有点 (yǒudiǎn) and 一点 (yīdiǎn) both translate to "a little" or "slightly" in English. However, they are used slightly differently in Chinese.

有点 (yǒudiǎn) is used to describe a small amount or degree of something. It is often used to describe an adjective or an adjective phrase. For example:

这个电影有点好看 (zhège diànyǐng yǒudiǎn hǎokàn) means "this movie is a little bit good-looking."
这个饭有点辣 (zhège fàn yǒudiǎn là) means "this meal is a little spicy."
一点 (yīdiǎn) is used to describe a small amount or degree of something, but it is often used to describe a noun or a verb. For example:

我想吃一点苹果 (wǒ xiǎng chī yīdiǎn píngguǒ) means "I want to eat a little bit of apples."
我会说一点中文 (wǒ huì shuō yīdiǎn zhōngwén) means "I can speak a little bit of Chinese."
In general, 一点 (yīdiǎn) is more commonly used than 有点 (yǒudiǎn) in Chinese. However, both can be used to describe a small amount or degree of something, and the choice between them depends on the context and the specific word or phrase that they are modifying.

大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第5期播客。
上次和大家聊了“冷”的各种有趣的说法，今天我们来聊一聊“冷”的反义词：“热”。
热是温度高的意思。在我生活的城市广州，夏天的时候气温达到三十多度，真的很热。这里大家要注意一下，如果我们点一杯咖啡，我们可以说：“我要一杯热咖啡”。但是如果我们说这杯咖啡温度太高了，我们一般说：“这杯咖啡太烫了，我待会儿再喝。”“热”还可以做动词：“这个菜冷了，你把它热一热再吃吧。”
热也可以表示一个人的态度。例如，“他是一个很热情的人，经常邀请朋友和同事去他家吃饭。”“他是一个热心的人，经常帮助别人。”
热还可以表示受欢迎。例如，“现在计算机是大学的热门专业”，意思是很多人都想学习计算机。再举一个例子：“最近出现了欧洲旅游热。” 欧洲旅游热，意思是很多人都去欧洲旅游，欧洲旅游很受欢迎。
最后再介绍一个用法，“热点”。大家的手机有一个功能是“个人热点”，可以给别人分享你的网络，这样他们的手机就可以上网了。“热点”还有一个意思是“新闻热点”，也就是大家都在关注的新闻。
你最喜欢“热”的哪一个用法呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

热 Hot 

Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history on January 3 when the 17-year-old Englishman beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy," Littler said after beating van Gerwen. "I can't believe it."

The teenager has also become a sporting sensation. He's an ordinary English teenager who enjoys fast food and video games but has an extraordinary talent for throwing darts.

That talent has earned him fame and fortune. He made $1.28 million in prize money during 2024 and he added another $620,000 to that when he won the 2025 World Championship.

He has become one of the most talked about sports stars in the UK since finishing as the World Championship runner-up in 2024.

According to Google, he was the most searched sportsperson in the UK in December, and the third-most searched celebrity, behind only Donald Trump and Kate Middleton.

Littler's success has also helped bring darts back into the mainstream.

Although Littler is young, he's been working at his game for more than a decade. There are videos of him throwing magnetic darts while still wearing a diaper.

Van Gerwen was previously the youngest world champion in the elite Professional Darts Corporation competition, winning the 2014 final at age 24.

Van Gerwen said losing his record "hurt" but was full of praise for Littler.

"Every 17 years a star gets born," Van Gerwen said, "and he is one of them."

Many were already wondering if Littler can reach Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles. Claiming a first title at age 17 will now supercharge that conversation.
