Can you guess how long office staff work?

C’était il y a trois ans. C’était un soir, dans une petite ruelle sombre près d’une des grandes gares. Elle se tenait dans l’encadrement d’une porte, sous un lampadaire qui éclairait à peine. Elle avait un visage jeune, très maquillé. C’est le maquillage qui m’a attiré, sa blancheur, comme un masque, et les lèvres rouge vif. Les femmes du Parti ne se maquillent jamais. Il n’y avait personne d’autre dans la rue, et pas de télécran. Elle a dit : deux dollars. Je. . .

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中国美食】的话题。
中国的美食文化有很长的历史，每个地方的美食各有特点。例如，广东菜清淡、鲜美，讲究原汁原味；四川菜则以麻辣的口味著称，具有很强的口感。中国美食有八大菜系，除了广东的粤菜和四川的川菜，还有山东的鲁菜、江苏的苏菜、福建的闽菜、浙江的浙菜、安徽的徽菜和湖南的湘菜。
越来越多的外国人喜欢吃中国菜，在美国的中餐馆就有几万家。你知道吗？有一些在国外很有名的中国菜，其实根本不是中国菜。例如，左宗棠鸡（General Tso's Chicken）、幸运饼（Fortune Cookies）和虾片（Prawn Crackers）。就算是真正的中国菜，在国外的中国餐馆，老板一般会根据外国人的口味做一些改变。
如果你来中国旅游，你应该吃什么中国菜呢？最有名的中国菜应该是北京烤鸭吧，刚出炉的北京烤鸭，外皮香脆，肉却很嫩，让人忍不住想吃。如果你喜欢吃辣的，四川的麻婆豆腐你一定要试一下。麻婆豆腐给人的第一印象就是麻辣，麻来自花椒，辣来自辣椒面。配上一碗大米饭，让不爱吃辣的人都吃到根本停不下来。如果你来到四川，别忘了去吃火锅哦。如果你喜欢吃清淡的美食，欢迎来到广州。广州最有特色的是早茶，一边喝茶一边吃各种各样的点心，虾饺、烧卖、蒸排骨。如果你想挑战一下，可以试试蒸凤爪。很多外国人觉得吃鸡的爪子很奇怪，但是相信我，真的很好吃。
你最喜欢的中国菜是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

En el episodio de hoy hablamos de galicismos, que son palabras que usamos en español que tiene su origen en el francés. No vivimos en un mundo aislado y es inevitable que unas lenguas influyan en otras. España y Francia son países vecinos y ambos tienen lenguas romances lo que facilita la trasferencia de terminos. Hoy vamos a comentar el origen interesante de algunos de estos galicismos y también vamos a ver algunas palabras del día usadas en español y que vienen del país vecino.

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes el episodio, si lo haces, ¡no te olvides de dejarle una valoración!
