留美老师带你每日说英文 第1292期:做自己能够乐在其中的事

台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

Instead of doing something that I didn't like, like homework or whatever, I did something that I actually enjoyed, which for me was meditating¹, reading, and working on my own business.

与其做那些我不喜欢做的事情，比如做功课之类的，还不如去做些我确实能够乐在其中的事，像是冥想、阅读以及经营自己的事业。

学习重点：

1.whatever 不管怎样

whatever (pr.) 不管怎样

2.actually 实际上,事实上；的确

actually (adv.) 实际上, 事实上；的确

3.meditate² 默念,冥想

meditate (v.) 默念, 冥想
