Age is Not the Reason to Quit

孔融让梨

孔融小时候聪明好学，才思敏捷，巧言妙答，大家都夸他是奇童。4岁时，他已能背诵许多诗赋，并且懂得礼节，父母亲非常喜爱他。
一日，父亲买了一些梨子，特地拣了一个最大的梨子给孔融，孔融摇摇头，却另拣了一个最小的梨子说：“我年纪最小，应该吃小的梨，你那个梨就给哥哥吧。”父亲听后十分惊喜,又问:“那弟弟也比你小啊?"孔融说"弟弟比我小,我也应该让给他.”孔融让梨的故事，很快传遍了曲阜，并且一直流传下来，成了许多父母教育子女的好例子。

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

不知道大家是否了解，在中国，这个冬天，热带的海南三亚遇到了一个强劲的竞争对手，那就是东北的哈尔滨。

哈尔滨宏大壮丽的冰雪节，吸引了全国各地的游客争相前往游玩。这其中，南方的朋友们被亲切地称呼为“南方小土豆”。他们穿羽绒服的可爱样子，在大家眼中就像是胖乎乎的“小土豆”，在哈尔滨受到了极其热情的欢迎。

哈尔滨人的热情，让游客们赞不绝口，火遍了中国的互联网。没有见过雪的“南方小土豆”们满足了心愿，哈尔滨人的盛情款待，也使得哈尔滨的城市形象大大提高了。

媒体说，这真是一场双向奔赴，互相成就呀。

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。
