たつきのにほんご

Japanese Valentine's Day (Intermediate Level)

cí mǔ shǒu zhōng xiàn ， yóu zǐ shēn shàng yī 。
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
lín xíng mì mì féng ， yì kǒng chí chí guī 。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
shéi yán cùn cǎo xīn ， bào dé sān chūn huī 。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
【注释】
1．游子：在古时候泛指远游旅居的人。
2．意恐：担心。
3．寸草心：寸草，比喻子女；心，指小草的茎干，也暗指子女的心意。
4．三春晖：春天灿烂的阳光，此处比喻慈母的恩情。
【译文】
慈爱的母亲用手中的针线，为外出远行的儿子缝制衣裳。
在他临行之前，一针一线密密地缝制着，只因为担心儿子迟迟不能归来。
有谁敢说，子女像小草一样微弱的孝心，
可以报答慈母像春晖一样温暖的恩情呢？

There is so much professional Business English vocabulary that we can use at work that originally came from sports! In this podcast we're talking about phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns and verbs that we can take from football, athletics, and the Olympic games, and use at work to improve the way that we communicate in English. So, if you want to express your ideas more clearly in meetings, explain your experience better in job interviews, or make your presentations sound a little more natural and native then hopefully you'll find this episode really useful. Also, if you're taking an IELTS test soon, either the general or academic test, then this is all great vocabulary to take into the exam with you. Especially for the speaking part of the test where informal, natural, and native vocabulary is encouraged!
