Interview with a friend from UK.

1.	我認為，上帝造人有點過高估計了自己的能力。

（I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.）

2.	永遠原諒敵人，沒有什麼能比這個讓他們更惱火。

（Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.）

3.	我什麼都能抗拒，除了誘惑。

（I can resist everything except temptation.）

4.	為了贏回我的青春，我什麼都願意做，除了鍛煉、早起、做個對社會有用的人。

（To win back my youth, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community.）

5.	年輕的時候，我以為錢是人生最重要的，現在我老了，我懂了，確實如此。

（When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.）

6.	人生中只有一件事比被人議論更糟糕，那就是：無人議論你。

（There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.）

7.	時裝是一種讓人無法忍受的醜陋，所以我們必須每六個月換一次。

（Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.）

8.	我們都在陰溝裏，但有些人在仰望星空。

（"We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". ）

En español tenemos muchos verbos. Algunos de estos verbos son muy específicos y los usamos para cosas concretas, son cosas que siempre van asociadas con estos verbos, y que si bien se pueden expresar con un verbo diferente a los nativos nos sonaría un poco extraño.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio y aprendas algo nuevo. Después de escucharlo no te olvides de dejar una valoración en esta plataforma ni de pasarte por mi Instagram para decirme:

-si conocías el uso de estos verbos. 

-si conoces algún otro verbo que expresa algo muy específico.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.
