大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊和“房子”有关的词。
我们一般说一套房子，房子里面有几个房间。一房一厅或者一室一厅指的是：一个房子里面有一个卧室和一个客厅。 那两房一厅就是指有两个卧室了。只有一个房间，没有客厅的那种房子我们叫单间。
去住酒店的时候，有几种酒店房型可以选择。单人房，里面有一张单人床，一般只能住一个人。大床房：里面有一张大床，适合两个人一起睡。双人房：有两张单人床，适合两个人住。套房：有两个以上的房间，带有一个客厅，当然还有卫生间、厨房等，适合一家人出游的时候住。商务房：一般带有两张单人床或者一张大床，适合出差的商务人员居住。
我们经常说的real estate，中文叫做房地产，包括房产和地产。在中国的一线城市，房价很高，大部分年轻人只能租房。但是对于中国人来说，房子非常重要，特别是结婚的时候，所以买房是大家努力的目标。全款买房几乎是不可能的事，一般是付了首付，然后每个月还房贷。因为房贷的压力很大，我们把买了房然后每个月要还房贷的人叫做“房奴”，房子的奴隶，mortgage slave。
如果你有一个房子出租，那你就是房东。租你的房子的人就是你的租客，或者房客。 
还有一些跟房子有关的词语。病房：生病住院的时候住的房间。例如：她是5号病房的护士。药房：在医院里面拿药的地方。例如：缴费后我去药房取药。厂房：生产产品的地方。 例如：这座厂房的面积是两千平方米。
你还知道哪些词？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

The Adventures of Odyssea: Ch 7.3 - Ithaca

Some animals have been known to use tools such as sticks, rocks and even bait to hunt for food. And humpback whales have been found using their own unique tool to hunt — bubbles.

A study published in Royal Society Open Science in August observed the hunting behaviors of more than 70 humpback whales in Stephens Passage in southeast Alaska, documenting how the whales blow bubbles to catch more prey.

Humpback whales hunt for krill — small, shrimp-like creatures that are around the same size as a paperclip, and which swim in swarms.

Whales can take in large amounts of krill in one mouthful. And to make this easier, humpback whales trap swarms of krill in "bubble nets" before feeding on them.

The whales create these "nets" by releasing air from their blowhole as they swim in circles below the surface of the water. The bubbles rise in a spiral pattern, which, from above the water's surface, looks more like artwork than a tool for hunting.

The rising bubbles create "curtains" of air around the krill that they are reluctant to swim through, although researchers aren't yet sure why this is. The whales then swim up through the "net" with an open mouth to eat the trapped krill.

The study data showed that as a whale swam in tighter circles and the "net" got smaller, the krill caught inside became, on average, more than seven times denser. This allowed the whales to catch more krill in a single mouthful.

A whale doesn't have to move very fast to create a net or eat trapped krill, allowing it to get more food without using any more energy.

While not many other animals create their own tools to catch prey like the humpback whale, there are examples of animals using other tools to hunt.

For example, chimpanzees have been observed using sticks to dig for bugs, while sea otters use rocks to open mussels. Certain species of heron have even been found to use food as bait to attract fish.
