庭の梅が咲きました。梅の花が咲くと、本格的に春が来るなとそわそわします。梅の話から、神社、そして地元の伝統工芸の話をしています。


Today I talk about Japanese plum, ume blossoms. Seeing ume blooming, I feel I have to do something just because spring is coming! 
The topics move from ume blossoms to the shrine, and local traditional crafts.

        大家好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，今天的台词出自电影《后来的我们》。如果你在大城市上大学，毕业了以后，你会离开那儿吗？我们来听听电影中林见清是怎么说的：

        “毕了业，谁愿意离开北京？每次路过天安门的时候我就在想，所有最好最神奇的事情都会在这里发生。
        我明白北京不是我的家，我宁可拥抱现实中的无家可归，也不想放弃搏一把的机会。都说这儿的生活艰难，但我不怕，至少我在北京混过。
       北京的一天真的很短，短到还没有开始就结束了，所以每天早上一睁眼，我就觉得我离梦想又进了一步。”
——林见清  电影《后来的我们》/<Us and Them>

052 - wear your heart on your sleeve

Have you ever heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

It means you should follow the customs of the place you're visiting or the people you're with. So in Japan, for example, you should take off your shoes before entering someone's home, because it's the custom.

However, people often shorten this phrase to just, "When in Rome."

Phrases like this, where part of the sentence is not spoken but the meaning is still clear, are called "anapodotons" ("an-uh-PAW-duh-tuns"). People don't say the second part of the phrase, but everyone knows what they mean.

But why do people leave phrases unfinished?

According to Instagram linguist Adam Aleksic, it's because we like to save time and effort when talking. By saying less, we can still share the full idea, as long as others know the rest of the phrase.

Anapodotons are very common in English. Let's look at some more now!

"Speak of the devil" is something people say when someone appears just as you were talking about them. The full phrase is, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." But it doesn't mean you think the person who appeared is a bad person!

"It takes a village" is another example. The full phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child," means raising children is easier with help from others. It can also be used to talk about teamwork or group tasks.

"If you can't stand the heat" comes from, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." This means if something is difficult or stressful, you should either deal with it or stop complaining and leave!

Anapodotons may be short, but they have a lot of meaning!
