嗨，大家好，我是史密斯老师。你现在正在听这个是因为你正在寻找一位英语老师，他会帮助你学会如何用英语表达自己。并不是说你不认识很多单词，而是你不知道如何运用它们来表达自己。如果这是你的问题，那就预约一堂课程和我一起学习如何用英语表达自己吧。

LEARN BY LISTENING

 我是你的英语老师。

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!

Company culture matters. A common reason people are motivated to switch jobs is a desire for a different company culture. When employees fit into the culture of a company, they not only feel more comfortable, like they are at their home away from home, but they are happier, more engaged, and more productive. 

In this episode, I walk you through questions to identify the type of culture you want in a company. You'll hear some of the most memorable and shocking answers I've heard from clients as we've talked about company culture. Then, I share steps that you can take to find companies with attractive cultures. Finally, I share what to do during a job interview to detect the culture of the company. You'll learn what to look for and questions to ask your interviewers. The episode concludes with definitions for nine idioms and phrases for English language learners.
