SWE 68  (中英播客）How I learn foreign languages - listening to podcasts

In today's episode, we learn why it's wrong to say that the food was 'very delicious', or that the weather was 'very freezing'. The reason is all to do with the fact that some adjectives are GRADABLE - we can make them stronger or weaker by using intensifiers such as 'very' or 'fairly', for example 'she's very pretty' or 'the weather is very hot'. But other adjectives are UNGRADABLE, which means that they're already at the very top (e.g., 'amazing') or the very bottom (e.g., terrible). But how do we stress these adjectives, if we can't use 'very'? Learn how in today's podcast, and manage to avoid one of the most common mistakes made by students of English.

La culpa es de la vaca" ilustra la externalización de la culpa. Un investigador encuestó almacenes en Colombia sobre productos de cuero: precios altos y baja calidad. Los fabricantes culparon a las curtiembres por aranceles. Las curtiembres a los mataderos por mala calidad de cueros. Los mataderos a los ganaderos por poco uso de venenos y marcas en las reses. Los ganaderos a las vacas por restregarse en alambres. Conclusión: ¡las vacas son estúpidas! Esta historia, resumida por Fernando Cepeda en El Tiempo, se basa en investigación del libro "Changing the Mind of a Nation" (Harrison & Huntington), cap. de Michael Fairbanks. © 2002 Jaime Lopera G. y Martha Inés Bernal T.
