Estilo de vida carioca

안녕하세요! 저는 주말에는 광주라는 도시에 다녀왔어요. 
친구 결혼식에 참석하기 위해 간 것이었어요. 
갈 때는 버스를 타고, 올 때는 KTX를 탔어요. 
여러분은 둘 중에 어떤 교통수단을 더 선호하나요? 

Hello! I visited a city named 광주 last weekend.
I went there to attend my friend's wedding ceremony.
On my way to 광주 I took a bus and on my way back home I took KTX.
Which transportation do you prefer between a bus and a train?

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上周我们学了数字一到五的一些有趣的词，今天我们继续来学习吧。
第一个是数字“六”，“六六大顺”是一句祝福语，多用于祝福中年人士家庭幸福，工作顺利，事业有成，身体健康。有一个流行语“666”，是很厉害的意思，可以用来夸人。你看到很厉害的人或事的时候，可以说“666”。这其实是口头语“溜”的谐音数字，一个人的中文说得很好，我们可以说“他的中文说得很溜。”
七上八下：指的是“心中慌乱、不安”。例如：当我第一次去见我的老师时，我心里紧张得七上八下。 
八字没一撇：一个“八”字连一撇都没有写。比喻事情离成功还差得很远。例如： 他们刚认识，结婚的事八字没一撇呢。
九牛一毛：“许多头牛身上的一根毛。形容极大数量中的微不足道的数量。”。例如： 这点损失对他来说, 只不过是九牛一毛。  
十拿九稳：指的是“做事很有把握”。例如： 如果不是十拿九稳的事，他不会轻易答应你的。
大家快把这些词用起来吧，这样你的中文就更溜了。我们下期见。
