最近、ドイツのスーパーでは小麦粉や油、パスタが売り切れになっています。油については揚げ物に使うひまわり油は売り切れていますが、オリーブオイルはあります。小麦粉や油を置いている棚には「1人２個まで」と書いた紙が貼ってあります。
この状況がなぜ起こっているのか、私には詳しい理由がわかりません。戦争のせいでウクライナやロシアから商品が来ていないからかもしれないし、緊急の場合に備えて買いだめをしている人が多いからかもしれません。
２年前にパンデミックが始まった時にも小麦粉とトイレットペーパーが売り切れになりました。
幸い、私の家には去年イタリアでもらったオリーブオイルとパスタがたくさんあるので困っていません。

Job interview coaching, Episode 393.

Unlike most, we don’t focus on the STAR method or predictable interview questions.

Instead, we prepare you to connect with the interviewer on a deeper level, demonstrating – with your words, actions, and presence – that you are the ideal fit for the role.

You may not realize it, but many top-level decision-makers rely on their intuition alongside logic. Our approach is designed to influence their heart, not just their mind.

Join me and experience this unique coaching firsthand. Like many VPs and C-suite managers who have been my guests, you’ll leave feeling truly empowered.

To Your Success, Anatoly

EP.9. Different "Vacations" in Chinese 中文有幾種"假"?

大家好，您正在收听中文播客《丹霞说》，我是丹霞。今天我要给你们介绍一下儿我的朋友。

我有一个好朋友，她叫夏白雪。
夏是夏天的夏，不是下雪的下。
为什么她的名字是夏白雪？因为她爸爸姓夏，但是她在冬天出生，出生那天下雪了，所以她叫夏白雪。

白雪家有四口人，她父母、她弟弟和她。她爸爸有自己的商店，她妈妈在学校工作，是英语老师，而他弟弟还是中学生，所以和爸妈住在一起。
白雪在公司上班，有时候她工作非常忙。但周末的时候，她会回家看看家人。

好，现在我们再听一次！

I have a good friend whose name is Xia Baixue.

Xia is xia in summer"xia tian", not the xia in snow"xia xue".

Why is her name Xia Baixue? Because her father's surname is Xia, but she was born in winter. It snowed on the day of her birth, so her name is Xia Baixue.

There are four people in Bai Xue's family, including her parents, her younger brother and her. Her father has his own shop, her mother works in school and is an English teacher, while his brother is still a middle school student, so he lives with parents.

Bai Xue works in a company. Sometimes she is very busy. But on weekends, she will go home to visit her family.

Do you understand these words?
