NOVA PASSANTE


1. sobre
esta pele branca
um calígrafo oriental
teria gravado sua escrita
luminosa
— sem esquecer entanto
a boca: um
ícone em rubro
tornando mais fogo
suor e susto
tornando mais ácida e
insana a sede
(sede de dilúvio)

2. talvez
um poeta afogado num
danúbio imaginário dissesse
que seus olhos são duas
machadinhas de jade escavando o
constelário noturno:
a partir do que comporia
duzentas odes cromáticas
— mas eu que venero (mais que o ouro verde
raríssimo) o marfim em
alta-alvura de teu andar em
desmesura sobre uma passarela de
relâmpagos súbitos, sei que
tua pele pálida de papel
pede palavras
de luz

3. algum
mozárabe ou andaluz
decerto
       te dedicaria
um concerto
            para guitarras mouriscas
e cimitarras suicidas
(mas eu te dedico quando passas
no istmo de mim a isto
este tiroteio de silêncios
esta salva de arrepios)

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【外卖】的话题。
在中国，每天都有很多人点外卖。你不仅可以点早餐、午餐和晚餐，还可以点下午茶和宵夜。打开外卖app，各种各样的美食让你选个够。每天不重样，一点也不夸张。
现在中国的外卖行业，主要是美团和饿了么两大平台。每天在路上我们可以看到穿着黄色衣服的美团外卖小哥和蓝色衣服的饿了么外卖小哥，骑着电动车送外卖。外卖行业差不多是2010年开始的，2012年到2016年是快速发展的时期。
如今外卖服务已经是每个人生活中不可或缺的一部分。在中国体验过外卖服务的外国人甚至把外卖服务称为世界第九大奇迹，因为中国的外卖服务真的太方便了。
第一，速度快。点个外卖基本上30分钟以内可以送到，距离比较近的不到20分钟就到了。
第二，种类多。什么类型的美食都可以用打包盒装好，送到你的家里。除了美食，还可以买菜，买药，买花等等。
第三，便宜。在app点外卖，经常可以领到优惠券。如果成为会员，每个月付12块钱的会员费就可以领4个5元的红包。这些红包在你点外卖的时候可以抵扣。
第四，方便。只要动动手在app下单，半个小时后就可以吃到热乎乎的美食，还不用洗碗。这对于很多忙碌疲惫的人来说，是一日三餐的最佳选择。
那么点外卖有没有一些缺点呢？我觉得还是有的。首先，便宜的外卖食材可能不够新鲜，吃多了对身体不太好。而且很多外卖都是重口味的，吃多了很容易变胖。因为叫外卖太方便了，大家随时都能下订单，无形中也增加了食物的摄入。
我享受外卖带给我的方便，不过我大部分时间还是自己在家做饭，偶尔会叫外卖换换口味。
你呢？你经常点外卖吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

眉- Méi

 "目" - mù - eye, the upper part of 眉- Méi could refer to "毛" - máo", meaning "hair" or "fur." 
The combination represents the hairs above the eyes, hence "eyebrows." 
This formation suggests the character's meaning directly and visually connects it to the facial feature it represents.

用法 (Usage)

 As a noun, "眉" directly refers to the eyebrows. 
 眉毛 - méi mao - eyebrows

例如 (For example): 
他的眉毛很浓。- Tā de méi mao hěn nóng  
(His eyebrows are very thick.)

However, it is often used metaphorically in Chinese to denote expressions or emotions conveyed by the movement of the eyebrows, such as surprise, concern, or anger.

For instance, 眉头- méi tóu - the inner brow, refers to the area where the eyebrows begin, typically located above the inner corners of the eyes.

For example, "皱眉头" - zhòu méi tóu, means "to furrow one's brow," indicating worry or deep thought..

Idiomatic Expressions: "眉- Méi" appears in various idioms that use eyebrows metaphorically to talk about emotions or aesthetic qualities.

例如 (For example): 
眉开眼笑 - méi kāi yǎn xiào - lit. "eyebrows rise and eyes smile," meaning to smile joyfully or beam with happiness

眉飞色舞 - méi fēi sè wǔ - lit. "eyebrows fly and colors dance," used to describe vivid, expressive facial gestures of excitement or happiness

Metaphorical Usage: In poetic or artistic contexts, "眉" can metaphorically relate to things that resemble the shape or curve of eyebrows.

例如：(For example): 
山的轮廓好像一道眉形。-Shān de lún kuò hǎo xiàng yí dào méi xíng 。
(The outline of the mountain resembles the shape of an eyebrow.)
