4. More about Time（关于日期）

从前有一个富人，家里有很多仆人。有一天，他给他们一瓶美酒。一个仆人说：“酒太少了，只够一个人喝，让我们来一场比赛吧。我们每个人都用笔在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好，这瓶酒就让他一个人喝，好不好？”大家都说好。
于是，他们拿起笔，同时在地上画起蛇来。有一个人很快画好了。他看见其他的人还在画着，就说：“你们画得真慢！你们看，我早就画完了！这酒是我的了。”他把酒拿过来，又看了看其他的人，笑着说：“你们还在画呢，那我再给我的蛇画四只脚吧！”
他一边说，一边在画好的蛇上又画了四只脚。可是，还没等他把脚画好，第二个人已经画完了。这个人马上从他手里把酒抢过来，说：“我们比赛画蛇，可是蛇没有脚啊！现在你却给它画上了脚，那还能叫蛇吗？现在我是第一个画完蛇的人了，所以这瓶酒应该是我的！”说完他就开始喝起来。

🎧 Выпуск 57. Интервью об изучении иностранных языков 📚

New York is 3 hours ahead of California,
but it does not make California slow.
Someone graduated at the age of 22,
but waited 5 years before securing a good job!
Someone became a CEO at 25, 
and died at 50.
While another became a CEO at 50,
and lived to 90 years.
Someone is still single,
while someone else got married.
Obama retires at 55,
& Trump starts at 70.
Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.
People around you might seem to go ahead of you,
some might seem to be behind you.
But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME
Don’t envy them or mock them.
They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!
Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.
So, RELAX.
You’re not LATE.
You’re not EARLY.
You are very much ON TIME.

这首诗是我五年前在网上偶然发现的，直至现在仍然备受鼓舞。我是个土生土长的中国人，我的父母也是非常按部就班的中国人，在他们看来我这个年龄就应该结婚生子，而我更享受自由。
最近法国的气温慢慢升高了，鸟语花香，每个人笑容洋溢，希望这个世界能够恢复疫情前的样子，祝福大家笑口常开！



Le Franglish

one of my favorite poetry.

Hay un experimento clásico que pone a un voluntario en el dilema de decidir qué hacer con un vagón que avanza descontrolado hacia cinco trabajadores que no pueden verlo. El voluntario observa la escena desde lo alto de un puente junto a otra persona. Si empuja a esta persona a las vías, morirá, pero detendrá el vagón y salvará cinco vidas. Cuando el experimento se realiza con personas que hablan dos idiomas y responden en su lengua materna, el veinte por ciento decide que sacrificar a una persona es aceptable para salvar a cinco. Cuando responden en su segundo idioma, la cifra sube al treinta y tres por ciento. El efecto se explica porque, cuando se habla una lengua extranjera, normalmente tomamos decisiones menos emocionales y más pragmáticas.
