Today I shortly talk about portuguese music and some portuguese singers.

Português com a Ana

Portuguese Music / Música Portuguesa

MEG: Well, hello there, Julia! Long time no see!
JULIA: Meg! Hi! What a coincidence! I haven’t seen you in ages! What 
are you doing here?
MEG: I just got a new job in the city, so I’m shopping for some 
clothes. Hey, what do you think of this shirt?
JULIA: Hmmm … well, you know how much I love blue. See? I’ve got 
the same shirt!
MEG: You always did have good taste! What a small world.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Well, hello there … Notice the emphasis on “hello,” which shows that Meg did not 
expect to see Julia.
• Long time, no see! This is a common expression used to say hello to someone you 
haven’t seen in a long time.
• What a ___! This exclamation shows a great degree of surprise, joy, disappointment, 
etc. (What a surprise to see you here! What a joy to have you with us! What a shame 
that you have to leave so soon! What a wonderful idea that is!)
• You always did have good taste! Notice the stress on “did,” which Meg uses to 
emphasize the fact that Julia DOES have good taste! Meg says it in a joking way 
because Julia likes the same thing that she does.
• What a small world is a common expression used to describe a chance meeting or 
other such coincidence.

Episodio #12  -  La familia en México | Cultura | Aprende México 

         悬梁xuan2 liang2--------东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。开始由于知识浅薄得不到重用，连家里人都看不起他，使他大受刺激，下决心认真钻研，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样就会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。这就是孙敬“悬梁”的故事。

        刺骨ci4gu3--------战国时期，有一个人名叫苏秦，也是出名的政治家。在年轻时，由于学问不多不深，曾到好多地方做事，都不受重视。回家后，家人对他也很冷淡，瞧不起他。这对他的刺激很大。所以，他下定决心，发奋读书。他常常读书到深夜，很疲倦，常打盹，直想睡觉。于是他想出了一个方法，准备一把锥子，一打瞌睡，就用锥子往自己的大腿上刺一下。这样，猛然间感到疼痛，使自己清醒起来，再坚持读书。这就是苏秦“刺股”的故事。

悬梁刺股---孙敬/苏秦

原来，在小王子的星球上就象其他所有星球上一样，有好草和坏草；
Indeed, as I learned, there were on the planet where the little prince lived–as on all planets–good plants and bad plants.
因此，也就有益草的草籽和毒草的草籽，
In consequence, there were good seeds from good plants, and bad seeds from bad plants.
可是草籽是看不见的。
But seeds are invisible.
它们沉睡在泥土里，直到其中的一粒忽然想要苏醒过来
They sleep deep in the heart of the earth's darkness, until some one among them is seized with the desire to awaken.
于是它就伸展开身子，开始腼腆地朝着太阳长出一棵秀丽可爱的小嫩苗。
Then this little seed will stretch itself and begin– timidly at first–to push a charming little sprig inoffensively upward toward the sun.
如果是小萝卜或是玫瑰的嫩苗，就让它去自由地生长。
If it is only a sprout of radish or the sprig of a rose-bush, one would let it grow wherever it might wish.
如果是一棵坏苗，一旦被辨认出来，就应该马上把它拔掉。
But when it is a bad plant, one must destroy it as soon as possible, the very first instant that one recognizes it.
因为在小王子的星球上，有些非常可怕的种子
Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince;
这就是猴面包树的种子。
and these were the seeds of the baobab.
在那里的泥土里，这种种子多得成灾。
The soil of that planet was infested with them.
而一棵猴面包树苗，假如你拔得太迟，就再也无法把它清除掉。
A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet.
它就会盘踞整个星球。
It bores clear through it with its roots.
它的树根能把星球钻透，如果星球很小，而猴面包树很多，它就把整个星球搞得支离破碎。
And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces.
“这是个纪律问题。”小王子后来向我解释道。
"It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on.
当你早上梳洗完毕以后，必须仔细地给星球梳洗，
"When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care.
必须规定自己按时去拔掉猴面包树苗。
You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs,
这种树苗小的时候与玫瑰苗差不多，一旦可以把它们区别开的时候，就要把它拔掉。
at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth.
“这是一件非常乏味的工作”，小王子说，“但很容易。”

Las siglas y acrónimos son palabras que usamos para acortar otras palabras o conceptos más largos. Por ejemplo, DNI es la sigla para Documento Nacional de Identidad, en este episodio te hablo de otras siglas y acrónimos que usamos los españoles. Algunos son conceptos españoles, pero otros son conceptos internacionales que hemos traducido al español, o que hemos adaptado a nuestra pronunciación.     
Espero que disfrutes del episodio. Cuando lo hayas escuchado deja un comentario o pásate por mi Instagram y dime qué piensas del episodio y cuál es la cosa que más te ha sorprendido.
