大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
相信大家对中文的数字都不陌生了吧，那今天我们就来学一学一些跟数字有关的词，看看普通的数字还能怎么用？
首先是“一”，有一个词叫“一心一意”。第一个意思是“非常专心”，例如：他一心一意投入学习，不受其他的事情影响。第二个意思是“坚持一个想法”，例如：他一心一意要退学创业，谁也改变不了他的想法。还有一个词叫“一心多用”，意思是“同时想着或者做着好几件事”，例如：现在的人经常一心多用，一边工作一边听音乐，还能一边跟人聊天。
数字“二”有一个常用的词叫“二话不说”，意思是“没有犹豫”，例如：朋友跟他借钱，他二话不说就给他了。“二百五”除了是“两百五十”的意思，还常指那些傻头傻脑，说话不正经、办事不认真的人。这样的人我们说“他是个二百五。”
三心二意：指的是“一会儿想这样一会儿想那样，犹豫不决或意志不坚定”。例如：他无论做什么都三心二意，做不长久。
三言两语：指的是“简单的几句话”。例如：这件事太复杂了，三言两语解释不清楚。
怕三怕四：指的是“这也怕,那也怕，不能做出决定”。例如：遇到机会的时候他总是怕三怕四，所以到现在还是个普通员工。
丢三落四：指的是“一个人做事很粗心，不是丢了这个，就是忘了那个。”例如：他这人丢三落四的，今天又把钥匙弄丢了。
五颜六色：指的是“很多种颜色”。例如：这是一件用五颜六色的布料做成的衣服。  
你还知道哪些跟数字有关的词吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

#7 優（やさ）しさに包（つつ）まれた日（ひ） //N3 Level

“Hit the Nail on the Head” *Hey everyone! Let’s dive into a useful idiom: “hit the nail on the head.” It means to say or do exactly the right thing. Imagine your friend explains perfectly to you,why you’re tired and he says
“You’ve been working too much.”
You could say, “You hit the nail on the head!” It’s great for emphasizing accuracy in ideas or actions. Can you think of a time you hit the nail on the head?

Hit the Nail on the Head

It’s decided: decisive people no more accurate than self-doubters。

Research finds only difference between so-called action-oriented and state-oriented people is confidence

By Nicola Davis

It’s a trait best seen in the eager pub quizzer – a tendency to leap to an answer without a shadow of a doubt.

Now researchers have suggested that while people who have little difficulty making decisions are more confident in their choices, they are no more accurate than those who feel more torn.

Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers revealed how they conducted experiments to explore potential differences between people who tend to be decisive, known as action-oriented people, and those who struggle to commit to a choice, known as state-oriented people.

“What we found is that confidence was the only thing that was different,” said Dr Wojciech Zajkowski, the first author of the research, who is now based at the Riken social decision science laboratory in Japan.
