سلام من برگشتم با یه پادکست جدید. امروز می‌خوام به شما یک اصطلاح خیلی خیلی پرکاربرد در زبان فارسی یاد بدم "خسته نباشید. 
این اصطلاح در انگلیسی می‌تونه ترجمه بشه به
 "I hope you are not feeling tired" 
اما این اصطلاح دقیقا این معنی رو نداره و ما تو جاهای مختلف ازش استفاده می‌کنیم. امروز من به شما کاربردهای مختلف "خسته نباشید" رومیگم، امیدوارم که کامل مفهومش رو متوجه بشید.  
کاربرد شماره‌ی یک، مثلا وقتی که شما در کلاس هستین و کلاستون تموم میشه و می‌خوایند کلاس رو ترک کنید یا وقتیکه استاد می‌خواد کلاس رو ترک کنه پس شما می‌تونید به استاد بگین "استاد خسته نباشید، خداحافظ".
 کاربرد شماره‌ی دو، مثلا وقتی وارد یک مغازه می شید برای خرید کردن می‌تونین بگین "سلام خسته نباشید" پس همون موقع که وارد مغازه میشید می‌تونید بگید "سلام آقا خسته نباشید" و بعد سوالتون رو بپرسید و..
 کاربرد شماره‌ی سه مثلا وقتی که یک نفر از سر کار برمی‌گرده و خسته است فرض کنید همسر شما از سر کار برمیگرده می‌تونید بهش بگید "خسته نباشی عزیزم" و..
 کاربرد شماره ی چهار، بعضی وقتها ما از این اصطلاح به عنوان طعنه استفاده می‌کنیم فرض کنید دوست شما به شما قول داده یه کاری رو انجام بده و شما به اون زنگ می‌زنید و اون میگه من این کار رو انجام ندادم پس شما می‌تونید بهش بگین "خسته نباشی واقعا!"
 راستی در جواب "خسته نباشید" می‌تونید بگین "سلامت باشین"...  بله اینم از اصطلاح پرکاربرد امروز. امیدوارم ازش خوشتون اومده باشه و وقتی ایران اومدین به خوبی ازش استفاده کنید. تا پادکست بعدی خدانگهدار.

第四个行星是一个实业家的星球。
The fourth planet belonged to a businessman.
这个人忙得不可开交，小王子到来的时候，他甚至连头都没有抬一下。
This man was so much occupiedthat he did not even raise his head at the little prince's arrival.
小王子对他说：“您好。您的烟卷灭了。”
"Good morning," the little prince said to him. "Your cigarette has gone out."
三加二等于五。五加七等于十二。十二加三等于十五。
Three and two make Five. Five and seven make twelve. Twelve and three make Fifteen.
你好。十五加七，二十二。二十二加六，二十八。
Good morning. Fifteen and seven make twenty-two.Twenty-twoand six make twenty-eight.
没有时间去再点着它。
I haven't time to light it again.
二十六加五，三十一。
Twenty-six and Five make thirty-one.
哎哟！一共是五亿一百六十二万二千七百三十一。
Phew! Then that makes Five-hundred-and-one-million,six-hundred-twenty-two-thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one.
“五亿什么呀？”小王子问。
"Five hundred million what?" asked the little prince.
嗯？你还待在这儿那？
Eh? Are you still there?
五亿一百万，我也不知道是什么了。我的工作很多!

Five-hundred-and-one million, I can't stop, I have so much to do!
我是很严肃的。
I am concerned with matters of consequence.
我可是从来也没有功夫去闲聊！二加五得七…
I don't amusemyself with balderdash. Two and Five make seven...
“五亿一百万什么呀？”小王子重复问道。
"Five-hundred-and-one million what?" repeated the little prince,
一旦他提出了一个问题，是从来也不会放弃的。
who neverin his life had let go of a question once he had asked it.
这位实业家抬起头说。
The businessman raised his head.
我住在这个星球上五十四年以来，只被打搅过三次。
During the Fifty-four years that I have inhabited this planet, I have been disturbed only three times.
第一次是二十二年前，不知从哪里跑来了一只金龟子来打搅我。
The First time was twenty-two years ago, when some giddy goose fell from goodness knows where.
它发出一种可怕的噪音，
He made the most frightful noise that resounded all over the place,
使我在一笔帐目中出了四个差错。
and I made four mistakes in my addition.
第二次，在十一年前，是风湿病发作，
因为我缺乏锻炼所致。
我没有功夫闲逛。我可是个严肃的人。
现在…这是第三次！
我计算的结果是五亿一百万…

几百万什么？
这位实业家知道要想安宁是无望的了，就说道：

几百万个小东西，这些小东西有时出现在天空中。

苍蝇吗？
Flies?
不是，是些闪闪发亮的小东西。
Oh, no. Little glittering objects.
是蜜蜂吗？
Bees?
不是，是金黄色的小东西，这些小东西叫那些懒汉们胡思乱想

我是个严肃的人。我没有时间胡思乱想。

        我们经常会说：中国的历史有“上下五千年”。那是从“三皇五帝“开始算起的。We often say that the history of China is " From BC to AD, there are five thousand years of time.". That's from the Three Kings and Five Emperors.
        真正有准确年代记载的，是从公元前2146年的“夏朝”开始，到1911年“清朝”结束，大致经历了18个皇朝。The real accurate chronological records, from the "Xia Dynasty" in 2146 BC to the end of the "Qing Dynasty" in 1911, roughly experienced 18 imperial dynasties.


新鲜事儿（Anecdote）

中国历史上的“北魏”

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.
