Wedding planning

啊！小王子，就这样，我逐渐懂得了你那忧郁的生活。
Oh, little prince! Bit by bit I came to understand the secrets of your sad little life.
过去相当长的时间里你唯一的乐趣就是观赏那夕阳西下的温柔晚景。
For a long time you had found your only entertainment in the quiet pleasure of looking at the sunset.
这个新的细节，是我在第四天早晨知道的。
I learned that new detail on the morning of the fourth day,
你当时对我说道：“我喜欢看日落。我们去看一回日落吧！”
when you said to me: "I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset now."
“可是得等着…，”我说，“等什么？”
"But we must wait," I said. "Wait? For what?"
等太阳落山。

For the sunset. We must wait until it is time.
开始，你显得很惊奇的样子，
At first you seemed to be very much surprised.
随后你笑自己的糊涂。
And then you laughed to yourself.
你对我说：“我总以为是在我的家乡呢！”
You said to me: "I am always thinking that I am at home!"
确实，大家都知道，在美国是正午时分，在法国，正夕阳西下，
Just so. Everybody knows that when it is noon in the United States the sun is setting over France.
只要在一分钟内赶到法国就可看到日落。
If you could try to France in one minute, you could go straight into the sunset, right from noon.
可惜法国是那么的遥远。
Unfortunately, France is too far away for that.
而在你那样的小行星上，你只要把你的椅子挪动几步就行了。
But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps.
这样，你便可随时看到你想看的夕阳余辉…
You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like...
“一天”，你对我说，“我看见过四十三次日落”。
"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"
过一会儿，你又说：“你知道，当人们感到非常苦闷时，总是喜欢日落的。”
And a little later you added: "You know –one loves the sunset, when one is so sad."
“一天四十三次，你怎么会这么苦闷？”我问。
"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"
小王子没有回答。
But the little prince made no reply.

In this episode we will learn some speaking skills at work.
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊职场的话题。如果你的领导和你说辛苦了，你应该怎么回答呢？如果你是领导，你更喜欢什么样的回答呢？杨天真是公司的老板，我们来听听她的建议吧。
当领导或者长辈跟你说辛苦了，你该怎么回答才能把这个话聊下去呢？给你几个高情商的应对方案。我们大多数人听到领导说辛苦了，第一反应回答说，唉不辛苦不辛苦。其实呢领导说辛苦了，一方面也是客气，一方面也是你工作的肯定，他也是想表达一种感谢。所以这个答案呢根据你领导的类型，不同类型的领导应该给与不同的回答方案。
第一，你的领导如果比较注重权威，是一个比较有官威的领导。那这种领导呢其实就是要你懂得感恩，知道TA给了你一个工作机会，所以你就回答TA说：“谢谢领导给与这个机会让我锻炼，我确实通过这个机会成长了不少。这点辛苦跟收获比起来其实不算什么，我会好好继续努力的。”那么领导就会有一种大满足的感觉，觉得我果然选对人了。
第二呢就是老师型的领导。有一种领导呢，其实TA是比较好为人师的，很愿意指导你。那么遇到这种领导的时候，你可以这么回答：“谢谢领导的关心。其实呢，我把我这次工作已经总结成文字了，有一些我做得好的地方和一些做得不好的地方。甚至呢，我还想象了一下，可能未来我们能怎么做，有一个方案给您。你要得空的话，可以给我指导指导。”这样呢，领导就会觉得哇这小孩子真不错，既对当下有总结，还对未来有规划，同时很尊重自己的意见。这样你能创造跟领导的进一步的交流机会。
第三呢，还有一种领导是比较和蔼的，喜欢跟员工打成一片。遇到这样的领导呢，你就可以这样回复：“谢谢领导的认可。其实不光我辛苦，所有的小伙伴都挺帮忙的，要不然看在大家这么努力的份上，您请大家搓顿饭吧。”这种调侃式呢，比较受用于这种和蔼的领导。TA会觉得你这个小朋友不贪功，知道团队的作用。那他也许就趁机搞了个团建活动等等。这都是一种比较好的促进和蔼型领导跟大家打成一片，更认可你的方法。以上，你学会了吗？
你觉得哪些方法适合你？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

领导说辛苦了，怎么回？ What is the best way to respond to a leader who says, "Thank you for your hard work"? （Intermediate level）

A flight attendant approaches Matt to offer him a drink.


Flight Attendant
Would you like something to drink? We have soda, coffee and tea as well as alcoholic beverages.


Matt
Sure, how much are the drinks?


Flight Attendant
Non-alcoholic beverages are free of charge. Alcoholic drinks are five dollars each.


Matt
Ok. I'd like to have a cup of coffee, please. Are meals going to be served on this flight?


Flight Attendant
Dinner will be served halfway through the flight. I will also bring you a snack with your beverage.


Matt
Can we choose what we will have for dinner?


Flight Attendant
Certainly. I will be bringing the menu for you to choose from. We have chicken, fish, and beef.


Matt
Is a vegetarian meal available?


Flight Attendant
Yes, but only if you have requested a special meal when you booked your flight. If not, I will try to find some extra servings of vegetables for you.


Matt
That would be great. Thank you very much.
