In this story, a wax bowl of stinky tofu named Stinfu wants to transform into real food. How does he do it? This is Part 3 of 4. 

The night market had finished and all the satisfied customers had left. There was only the restaurant staff, working very quickly to pack up. They didn’t want to spend another minute around a kitchen. They wanted to get home to their warm houses and relax. 

Stinfu stayed where he was. From his view in the showcase, he couldn’t see any of the workers, but he could definitely hear them. He heard plates being washed and stacked; and he heard spray bottles used to clean tables. 

Then, right on time, just like every night, Stinfu was picked up and moved out onto the counter. A waiter then reached inside the showcase and wiped the glass. 
Stinfu looked out at the lonely, empty night market and wished for a miracle. 

I’ve done my service… I’ve attracted thousands of customers to eat stinky tofu… I’m done. I’m tired of living a fake life. I know I’m something real, something more than this wax figure. 

And with that thought, Stinfu saw the homeless man return. 

The homeless man creeped forward, trying to stay hidden from the restaurant workers. He crouched down behind a table and looked straight at Stinfu. The homeless man’s eyes said everything: I’m going to get that stinky tofu or die trying! 

Stinfu lit up with absolute joy and sung a little song in his mind. 

Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m ready. Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m delicious! 

When the time was right, and the workers were nowhere to be seen, the homeless man ran forward to the counter and snatched Stinfu.

A toxic workplace is one of the biggest reasons why people leave their jobs.

It might be a place where staff are stressed, managers bully their employees and people don't trust each other.

"Toxic" usually means something that's poisonous, but we can also use it to mean "very unpleasant." The word is often used to describe a workplace that's so bad it's almost poisonous.

If you work in a toxic place, you'll probably know about it. But how can you tell if a workplace is toxic before you even start a new job?

Career coach Beata Staszkow says the way the manager treats you during the interview might give you an idea about how they'll treat you as an employee.

Look out for bosses who don't seem interested in your answers, she adds, or those who make inappropriate jokes.

A manager showing up late for an interview could also be a bad sign, says jobs expert Mita Mallick, writing in Harvard Business Review.

Mallick says to also watch out for things like the interviewer changing the job description after you've started discussing the job, or putting pressure on you to take the job right away.

It's also good to do some research into how many employees are leaving a company and how many new ones are joining. This is known as "employee turnover."

Sometimes there are good reasons for turnover. But it could be a sign of a toxic workplace. You should be able to find out about it by looking on sites like LinkedIn — and you might also be able to contact someone who used to work at the company.

If you're already in a toxic workplace, you'll probably want to get out of it. But you don't want to jump from one toxic workplace into another!

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊跟“吃”有关的一些有意思的说法。
吃我们都知道是“eat”的意思，吃饭，吃东西，吃药。你可能听过“我今天中午吃食堂”，这里指的是“在食堂吃午饭”。“小吃”就是snack，street food，比较简单的菜。“大吃大喝”，指的是“吃很多”，例如：春节期间，很多人每天都是大吃大喝。
这些词都跟吃东西有关，还有一些词不是真的吃东西。我们来看看。
【吃苦】苦是bitter的意思，例如“这杯咖啡很苦。”还有一个意思是“suffering，pain”。所以“吃苦”的意思就是“have a rough time”。例如“因为家里穷，他小时候吃了很多苦。”还有一个意思是”endure hardship“，例如“现在的年轻人生活条件太好了，很多都不能吃苦。”
【吃亏】亏是损失，loss，吃亏就是“suffer losses”。例如：不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。意思是：如果不听老人的建议，就会吃亏，会有不好的结果。
【吃瓜】吃瓜是一个网络流行语，这里的瓜是我们吃的“瓜子，sunflower seeds”。在戏院看戏的时候，边看边吃瓜子。后来“吃瓜”这个词用来表示发生什么八卦事件的时候，大家围观、八卦的状态。这些网友我们叫做“吃瓜群众”，而“瓜”则表示某个热点八卦事件。
【吃狗粮】狗粮本来的意思是狗吃的食物。在中文里面，我们经常开玩笑把单身的人叫做“单身狗”。一对情侣如果在一个单身狗面前表现得很甜蜜，我们叫做“秀恩爱”，也叫“撒狗粮”。意思是单身狗看到情侣这么甜蜜，很生气，气得吃不下饭或者气饱了。单身狗看到情侣这样甜蜜，就叫“吃狗粮”。
你还知道哪些“吃”的有意思的用法吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
