今天我们将探讨中文中与食物有关的一些有趣表达，这些表达不仅有趣，还揭示了中国文化中的一些有趣的思考方式：吃土、吃醋、吃软饭、吃豆腐、画饼充饥、打个巴掌给个甜枣。让我们一一来看看它们的意思吧！

这些食物表达其实跟食物没关系！

Have thought about only focusing on what's essential? Does it seem to you as a good strategy to save time and achieve the skills that you need the most?

In this episode, I talk about both the benefits and drawbacks of essentialism as an approach to learning a language.


Rethinking Language Learning

Essentialism 

大家好，我是Honglin老师，欢迎来到我的汉字频道。
这是我的第三条推送。今天要和你们分享的是“目“字，目标的”目“，题目的”目“。

“目“，是一个象形字。指的是我们的眼睛。最开始的”目“字，就是一只眼睛的样子，非常像，中间还有圆圆的眼球。后来中国人把这只眼睛换了一个方向，把它往左边90度转了一下，把它竖了起来，就慢慢变成我们今天的，竖着的“目”了。目也是一个偏旁，表示和眼睛或者看见这个动作有关系。比如，“眼睛”，两个字都有“目”字旁。又比如，睡觉的“睡”，因为要闭上眼睛，所以也是用的“目”字旁。是不是很有意思呢？

那含有“目”字的词语很多，尤其是成语，今天就给大家分享一个成语，叫“目不转睛”。睛是“眼睛”的“睛”，指的是我们眼睛中间的眼球，眼珠。那“目不转睛”，眼睛里的眼球都不转了，大家猜猜是什么意思。我停顿两秒，大家想想啊。猜出来了吗，连眼球都不动地盯着看，那就是你的注意力全部都在一件东西上，非常专心地看着。比如，这部电视剧太精彩了，他简直看得目不转睛。

这就是“目不转睛”，指专心地看着。

子供の狐は、町の灯を めあてに雪あかりの野原を
よちよちやっていきました。
はじめのうちは一つきりだった灯が二つになり
三つになり、はては十にも ふえました。
狐の子供はそれを見て、灯には星と同じように、
赤いのや黄いのや青いのがあるんだなと思いました。
やがて町に はいりましたが 通りの家々は もうみんな
戸を閉めてしまって、高い窓から暖かそうな光が、
道の雪の上に落ちているばかりでした。
けれど表の看板の上には たいてい小さな電燈が
ともっていましたので、狐の子は、それを見ながら、
帽子屋を探していきました。
