The Morning Video (Part 2)
Lin Mi films her morning video, but her cat has other plans.

林米准备开始拍“美好早晨”的影片,她先把手机放在厨房的架子上,调整好角度。Lin Mi was ready to film her "good morning" video. She placed her phone on the kitchen shelf and adjusted the angle.她一边泡热茶,一边对着镜头微笑,说今天的主题是“让自己慢下来,好好享受早晨”。As she brewed her hot tea, she smiled at the camera and said that today's theme was "slow down and enjoy the morning."
正当她想拍煎蛋时,她家的猫忽然跳上桌子,把刚拿出来的鸡蛋全撞倒了。Just as she was about to film the fried egg, her cat suddenly jumped onto the table and knocked over all the eggs she had taken out.鸡蛋在桌上滚来滚去,她吓了一跳,又忍不住笑出来。The eggs rolled all over the table. She was startled, then couldn't help laughing.
她对镜头说:“大家看看,这才是真实的生活,永远会有意外。”She said to the camera, "Look, this is real life. There's always something unexpected."她用纸巾擦干净桌子,又重新拿了一个鸡蛋,希望这次不要再出问题。She wiped the table with tissues and took another egg, hoping nothing would go wrong this time.
她决定继续拍下整个过程,让观众看到最自然的一面。She decided to keep filming the whole process so her viewers could see the most natural side of her.
