Sinead O'Connor: She Bought the Farm (with transcript)

大龙：小咪！你也来学生餐厅吃饭啊？我们一起坐吧？

吴小咪：好啊。对了，还有一个星期就是春节了，这是你们第一次在中国过年，你们有什么打算？

铃美：我还没想好呢。

大龙：我也没什么打算。本来想去旅游，不过我听说有“春运”，人太多了。

吴小咪：没错！对中国人来说，春节是最重要的节日。无论我们在哪，都会赶回家的。既然你们两个没有安排，就去我家吧，怎么样？

铃美：会不会太麻烦你们了？

吴小咪：一点也不麻烦！我的家人都喜欢热闹，人越多，我们越开心。

大龙：我听说中国人过年要吃饺子。

吴小咪：看情况。在北方，大部分人爱吃面食，过年的时候，一家人一起一边包饺子一边聊天。可是在南方，很多人过年的时候不吃饺子。

大龙：原来是这样，我以为所有人都要吃饺子。

吴小咪：每个地方都有自己的习俗，所以年夜饭不太一样。我外婆是广东人，她们过年的时候要吃“盆菜”，就是一盆海鲜。我有个浙江的同学说，她们过年会吃年糕。我的四川朋友，过年之前会准备熏肉和腊肠，好吃得不得了！对了，大部分人都会吃鱼。

铃美：我知道！“鱼”和“余”的读音一样，吃鱼是希望“年年有余”。

吴小咪：是的。

大龙：那你们家过年吃什么？

吴小咪：我们家会做鱼，还有一些海鲜和很多炒菜，也会包饺子。

铃美：你们喝什么？

吴小咪：喝的东西有很多。一般来说，喝白酒比较多，也有的喝红酒，还有的喝果酒或者米酒。不喝酒的人，就喝饮料或者茶。

大龙：我发现不管是哪个国家，节日都和美食有关系。

铃美：这就是节日的重要意义吧！

Master Mandarin Daily : Learn Three Sentences a Day!

Learn Three Sentences a Day: DAY15

生命之河里的石头
所有父母都会伤害孩子，谁都没法避免。孩子就像洁净的玻璃杯，拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。
父母很少会对他们的孩子放手，所以孩子就对父母放手。他们向前走，他们向远处走。
那些曾经让他们感到自身价值的东西——母亲的赞同，父亲的点头——都已经被他们取得的成绩替代。
直到很久以后，当他们的皮肤变得松弛了，心脏变得衰弱了，他们才会明白：他们的故事和他们所有的成就，都是基于父母的经历建立起来的，就像生命之河里的石头，层层叠叠。

学习重点：比喻

“了”的非成句性

An online quiz might tell you that you're more outgoing if you like hip-hop, or that you're more conservative if you like classical music.

But is it true?

A number of studies have looked into this over the years.

For example, a 2010 study from Scotland's Heriot-Watt University asked over 36,000 people about 104 different types of music from around the world.

It found some connection between people's personalities and their musical tastes — in particular, creative people were more likely to enjoy classical music.

However, connections for other personality types weren't so strong. Instead, people's gender, income and age had more connection to their musical taste — with older people more likely to enjoy folk and jazz, and less likely to enjoy dance music, for example.

In fact, when researchers in Germany compared the results of 30 different studies in 2017, they found nearly no connection between musical taste and personality. Instead, they noted that age seemed to be the most important factor — since people tend to have the strongest connection to the music they heard as teens and young adults.

However, these results haven't satisfied everybody.

In 2022, for example, researchers in Israel, the UK and the US looked at data from nearly 360,000 people across six continents. And they said they did find connections between music and personality.

Creative people were again found to prefer classical music — as well as jazz, opera and dance music. Outgoing people preferred things like hip-hop and reggae. And empathetic people preferred country and gospel — as well as pop.

So that's it, right?

Well, not exactly.

Other studies have found different results — for example, that empathetic people prefer gentle music like soft rock and R&B, or that outgoing people enjoy folk and country.

So what does your taste in music say about you?

Well, it depends on which study you trust — and it might just tell people how old you are!
