听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是中国的宠物经济。近十年来，随着中国人民生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人开始饲养宠物。中国的宠物经济也越来越蓬勃发展，形成了涵盖宠物方方面面的“一条龙”服务。包括宠物饲养场、宠物医院、宠物美容院，宠物寄养点甚至宠物殡葬服务。养宠大军的不断扩大，使得宠物经济前景广阔。

在中国，尤其在大城市，单身人群越来越多，许多独居的年轻人或是老年人喜欢养一只猫咪或者狗狗作伴。宠物医生、宠物美容师、宠物摄影师，宠物寄养师、训犬师，宠物派对、宠物spa馆，甚至宠物瑜伽纷纷走俏。

有句话说的好，爱ta就爱一辈子，因为ta的生命中只有你。动物也通人性，养他就给他一辈子的承诺，不要抛弃、遗弃你的猫咪或者狗狗。这是我认为盈利的宠物经济背后，最重要的部分。你说呢？

欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

Ep.47 ⚠️熱中症に気をつけましょう！！！！！🥵

Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, fierce wildfires around the Los Angeles area have sent residents fleeing from their burning homes.

Santa Anas are warm, dry northeast winds that blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast, moving in the opposite direction of the normal winds that carry moist air from the Pacific.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling multiple blazes, from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, with new fires breaking out in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8.

One of the fires is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history.

By early morning on January 9, more than 1,900 structures had been destroyed and over 130,000 people were under evacuation orders, with five people reported dead.

The fires have already consumed an area of about 110 square kilometers — nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.

Fires don't usually blaze at this time of year. But Santa Anas are happening later and later in the year, and this year's winds are much faster than usual — helping the flames spread faster once they ignite.

California had two extremely wet winters that caused lots of plants to grow, followed by a sudden drought that dried them out — which experts say has provided the perfect tinder for the flames.

AccuWeather estimated damage from the latest fires could reach $57 billion, with the weather company's Jonathan Porter saying "it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history."

Among those who have lost their homes are a number of celebrities, including actor Billy Crystal, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that he had lived in for 45 years.

Another celebrity who lost his home, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, wrote on Instagram: "Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire."
