大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【和蛋有关的有趣的词】。
首先是跟吃有关的“蛋”。我们最经常吃的是鸡蛋，煎蛋、水煮蛋、蒸蛋和茶叶蛋。还有一些家常菜，例如西红柿炒鸡蛋、韭菜炒蛋、蛋炒饭等等。我们也吃鸭蛋，一般是咸鸭蛋。做法是用盐腌制，可以配粥吃，也可以用来做菜。
你可能听过一些带有“蛋”的词，其实是形容人的。第一个，坏蛋，指很坏的人。例如：他是个大坏蛋，总是欺负人。第二个，笨蛋，指很笨的人。例如：你这个笨蛋，这么简单的题都不会做。第三个，倒霉蛋，指的是运气很不好的人。例如：他真是个倒霉蛋，每次去旅游都下大雨。
我们再来看看其他的词，“完蛋”。猜猜是什么意思？要是失去这个客户，我们公司就完蛋了。如果被老师发现, 我们就完蛋了。这里完蛋的意思是，be finished，be screwed。
还有一个词是“零蛋”。例如：这次考试，他考了个零蛋。意思是他考了0分，因为数字0很像一个蛋。有些家长为了吉利，会在孩子考试那天的早餐给孩子准备一根油条，两个鸡蛋，因为放在一起很像100分。
最后，Don't put all your eggs in one basket，你知道中文怎么说吗？“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”，也可以说“不要孤注一掷。”
你还知道什么和蛋有关的词？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Español coloquial

Me da mal rollo que venga mi exnovio a la fiesta

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.
