Lily's Chinese 对话

20240201毛泽东自传节选

We all do it regardless of knowing that it's often counterproductive and can put us in a bad mood or lead to us feeling insecure....no matter what the gurus tell you and their advice to NOT do it we just cannot help ourselves. 

This episode offers my take on this everyday phenomenon. I welcome you to share your opinion in the comments section.

Comparing yourself to others

嗨，大家，这个星期真的很难熬 :( 我真的筋疲力尽。不幸的是，我的状态真的和这个表达相匹配。我会在这一集告诉你们原因。

西班牙语表达

"Estar hecho polvo" 什么意思？

Life's too short to read the small print, right? The small print, sometimes called the "fine print" is the name for the terms and conditions you find on websites, contracts and other documents.

The size of the text is often a little smaller and there can be quite a lot of it. For these reasons, some of us don't read it all — even though we know it can be very important.

A company from the UK decided to test how many people really do read the small print.

The company, called Tax Policy Associates, hid a little surprise in the privacy policy on its website, offering to send a nice bottle of wine to anyone who read it.

It was the idea of company founder Dan Neidle. He wrote in the policy: "We will send a bottle of good wine to the first person to read this."

The policy was posted online in February, but the company was only contacted about the wine in May!

He told the BBC that it was a "childish protest" because "all businesses have to have a privacy policy" even though no one reads them.

Neidle added: "Every tiny coffee shop has to have a privacy policy on their website, it's crazy."

He said that the person who found the sentence about the wine had been writing their own privacy policy, and they were looking for examples.

That lucky person was sent a bottle of French red wine and the sentence offering the free wine has now been taken out of the policy!
