Episode #63 - How metal music helps our health

Lily:  Lucy,我每次看见我的男朋友和别的女生聊天聊得很开心，我就很吃醋。
Lucy：醋是很酸的东西呀，为什么你不开心要喝醋？
Lily:  不是，我说的吃醋是那个意思。
Lucy:  哪个意思？
Lily:  就是除了吃真的醋以外，吃醋还比喻嫉妒，多指男女关系方面。有时也称醋意、醋劲儿、醋坛子。比如说：
1：看到你对别的女生好，我就不想理你了。这一次我真的吃醋了。
2：我女朋友醋意大发，我要好好哄哄她。
3：我男朋友吃起醋来，醋劲儿挺大的。
4：我看到你们聊得那么好，我的醋坛子都被打翻了。

Lily: Lucy, I get jealous every time I see my boyfriend chatting happily with other girls.
Lucy: Vinegar is very sour, why are you unhappy to drink vinegar?
Lily: No, that's what I meant when I said jealous.
Lucy: What do you mean?
Lily: In addition to being really jealous, jealousy is also a metaphor for jealousy, mostly referring to the relationship between men and women. Sometimes it is also called醋意, 醋劲儿, and 醋坛子. For example:
1: Seeing that you are nice to other girls, I don't want to care about you anymore. This time I was really jealous. 
2: My girlfriend is jealous, I have to pamper her.
3: My boyfriend is jealous, and he is very jealous.
4: I saw that you guys were chatting so well, my vinegar jar was knocked over.【very jealous】
