Nel podcast parlo della descrizione dei paesaggi e alcuni elementi caratteristici della primavera. A livello grammaticale utilizzo il vocabolario della natura: tipi di alberi fioriti, alcune piante ed erbe aromatiche; alcuni uccelli e il cielo. Si parla di alcuni aggettivi sulle emozioni che si percepiscono con la primavera. A livello grammaticale utilizzo il presente dell'indicativo.

[25] V/A기 때문에, N 때문에

Hari ini aku mau cerita sedikit tentang satu budaya di Indonesia, yaitu uang rokok. Mungkin kamu sudah pernah dengar ya? Uang rokok itu sebenarnya seperti tip kecil, tanda terima kasih untuk orang yang sudah membantu kita.
Misalnya, kalau ada tukang AC yang datang memperbaiki AC di rumah, kadang kita kasih sedikit uang tambahan. Nggak banyak, tapi cukup untuk bilang, “makasih ya, sudah bantu.” Dan lucunya, meskipun namanya “uang rokok”, bukan berarti harus dipakai untuk beli rokok.
Tapi ada hal menarik juga. Uang rokok ini bisa bikin suasana berubah. Contohnya, ada seorang kurir yang setiap bulan mengantar paket ke rumah yang sama. Suatu hari, pemilik rumah kasih dia uang rokok sebagai ucapan terima kasih karena selalu datang tepat waktu. Setelah itu, kurirnya jadi makin rajin senyum dan lebih semangat setiap kali datang. Tapi suatu hari, waktu pemilik rumah lupa kasih uang rokok, si kurir tetap sopan dan ramah sih, hanya saja auranya berubah sedikit, dari yang biasanya “100 watt” jadi “50 watt.” 😆
Jadi, memang uang rokok bisa memengaruhi suasana hati atau semangat kerja seseorang. Kadang pelayanan juga bisa terasa beda, tergantung besar atau kecilnya tip yang diterima.
Menurutku, uang rokok itu boleh banget jadi bentuk terima kasih. Tapi idealnya, orang harus tetap bekerja dengan baik karena itu adalah tanggung jawabnya, bukan karena mengharapkan tipnya.
Menurut kamu gimana? Kamu tim kasih uang rokok atau tim nggak kasih?

Terima kasih sudah mendengarkan, sampai jumpa di episode selanjutnya! 😊


Akhir minggu

Uang rokok, jadi semangat atau jadi berharap?

粵語當中很多字有忌諱，我們一起看看有什麼字？
空屋，空和凶同音，所以我們會說吉
舌頭，舌和蝕 同音，所以我們會用脷
通書，書和輸同音，所以我們會用勝
所以記得過年不要買書（輸）要買褲（富）！

空屋？凶屋？

Chinese story
《同学的爱》  The Classmates’ love

在重庆市的一家医院里，有一位女孩儿躺在病床上。她叫小菲，今年十七岁。
There was a little girl lying in bed in a hospital in Chongqing City. She was called Xiao-Fei, aged 17.
二零一二年夏天她还可以在外面跟朋友、同学一起玩儿，但是她现在只能躺在床上，因为二零一二年八月，她发现自己生病了，而且是白血病。
She could still play with friends and classmates outside in the summer of 2012. Now she could only lie in bed, as she found herself sick in August, 2012 and was diagnosed with leukemia.

小菲的高中同学都很难过。为了鼓励她，小菲的高中同学也和她一起做出改变，这让她觉得很多人都在支持她。
Xiao-Fei’s high school classmates all grieved for her. To encourage her, her high school friends also made changes with her to make her feel that many were supporting her.

小菲生病以后，每天都必须早睡早起，锻炼身体。小菲的同学也开始每天早睡早起，锻炼身体。他们让小菲知道，他们正在和她做一样的事。小菲只能喝开水，不能再喝可乐了。小菲的同学也和她一样不再喝可乐。
After getting sick, Xiao-Fei needed to go to bed and get up early to exercise. Her classmates also started to go to bed and get up early. They let Xiao-Fei know that they were doing the same thing. Xiao-Fei could only drink water, but not coke anymore, and her classmates followed suit.

小菲的同学对小菲说：“你不放弃，我们也不会放弃！”
“If you don’t give up, we won’t either,” Xiao-Fei’s classmates told her.

同学们知道小菲需要很多钱治疗，所以大家拿着箱子向路人募捐，最后募到了兩万多元。
Her classmates knew that Xiao-Fei needed lots of money for treatment, so all of them carried boxes to raise money from pedestrians. Eventually, they gathered a total of 20,000.

小菲看到大家这么支持她，她说：“大家这么关心我，我一定会更努力让自己好起来。”
Knowing that all of them were supporting her, Xiao-Fei said: “All of you cared about me so much; I will certainly try my best to get well.”
