The success of another woman is NOT a threat to your crown. In recent months, I have experienced women calling me names and giving snide remarks against me. What more, I have seen it being done to other women. When you are pursuing success as a woman, many are threatened by your presence. "CAT FIGHT is real, not just in real life but also the digital world."

为什么电影院的座椅是红色的？
        当我们有时间想放松一下，就会带着家人来到电影院看一场电影。你是否发现一个问题，电影院的座椅大都是红色的，按理说为了观影效果好，不应该用这么鲜艳的颜色会分散人的注意力。那么电影院的座椅为什么要弄成红色的呢？
        其实弄成红色恰恰是为了观影效果。光线亮的时候，人的眼睛对黄色最敏感，所以黄灯、校车、交通警示牌都用黄色的。光线暗的时候，人的眼睛对绿色最敏感，反而对刺眼的红色不那么敏感。不同颜色与我们眼睛的灵敏度有很大的关系。随着光线变暗，相对其他颜色红色会显得更暗，它是第一个消失在我们视线之中的颜色。
        所以当电影院的影片开场前，所有的灯光关闭后，我们瞬间就看不到红色座椅了，这样就可以更专注地看电影。

CONNIE: Oh! What a beautiful cat. What do you think?
GARY: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
CONNIE: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk 
it every single day? And clean up after it?
GARY: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
CONNIE: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. 
And I don’t really know how to take care of a bird or a fish!
GARY: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.
CONNIE: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk 
about it.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Oh! What a beautiful cat “Oh!” is used to show surprise or excitement. “What a …” is 
an expression that means “I think this is a very …” “What a(n) …” is followed by an 
adjective, which is usually emphasized. Notice the emphasis on “beautiful” here.
• Dogs are more loyal than cats. Two things are being compared here (dogs and 
cats). Notice the structure of the sentences: (noun/s) plus “is/are more” plus 
(adjective) plus “than” plus (noun/s). The nouns and the adjective are content words 
here, so they are all emphasized.
• Every single day Notice that each word here is stressed. The speaker wants to make 
a point, so she emphasizes each word equally. “Every single day” is a lot!
• Good point here means “I agree with you.”
• Take care of This phrase is used with animals, people and things. It can mean 
“watch a child while her parents are away,” “feed and house someone or 
something,” or “make sure things work properly.” (I always take care of my baby 
brother./ I take care of my bird by feeding it and cleaning its cage./ I need to take 
care of the broken sink.)
• Yeah, you’re right. Notice the pronunciation of this expression — the words all 
blend together here. This casual expression is used to agree with someone that you 
know well.
