手土産って難しい・・・

GWに関西に帰り、旦那と私、両家の母親の合計４人で食事に行った。
旦那のお義母さんは、２つも手土産を持ってきていた。１つは京都の名産であるタケノコ、もう１つは高そうな和菓子だった。一方、私の母は１つしか手土産を持ってきていなかった。しかもリーズナブルな大阪のお菓子だ。その手土産は相手が持って帰るときに重くならないようにと選んだのだが、何とも言えない気持ちになった。
次回からは手土産なしで会を開こうと思う。

Ep. 3 - Essential Questions to Ask During an Interview

在本集播客里，Karen和柏威聊了一些中国年轻人不回家过年的原因，和他们面临的压力。

Chillchat (Learn Chinese and Chill)

年轻人，你为什么不回家过年？Young people, why don't you go home for Chinese New Year?

LUKE: Hello? Hi, Stephanie, how are things at the office?
STEPHANIE: Hi, Luke! How are you? Can you please stop and pick up 
extra paper for the computer printer?
LUKE: What did you say? Can you repeat that, please? Did you 
say to pick up ink for the printer? Sorry, the phone is 
cutting out.
STEPHANIE: Can you hear me now? No, I need more computer paper. 
Listen, I’ll text you exactly what I need. Thanks, Luke. 
Talk to you later.
LUKE: Thanks, Stephanie. Sorry, my phone has really bad
reception here.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• There are a few ways to express a lack of understanding and to request additional 
information. The most common ones are stated, but you can also say “Excuse me” or 
simply “I can’t hear you.” In a more formal situation, try saying “I’m sorry?” or “I beg 
your pardon?” (with a rising intonation).
• When asking someone to clarify information try saying Can you please repeat that? / 
Can you spell that for me? / Can you please write down the address for me?
• Cutting out describes a difficulty in understanding a caller due to poor cellphone 
reception. If you are having trouble understanding the caller, you can also say The 
line is breaking up / I am losing you. If the phone call is disconnected because of poor 
reception, you can say The call dropped.
• Talk to you later is the equivalent in a phone conversation of “See you later” in a 
regular, face-to-face conversation.
• Reception here means the availability of cellular service, the possibility to receive and 
give calls on a cellphone. Cellphone reception can be limited in remote areas, inside 
large buildings or underground (in the subway, for instance).
