Culture To Grow

Episode 20: Exploring American Made Dishes Often Mistaken for International

Transcripción del episodio : 
¿«POR QUÉ» o «PARA QUÉ», cuál es la diferencia? En español hay diferencias entre «por qué» y «para que». ¿Tú sabes cuáles son? ¡Ahora te las explico!

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre «POR QUÉ» y «PARA QUÉ» en español?
Bueno, pues, la diferencia depende de la preposición que yo utilice.

«Por» es una preposición que indica la causa.

«Para» indica la finalidad.

Por eso si yo te pregunto: «¿Por qué estás tan enfadado hoy?»

Te estoy preguntando por la causa, el motivo de tu enfado, pero si yo te pregunto:

«¿Para qué necesitas mi vestido rojo?»

Te estoy preguntando por la finalidad, quiero saber la finalidad que le darás a mi vestido rojo.

- Vingt-cinq noisettes, s'il te plaît! demande Pierre l'écureuil à voix basse.
Emma Lapin sourit gentiment; elle sait que Pierre est un écureuil distrait qui oublie toujours où il a dissimulé ses provisions pour l'hiver.
La petite boutique d’Emma Lapin ne désemplit jamais; les animaux de Vertecampagne et de Petitbois s'y pressent du matin jusqu'au soir.
Il est vrai qu'Emma est particulièrement attentionnée et que les rayons de son magasin sont garnis des marchandises les plus attrayantes:
... des livres savants dont raffolent monsieur Hibou et ses élèves,
... des ampoules de rechange pour les lucioles,
... de croustillantes feuilles de salade pour les escargots gourmands,
... des baies rouges et juteuses pour les merles,
... du miel de première qualité pour les abeilles,
... du nectar de nénuphar pour les libellules,
... des bonnets de nuit pour les taupes,
... des fleurs artificielles pour décorer terriers et nids durant la mauvaise saison,
... des réveille-matin pour les loirs…
Le secret de la réussite d’Emma est qu’il n’est jamais question d’argent entre ses clients et elle. Tout se paie avec des sourires, des bisous, des plaisanteries ou des compliments. Rien d'étonnant que son commerce soit si florissant...

课文十 《大还是小》

有时候，我觉得自己很大。
我自己穿衣服的时候，我自己系鞋带的时候，我觉得自己很大。
有时候，我觉得自己很小。
我够不到按钮的时候，我听到雷声喊妈妈的时候，我觉得自己很小。
有时候，我希望自己不要长大。
更多的时候，我盼着自己快点儿长大。

课文十：大还是小 big or small

Sit Less, Move More, Live Longer, Says Study
As a new year begins, many of us have been making plans for the months ahead — things we want to do, places we want to go, and parts of our lives we want to change.

And one study from 2022 has some simple advice to share that we might be able to use in 2023: sit less, move more.

Okay, so it's not a new message, but the researchers found that the results of their large study provide more evidence that long periods of sitting are bad for our health.

This is true across the world, but especially in lower-income countries, they said.

The researchers followed more than 105,000 adults — aged between 35 and 70 — for an average of around 11 years.

They looked at how much time the participants — who were from 21 different countries — spent sitting down each day.

And they also wanted to know about their health as the years passed. In total, there were more than 6,200 deaths and almost 5,700 cases of serious heart problems during the study.

Using this information, the researchers found that people who said they sat for eight or more hours per day were at a much higher risk of early death or serious heart disease.

These people were increasing their risk by as much as 20%, according to the researchers, but they added that doing exercise could help reduce these risks.

Scott Lear, who was one of the study's authors, said: "It's a global problem that has a remarkably simple fix. Scheduling time to get out of that chair is a great start."

American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald once said the "worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to."

Many of us will have experienced this at some point — lying in bed for what feels like hours, trying to fall asleep. But what if there was a way to fall asleep in just five minutes?

Of course, some people take longer to fall asleep than others do. But experts say there are different things we can do to help us fall asleep quicker.

Here are some of them:

Morning light is important
It might sound strange, but according to sleep scientist Russell Foster, getting a good night's sleep starts in the morning. Speaking with The Telegraph, he said it's important to get as much natural light as early as possible.

This can help move our body clock to an earlier time, so that we already feel tired when we get into bed later on.

Don't nap after 4 p.m.
If you've had a long day at work, you may be tempted to have a nap in the afternoon. And while short naps can help us feel less tired during the day, Foster says we shouldn't nap for longer than 20 minutes or less than six hours before going to bed, or we might have difficulty falling asleep later.

Practice mindfulness
"Most people don't have a sleep problem, they have an anxiety problem," Foster says, and he recommends practicing mindfulness as a way to relax before bed.

This means being present with our thoughts, instead of thinking about things that have happened or could happen. You could try reading or doing some breathing exercises as a way to relax, and avoid using your phone.

He adds that important conversations should be saved for when it's light outside, as they could keep your mind active and stop you from falling asleep quickly.
