sense of security/ "安全感"/ ān quán ɡǎn
A: Have you ever had a moment where you felt a great sense of security?
你有在某一个刹那觉得非常有安全感吗?
(n ǐyǒu zài mǒu yīɡè shānà juédé fēichánɡ yǒu ān quán ɡǎn ma?)
B: Both small and big things can provide a sense of security. When it comes to me, the noodles my mom cooks give me a sense of security. And when I found out that China has developed a vaccine against novel coronavirus, that also made me feel a sense of security.
给予安全感的事情可大可小。对我来说,妈妈煮的面会让我有安全感,得知中国研发出抗击新冠的疫苗也让我觉得有安全感。
