Youth and beauty is temporary so whether you are working as an influencer or an entertainer, you have to set up money for retirement. I came across an article written by a KPOP fan and the article narrated the life of an entertainer who started at a very young age. 

FLO TALKS 

THE LIFE OF A KPOP IDOL

粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

最近我睇到一篇有趣嘅粤语文章，
读起身琅琅上口，
我觉得好有意思，
所以想分享俾你。

牛耕田, 马食谷, 老窦揾钱仔享福; 
象行田, 马行日, 过河卒仔无退缩; 
兵杀敌, 将闪缩, 功成身退享俸禄; 
男善变, 女易哭, 贫贱夫妻难和睦; 
流水清, 死水浊, 人望高处无满足; 
冰易化, 钱难蓄, 巧妇难煲无米粥; 
水维生, 土长木, 光合作用叶变绿;
赌易学, 书难读, 赌仔何曾买大屋?
命注定, 运难卜, 三衰六旺好难捉; 
仙洒脱, 凡人俗, 犯规和尚食狗肉; 
阳寿尽, 落阴谷, 生老病死乃定局。
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
咪再成日困在屋，儿孙自有儿孙福。

呢段话真系几有道理㗎，
呢段话我最中意嘅一句话系，
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
人应该学识及时行乐，
而且应该学识知足，
知足系一种对健康生活特别有益嘅感觉，
知足并唔系叫人放弃努力，
而且学识欣赏自己已经拥有嘅一切，
学识看见拥有嘅嘢嘅珍贵性。

粤读时光，看见生活中嘅光。

Let's read a poem

Today, we’re going to talk about a common and very useful Ukrainian phrase: "Можна, будь ласка?". It’s a polite way to ask for permission or make a request, and it’s something you can use in everyday situations.

First Steps in Ukrainian

Можна, будь ласка? Can I ... , please / May I ... , please

1.	我認為，上帝造人有點過高估計了自己的能力。

（I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.）

2.	永遠原諒敵人，沒有什麼能比這個讓他們更惱火。

（Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.）

3.	我什麼都能抗拒，除了誘惑。

（I can resist everything except temptation.）

4.	為了贏回我的青春，我什麼都願意做，除了鍛煉、早起、做個對社會有用的人。

（To win back my youth, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community.）

5.	年輕的時候，我以為錢是人生最重要的，現在我老了，我懂了，確實如此。

（When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.）

6.	人生中只有一件事比被人議論更糟糕，那就是：無人議論你。

（There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.）

7.	時裝是一種讓人無法忍受的醜陋，所以我們必須每六個月換一次。

（Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.）

8.	我們都在陰溝裏，但有些人在仰望星空。

（"We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". ）

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの18回目です。アメリカではDaylight Saving Timeの時計の切り替えが始まりましたね。時計の針をどちらに進めたらいいかわからなくて、いつも混乱してしまいます。日本にはDaylight Saving Timeはありませんが、レッスンの時間を間違えないように、私は毎年確認しています。そういえば今週、私は35歳になりました。誕生日のメッセージをくれた皆さん、どうもありがとうございます。これからもどうぞよろしくお願いします。

Hello. This is the podcast episode 18. The Daylight Saving Time clock switchover has started in the USA. I always get confused because I don't know which way to move the hands on my watch. We don't have Daylight Saving Time in Japan, but I check mine every year to make sure I don't get my lesson time wrong. Speaking of which, I turned 35 this week. Thank you very much to everyone who sent me birthday messages. I will keep doing my best.

大阪はすっかり暖かくなりました。冬用のジャケットも布団もしまいました。私は最近、部屋の整理をしています。日本では、家電を買うと、ほとんどの場合、保証書がついてきます。「家電」とは、テレビやパソコンなど、家で使う電気製品です。「保証書」とは、家電が使える期間を、メーカーが保証したドキュメントです。保証の期間は、だいたい１年から３年ぐらいです。この期間に家電が使えなくなったときは、店に保証書とレシートを持っていきます。そうすると、新しいものに交換してもらえます。なので、家電を買ったときは、保証書とレシートはすぐに捨ててはいけません。

It is now completely warm in Osaka. I put away my winter jacket and futon. I have recently been reorganising my room. In Japan, when you buy Kaden, it almost always comes with Hoshousho. “Kaden” (home electrical appliances) are electrical goods used in the house, such as televisions and computers. “Hoshousho” (a warranty card) is a document in which the manufacturer guarantees how long the appliance will be usable. The warranty period is usually from one to three years. If the appliance becomes unusable during this period, you can take the Hoshousho and receipt to the shop. They will then replace it with a new one. So when you buy Kaden, do not throw away Hoshousho and receipt immediately.

18. 家電の保証書

한국어에서
“눈이 와요 / 눈이 내려요”,
“비가 와요 / 비가 내려요”처럼
같은 상황인데 다른 표현을 쓰는 이유를 일상 대화를 통해 쉽게 설명하는 에피소드입니다.

교과서에는 잘 나오지 않는 자연스러운 한국어 표현의 차이를 부담 없이 이해할 수 있도록 소개해요.
