Hello,大家好,我是Mavis,非常高兴能够在《年轻人说》这个平台上和大家见面，也非常开心能在这里和大家一起边学英语边理财。
1.Introduce myself 自我介绍
好奇心极强，静若淑女，动若疯兔的双子女一枚。自从进入外企从事财务管理工作，一发不可收拾得掉进了英语的迷之海洋中。从最初不敢开口说英语，磕磕绊绊用蹩脚地英语交流，到现在so easy地写出会议报告，淡定从容地在会议上做财务分析，并与大家进行方案和决策的讨论。整个过程不足6个月时间，鬼知道我经历了什么？（如果你们感兴趣的话，嘿嘿嘿，欢迎私信我）
Meanwhile，作为一名秉有终生健身理念的运动爱好者，也喜欢在业余时间画一些小画儿，煮一手奇怪的菜。In a word, 就先暴露到这里，留几手以备不时之需，哈哈。
2.Why I want to open a English column about studying money management ?为什么我想开设一个关于学理财的英语专栏？
回顾自己短短几个月系统学英语的历程，“用英语”是我一直在学英语中用的方法，而且听了杨妈妈的课之后，才发现她主张用英语的观点和我一直“用英语”的方法不谋而合。幸好，我用了正确的方法，不然现在我或许只能支支吾吾说着由几个单词拼凑成的英语。
所以，要想学好英语，首先得学会把英语用起来。四年财务专业的学习和毕业后在社会上长达五年以上摸爬滚打的经验告诉我：理财是一门基本的生活技能，基本到人人都应该掌握它，更是需要你终身学习的技能。对于这些需要终身习得的技能，我不知道哪里冒出来的鬼点子。突发奇想让我的专业、工作和英语结合起来，和大家一起终身习得这一基本技能，边学英语边理财。（wow，此刻我已经莫名激动中）
3.Money management ,is it really important?理财，它真的有那么重要吗？
谈论起财富自由这个词，尤其在这盛行的知识经济时代， 看看大多数人的状态，忙于工作，忙于学习，忙于生活中的大事小事，伴随着内心日渐增多的焦虑，财富自由更像是一颗速效救心丸，抚慰我们内心对不安的恐惧，对美好的憧憬。
In this Era of prevailing economic knowledge, If you look at the state of people (with myself included)you will find that most, if not all are busy with work and study. Each person is preoccupied with the tiniest and most gigantic concerns in life. And each one lives with an increasing anxiety in their hearts. Thus, in a situation such as this, financial freedom is more like a quick relief pill, that can soothe fears and insecurities. It’s a very striking vision.
李笑来老师说：“财富自由是一个在很多人心尖儿上发光的词”。那我们不妨停下来好好想一想，如果从明天起我们就财富自由了，不用再为日常生活的开销出售自己的时间了，我们想要去开始一段怎样精彩的生活？
My Teacher,Li Xiaolai once said that,“Financial freedom is a word which shines on many people’s hearts.”So why don’t we stop and really think about that for a moment. Let’s ask ourselves this, “If we will have financial freedom tomorrow, and won’t have to sell away our time each day, what kind of life would we like to have?”
感觉幸福来得太突然，不知该如何按捺住内心的激动，心平气和地敲打出这些文字。其实，很简单啊，我想过的人生就是要和自己喜欢的一切在一起啊！想要时间自由，想要变成一个有价值的人，想要实现自己的梦想，也想去帮助更多的人。我相信大多数人和我一样，如果没有金钱等其他因素的束缚，我们都正做着自己喜欢的事，过着自己喜欢的生活吧。那么为了实现这美好的期待，对于我们这样绝大多数的普通人而言，理财才是最有可能实现财富自由的切实可靠的途径。
I don’t really know how to contain my happiness and excitement while typing these words. And while thinking about the life that I would want to live after I’ve attained my freedom financially. I just want to live a life that would allow me to do everything that I like!I want to have a lot of free time. I want to pursue my dreams. I want to become a person of value. Most importantly, I want to help a lot of people. And I believe that most people are just like me, if without the shackles of money and other concerns in life, perhaps they will also be doing the things which they really like to do or which they are passionate about. And they would surely live their lives the way they want to. So, in order to achieve this beautiful dream, for the vast majority of ordinary people like us, wise money management is a reliable way through which financial freedom is most likely to be achieved.
今天就先到这里哦，下一期栏目我会正式带领大家,用正确的方式打开理财之门。Come on baby,I think you will be the person who you want to .
