script:枪响之后没有赢家，伤害与被伤害有时候也是对立统一的关系。伤害他人有时候也意味着在毁灭自己，即便你占尽了优势也不可能是为所欲为的，然后你就可以接着说你想到的平衡的问题，一切都在追求一种平衡，健康在于平衡，发展在于平衡，对抗有时候也是一种平衡，对不对？所以如果你想到了这个之后，你就最后就不仅仅是人和熊的关系了，人和自然的关系，人和自我的关系，人和世界的关系。 

平衡  píng héng  
关系  guān xi 
翻译: There are no winners in a gun fight. To hurt or to be hurt are not always mutually exclusive. Sometimes hurting others causes more damage to yourself，despite being in an advanteous position, you can't act recklessly, this leads us to the topic of balance. There needs to be balance in life. Balance in heath, balance in development, even balance in conflict, right? When you come to realise this, you will recognise that it doesn't just refer to the relationship between man and animals, but also to the relationships between man and nature, man and himself, and man and the world around him.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【颜色】的话题。
我们先从红色开始吧。如果我们说“她脸红了”，意思是“她害羞了。”因为害羞的时候我们的脸会变红。一个人很生气的时候，也可以说“他气得脸红。”。除了“脸红”，还有一个词叫“眼红”，意思是嫉妒别人。例如：“我看到他那辆漂亮的新车就非常眼红。”“红”还有“有名”的意思，我们可以说“他是个很红的明星。”也可以说“他是个很火的明星。”
第二个是黄色。如果一个人休息不好，或者营养不良，他的脸色看起来不太健康，我们可以说“他脸色发黄。”“黄”还有“没有了，失败了”的意思，例如：客户突然说不买他的房子了，这笔买卖黄了。 有一句俗语叫做“黄花菜都凉了”，意思是等一件事或者一个人等了很久，例如：你怎么才来，我等到黄花菜都凉了。黄色还有一个不好的意思，黄色笑话指的是blue jokes。
第三个是绿色。一个人很恐惧的时候，我们可以说他的脸绿了。例如：他吓得脸都绿了。生气的时候也可以说“他气得脸都绿了。”绿色的帽子在中国还有一个特别的意思，我们说一个人戴绿帽子，意思是他的另一半出轨了别的男人或者女人。
在西方股票市场，绿色代表股价上升；而在中国股票市场则相反，红色是上升，绿色是下跌。主要原因是，中国人喜欢红色。
你还知道哪些颜色的俗语？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
