just want to breathe. 现在大家都在追求效率、成功、速度……但同时内心也渴望能感受一些平静且真实的瞬间。People are all craving (渴望) something calmer, something that feels more real.It’s a reminder to be present. Like—not everything has to be productive or aesthetic (有美感的). 只是简单地坐在那里，在这一瞬间，就足够了。It’s true but hard. Because lots of people constantly worrying about the future, or stuck thinking about the past. 甚至有时候看看别人光鲜亮丽的生活也会引起自己的焦虑。03. Scroll Less, Live More 少刷屏，多生活几个周之前梅莉删掉了她的社交媒体软件，比如Instagram、小红书一类的。After that, she started reading more, being more present in her life. It’s like she suddenly had space to breathe again.Most of us just instinctively (本能地) grab our phones whenever there’s a free second. Not even because we’re looking for something—just trying to escape (躲避) reality a little. And then we will look up and realize—"Wait, I just spent 30 minutes scrolling (浏览) and I don’t even remember what I saw."Flora也有一个类似的经历。Back then in college, she had to study for a big exam, so she turned off her WeChat Moments for a while. 在这之后，她发现她非常喜欢这种状态。It was like finally paying attention to her life instead of tracking everyone else.直到现在，Flora的微信还是那样设置的（set that way）。She looks forward to the little things—cooking herself a nice meal, buying flowers, decorating her room... It all feels more meaningful. 这些小事情（tiny things）可以带给她非常多的快乐。04. Pause & Reflect: What Truly Matters in Life 暂停并反思：生命中真正重要的是什么This whole "Almost forgot this was the whole point" thing—it’s a trend. A trending sound (一种当下流行的呼声). People are using it to post aesthetic videos of sunsets or quiet mornings… which is kind of ironic (讽刺的).当每个人都在追求这个潮流的时候，就有些迷失重点了。What really matters is our true feeling. Did we feel relaxed? Free? Peaceful?The point isn’t to film the moment—it’s to actually live it. We need to ask ourselves: are we watching life happen, or are we living it? 我们要成为生活的参与者，而不是旁观者。It is about focusing on what really matters—connection, peace, purpose. And finding joy that doesn’t need to be posted to be real. 找到快乐不一定要通过分享来实现，它本身就是真实存在的。这不该只是一个“治愈滤镜”下的热潮，而是我们真正该思考的问题：What really matters to us in life? 什么才是我们生命中真正重要的东西？There’s an old saying in Chinese: “不忘初心，方得始终 (If you don’t forget your original intention, you’ll find your way to the end)。”We hope you can rediscover those small but powerful moments that truly make your life meaningful. And if you ever forget what life is really about… just pause. Breathe. And remember—this is the whole point. This is what life is all about.欢迎在评论区告诉我们：What brings you joy—not online, but in real life?在现实生活中而非网络上，什么事情能带给你快乐呢？
