In this episode, I read a simplified version of Mikhail Zoshchenko’s short story “Жених” — a funny and ironic story about work, social expectations, and human vanity.
Together, we’ll listen to the story, talk about some interesting expressions, and explore Zoshchenko’s unique humor and vivid language.

This episode is great for intermediate learners (B1–B2) who want to improve their listening skills.

#2 Učenje stranih jezika (Учење страних језика)

我费了好长时间才弄清楚他是从哪里来的。
It took me a long time to learn where he came from.

小王子向我提出了很多问题，可是，对我提出的问题，他好像压根没有听见似的。
The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him.


他无意中吐露的一些话逐渐使我搞清了他的来历。
It wasfrom words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me.

例如，当他第一次瞅见我的飞机时（我就不画出我的飞机了，因为这种图画对我来说太复杂），他问我道： “这是个啥玩艺？”
The first time he saw my airplane, for instance (I shall not draw my airplane; that would be much too complicated for me), he asked me: "What is that object?"
这不是玩艺儿。它能飞。
That is not an object. It flies.
这是飞机。是我的飞机。
It is an airplane. It is my airplane.

我当时很骄傲地告诉他我能飞。
And I was proud to have him learn that I could fly.
于是他惊奇地说道：“怎么？你是从天上掉下来的？”
He cried out, then:"What! You dropped down from the sky?"
“是的”。我谦逊地答道。
"Yes," I answered, modestly.
啊！这真滑稽。
Oh! That is funny!


此时小王子发出一阵清脆的笑声。这使我很不高兴。
And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which irritated me very much.
我要求别人严肃地对待我的不幸。
I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously.
然后，他又说道：“那么，你也是从天上来的了！你是哪个星球上的？”
Then he added: "So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet?"

这个时候，对于他是从哪里来的这个秘密我隐约发现到了一点线索；
At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence;

于是，我就突然问道：“你是从另一个星球上来的吗？”
and I demanded, abruptly: "Do you come from another planet?"
可是他不回答我的问题。
But he did not reply.
他一面看着我的飞机，一面微微地点点头，接着说道：
He tossed his head gently, without taking his eyes from my plane:


可不是么，乘坐这玩艺儿，你不可能是从很远的地方来的。
It is true that on that you can’t have come from very far away.

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
每个人多多少少都有一些烦恼，不同年龄的人烦恼的事情可能不太一样。这个采访是从5岁到90岁的人在聊他们人生的难题。今天我们来听听50岁到90岁的烦恼。
50岁：（回答：我什么时候可以退休啊？）那按照那个法定的年龄60岁退休嘛。女同志五十周岁（55岁：听说还要延长退休时间）。我家孩子在外面北漂好几年了，我想让她回来.
60岁：你就让孩子去发展去吧，发展得好就让他在那边混，混不好他自然就回来了。我呀，才60岁，就感觉身体啊跟不上了，以后70可咋办呢？
70岁：到70啊，你就到时候把你的孙子叫过来，这孩子也皮实了，你身体也就好了。难题就是我这个老伴儿呢，怕我这个高血压。菜的里头呢，又少油又少盐又少糖，不好吃。
80岁：难吃啊？难吃上我那吃去。我现在就血压高，就经常得上医院去跑，开药去。我就有一个老同志，我春节的时候去看他，住在医院里的，躺在床上相当可怜。八十多了，好几十（朋友）了。走到尽头了。
90岁：你现在呢就说也不要太难过，你也劝劝他到公园转一转。全是咱们老同志，一块儿聊聊大天。侃侃咱们过去，在一块，年轻的时候。在这方面自己想开点，也就舒畅了。我老伴儿三年前去世了。都这么大岁数了，总得要有一个人先走，但是我也很想念她。说到这儿吧。（5岁：老爷爷，您别难过。老奶奶只是睡着了，您以后碰见她，亲她一口她就醒了）你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Daily Chinese With Yuli

人生从5到90岁的难题② The conundrum of life from 5 to 90 years old （Intermediate level）

De todos los restaurantes que se ubican en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad, sin duda, destacan aquellos que se descubren dentro de hermosas casonas que datan de hace siglos. Uno de los más conocidos, concurridos y afamados es el mítico Café de Tacuba.

Este restaurante tiene ya más de 100 años, y es que además de su delicioso y mexicano menú, son sus muros los que embelesan a cualquier comensal que ingresa al lugar. Las mesas, la música y las pinturas transportan a todo visitante al México del siglo XX. Es preciso decir que el Café de Tacuba ha permeado la idiosincrasia capitalina desde hace años, por su gran tradición y preciosa decoración.

Pero hay algunos datos de su historia que muchos citadinos desconocen. Vale la pena echar un vistazo a su pasado para verdaderamente comprender los momentos que le otorgaron tanta identidad.

El inmueble que alberga hoy el Café de Tacuba fue construido desde el siglo XVII. Cabe mencionar, que a principios del siglo XX, esta casona fungía como sede de una lechería. Para 1912, Dionisio Mollinero llegó desde Tabasco a la Ciudad de México para fundar un restaurante de auténticas y tradicionales delicias mexicanas. Eligió esta increíble residencia de la calle de Tacuba para hacerlo.

El arte que adorna todos los alrededores del Café de Tacuba es admirable. Lo que más resalta son sus vitrales y mosaicos. Pero también conviene voltear a ver las obras pictóricas, pues muchas son de la época novohispana. Uno de los cuadros más famosos se llama La niña en traje rojo, y es de José de la Borda. También llaman la atención unos óleos de Carlos González, que narran con bellas imágenes el descubrimiento del mole y el chocolate.
