안녕하세요 여러분! 오늘은 "시작이 반이다" 라는 속담에 대해서 이야기를 해봅시다.

필로우 토크 - Pillow Talk 

시작이 반이다

Ciao studenti e studentesse di tutto il mondo e benvenuti nel quinto episodio di “Impara l'italiano con Isa”! 🌍📚😃 In questo podcast, come vi ho anticipato in quello precedente, parleremo di un simbolo segreto. Ho scoperto, dopo aver acquistato la mia auto, che sono ormai quasi vent’anni che su ogni auto di nuova produzione dello stesso marchio della mia, viene inciso e nascosto da qualche parte nell’abitacolo uno squalo. Vuoi scoprire di quale auto sto parlando e la motivazione di questa scelta di design? Ascolta il podcast per scoprirlo! 🦈🚗
If you need the transcription, I could provide to give it to you, so feel free to contact me with a message! :)

Impara l’italiano con Isa

Lo squalo nell’auto 

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.
