听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天我们来聊聊养生这个话题。养生是什么意思呢？词典说，养生就是摄养身心以长寿。这本来来自于传统中医的概念，如今在中国的年轻人中也是个热词。这是为什么？因为现在城市里的年轻人有很多的娱乐和诱惑，许多人喜欢享受夜生活，吃夜宵，泡酒吧，撸串烧烤等等。中国城市里极大的物质丰富的夜生活，让人目不暇接。

奶茶、汽水，炸鸡，蛋糕。这些美食不仅让人长胖，还会带来很多的健康问题。这些都使很多二三十岁的年轻人的身体状态亮起了红灯。看着出了问题的体检报告，原来大部分问题，都是生活方式的问题。于是，传统中医开始悄悄进入年轻一代的视野。保温杯里泡上枸杞，冬天来点儿红糖姜枣茶，夏天来点儿菊花茶，掉头发吃黑芝麻丸……各种养生小技能让年轻朋友们纷纷效仿。

其实，养生是一个历史悠久的大话题，属于中国传统医学。中医讲究药食同源，很多食物对人身体是有类似药物的作用的。许多食材用来泡水、煮粥、煲汤，各种功效纷繁复杂，但是也非常有意思。比如现在是冬天，如果你感觉身体总是冷，可以多吃热性食物，比如羊肉、生姜和红枣。

好了，感谢你的收听，希望你喜欢。我们下次再见。

TASK 22 - THE RICH DON’T PAY THEIR TAXES

The Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened some of its galleries to the public, as part of a trial run ahead of the still-unannounced official opening.

The museum, a mega-project near the Giza Pyramids, which has cost well over $1 billion so far, has opened 12 halls featuring ancient Egyptian exhibits.

Up to 4,000 people have been able to visit each day since the middle of October.

The museum has been under construction for more than a decade, but the official opening has been delayed for various reasons, including the coronavirus pandemic and political problems.

The idea, which was first announced in the early 1990s, was to collect ancient artifacts from around the country in one place.

The government wanted the new museum to be outside of Cairo, the busy capital city, to make it easier to get to.

Some sections have been open since 2022 for limited tours, to test the visitor experience and the museum's preparedness.

More than 100,000 of Egypt's ancient treasures will be displayed in the world's largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.

The grand staircase — six stories high and with a view of the pyramids — and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues.

Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.

All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan from the museum.

One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.

Some of the first tourists to visit said they were impressed by the museum, which Zidan called "a gift to all the world."

He said: "The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history."

Portuguese/English false friends (3)

In Chinese, there are a lot of ways to say washroom. Like ‘洗手间、厕所、卫生间’and so on. The ones Crystal often used are ‘洗手间’and ’卫生间’.‘洗手间(xi3 shou3 jian1)’ is like washroom in English, literally meaning ‘the room to wash hands’.’卫生间(wei4 sheng1 jian1)’’s literal meaning is hygiene room. The usage of these two is almost equally as frequent. The other one is ‘厕所(ce4 suo3)’, like the toilet in English. But I don't use it so often, to girls it's coarse.

OK, let's learn this Chinese together! ‘Excuse me, Where's the washroom?’-“请问，洗手间在哪儿？”’请问(qǐng wèn)’ is often used when you ask questions to others—for example,  asking for directions, asking the time. It's like Excuse me in English. “洗手间(xǐ shǒu jiān)”means toilet, “洗手间”. In“在哪儿(zài nǎr)”, “在” means ‘at’, “哪儿“means where “在哪儿” is “where is”。 So, “Excuse me, where is washroom” in Chinese is ”请问，洗手间在哪儿(qǐng wèn, xǐ shǒu jiān zài nǎr?)
