An activity I often do that wastes my time is attending some gathering dinners of my parents’ friends and relatives.
一件我通常做的浪费时间的事情是参加我父母的亲戚朋友的聚会。
You know, there’s a tradition in China, at least in my province, that one should throw a feast as big as possible to invite friends and relatives to attend as a way of celebration if something big happens. It is not only a method of commemorating the big day but also a chance to enhance social connections.
在中国，起码是在我这个省份，有个传统。那就是，如果有大事情发生，人们得举办盛宴来邀请亲戚朋友参加，来通过这种方式纪念。这不仅仅是一个纪念的方式，也是一次巩固社交人际关系的机会。
I usually attend these kinds of events during the weekends nearly once a month. You know my family has a lot of connections. So, it’s not a rare thing that someone would give a phone call to invite us to have dinner the next day with their friends.
我通常会每一个月参加一次这样的聚会。我们家有比较多的人缘关系。所以，别人打电话来说明天请我们去吃饭也不是什么少见的事情了。
The reason why I need to do it is that I have to. You know, I wouldn’t be regarded as a courteous kid in front of those senior relatives if I didn’t accept their invitations. Also, this article is from Laokaoya website, my parents often warn me that I won’t be able to have a meal at home if I don’t go with them, which often makes me quite upset.
我觉得我得做这件事情的原因是我不得不做。如果我不接受他们的邀请，我就会被父母的那些长辈亲戚们当做不懂礼节的孩子。除此之外，我父母也经常警告我说，如果我不和他们一起去的话，我就会没饭吃，这让我很难受。
In my eyes, the biggest reason why it is time-consuming for me is that I actually have little value in doing those activities. You know, during the gathering, I met no peers but those who are at my parents’ age. You know, they are just playing Mahjong or something like that where I feel totally not interested. I’d rather stay at home doing my assignments or playing computer games than idling there.
在我看来，我觉得很浪费时间的最大原因就是我其实在这种活动上一无是处。在聚会的时候，我见不到同龄的朋友，只有和我父母相仿的年纪的人。他们只是玩一些麻将之类的东西，这我完全不感兴趣。我宁愿待在家里做作业或者打游戏也不愿意在那虚度光阴。
