Being a Boss

Amanda: Hi Maria!
Maria: Oh, hi Amanda.
Amanda: You look a bit worried, are you all right?
Maria: I’m exhausted. Yesterday’s homework took me all evening. It’s probably going to double next year, isn’t it?
Amanda: Probably. My older brother has to write long essays for his English literature course. But we’ll have fewer subjects to study. Have you chosen your courses yet?
Maria: No, when’s the deadline?
Amanda: We have another month, but the school emailed us all the list the other day. I have it on my phone.
Maria: Ooh, let’s have a look, then.
Amanda: Here it is. Oh, look, the Spanish and biology timetables clash. I won’t be able to do both.
Maria: Would you do that, though? Languages and science don’t go together, do they?
Amanda: Well, you wouldn't think so, but actually, my aunt is a research scientist, and a lot of European universities work together on projects. She’s working on a project with a university in Rome, one in Germany, and one in Portugal.
Maria: Is it a biology project?
Amanda: No, she’s a chemist. They’re working on a solution to clean up deadly pollution in rivers and lakes.
Maria: That sounds so cool and really fascinating.
Amanda: It really is. She gets to visit colleagues in different cities sometimes, and she gets her work translated into lots of different languages. She wishes she had learned some German, though, so she could communicate better with her German research partners. She understands Portuguese and Italian, but German, not so much.
Maria: When did she learn Portuguese and Italian?
Amanda: I think she did some of her university degree in Lisbon and some in Rome.
Maria: Studying chemistry in different languages?
Amanda: Yes, she loved it!
Maria: So, you’re kind of following in her footsteps, then. Science and languages. You could be a biologist in Spain.
Amanda: Yep, or at least study there, or South America.
Maria: So, what are you going to do about the timetable clash?
Amanda: I think I’ll talk to the dean.

In this episode we will talk about “冷”, you will learn different meanings of “冷”.
大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第3期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“冷”的话题。
大家都知道冷是温度低的意思，它的反义词是热。如果今天只有8度（°C），我们可以说今天好冷啊，我要多穿几件衣服。夏天的时候，大家喜欢喝冷饮，例如冰可乐、冰啤酒、冰奶茶。还有夏天必不可少的冰淇淋。大家可能会说，冬天我们也喝冷饮吃冰淇淋啊。
这里要告诉大家一个文化小知识。在中国，大家在吃的方面比较讲究。小时候天气冷的时候，妈妈会告诉我们：“不可以吃冷的，对身体不好。”所以我们长大后也是这样的习惯。不过啊，现在年轻人越来越不在乎这些了， 他们想什么时候吃就什么时候吃。
冷还可以表示一个人的态度。例如，他对我很冷淡，一点儿也不热情。也可以说：她总是冷冰冰的。如果两个人吵架了，互相不说话，我们可以说：他们在冷战。如果你的朋友很激动，你可以告诉他：你冷静点儿。
冷还有其他有意思的用法。例如冷门，冷门专业是指那些很少人会选择学习的专业，它的反义词是热门专业。很多年前，计算机在中国是冷门专业，过去十几年变成了热门专业。
大家听过冷笑话吗？如果你的朋友告诉你一个笑话，你觉得不好笑，那你可以说：好冷啊。冷笑话就是bad joke，lame joke。
你听过什么中文的冷笑话吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
