CHISTES MEXICANOS

CHISTES NAVIDEÑOS.

 In questa quinta puntata, ci immergiamo nelle vicende di due figure emblematiche: il boss Vito Genovese e Lucky Luciano. Ambientata nel contesto della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'episodio svela come il tacito consenso del governo americano abbia favorito il ruolo strategico di questi personaggi nella risoluzione del conflitto in Italia.
Durante il racconto, analizzeremo nuove parole e termini legati al mondo della mafia, del contrabbando e della borsa nera, mettendo in luce il legame profondo tra storia e linguaggio. Verranno esplorati anche i riferimenti cinematografici, con un focus su film come Napoli milionaria, Ieri, oggi, domani e il film di Francesco Rosi su Lucky Luciano, che hanno saputo catturare e raccontare quell'epoca complessa. Un viaggio tra storia, potere e cultura, per comprendere come il denaro, il crimine organizzato e le strategie politiche abbiano lasciato un segno indelebile nel destino dell'Italia.

         悬梁xuan2 liang2--------东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。开始由于知识浅薄得不到重用，连家里人都看不起他，使他大受刺激，下决心认真钻研，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样就会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。这就是孙敬“悬梁”的故事。

        刺骨ci4gu3--------战国时期，有一个人名叫苏秦，也是出名的政治家。在年轻时，由于学问不多不深，曾到好多地方做事，都不受重视。回家后，家人对他也很冷淡，瞧不起他。这对他的刺激很大。所以，他下定决心，发奋读书。他常常读书到深夜，很疲倦，常打盹，直想睡觉。于是他想出了一个方法，准备一把锥子，一打瞌睡，就用锥子往自己的大腿上刺一下。这样，猛然间感到疼痛，使自己清醒起来，再坚持读书。这就是苏秦“刺股”的故事。

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Ser (to be). That's the verb we use to talk about someone's occupations, origin and title.

The exercise is really simple. I’m gonna say a couple of sentences, but the subject (i.e. the person) is missing. For example, if you hear “am from Colombia”, the subject missing from that sentence would be "I". 

Ready? Here are the sentences:

Soy de Argentina.
Es de Perú.
Eres de Guatemala.
Son de Colombia.
Somos de Chile.
Es doctor.
Soy dentista.
Somos amigos.
Son hermanos.
Eres profesor.
