心中贪婪的，挑起争端；倚靠耶和华的，必得丰裕。
xīn zhōng tān lán de, tiǎo qǐ zhēng duān; yǐ kào Yē hé huá de, bì dé fēng yù.
탐욕스러운 자는 다툼을 일으키지만, 여호와를 의지하는 자는 풍족하게 되리라
A greedy person stirs up conflict, but whoever trusts in the LORD will prosper.

Read the Bible in Chinese

箴言 zhēn yán    28:25 

JOHN: Hi, Alice, it’s John. How are you? 
ALICE: Oh, hi, John! I was just thinking about you.
JOHN: That’s nice. I was wondering if you’d like to go to a 
movie tonight.
ALICE: Sure, I’d love to! What’s playing?
JOHN: I was thinking about that new comedy Lights Out. What do
you think?
ALICE: Sounds great!
JOHN: OK, I’ll pick you up around 7:30. The movie starts at 8:00.
ALICE: See you then. Bye!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, Alice, it’s John: Hi, ____, it’s ____ is a casual and friendly way to say hello on the 
phone. Although “it’s” means “it is,” it is used to mean “I am” here.
• Oh, hi, John! Notice the rising intonation here. Alice is excited to hear from John and is 
very pleased that he called her.
• I was wondering if you’d like to ... This is a polite and indirect way of asking “Do you 
want to …?” John is nervous and does not want to appear too direct or bold. Notice 
how the question goes up at the end, which shows that he is not overly confident.
• Sure! I’d love to means “Yes, I would love to.” Notice that Alice is very enthusiastic 
and friendly. She wants John to feel comfortable about asking her out on a date.
• I was thinking about … / What do you think? Again, John does not want to appear 
too bold. He wants to give Alice a chance to suggest a movie.
• Sounds great! Is an informal way of saying “That is a good plan.”
• I’ll pick you up is an informal way of saying “I’ll come to your house so that we can 
go together.”

今天聊什么

什么！在办公室睡觉

大家好，最近天气回暖，南法也开始变得越发热闹，希望万物复苏的季节大家的心情也可以得到适当地放松。今天和大家分享狄更斯在《双城记》里的一段话，他说：“那是最美好的时代，也是最糟糕的时代；那是智慧的年头，也是愚昧的年头；那是信仰的时期，也是怀疑的时期；那是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；那是希望的春天，那也是失望的冬天。“

可能这个世界就是由黑暗和光明组成的，我们应该，向往光明，但也不畏惧黑暗。

用顾城的一首诗来结尾吧：“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛，我却用它来寻找光明。”

El querer aprender, como cualquier proceso que requiera largo tiempo, me parece como una vela. Se puede apagar “de aburrimiento” sola, si no tiene oxígeno o por la acción de una corriente de aire fuerte, intensa... “ansiosa”

Siempre relacionamos el mejorar nuestro nivel de español con tener más cantidad de conocimientos: conocer más reglas, tiempos y formas verbales, vocabulario, etc... pero nunca consideramos una mejoría por el factor calidad  y esto, sin duda, es también una señal de progreso. El aumento a lo ancho es más efectivo y duradero que a lo alto.
