你上一次發呆是什麼時候？不是滑手機那種，是真的坐著，讓腦袋自己亂飄的那種。小時候我們常常整個下午都在做白日夢發呆，長大後卻好像越來越難了。這週的《英語咖啡館》John 老師和 Shimin 老師要從一部電影和一首歌，聊聊我們是怎麼把想像力弄丟的。

John老師從小就很喜歡一位英國作家 Roald Dahl，今天我們聊到了這位作家一部跨越五十年的三個電影改編版本，以及三位演員各自演出來的同一個角色：威利旺卡。透過介紹《Pure Imagination》這首歌，我們也聊到了一個很實際的問題：大人的快樂到底是什麼？答案可能比你想的簡單很多，一張沙發、一隻貓，或是一份剛炸好的薯條。

When was the last time you zoned out? Not the kind where you're scrolling your phone, but the real kind where you just sit there and let your mind wander freely. As kids, we spent whole afternoons daydreaming and spacing out, but as adults it seems harder and harder to do. This week on English Cafe, John and Shimin discuss how we lost our imagination through a film and a song.

John has loved British author Roald Dahl since childhood, and today we discuss this author's three film adaptations spanning fifty years and three different actors each portraying the same character: Willy Wonka. Through introducing the song "Pure Imagination," we also discuss a very practical question: what is adult happiness anyway? The answer might be much simpler than you think—a sofa, a cat, or a freshly fried order of fries.
