This podcast offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and using idioms, focusing on their characteristics, usage, and relationship with other figures of speech.   It distinguishes between idioms, metaphors, and similes, noting that while metaphors involve a direct or implied comparison and similes use "like" or "as," pure idioms are opaque and non-comparative, acting as traditional, fixed phrases that must be memorised. Overall, this episode serves as educational material explaining the nuances and classifications necessary for accurate comprehension of these linguistic components.

Lily's Chinese 对话

20240208毛泽东自传节选

Generally interchangeable.
高兴 is more general and can be used to describe a wide range of happy or positive emotions, while 开心 is more specifically used to describe a feeling of joy or delight. In general, both words can be used interchangeably to describe happiness, but 开心 tends to be used in more informal or   contexts, while 高兴 is more commonly used in formal or polite settings.

はい、こんにちは。今回は、ポッドキャストの14回目です。私は一昨日の夜、久しぶりにカレーを作りました。前回にもお話ししたように、私は普段、カレーを食べる時は近所のインド料理レストランでテイクアウトをしています。最近、コロナウイルスの影響で、このレストランが午後の4時までしか開いていないので、夕飯が買えません。なので一昨日は自分で作ることにしました。

Hello. This is the podcast episode 14. I made curry the night before last, for the first time in a long time. As I told you last time, when I eat curry, I usually get takeout from an Indian restaurant in my neighborhood. Lately, due to the coronavirus, this restaurant is only open until four in the afternoon, so I can't buy dinner. So the day before yesterday I decided to make it myself.

材料は、人参と、玉ねぎと、じゃがいもと、牛肉と、カレールーで、カレールーというのはスパイスや、スープの素を固めたものです。野菜を炒めて、煮て、水を入れて、カレールーを入れると、カレーが完成します。ものすごく久しぶりに、自分でカレーを作りました。作り方は間違っていなかったはずなんですけど、このカレーはすごくまずかったです。

The ingredients are carrots, onions, potatoes, beef, and curry roux, which is a hardened mixture of spices and soup stock. Stir-fry the vegetables, boil, add water, and add the curry roux, and the curry is ready. It has been a very long time since I made curry by myself. I'm sure I made it right, but this curry was really bad.

私は子供の時、カレールーで作るカレーをすごく美味しいと思っていました。でも最近は、レストランのカレーばかり食べています。やっぱりレストランのカレーと比べると、カレールーで作るカレーは味が薄くて美味しくないですね。そして調べてみたら、スパイスから作るカレーは、そんなに材料が高くないし、作り方も簡単なことを発見しました。だから今度挑戦してみたいと思います。

When I was a child, I used to think that curry made with curry roux was very tasty. But recently, I have been eating only restaurant curry. Compared to restaurant curry, curry made with curry roux has a thinner taste and is not as tasty. Then I did some research and found out that curry made from spices is not that expensive and easy to make. So I'd like to try it next time.
