EP01. 花好月圆 The Beauty of "Flowers in Full Bloom and a Bright Moon"

Have ever DITCHED somebody? :)
سلام خوبین؟ امیدوارم که حالتون خوب باشه. من امروز اومدم با یه اصطلاح باحال در زبان فارسی "پیچوندن".  معنی تحت‌الفظی این کلمه میشه "to twist"
 ولی خب ما به صورت اصطلاح هم خیلی ازش استفاده می‌کنیم. "پیچوندن" اصطلاحا یعنی کسی رو دور زدن یعنی وقتی با یه بهانه‌ یا دروغ یه کار دیگه می‌کنید. مثلا  "دیروز دوستم من رو تولدش دعوت کرد اما من پیچوندمش" یعنی اینکه دوست شما، شما رو  تولدش دعوت می‌کنه ولی خب شما به هر دلیلی شاید از اون خوشتون نمیاد یا هر چیز دیگه دعوت رو  رد می‌کنید مثلا میگین "عزیزم ببخشید ولی من فردا وقت دکتر دارم" یا "ببخشید فردا خونه‌ی مامان بزرگم دعوتم" یعنی شما با اون بهانه دارین... آره... دوستتونرو  رد می‌کنید، دعوتش رو  رد می‌کنید.
 یا مثلا بعضی وقتا ما میگیم "واقعا فکر کردی می‌تونی من رو بپیچونی؟" اگه بخوام به انگلیسی ترجمه کنم میشه"Do you really think you can ditch me?"
  پس پیچوندن یه همچین معنی ای داره! در کل که کار خوبی نیست ولی خب من این اصطلاح رو به شما یاد دادم امیدوارم که از پادکست امروز خوشتون اومده باشه و تا پادکست بعدی خدانگهدار

If you say that a task was "plain sailing" then it's easy to complete. You didn't have any difficulty doing it. Of course, you could also say that a task was not plain sailing, meaning that it was a bit of a challenge!

One of the weirdest things about British culture is the way we enjoy our visits to cemeteries. Cemeteries, otherwise known as graveyards, are places where you can find British people relaxing with a cup of tea, perhaps, uh, a bottle of Coca-Cola or with a sandwich. It's a little bit strange. Now, I've lived in many countries across the world, and I have to say that only in Britain are we completely detached from the feelings associated with tombs, graves and dead people.
 If you go to a restaurant in the UK, particularly a cafe, you may even find that it was once a church.  There are churches around which close, and then they're sold to restaurant owners, or they become pubs, and you find yourself walking across these tombs without even thinking about it. To avoid any difficulties or problems with this. Some restaurants and pubs will lay carpets on the floor so that you won't actually see the names of those who've died.  Not to worry though, because these people who've died, usually they've died hundreds of years ago. It's not like they died last week. I'm not sure if that makes it worse or makes it better.
