#107 花粉症 | Hay Fever 🤧

In this episode, I attempt to illustrate the sound and rhythm of Old Norse through a parody saga: The Saga of Ragnar the Cat and His Fish.
What begins as a royal Sunday scene soon turns into a tragicomic meditation on fish, fate, and feline philosophy. The noble Ragnar Kǫttr, fish-king of Frogner, sits deep in thought at his table, carving shavings from a dried cod while his anxious bird-servant reminds him that Monday is near. What follows is a ritual of guilt, wisdom, and the burning of fish bones — told in the stately cadence of an Icelandic saga.
Through this humorous retelling, I explore how Old Norse language, sounds, syntax, and storytelling traditions can be reimagined today — blending philology, parody, and pure absurdity.
1. Sá atburðr varð á einum sunnudegi, at Ragnarr Kǫttr, fiskkonungr af Frogneri, sat í hásæti sínu yfir borði.
2. Hann hafði svá djúpa hugsan um fisk ok speki, at hann gáði eigi stundanna.
3. Hann hafði kníf í hendi ok telgði flísar af þurrum þorski.
4. Kjøkenþjónninn, fugl lítill ok hræddr, stóð fyrir honum ok helt fiskfat.
5. Hann sá hvat konungr gerði ok skildi, at hann sjálfr hugði at ǫðru — líklega at fiskins eðli ok örlǫgum.
6. Þá mælti fuglinn lágt: “Mánadagr er á morgin, herra fiskhyggjumaðr!”
7. Ragnarr leit til hans, er hann heyrði þetta, ok mintisk þá hvat hann hafði gǫrt: hann hafði etit alla sunnudagslaxinn einn.
8. Síðan bað hann fœra sér kertisljós — eigi til iðrunnar, heldr til skemmtanar.
9. Hann sópaði saman fiskbeinum ǫllum í hǫnd sér, þeim er hann hafði gnat.
10. Þá brá hann þeim í logann ok lét brenna bein í lófa sér, sem helga fórn fisksins anda.
11. Þaðan mátti marka, at hann myndi fast halda sín lǫg ok boðorð,
12. ok vilja eigi yfir ganga þat, er hann vissi réttast — at engi fiskr skyldi deilask meir.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【减肥】的话题。
说起减肥，我算是个资深的减肥专家了。我从初中开始就开启我的减肥之路，试过各种方法：节食、运动、甚至是吃减肥药。直到这几年，我才开始意识到，不应该盲目减肥。我看回以前的照片，其实一点儿也不胖。按照BMI的标准，我甚至是体重偏轻。我对身材的焦虑都是受外界的声音以及一些扭曲的审美影响。现在我对身体的唯一要求就是健康，再也不把“减肥”两个字挂在嘴边了。
我经常听到身边的朋友说要减肥，不能吃太多，有的甚至晚饭都不吃。那么不吃晚饭真的能瘦吗？我们来听听专家的看法吧。
很多人呢一提起减肥啊都有很多种方法。大家说很简单啊，不就是少吃多动弹嘛，我只要少吃就可以了。单纯不吃晚餐能不能解决问题？初听很简单，说少吃一顿晚餐，那么一定就是能量减少了1/3，时间久了我自然就能够瘦下来。短期内啊，不吃晚饭确实能够减少我们的能量的摄入，但是这样的方法不能够很长久。如果您长期不吃晚饭，就有可能造成代谢率的下降。这个时候身体马上适应性地降低你的基础代谢率，而不能够起到减肥的作用。所以减肥一定是要吃动两平衡，既要适当地少吃，还要坚持积极的身体活动，才能够在保持代谢率的情况下，能够维持减重减脂的效果。
你有减肥的经历吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
