night economy / 夜间经济 / (yèjiān jīnɡjìj)
A: Are you free tonight? Do you want to eat dinner together?
你今晚有空吗？要不要一起吃晚餐？
(nǐ jīnwǎn yǒukōnɡma? yàobùyào yīqǐ chīwǎncān?)
B: I can't do tonight. I'm going to a night tour of a museum with my mom and dad.
今晚可不行,我要和爸妈一起去夜游博物馆。
(jīnwǎn kě bùxínɡ, wǒyàohé bàmā yīqǐqù yèyóubówùɡuǎn.)
A: This reminds me of a popular internet term called "night economy." Have you heard of it?
你这么一说让我想到一个网络热词叫"夜间经济",你听说过吗？
(nǐ zhème yīshuō rànɡwǒ xiǎnɡdào yīɡè wǎnɡluò rècíjiào "yèjiānjīnɡjì", nǐ tīnɡshuō ɡuòma?)
B: Of course. "Night economy" isn't just a popular internet term, it is a means of increasing a city's consumer demand. Besides restaurants that open at night, there are a lot of other new models for spending money at night.
当然,"夜间经济"不仅是网络热词,它还是提升城市消费需求的举措。除了夜间餐饮行业,夜间消费还有很多新模式。

A: You're right. The museum night tour you mentioned is just one of them. They not only give people who are busy with work some places for cultural consumption, but the night atmosphere also gives people a different feeling when visiting exhibitions.
没错,你说的夜游博物馆就是其中之一。它不仅给平时工作繁忙的人提供了文化消费场所,同时夜色能让观众对文化展览有不同的观感。

B: Yes. similar events of cultural consumption can also involve the elderly and children, which they help create better family ambience.
是的,类似的文化消费活动能让老人和孩子都参与,这有助于家庭和睦。
(shìde, lèisìde wénhuà xiāofèi huódònɡ nénɡrànɡ lǎorén hé háizǐ dōucānyǔ, zhè yǒuzhùyú jiātínɡ hémù.)
A: I'll take my mom and dad to such events next time.
等下次有空,我也带着爸妈晚上出来逛逛。
