EP 12. WHY COLOMBIA HAS NO SUMMER?

نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

که بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی

من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش

که تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی

چنگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی

وعظت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی

در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر است

حیف باشد که ز کار همه غافل باشی

نقد عمرت ببرد غصه دنیا به گزاف

گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکل باشی

گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست

رفتن آسان بود ار واقف منزل باشی

حافظا گر مدد از بخت بلندت باشد

صید آن شاهد مطبوع شمایل باشی


'Tis the fresh spring . In this strive that joyous of heart thou mayst be
For , again , blossometh many a rose when in the clay of the grave thou shall be . *** Within the veil , thee , the harp keepeth giving counsel . But ,
Thee , counsel profiteth at that time when worthy thou mayst be . *** I say not now , with whom , sit what drink
For thou knowest , if wise and learned thou be . *** In the sward , every leaf is a book of a different state
Woe is it if , careless of the state of all , thou be . *** Though , from us to the Friend , is a Path the path of ma'rifat full of fear ,
Easy is the going , if acquainted with the stage the Shaikh thou be . *** In excess , the world's anguish taketh life's cash ,
If , night and day , in this difficult tale , of journeying to the Friend thou be . *** O Hafiz if , from lofty fortune , aid be thine ,
The prey of that true Beloved , impressed with excellences , thou shalt be

Hafiz - نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

Сегодня я выбрала известный роман “12 стульев” двух советских писателей - Ильи Ильфа и Евгения Петрова. Без сомнения, данная книга содержится в культурном коде любого русского человека, все знают цитаты и диалоги из нее, а особенно из фильмов, которые были сняты по этому произведению.

Но выбранный отрывок интересен еще и тем, что из него вы узнаете 7 разных фраз и слов, которые означают одно - человек умер. Богатство русского языка на ярком примере, так сказать.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: ца́рствие небе́сное - the Kingdom of Heaven; согласи́ться - выразить, подтвердить своё согласие - to agree; преста́виться - умереть - to die, pass away; отда́ть бо́гу ду́шу (to give your soul to God) - умереть - to die, pass away; смотря́ кака́я - it depends on what; в те́ле - упитанный, толстый - well-fed, fat; покрупне́е - bigger; похуде́е - thinner, skinny; счита́ться - слыть, быть известным в качестве кого-нибудь - to consider, known as; ви́дный - (разг.) значительный, известный, рослый, статный - prominent, conspicuous, distinguished; возвы́шенный - высокий - high; е́жели - если - if; не дай бог - God forbid; помере́ть - умереть - to die, pass away; сыгра́ть в я́щик (kick the bucket) - умереть - to die, pass away; торго́вый - trade, commercial, merchant; бы́вшей купе́ческой ги́льдии - former merchant guild; приказа́ть до́лго жить - умереть - to die, pass away; чин - служебный разряд у военных и гражданских служащих - rank; дво́рник - janitor, wiper; крестья́нин - peasant; переки́нуться - умереть - to die, pass away; но́ги протяну́ть (stretch your legs) - умереть - to die, pass away; могу́чий - мощный, сильный - powerful; железнодоро́жный конду́ктор - railway conductor; нача́льство - brass, authority; дать ду́ба - умереть - to die, pass away.

Petit hibou
Monsieur Hibou organise une fête : il est arrière-arrière-arrière-arrière-grand-père. Et, cette fois, c’est un garçon.
À peine éclos, le petit présente déjà un vaste front, signe qu’il deviendra un grand savant comme son illustre ancêtre.
Monsieur Hibou montre fièrement son héritier à chacun des invités en s’écriant :
- Voyez comme il me ressemble !

"Beauty is not everything but it is something."
With the popularity of social media, many people are pressured to look their best, especially women. In my country, the skin care industry is a billion dollar industry. Many people are obsessed to have that porcelain skin and even change their nose and have lip fillers. The competition is stiff when it comes to the beauty department. However, is it enough? Is beauty alone enough to sustain a conversation, to win a pageant and to be successful in any field? This podcast aims to answer this question.
