素养:思维品质 难度:中 用时:7分钟
These days, many kids like collecting(收集) special things called “goods(谷子)”. Fans often call them guzi. Among these goods, the most popular is the badge(徽章), known as baji.
These badges are usually small and round, and there are pictures of characters from famous cartoons on them. However, not every company(公司) can sell badges. Only some cartoon companies have the right to sell those badges, and their prices are different. Usually, common badges might cost 15 to 30 yuan.
Why do teenagers love badges so much? First, wearing a badge shows their love for a cartoon. It makes them feel close to the characters they like. Second, badges help them make friends. At anime conventions, badge lovers talk to each other, trade badges, and meet people with the same hobbies.
They know they’re part of a big group.
But sometimes this hobby can cause problems. Some fans spend too much money—they even use their breakfast money to buy expensive badges. Others get upset if they can’t get the badges they want, or if someone else has a better collection.
Collecting baji and other kinds of guzi can be a fun hobby. But it’s also important to remember not to spend too much money or get too stressed about it. After all, the real magic of cartoons is in the stories and the feelings they give us, not just in the badges we collect.
