changing uncountable nouns into countable ones

A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.

そうですよね。まずは、どこへ行くかが大切ですよね。
日本列島は南北に長いので、日本の夏と言っても場所によっては、気温や湿度が違うんですよね。高気圧が近づくと本当に暑いです。そして、最近は夕立も多いので、雲の動きにも注意が必要になりますね。また日本の夏は梅雨が明けると、湿度が高くて、蒸し暑いですし、日差しも強いので、暑さ対策は必要です。少しでもこの暑さを避けるために、海沿いで、海風がある場所か、山のふもとで、近くには滝が流れていたり、地下水が沸いていたりするところがいいですね。山へ行くか、海へ行くか迷います。

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
相信大家对中文的数字都不陌生了吧，那今天我们就来学一学一些跟数字有关的词，看看普通的数字还能怎么用？
首先是“一”，有一个词叫“一心一意”。第一个意思是“非常专心”，例如：他一心一意投入学习，不受其他的事情影响。第二个意思是“坚持一个想法”，例如：他一心一意要退学创业，谁也改变不了他的想法。还有一个词叫“一心多用”，意思是“同时想着或者做着好几件事”，例如：现在的人经常一心多用，一边工作一边听音乐，还能一边跟人聊天。
数字“二”有一个常用的词叫“二话不说”，意思是“没有犹豫”，例如：朋友跟他借钱，他二话不说就给他了。“二百五”除了是“两百五十”的意思，还常指那些傻头傻脑，说话不正经、办事不认真的人。这样的人我们说“他是个二百五。”
三心二意：指的是“一会儿想这样一会儿想那样，犹豫不决或意志不坚定”。例如：他无论做什么都三心二意，做不长久。
三言两语：指的是“简单的几句话”。例如：这件事太复杂了，三言两语解释不清楚。
怕三怕四：指的是“这也怕,那也怕，不能做出决定”。例如：遇到机会的时候他总是怕三怕四，所以到现在还是个普通员工。
丢三落四：指的是“一个人做事很粗心，不是丢了这个，就是忘了那个。”例如：他这人丢三落四的，今天又把钥匙弄丢了。
