假期将至，大家终于可以有段比较放松的时间。所以我专门挑了一些比较轻快、日常的英文内容。我们学英语不仅仅是为了考试，更是为了打开眼界。所有的语言都是辅助我们了解世界、认识世界的工具。接下来我会挑选一些知名外国博主的 vlog，并跟大家分享里面提到的常用表达。
So I've been practicing this rule recently and the rule is, think about your attic or your closet, your storage unit whatever it is, what would happen if it just went away, it evaporated Into thin air, your house burned down and you lost all that stuff. Would you actually be relieved? Are you overly attached to it? Does your stuff actually kind of own you a little bit?
For me, I had this realization. There are a few things in my house that I wouldn't love to lose. for the most part it wouldn't really affect me as a person my happiness levels anything if my house burned down and that's a really freaking concept because the stuff we own ends up owning us. So the more stuff I've gotten rid of, the more like calm and mental clarity have ended up having in my life.

So the more stuff I've gotten rid of, the more like calm and mental clarity have ended up having in my life.
听力分析：这句话的 have 是不是误听成 of 或者干脆漏掉啦？have 在这里并非读作 /hæv/，而是弱读为 /əv/。不过故事到这儿并没有结束，have 不但弱读，还与前面的 clarity 构成了连读。但这里的连读并非辅元连读，而是元元连读，中间需要加上 /j/，于是 clarity have 变成 /ˈklærəti jəv/。
for the most part
如果你想表达「在很大程度上」，除了用 in large part，还可以写成 for the most part。「很大程度上由于」我们可写成 due in large part to。2008 年考研作文的主题是「合作」，一个简单又有新意的句子就出来了：
Brilliant success was due in large part to good teamwork.
辉煌的成功在很大程度上归功于良好的团队合作。
I think I first heard this rule from the minimalists, but especially in my beginning stages of decluttering when I was going through a bunch of stuff and I realized that we have so many things that we hang on to for just in case. Just in case people come over. Just in case I need to make 18 cups of coffee at once. Just in case I go up a size or I go down a size. We’ve got all of this stuff for just in case.
So as you're decluttering, you're trying to figure out what to get rid of. If you can replace an item for twenty dollars in under 20 minutes, then just let it go, obviously without being wasteful. But when I've used this rule and I’ve exercised this, there really hasn't been one thing that I've actually needed to replace. So if you're on the edge of something, use the 2020 rule if it fits in there. Just let it go.
This rule and actually the last two are my absolute favorite rules, so make sure you stick around for those. But the Box Rule kind of expands on the last one where if you're going through decluttering stuff you're unsure about it, maybe it doesn't fit in the 2020 rule. Throw it in a box, put it in your attic, put it in the garage and set a reminder on your phone for like six months from now that you will go through that box and decide that.
So this is for the people who have a hard time getting rid of stuff and you're like “well, I'm not getting rid of it, I'm just putting it in a box". And when that time comes, maybe six months from now, and you realize that you haven't gone to that box because clearly you didn't need anything out of it. You have two choices. You can either go through it and decide to sell or declutter it. Or you can just take the entire box and donate the entire box because clearly you don't need anything that's in there. So if you want to trick yourself into cluttering, this is great.
