Episodio #7. Frutas Exóticas en México

Сегодня я выбрала известный роман “12 стульев” двух советских писателей - Ильи Ильфа и Евгения Петрова. Без сомнения, данная книга содержится в культурном коде любого русского человека, все знают цитаты и диалоги из нее, а особенно из фильмов, которые были сняты по этому произведению.

Но выбранный отрывок интересен еще и тем, что из него вы узнаете 7 разных фраз и слов, которые означают одно - человек умер. Богатство русского языка на ярком примере, так сказать.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: ца́рствие небе́сное - the Kingdom of Heaven; согласи́ться - выразить, подтвердить своё согласие - to agree; преста́виться - умереть - to die, pass away; отда́ть бо́гу ду́шу (to give your soul to God) - умереть - to die, pass away; смотря́ кака́я - it depends on what; в те́ле - упитанный, толстый - well-fed, fat; покрупне́е - bigger; похуде́е - thinner, skinny; счита́ться - слыть, быть известным в качестве кого-нибудь - to consider, known as; ви́дный - (разг.) значительный, известный, рослый, статный - prominent, conspicuous, distinguished; возвы́шенный - высокий - high; е́жели - если - if; не дай бог - God forbid; помере́ть - умереть - to die, pass away; сыгра́ть в я́щик (kick the bucket) - умереть - to die, pass away; торго́вый - trade, commercial, merchant; бы́вшей купе́ческой ги́льдии - former merchant guild; приказа́ть до́лго жить - умереть - to die, pass away; чин - служебный разряд у военных и гражданских служащих - rank; дво́рник - janitor, wiper; крестья́нин - peasant; переки́нуться - умереть - to die, pass away; но́ги протяну́ть (stretch your legs) - умереть - to die, pass away; могу́чий - мощный, сильный - powerful; железнодоро́жный конду́ктор - railway conductor; нача́льство - brass, authority; дать ду́ба - умереть - to die, pass away.

The Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened some of its galleries to the public, as part of a trial run ahead of the still-unannounced official opening.

The museum, a mega-project near the Giza Pyramids, which has cost well over $1 billion so far, has opened 12 halls featuring ancient Egyptian exhibits.

Up to 4,000 people have been able to visit each day since the middle of October.

The museum has been under construction for more than a decade, but the official opening has been delayed for various reasons, including the coronavirus pandemic and political problems.

The idea, which was first announced in the early 1990s, was to collect ancient artifacts from around the country in one place.

The government wanted the new museum to be outside of Cairo, the busy capital city, to make it easier to get to.

Some sections have been open since 2022 for limited tours, to test the visitor experience and the museum's preparedness.

More than 100,000 of Egypt's ancient treasures will be displayed in the world's largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.

The grand staircase — six stories high and with a view of the pyramids — and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues.

Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.

All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan from the museum.

One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.

Some of the first tourists to visit said they were impressed by the museum, which Zidan called "a gift to all the world."

He said: "The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history."

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天是9月29号，农历八月十五号中秋节。今年中秋节和国庆节离得很近，所以今天开始全国放8天假。因为出行的人很多，塞车很严重。即使要花十几个小时甚至更长的时间才能回到家，还是有千千万万的人选择回家过中秋节。为什么中秋节对中国人来说这么重要呢？
中秋节对于中国人来说，最大的意义就是团圆。从唐朝开始，人们就把天上的月圆和人间的团圆联系在一起了。离家在外的人举头望月，思念的是故乡和亲友。中国人重视亲情，阖家团圆便是最好的期盼。每逢中秋来临，中国960万平方公里的大地上，便有无数人奔走起来。他们有个共同的目标，回家。
回家路千千万万，有的回家路横穿中国，从上海到喀什，跨越三个时区，行程一万里。有的回家路沿着城市和乡村，用草原河流呼唤漂泊的游子。有的回家路随大海延伸，中国3.2万公里的海岸线，是对出海人平安回家的等待。有的回家路则是从四面八方，天南海北聚在一起，把他乡变成故乡。
虽然今天人们可以隔着屏幕相连，但与家人的相见，永远是心灵深处的渴望。同一屋檐下共赏明月，幸福平淡也绵长。
月亮，为什么大家都喜欢你？这个中秋，你回家了吗？中秋节快乐。让我们回家追月吧。

June：第一个问题，什么是中国式相亲？
Yuli：我觉得这个跟中国的（这个）文化传统、社会背景关系还挺大的，就是到了一定的年纪，父母会觉得你应该结婚了，然后会通过亲戚、通过朋友去帮你介绍一些男生女生给你认识。然后这个前提一般是以结婚为基础的这种。
June：你觉得在中国相亲大概是从多大父母会开始给你介绍对象？
Yuli：我自己的经验是，我们一般是读书的时候，父母说不能早恋，不可以谈恋爱，但是你一毕业开始工作他们就觉得你要赶紧找对象，赶紧结婚，所以我自己的经验是毕业22、 23的时候。但是后来我听周围的人说，有的人是从还在读大学的时候开始，可能父母家里已经开始安排相亲了，感觉这个趋势有点越来越早（的感觉）。
June：我自己也是从大学毕业后工作了一年吧，才开始相亲的。周围的很多朋友，他们也差不多是在大学毕业之后开始相亲。然后很多都是通过相亲、结婚，现在都已经有了自己的小宝宝了。
Yuli：我蛮多朋友也是，如果你本来没有谈恋爱的对象的话，基本上都是回老家以后，开始工作以后周围的人帮你介绍对象相亲，然后结婚生小孩。
