Lily's Chinese 对话

20240113凡卡

Рассказываю, как приготовить популярное и традиционное российское блюдо - селёдка под шубой. Почти в каждой семье на новогоднем столе будет стоять такое блюдо. 
Рецепт простой и приготовить это блюдо сможет практически каждый!


Russian with Nick

#1 Рецепт селёдки под шубой

想念的地图

假如想念是一张地图，打开思念的地图，你也许会发现，不管这张地图有多么复杂，想念的起点也是终点。小孩子想念的是亲人，长大了，想念的是恋人，后来，想念的对象又变成了亲人。人生最初的想念和最后的想念几乎是一样的，无论我们走多远，也是殊途同归。

想念一个人到底是什么滋味？如果可以不要想念一个人，是不是会比较自由？想念一旦展开，我们都是不自由的。当我老了，当一切都结束，远方不再有想念，那时候我会感受到能够想念一个人，也被人想念，这张地图是漂亮的。

学习重点：殊途同归

边听边说 More than Chinese Listening

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene..........
