如何理解 declutter 一词?它与 organize 有什么不同?

文中说一部作品 took audiences by storm 是什么意思?

根据文章,近藤的改变违背了她收纳的“初心”吗?

正文

Marie Kondo revealed she's 'kind of given up' on being so tidy. People freaked out

近藤麻理惠透露,她“有点放弃”保持整洁了,许多人表示惊讶

Marie Kondo, the queen of tidy, says her house isn't so tidy anymore.

“收纳女王”近藤麻理惠说,她的房子不再那么整洁了。

"I have kind of given up on that in a good way for me," said Kondo, the author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, a self-help book that took audiences by storm.

“我有点放弃整理了,这对我而言是一种好的方式,”近藤说,她著有《怦然心动的人生整理魔法:日本整理和收纳艺术》一书,这本自我提升类的书籍在读者中大受欢迎。

She's also a mother of three. "Now I realize what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home," the Japanese cleaning consultant recently told listeners, according to The Washington Post.

她也是三个孩子的母亲。据《华盛顿邮报》报道,这位来自日本的整理收纳顾问最近告诉听众:“现在我意识到,对我来说重要的是享受和孩子们在家的时光。”

The person behind the KonMari method — decluttering by tossing anything that doesn't "spark joy" — no longer (totally) practices what she preached. Some people shared their reactions on social media.

“KonMari 整理术”指通过扔掉任何不能“激发快乐”的东西来整理东西,创造这一概念的近藤却不再(完全)实践她所宣扬的内容。一些人在社交媒体上分享了他们的反应。

"The fact that Marie Kondo, leader of millennials who were taught (by her) to only keep things that spark joy, has given up on tidying up her house now that she has 3 kids, is really sending me," wrote one person on Twitter.***

“近藤麻理惠是千禧一代的领袖。她教导千禧一代只保留能够激发快乐的东西,因为她有了 3 个孩子,已经放弃整理自己的房子,这样的事实真的让我很开心,”一位网友在推特上写道。

Parents, in particular, felt seen. "This was both refreshing and validating to read," wrote one Twitter user. "I have 3 kids and have been trying out the KonMari method every 3 months but it's just not feasible."

尤其是父母,他们觉得自己被看到了。一位推特用户写道: “这既让人耳目一新,也让人读来很有认同感。我有三个孩子,每三个月都会尝试‘近藤整理术’,但这行不通。”

But for Kondo, keeping a tidy house is only part of the practice. "The true purpose of tidying is not to cut down on your possessions or declutter your space," Kondo says. But rather, to learn to make meaningful choices and find gratitude in everyday life.

但对近藤来说,保持房子整洁只是实践的一部分。近藤说:“整理房间的真正目的不是为了减少个人物品,也不是为了清理空间。”而是要学会在日常生活中做出有意义的选择,找到感恩之心。
