The Legend of Osiris 

Poema 18, del libro Espantapájaros (1932), de Oliverio Girondo


Llorar a lágrima viva. Llorar a chorros. Llorar la digestión. Llorar el sueño. Llorar ante las puertas y los puertos. Llorar de amabilidad y de amarillo.

Abrir las canillas, las compuertas del llanto. Empaparnos el alma, la camiseta. Inundar las veredas y los paseos, y salvarnos, a nado, de nuestro llanto.

Asistir a los cursos de antropología, llorando. Festejar los cumpleaños familiares, llorando. Atravesar el África, llorando. Llorar como un cacuy, como un cocodrilo… si es verdad que los cacuyes y los cocodrilos no dejan nunca de llorar.

Llorarlo todo, pero llorarlo bien. Llorarlo con la nariz, con las rodillas. Llorarlo por el ombligo, por la boca.

Llorar de amor, de hastío, de alegría. Llorar de frac, de flato, de flacura. Llorar improvisando, de memoria. ¡Llorar todo el insomnio y todo el día!

Sonidos de Buenos Aires: poema de Oliverio Girondo

第二个行星上住着一个爱虚荣的人。
The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man.
喔唷！一个崇拜我的人来拜访了！
Ah! Ah! I am about to receive a visit from an admirer!
这个爱虚荣的人一见到小王子，老远就叫喊起来。
he exclaimed from afar, when he first saw the little prince coming.
在那些爱虚荣的人眼里，别人都成了他们的崇拜者。
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
“你好！”小王子说道。“你的帽子很奇怪。”
"Good morning," said the little prince. "That is a queer hat you are wearing."
“这是为了向人致意用的。”爱虚荣的人回答道，“当人们向我欢呼的时候，我就用帽子向他们致意。”
"It is a hat for salutes," the conceited man replied. "It is to raise in salute when people acclaim me."
可惜，没有一个人经过这里。
Unfortunately, nobody at all ever passes this way.
小王子不解其意。说道：“啊？是吗？”
"Yes?" said the little prince, who did not understand what the conceited man was talking about.
爱虚荣的人向小王子建议道：“你用一只手去拍另一只手。”
"Clap your hands, one against the other," the conceited man now directed him.
小王子就拍起巴掌来。
The little prince clapped his hands.
这位爱虚荣者就谦逊地举起帽子向小王子致意。
The conceited man raised his hat in a modest salute.
小王子心想：“这比访问那位国王有趣。”
"This is more entertaining than the visit to the king," the little prince said to himself.
于是他又拍起巴掌来。
And he began again to clap his hands, one against the other.
爱虚荣者又举起帽子来向他致意。

The conceited man against raised his hat in salute.
小王子这样做了五分钟，之后对这种单调的把戏有点厌倦了，
After five minutes of this exercise the little prince grew tired of the game's monotony.
说道：“要想叫你的帽子掉下来，该怎么做呢？”
"And what should one do to make the hat come down?" he asked.
可这回爱虚荣者听不进他的话，
But the conceited man did not hear him.
因为凡是爱虚荣的人只听得进赞美的话。
Conceited people never hear anything but praise.
他问小王子道：“你真的钦佩我吗？”
"Do you really admire me very much?" he demanded of the little prince.
“钦佩”是什么意思？
What does that mean– 'admire'?
钦佩么，就是承认我是星球上最美的人，服饰最好的人，最富有的人，最聪明的人。
To admire mean that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on this planet.
可您是您的星球上唯一的人呀！
让我高兴吧，请你还是来钦佩我吧！
小王子轻轻地耸了耸肩膀，说道：“我钦佩你，可是，这有什么能使你这样感兴趣的？”
于是小王子就走开了。
小王子在路上自言自语地说了一句：“这些大人，肯定是十分古怪的。”

第49話　8020、ハハ歯の話

I've used a voice-to-text transcription for you (it may not be grammatically correct). I hope you enjoy reading and listening, enjoy :)

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.
