Dusty's LETS TALK!

To vs. For: What’s the Difference?

In this podcast, we talk about the following ten words:
Souvenir: Derived from the French word "souvenir," meaning "to remember," this word entered English in the late 18th century. It refers to an object or memento that serves as a reminder of a person, place, or event.

Rendezvous: Originating from the French phrase "rendez-vous," which means "meeting" or "appointment," this word entered English in the 16th century. 

Cuisine: Borrowed directly from French, "cuisine" refers to a style or method of cooking, often associated with a particular culture or region. It encompasses the preparation and presentation of food.

Fiancé/Fiancée: These terms come from the French words "fiancé" (masculine) and "fiancée" (feminine), both meaning "engaged." They are used to describe a person who is engaged to be married.

Déjà vu: This widely recognized phrase comes from French, where it literally means "already seen." It refers to the feeling or sensation that one has experienced the present situation before, even though it is new.

Encore: Borrowed from French, "encore" means "again" or "once more." It is often used in the context of a performance to request an additional or repeated act from the performer.

Lingerie: Derived from the French word "lingerie," this term refers to women's underwear and intimate apparel. It encompasses a range of garments, including bras, panties, nightgowns, and robes.

Décor: Also borrowed from French, "décor" denotes the overall style, arrangement, and aesthetics of a space or setting. It refers to the decorative elements used to enhance the ambiance or atmosphere.

Croissant: This word, of French origin, describes a flaky and crescent-shaped pastry. It has become popular worldwide and is often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack item.

Ballet: Originating from French, "ballet" refers to a highly expressive and intricate form of dance. It combines precise movements, graceful gestures, and storytelling to create a visual spectacle.

EN LA ESCUELA HACEMOS MUCHAS ACTIVIDADES. UNAS NOS GUSTAN MÁS
QUE OTRAS. LAS QUE PEOR HACEMOS SON LAS QUE MENOS NOS GUSTAN.
EN ESTA LECTURA VERÁS LO QUE LE SUCEDIÓ A SOFÍA CON LA GIMNASIA.

Antes de comenzar la lectura

1. ¿Qué actividad de las que haces en la semana es la que más te gusta?

2. ¿Cuál es la que menos te gusta?

3. Adivina qué le ocurrió a Sofía con la gimnasia.

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor

A Sofía no se le da muy bien la gimnasia.

-LOS juegos de pelota son los que menos le gustan.

Casi todos los niños de la clase son más altos y más
 fuertes que ella. Y siempre lleva las de perder.

Cada vez que toca el balón, le gritan:

—Eres un desastre, Sofía.

Lo de ser un desastre a Sofía no le gusta nada.

Así que trama algo.

Antes de la clase de gimnasia se acerca a la señora Ana, que
es la profesora, le enseña la pierna, más bien flaca, y le dice:

-No puedo jugar. Me duele aquí.

-¿Te duele mucho? —le pregunta la señora Ana.

Sofía dice que si con la cabeza, la mar de convencida.

—Entonces será mejor que te quedes en el banquillo.

Sofía está encantada de lo bien que le ha salido.

Y desde entonces, a la hora de gimnasia, suele dolerle la pierna.

Pero la señora Ana no se lo ha creído del todo.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【跷二郎腿】的话题。
跷二郎腿，就是坐下来的时候一条腿跷起来放到另外一条腿上面。那么，为什么叫“二郎腿”呢？古代传说里面有一个人物叫做“二郎神”，一些地方的庙里面有二郎神像。二郎神的坐姿就是这样子，所以把这种坐姿叫做“跷二郎腿”。很多人都有跷二郎腿的习惯，这是为什么呢？跷二郎腿好不好呢？我们来听一下吧。
翘二郎腿是很多人都有的习惯。当坐下放松的时候，腿不自觉就翘了起来。这是为什么呢？爱翘二郎腿，不能简单粗暴地用某个科学发现来解释。不过它和身体舒服感、心理状态、习惯等都有一定关系。其实翘二郎腿和葛优瘫一样，是身体本能追求舒服姿势的表现。人是一种喜欢折腾的动物，喜欢不断变换姿势来维持肌肉的张力。翘二郎腿时能放松一条腿的肌肉群，并让腿部和足底肌肉更轻松一点。当人们坐下时，翘二郎腿可以调节中心，感觉做坐起来更稳当。另一方面，跷二郎腿能防女人走光，让男人看上去更有范。夏天穿短裙的女性坐下来后，跷二郎腿的姿势可以有效地防止走光。而颜值高的男性坐下来跷二郎腿，也会显得更有魅力。
但经常跷二郎腿其实会影响到健康，让我们腰酸背痛，并会带来脊柱侧弯的风险。翘二郎腿时，人们难免会将重心偏向一侧，导致盆骨旋转和髋关节紧张。时间一长肌肉力量不平衡，就会带来体态改变等问题。
有谣传说，二郎腿翘多会影响到生殖健康，提早出现退化性关节炎，变成o型腿，导致静脉曲张，高血压。小姐姐在这里郑重地辟谣，这其实并不是翘二郎腿会带来的危害。
那如何翘二郎腿才是正确的，危害小的呢？那就是不要长时间一直翘，翘起来腿麻了都不管不顾，直到天荒地老。腿麻了就换换腿
翘，时间久了就站起来活动活动。毕竟久坐也不利于身体健康。除此之外，只要你自己感受是舒适的，想怎么翘就可以这么翘。
