Dynamic English is about speaking confidently with a growth mindset and mastering the subtle and sometimes unspoken cultural rules about what to say, when to say it at work, and expressions to avoid.

Dynamic English

Self introduction!  

Hello to all of you! I’m Ann, and I was born in a town in Iloilo, about 30 kilometers away from the city. Our home was surrounded by a small coffee plantation, with trees like mango, coconut, cacao, and many other tropical or native fruits — it really felt like paradise! We also had plenty of animals around — chickens, geese, ducks, goats, pigs, cows, and even a carabao — and a small rice field. That was my childhood — simple, yet full of joy and natural beauty.

Now, I carry those memories and stories with me here on the podcast Ma-HILIGAYNON Ta!

I still clearly remember how we used to walk about 3 kilometers just to get to school when my siblings and I were in elementary. It was only when I got to high school that we moved closer to the highway. During the rainy season, we’d walk barefoot through rice paddies and small streams, carrying our school shoes and supplies. We would wash our muddy feet in a little stream beside the road before waiting for our favorite tricycle driver to pass by and take us to school.

You know, it’s only now that I realize how tough that was — but back then, it all felt like fun. I never even thought of it as difficult, especially for young schoolgirls like me.

We had a very loyal dog — his name was Burgo. He looked like he came from a police breed, maybe part German Shepherd mixed with a native dog. He was a gift from my grandfather. He was my companion through every silly adventure and farm chore.

Want to hear more of my stories? Just follow my podcast! Let’s keep talking — see you in Ma-HILIGAYNON Ta! This is Ann — padayon lang, abyan (keep going, friend).

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。
