大家好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，最近火爆的电视剧《苍兰诀》你看了吗？剧里边儿有句台词关于东方青苍：

                        他骨子里仍旧是一个十恶不赦的坏人
                        但唯独在这个什么都不记得的人面前
                                         他想变得好一些
                                              ---《苍兰诀》/<Love Between Fairy and Devil>

He is still an unforgivable villain in his bones, but he wants to be better in front of this person who doesn't remember anything.

骨子里gǔzilǐ：内心 in one’s bones, in one’s heart of hearts 
仍旧 réngjiù：仍然, 还是 still

十恶不赦[shí è bú shè]: 赦意思是赦免[shè miǎn]remit(a punishment), pardon 
十恶不赦是形容犯了重大的罪行，而不能被饶恕。
perpetrate every conceivable crime and be unpardonably wicked; a crime which is past forgiving

唯独[wéi dú]：单单,只only
在……面前[zài … … miàn qián]：in face of, in front of

07. 他想变得好一些He wants to be better.---《苍兰诀》

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.

Lily's Chinese 对话

20240227高尔基致罗曼罗兰的信

¡Fierro! Es momento de hablar un poquito acerca del norte de México, en específico Baja California Sur y sus alrededores.
En este episodio hablamos acerca de la vida y las costumbres de La Paz, Baja California Sur, un lugar que sorprenderá a más de uno con todo lo que oculta, lugares y playas inimaginables. Además, conocerás sobre la costumbre que tenemos los mexicanos de tronar cuetes en cualquier tipo de evento importante, y sobre todo, aprenderás nuevas expresiones en español que harán que suenes como si fueras un hispanohablante al 100%.
Acompáñame a mí y a Yaneth a descubrir más sobre este lugar, el lugar en el que ella vive, cómo es la vida por allá y qué paraísos oculta este sitio, estoy seguro de que después de oír el podcast querrás venir aquí e incluso visitar a Yaneth.

Es De Verdad

T1 E4 - Playas, vida y cuetes en el norte de México (Baja California Sur)

东汉时期，有个叫乐羊子的人，他有一位非常贤惠的妻子。

乐羊子到远方去求学，一年后，乐羊子回来了。
妻子问他为何这么快回家,他说:“出门时间一长就想家，没有什么别的原因。"

妻子听完拿起一把刀走到织布机前，说:“这织布机上的蚕丝一根一根地积累起来,才有一寸长; 一寸寸积累起来,才有一丈乃至一匹长。今天如果我将它割断，就会前功尽弃。

读书也是如此，你积累学问，应该每天获得新的知识，从而使自己的品行更加完美。
如果半途而废，和割断的丝有什么不同呢?"

乐羊子从妻子的话里得到很大启发，于是又继续去完成学业，整整七年没有回家。

成语“半途而废”指的就是事情没有完成而终止, 事情还没有做完就放弃了。
 
**在这儿我给大家解释一下，故事里提到的一寸是0.033米，一丈是3.33米，一匹是大概33米。


贤惠 xiánhuì virtuous
织布机 zhī bù jī  loom, knitting machine
蚕丝 cánsī  natural silk
割断 gē duàn sever ; cut off
前功尽弃 qián gōng jìn qì  waste all the previous efforts
品行pǐn xíng  conduct; behaviour
启发qǐ fā  inspire
终止 zhōng zhǐ terminate, termination


举例：
1.这项工作一定要坚持完成，绝不能半途而废。
2.就快到山顶了，大家继续坚持，千万不要半途而废啊！
