Brentoni's English Podcast

马克：丽丽，明天就要去见你的爸爸妈妈了。我准备买点儿鲜花送给阿姨，带一瓶红酒给叔叔。
Mǎkè: Lìlì, míngtiān jiù yào qù jiàn nǐ de bàba māma le。 Wǒ zhǔnbèi mǎi diǎner xiānhuā sòng gěi ā yí，dài yī píng hóngjiǔ gěi shūshu。
丽丽：不用买这些，我们一家都很喜欢吃水果，买点儿水果过去就好了。
Lìlì  :   Bùyòng mǎi zhèxiēū, wǒmen yī jiā dōu xǐhuan chī shuǐguǒ, mǎ diǎnr shuǐguǒ guòqù jiù hǎo le。
马克：就这么简单吗？跟我们那里不一样。
Mǎkè: Jiù zhème jiǎndān mā? Gēn wǒmen nàlǐ bù yīyàng。
丽丽：就是这么简单，太隆重了，他们反而觉得不自然。
Lìlì:     Jiùshì zhème jiǎndān, tài lóngzhòng le, tāmen fǎnér juéde bù zìrán。
马克：我担心这样做不礼貌呢。
Mǎkè: Wǒ dānxīn zhèyàng zuò bù lǐmào ne。
丽丽：投其所好，入乡随俗。我们也请你吃一顿家常便饭。
Lìlì:     Tóu qí suǒ hào, rù xiāng suí sú。 Wǒmen yě qǐng nǐ chī yī dùn jiā cháng biàn fàn。

Mark: Lili, I'm going to meet your mom and dad tomorrow. I'm going to buy some flowers for my aunt and a bottle of red wine for my uncle.  
Lili: There is no need to buy these. We all like fruit very much. Just buy some fruit.  
Mark: Is it that simple?  It's not like where we are.  
Lili: It's as simple as that. If they're too grand, they don't look natural.  
Mark: I'm afraid that would be rude.  
Lili: Do as the Romans do.  We'll treat you to a potluck dinner.

Episode 8. 上級者も注意！「い形容詞」

想念的地图

假如想念是一张地图，打开思念的地图，你也许会发现，不管这张地图有多么复杂，想念的起点也是终点。小孩子想念的是亲人，长大了，想念的是恋人，后来，想念的对象又变成了亲人。人生最初的想念和最后的想念几乎是一样的，无论我们走多远，也是殊途同归。

想念一个人到底是什么滋味？如果可以不要想念一个人，是不是会比较自由？想念一旦展开，我们都是不自由的。当我老了，当一切都结束，远方不再有想念，那时候我会感受到能够想念一个人，也被人想念，这张地图是漂亮的。

学习重点：殊途同归

5 dicas para dominar a linguagem corporativa brasileira

speaker:   陈丹青  Chén Dānqīng   艺术家、作家、文艺评论家。
代表作品：《西藏组画》，参与了2008年北京奥运会开幕式的策划设计活动。
Chén Dānqīng (born 11 August 1953, Shanghai, China) is a Chinese-American artist, writer, and art critic. He is well known for his realist paintings of Tibetans. Chen participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony with planning and design.
script: 
我从现在年轻人的表达当中我没有看到个性，我看到的是共性。我很少很少看到一个年轻人，给我有个性的表达，让我一惊。我*，这话，他这么说？这么看？我几乎看不到。语言都趋同，表达方式趋同，词语趋同。我不觉得今天的孩子比我们那会儿孩子更有个性，真的一点没有。为什么？还是因为你们每个人有个手机，有一个网络。网络和整个的媒体在教你们怎么说话。然后你们统一性越来越强。
表达   biǎo dá fāng shì；the way they speak
个性   gè xìng；personality 
译文translation:
I can't see the personality in the expressions of young people now, what I see is the commonality. I seldom see a young man who gives me a speech of personality that surprises me. Which can makes me think ‘Why did he say that? Why did he have this idea?’ I can barely see it. Languages are the same, the way they speak are the same, and words are the same. I don't think the young people now have stronger personality than our times, really not at all. Why? That’s because each of you has a cell phone, the Internet and the entire media is teaching you how to speak. Then you guys become more and more unifie.
