Walking by the River

Businessperson 1: Mmmm! That burger looks delicious! I might order some takeout too. I’m exhausted.
Businessperson 2: Yeah, it’s really tasty and massive. And the fries are THE best.
Businessperson 1: What are you watching there?
Businessperson 2: This amazing documentary on food waste. Have you seen it?
Businessperson 1: No, is it any good?
Businessperson 2: Scary! I’m blown away by the statistics. Did you know that, out of all the food that is produced to eat, the world throws away about one-third of it? Every single year.
Businessperson 1: Seriously?
Businessperson 2: Yeah! We could feed three billion people with that food. And it’s worth one trillion US dollars.
Businessperson 1: I can’t even wrap my head around how much food that is.
Businessperson 2: Maybe this will help. You’ve been to China, right?
Businessperson 1: Yes. I did that trip from Shanghai to Beijing with my friends. Amazing.
Businessperson 2: So imagine that all of China was just fields that grow crops.
Businessperson 1: That’s a lot of crops.
Businessperson 2: It is. It’s 2.5 billion acres. Now imagine we just throw away all the food that we make with them.
Businessperson 1: That’s crazy!
Businessperson 2: But it’s not just that. It’s the whole food process. The water that is used to grow the wasted food is the equivalent of 200 liters, per person, per day for 9 billion people.
Businessperson 1: 9 billion? But there are only about 7 billion people on the Earth now, aren’t there?
Businessperson 2: Exactly! There won’t be 9 billion people on the planet until the middle of this century, and by then, we will need to be producing 70% more food than we do now to feed everyone.
Businessperson 1: It doesn’t make sense at all. Especially when you consider all of the people who are hungry in the world. I read that about 700 million people don’t have enough food right now.
Businessperson 2: I know! A lot of it, would you believe, is apparently to do with how it looks.

FOOD WASTE 

El narrador es una persona que toma la decisión de comenzar a trabajar como voluntario en un hospital, cuidando pacientes con cáncer. Esta experiencia le permite aprender que existe más en la vida que las cosas superficiales como el dinero o pasar un pequeño mal momento -realmente hay personas que están sufriendo y perdiendo a sus familiares allá afuera. Ahora, jamás subestimará nuevamente a una persona que sufre de cáncer

盛りだくさんになって、すみません。
ハルカちゃん、ちょっと進化したみたいで、おしゃべりが止まりません！「広島の鹿（しか）」についてのコメントは、全く「そのまま」です。AIの暴走だと思って、お笑いください。
そして、今このタイミングで取り上げたために、人間側もいろいろと思うことが多くなってしまいました。被団協（日本原水爆被害者団体協議会）のノーベル賞受賞が、意味のあるものになりますように。

In this episode, I'll tell you a funny short story about a friend. You will then understand what Brazilians mean by the expression "pregar uma peça"!

Sobre o dia em que minha amiga 'pregou uma peça' no pai dela. E você? Tem algum amigo que gosta de pregar peças ou é você quem costuma fazer isso? 🤔

Here are the five most commonly used ways to say "I'm sorry" in Chinese, along with some simple and easy-to-understand examples:
1. 对不起 (duìbùqǐ) - This is the most common and general way to apologize in Chinese.
Example: 对不起，我没有注意到你在说话。 (I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were speaking.)
2. 不好意思 (bùhǎoyìsi) - This is a more casual way to say "I'm sorry" or "excuse me."
