Intercultural communication. It sounds normal, right? But the relationship between culture and communication is a bit unclear for some. What was first? The egg or the chicken? The culture or the communication?

Ep.29 今年も「桜（さくら）🌸」が咲きました。

“As I live in a pretty small town, I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people from different countries or cultures, but I've had the pleasure of getting to know James, an English teacher from the UK. 

James hails from London, and moved here about 2 years ago to work as an English tutor in one of the local high schools. I guess he’s in his mid-twenties, and being one of the few foreigners here, has become a kind of local celebrity. 

The first time I met James was at an English corner, which was held at one of the local coffee shops in town. I saw it advertised, and decided to go along, as I really needed to brush up on my English speaking skills. I remember, I was the first to arrive, and introduced myself to James, and was immediately taken aback when he started to introduce himself in the local dialect! 

We got chatting, and hit it off from the start, getting along like a house on fire. Not only did it turn out that we were both football fanatics, but also shared the same taste in music. 

We have since become the best of mates, and hang out at least once or twice a week. I really love chatting to him, and getting to learn all about English culture, as well as sharing different aspects of my own culture with him. I have great respect for James, as he has really made an effort to immerse himself into the local culture here. On top of that, getting to know him has been a real eye opener, and helped to dispel any negative cultural stereotypes.”

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
从2019年的冬天，到2022年的冬天，疫情持续了三年，也管控了三年。上个月底开始，中国各大城市陆续放开管控，感染人数也在不断攀升。疫情三年我身边的朋友没有一个得过新冠，这个星期开始陆陆续续有人阳了。感染后一般会有哪些症状？我们来看下中文怎么说。
发病第1天：症状较轻，可能感到轻微咽干咽痛，身体乏力。第2天：开始出现发热症状，部分年轻人高烧至39℃（摄氏度）左右，同时咽部不适感加重。第3天：症状最重的一天。高热39℃（摄氏度）以上，浑身酸疼乏力，咽痛加剧。第4天：体温的高峰开始下降，很多人从这一天体温降为正常，不再发热。但仍然咽痛咽痒。一部分人开始流（鼻）涕、咳嗽。第5天：体温基本降到正常，但是鼻塞、流涕、咽痛、咳嗽，身体乏力仍然存在。第6天：不再发热。咳嗽、流涕等症状加重，前期病毒导致的呼吸道黏膜破坏，人体通过流涕咳嗽排出坏死的细胞。第7天：所有的症状开始明显好转，核酸很大可能转阴。
药学专家表示，由于每一个人对于病毒的耐受力、自身免疫情况是不一样的，不同的患者症状会有一些差异，一定要对症下药。
专家：每一个患者他的症状可能还是有一些差异的，像有些患者他可能只有发热比较严重这种感觉，有些人可能还伴有全身酸痛，还有一些咳嗽咳痰等等这样的症状。我们还是以自身出现的症状为主。如果是你有这种发热和全身酸痛的情况，我们是可以用一些退热药的，那我们一般是以体温超过38度5为准。那也有些病人可能觉得我的体温还没有超过38度，但是已经非常难受了，其实这个时候也已经可以开始用一些这个退热的药物了。
你得过新冠病毒吗？有哪些症状？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
