Oggi parleremo di come poter ordinare in modo semplice, conciso ed educato. 

The Italian Miscellaneous Podcast for beginners

Come ordinare al ristorante/bar

Speaker 1: For me, having a dumbphone would be …dumb. I really like surfing the web on my phone to find out about things. If I hear the name of an actor I don’t know about, I can look them up, or if I‘m in a new place and I want to find a restaurant to go to, I can find somewhere easily. Plus, I love Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I follow loads of celebrities and I love to watch concerts and live-tweet what is happening. Without my smartphone, my friends wouldn’t know what I was doing. It would feel very strange.

Speaker 2: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dumbphone. I hate how the battery on my smartphone is in control of my life. I always have to find somewhere to charge the phone when I’m out and I’m always worried about it. I also don’t like the way search engines record your history and use it to sell you things. I feel as though my attention is always taken away from everything I do with my smartphone because I use it so much. I was with a friend the other day and after a while, we were sitting there not talking, just looking at our phones. It was like our phones just killed the conversation. We didn’t even realize it was happening.

Speaker 3: I like the idea of a dumbphone. I’m just not sure if I would like it in practice. I travel a lot with my work, so it really helps being able to access my inbox when I’m out. If I didn’t, I would spend all my time in the office answering emails. I also have a favorite podcaster who I listen to all the time when I’m traveling. I can download his latest episode and pass the time when I’m on a flight or a train. I do enjoy being offline as I feel as though I am always using my phone to communicate, with email, Skype, phone calls, and text. But I think if I didn’t have access to the Internet most of the time, I would worry.

DUMBPHONES

【躺平】 

面对996或者007的高压工作、高额的房价、微薄的薪水以及难以跨越的社会阶层生活，新一代的部分年轻人感觉非常辛苦，所以选择了另一种生活态度，面对激烈的竞争不再拼命地奋斗并且降低自己的物质欲望。在我看来，躺平也可能是一种新的生活哲学，适当地躺平，有助于年轻人缓解压力和排解不良的情绪。过度地躺平可能会阻止自己或者社会的发展和进步


Miàn duì 996 huòzhě 007 de gāoyā gōngzuò, gāo é de fángjià, wéibó de xīnshuǐ yǐjí nányǐ kuàyuè de shèhuì jiēcéng shēnghuó, xīn yí dài de bù fen niánqīng rén gǎnjué fēicháng xīnkǔ, suǒyǐ xuǎnzéle lìng yì zhǒng shēnghuó tàidu, miàn duì jīliè de jìngzhēng bú zài pīnmìng de fèndòu bìngqiě jiàngdī zìjǐ de wùzhí yùwàng.

Facing the  high-pressure jobs as 996 or 007, high housing prices, low salary salaries, and social class life that is difficult to cross, some young people in the new generation feel very hard, so they choose another life attitude, and face fierce competition. Work hard and lower your material desires. In my opinion, 躺平 may also be a new philosophy of life. Properly躺平 can help young people relieve stress and relieve bad emotions. 躺平 excessively may prevent the development and progress of oneself or society

第4集-躺平【引きこもり・横たわり族】-with Lily -Chinese internet buzzword

The Migrating Warblers concerns issues of racism. The titular birds have just returned to Texas from their migration in Guatemala. When they return, they relate tales of Central America that they find to be scandalous or gruesome. They recount their experiences in a sort of mangled "Spanglish" that disrespects the region from which they've just returned.
