Episodio 5: Quiero vivir (I want to live)

       “桥” 以前写作“橋”，木字旁说明古时桥梁的建造材料多为木材。“喬”表示高大或高出高过。桥最初是指将一根木头架在沟壑或溪流上的通道。
       后来桥又引申出了更丰富的内涵，成为一种与文化相关的符号。
       我国神话传说中有一座由喜鹊搭成的桥——鹊桥，传说牛郎和织女真挚的爱情故事感动了鸟神，每年七月初七这天，喜鹊们便在银河上用身体搭桥，以此让牛郎和织女顺利相会。
       民间传说中还有一座神秘的桥——奈何桥。奈何奈何，无可奈何。人们希望有一座桥能连接生和死，便想象有一座奈何桥是人死后的必经之路。
      “桥”还是连接与沟通的象征。比如，书本是一座桥，带着我们走进知识的大门； 自信是一座桥，引领我们走向成功的彼岸。

SERBIAN TO GO

Петар из Новог Сада – Petar iz Novog Sada (A1 level)

JOHN: Hi, Alice, it’s John. How are you? 
ALICE: Oh, hi, John! I was just thinking about you.
JOHN: That’s nice. I was wondering if you’d like to go to a 
movie tonight.
ALICE: Sure, I’d love to! What’s playing?
JOHN: I was thinking about that new comedy Lights Out. What do
you think?
ALICE: Sounds great!
JOHN: OK, I’ll pick you up around 7:30. The movie starts at 8:00.
ALICE: See you then. Bye!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, Alice, it’s John: Hi, ____, it’s ____ is a casual and friendly way to say hello on the 
phone. Although “it’s” means “it is,” it is used to mean “I am” here.
• Oh, hi, John! Notice the rising intonation here. Alice is excited to hear from John and is 
very pleased that he called her.
• I was wondering if you’d like to ... This is a polite and indirect way of asking “Do you 
want to …?” John is nervous and does not want to appear too direct or bold. Notice 
how the question goes up at the end, which shows that he is not overly confident.
• Sure! I’d love to means “Yes, I would love to.” Notice that Alice is very enthusiastic 
and friendly. She wants John to feel comfortable about asking her out on a date.
• I was thinking about … / What do you think? Again, John does not want to appear 
too bold. He wants to give Alice a chance to suggest a movie.
• Sounds great! Is an informal way of saying “That is a good plan.”
• I’ll pick you up is an informal way of saying “I’ll come to your house so that we can 
go together.”
