#107 花粉症 | Hay Fever 🤧

Have you ever heard the expression you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks? Today I want to talk with you about this expression and ask whether this is true or not. Well, the answer is kind of confusing because it is, and it isn’t true at the same time. So what do I mean by that? When somebody says, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” essentially, they are saying if you are older, you can’t learn new things. Now, I have a real problem with this because I have seen this type of mindset disproved so many times, including my first college professor who did not go to college until she was in her 60’s she ended up getting her associate degree, her bachelors and then masters degree and in her seventies was my professor for my very first college class that I ever took. I don’t believe the expression, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” is this true?

I denne episoden vil vi følge de dristige eventyrene til Bjørn Jernside og Hasting, som leder en flåte av 62 vikingskip inn i hjertet av Middelhavet. Deres mål? De legendariske rikdommene i Roma. Fra samlingen av deres formidable flåte i 859 til den brutale herjingen i Paris, og gjennom farlige farvann til et dramatisk klimaks ved Luna, nøster vi opp deres strategiske feilskjær og kulturelle møter. Denne episoden går dypt inn i deres farefulle reise, utforsker de dristige ambisjonene som drev dem og de historiske effektene av deres bedrifter. Bli vitne til de listige strategiene, de harde slagene og de strenge lærdommene lært når ambisjon møter virkelighet. Stem inn mens vi dissekerer myten og virkeligheten av en av vikingenes mest vågale reiser.

EP 25. WORDS THAT CAN BE CONFUSING

         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。

悬梁刺股---孙敬/苏秦

با آنکه شراب پرده ما بدرید، تا جان دارم نخواهم از باده برید
من در عجبم زِ مِی فروشان کایشان، بِه زانچه فروشند چه خواهند خرید

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour -- well,
I [often wonder]1 what the Vintners buy
One half so precious as the [Goods]2 they sell.
