UN OJO DE LA CARA

An anecdote is a quick story about something of interest, usually with a singular theme or lesson. Anecdotes are no different than the stories told among friends, but when they’re used in literature, they can accomplish more than merely passing the time. 


Types of Anecdotes: 
Although there is no formal grouping, anecdotes tend to fall into the categories of 
cautionary, 
characterizing, 
humorous, 
inspirational, 
reminiscent. 

However, these are not mutually exclusive and can be blended together

In this episode, I reflect on Episode 1 of Season 1 of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, titled "Cruelty."
The tragedy that struck Tanjiro, the bond with his sister Nezuko, and the sudden appearance of Giyu — it was filled with powerful, emotional moments where feelings clashed.
How did you feel in that moment when your heart wavered?
Let’s take a moment to savor the lingering echoes of this powerful story together.
Original story by Koyoharu Gotouge, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, animation by ufotable.
The first season of the TV anime aired in 2019, with a total of 26 episodes.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
大家知道成语吗？成语一般是四个字，很多成语背后都有一个故事。我们可以用四个字的成语来表达一些特定的意思。如果你和中国人聊天的时候说成语，他们一定会觉得你的中文非常厉害。那今天我们来学一些带有动物的成语吧。
第一个是鼠目寸光。它的意思是：老鼠的眼睛只能看到一寸远的地方。一寸是3.33厘米，很短的距离。所以这个成语可以用来形容一个人只考虑眼前的事情，没有远见。例如，一个老板只考虑现在赚更多的钱，不考虑公司以后的发展，我们可以说他鼠目寸光。
第二个是对牛弹琴。它的意思是，对一头牛弹琴，牛一点儿也听不懂。所以这个成语可以用来表示，跟不懂的人说是没有用的，浪费时间。例如，你朋友对科幻电影一点也不懂，一点也不感兴趣。你和他说了半天，真是对牛弹琴。
第三个是望子成龙。它的意思是，希望自己的孩子能成为一条龙。这个成语用来表示，父母希望自己的子女能在学业和事业上有成就。例如，许多家长望子成龙，星期日也不休息，陪着孩子去上各种各样的培训班。
最后一个是马到成功。它的意思是，马一到就成功了。这个成语用来表示成功迅速而且顺利，我们可以用来鼓励别人。例如，你的朋友要参加一个重要的比赛，或者有一个重要的工作，你可以跟他说：“祝你马到成功。”
你还知道哪些成语呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
