第６課　てくる-５

Послушайте подкаст про связь русской бани с банями в Римской империи. 

Русский с Валентиной

А1-А2. Русские и римские бани. 

퇴근길이었다.
유하는 늘 그렇듯 이어폰을 꽂고 익숙한 골목길을 걸었다.
벽돌 담 너머로 고양이 한 마리가 느릿하게 지나가고, 오래된 가로등 아래엔 국화꽃 한 송이가 놓여 있었다.

그런데 오늘은, 누군가 그 꽃을 들고 서 있었다.
수트 차림의 낯선 남자. 창백한 얼굴, 그러나 눈빛은 또렷했다.

그는 유하를 보며 말했다.
“유하 씨 맞죠?”

“저를 아세요?”

그는 국화꽃을 유하에게 내밀며 말했다.
“이 꽃, 유하 씨를 위해 준비했어요. 처음 뵙지만… 오늘이 시작이었으면 좋겠네요.”

처음 만나는 사람이, 내 이름을 안다?
그날 밤, 유하는 잠들지 못했다.
그리고 다음 날, 그는 정말 다시 나타났다.

It was on her way home from work.
As always, Yuha walked down the familiar alley with her earphones in.
A stray cat sauntered past the brick wall, and beneath the old streetlamp stood a single chrysanthemum.

But today, someone was holding that flower.
A man in a suit, pale but with piercing eyes.

He looked at her and said,
“You’re Yuha, right?”

“Do I know you?”

He held out the flower to her.
“This flower… I prepared it for you. It's our first meeting, but I hope it’s the beginning.”

A complete stranger knew her name.

That night, Yuha couldn’t sleep.
And the next day—just as he said—he appeared again.

 길고양이 = stray cat

국화= chrysanthemum 

꿰뚫는 듯한 눈빛= piercing eyes 

다시 나타나다= appear again 

The Man at the Crosswalk

ep1 . 꽃을 든 남자 ( A man with flower)

⏳ El Reloj del Tiempo Perdido 🕰️

Lucas siempre fue un apasionado de los objetos antiguos. Un día, mientras exploraba una vieja tienda de antigüedades, encontró un reloj de bolsillo dorado con una inscripción que decía: "Gira y el tiempo te seguirá". Intrigado, lo compró y, al llegar a casa, giró la pequeña perilla sin pensar demasiado. De repente, el aire a su alrededor cambió, y la habitación desapareció. Al abrir los ojos, se encontró en una calle empedrada donde las personas vestían ropas de hace siglos. Había viajado al año 1823.

Confuso pero emocionado, Lucas caminó por la ciudad, maravillado por la vida en el pasado. Pero pronto se dio cuenta de algo inquietante: las personas lo miraban con desconfianza, y un hombre con un abrigo largo lo seguía a todas partes. Asustado, intentó girar la perilla del reloj para volver a su tiempo, pero no funcionó. De repente, el hombre lo alcanzó y le susurró: "Ese reloj no te pertenece, joven viajero. Cada segundo que pasas aquí, el tiempo te reclama más".

Lucas, temblando, corrió hacia el puente principal. El reloj vibraba y parecía calentarse. Con todas sus fuerzas, giró la perilla una vez más. El suelo tembló y todo se desvaneció. Al abrir los ojos, estaba de vuelta en su habitación. Pero había un detalle que lo dejó helado: el calendario en su escritorio marcaba el año 2057.

20 Questions for Global Professionals on Time Management - Episode 122

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.
