Всем привет!
Hello, Russian Language Learners!
Salut, les amis!

This is 1-minute (or so) podcast on Survival Phrases when you need to buy some medicine in a pharmacy. We all may have headaches or stomachaches on a trip. Even though you might already know how to do shopping in Russian or ask for directions but if you are not well, it’s a relief when you know what to say to the pharmacist in the nearest pharmacy. (Believe me, it’s on every corner!)  
A piece of advice! Check on the internet Russian analogs of medicine that you are used to buy in your home country. 

Ваш иногда страдающий от мигрени преподаватель, Елена.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
相信大家对中文的数字都不陌生了吧，那今天我们就来学一学一些跟数字有关的词，看看普通的数字还能怎么用？
首先是“一”，有一个词叫“一心一意”。第一个意思是“非常专心”，例如：他一心一意投入学习，不受其他的事情影响。第二个意思是“坚持一个想法”，例如：他一心一意要退学创业，谁也改变不了他的想法。还有一个词叫“一心多用”，意思是“同时想着或者做着好几件事”，例如：现在的人经常一心多用，一边工作一边听音乐，还能一边跟人聊天。
数字“二”有一个常用的词叫“二话不说”，意思是“没有犹豫”，例如：朋友跟他借钱，他二话不说就给他了。“二百五”除了是“两百五十”的意思，还常指那些傻头傻脑，说话不正经、办事不认真的人。这样的人我们说“他是个二百五。”
三心二意：指的是“一会儿想这样一会儿想那样，犹豫不决或意志不坚定”。例如：他无论做什么都三心二意，做不长久。
三言两语：指的是“简单的几句话”。例如：这件事太复杂了，三言两语解释不清楚。
怕三怕四：指的是“这也怕,那也怕，不能做出决定”。例如：遇到机会的时候他总是怕三怕四，所以到现在还是个普通员工。
丢三落四：指的是“一个人做事很粗心，不是丢了这个，就是忘了那个。”例如：他这人丢三落四的，今天又把钥匙弄丢了。
五颜六色：指的是“很多种颜色”。例如：这是一件用五颜六色的布料做成的衣服。  
你还知道哪些跟数字有关的词吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
