Level A1 (Italian) - What to study

یک روز باد و خورشید سر اینکه کدامشان قویتر است باهم بحث میکردند. آخر سر تصمیم گرفتند باهم مسابقه بدهند تا ببینند کدام قوی تر است.

مردی داشت از آن حوالی رد میشد خورشید گفت: "بیا ببینیم کدام از یک ما میتواند کت این مرد را از تنش دربیاورد؟"

باد قبول کرد. اول قرار شد باد امتحان کند.

باد همه ی قدرتش را جمع کرد و وزید و وزید و وزید. اما مرد نه تنها کتش را درنیاورد، بلکه کتش را بیشتر به خودش پیچید.

بعد نوبت خورشید شد.

قدرتش را جمع کرد و شروع کردن به تابیدن.

خورشید انقدر تابید و آفتاب را پهن کرد روی زمین، تا مرد گرمش شد و کتش را درآورد.

خورشید در مسابقه برنده شد.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊跟“吃”有关的一些有意思的说法。
吃我们都知道是“eat”的意思，吃饭，吃东西，吃药。你可能听过“我今天中午吃食堂”，这里指的是“在食堂吃午饭”。“小吃”就是snack，street food，比较简单的菜。“大吃大喝”，指的是“吃很多”，例如：春节期间，很多人每天都是大吃大喝。
这些词都跟吃东西有关，还有一些词不是真的吃东西。我们来看看。
【吃苦】苦是bitter的意思，例如“这杯咖啡很苦。”还有一个意思是“suffering，pain”。所以“吃苦”的意思就是“have a rough time”。例如“因为家里穷，他小时候吃了很多苦。”还有一个意思是”endure hardship“，例如“现在的年轻人生活条件太好了，很多都不能吃苦。”
【吃亏】亏是损失，loss，吃亏就是“suffer losses”。例如：不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。意思是：如果不听老人的建议，就会吃亏，会有不好的结果。
【吃瓜】吃瓜是一个网络流行语，这里的瓜是我们吃的“瓜子，sunflower seeds”。在戏院看戏的时候，边看边吃瓜子。后来“吃瓜”这个词用来表示发生什么八卦事件的时候，大家围观、八卦的状态。这些网友我们叫做“吃瓜群众”，而“瓜”则表示某个热点八卦事件。
【吃狗粮】狗粮本来的意思是狗吃的食物。在中文里面，我们经常开玩笑把单身的人叫做“单身狗”。一对情侣如果在一个单身狗面前表现得很甜蜜，我们叫做“秀恩爱”，也叫“撒狗粮”。意思是单身狗看到情侣这么甜蜜，很生气，气得吃不下饭或者气饱了。单身狗看到情侣这样甜蜜，就叫“吃狗粮”。
你还知道哪些“吃”的有意思的用法吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

【程门立雪】讲的是尊师重教的故事。
程颐yi2
程颢hao4

      北宋时福建将东县有个叫杨时的进士，特别喜好钻研学问，到处寻师访友，曾就学于洛阳著名学者程颢门下。程颢去世前，将杨时推荐到其弟程颐门下，在洛阳伊川所建的伊川书院中求学。杨时那时已四十多岁，学问也相当高，但他仍谦虚谨慎，尊师敬友，深得程颐的喜爱，被程颐视为得意门生，得其真传。一天，杨时向程颐请求学问，不巧赶上老师正在屋中打盹儿。杨时静待门口，等老师醒来。一会儿，天飘起鹅毛大雪，直到程颐一觉醒来。程颐深受感动，更加尽心尽力教杨时，杨时不负众望，终于学到了老师的全部学问。之后，杨时回到南方传播程氏理学，且形成独家学派，世称“龟山先生”。后人便用“程门立雪”这个典故，来赞扬求学师门，诚心专志，尊师重道的学子。
