大家好，您正在收听中文播客《丹霞说》，我是丹霞。今天我要给你们介绍一下儿我的朋友。

我有一个好朋友，她叫夏白雪。
夏是夏天的夏，不是下雪的下。
为什么她的名字是夏白雪？因为她爸爸姓夏，但是她在冬天出生，出生那天下雪了，所以她叫夏白雪。

白雪家有四口人，她父母、她弟弟和她。她爸爸有自己的商店，她妈妈在学校工作，是英语老师，而他弟弟还是中学生，所以和爸妈住在一起。
白雪在公司上班，有时候她工作非常忙。但周末的时候，她会回家看看家人。

好，现在我们再听一次！

I have a good friend whose name is Xia Baixue.

Xia is xia in summer"xia tian", not the xia in snow"xia xue".

Why is her name Xia Baixue? Because her father's surname is Xia, but she was born in winter. It snowed on the day of her birth, so her name is Xia Baixue.

There are four people in Bai Xue's family, including her parents, her younger brother and her. Her father has his own shop, her mother works in school and is an English teacher, while his brother is still a middle school student, so he lives with parents.

Bai Xue works in a company. Sometimes she is very busy. But on weekends, she will go home to visit her family.

Do you understand these words?

Buona fine e buon inizio a tutti!!! Ci avviciniamo all'ultimo giorno dell'anno, Capodanno (Il capo dell'anno? Colui che comanda l'anno o il punto più alto dell'anno???....Boh!!!). Ad ogni modo, un buon momento per voltarci a guardare alle spalle e osservare cosa abbiamo fatto durante quest'anno che volge ormai al termine; e una buona opportunità per prefissarci degli obiettivi per il prossimo anno che sta per iniziare. Buon ascolto a tutti, ma soprattutto buona fine e buon inizio!

Buona fine e Buon Inizio!

Speaker: Princess Elizabeth was born in London in 1926. She grew up in London with her younger sister and they were educated at home. She was not expected to become queen when she was born, but in 1936, her uncle King Edward VIII gave up the throne and her father became King George the Sixth. As she had no brothers, Elizabeth would become the next ruler.

Speaker: In 1947, she got engaged to her third cousin, Philip Mountbatten. In 1952, while she was visiting Kenya, the death of King George was announced, and Elizabeth returned immediately to England. She was crowned at Westminster Abbey on the second of June, 1953. For the first time ever, the ceremony was shown on TV and watched by millions of people around the world.

Speaker: Elizabeth’s role as queen was mostly ceremonial: she opened Parliament, met government ministers and signed new laws. However, she was not allowed to express her own political opinions. She also represented Great Britain abroad, visiting countries in the Commonwealth and other nations around the world. The Queen was always instantly recognizable in her classic outfit of matching dress, coat, hat and handbag.

Speaker: Elizabeth loved dogs - corgis were her favorite breed. She also bred and raced horses. Every year at Christmas, the Queen spoke to the nation on TV. In 1992, she described a particularly difficult year, as several of her children’s marriages broke up and a fire destroyed part of her home in Windsor Castle.

Speaker: Elizabeth celebrated many anniversaries and became the longest serving king or queen in British history. Some people felt that a royal family was too expensive for the country, so after 2012, she reduced spending and received less money from the government. Many people continued to find the royal family interesting, as shown by the popularity of TV shows about the Queen and her family, such as The Crown.

Speaker: Philip died in 2021 and the Queen died a year later. Her son became King Charles the Third...

안녕하세요! 
제 메시지의 노래버전입니다.
"This is the sung version of my original message."

https://youtube.com/shorts/zfAkGLpfgxg?feature=share

어젯밤에도 잠을 설쳤죠.
오늘은 조금 괜찮을까 했는데,
아침부터 일이 꼬이기만 했어요.
그런 날,
우리 모두 있잖아요.
하지만 잊지 마세요.
그런 날에도
당신은 멈추지 않았다는 걸요.
넘어져도,
힘들어도,
다시 일어나 한 걸음씩 나아갔잖아요.
그건 정말 대단한 거예요.
오늘의 당신은 충분히 멋졌습니다.
그리고 내일은 더 빛날 거예요.
잠시 쉬어도 괜찮아요.
당신은 그럴 자격이 있으니까요.
오늘도 수고한 당신,
충분히 잘하고 있어요.

You had trouble sleeping last night again, didn’t you?
You thought today might be better,
but things have been going wrong since morning.
We all have days like that, don’t we?
But don’t forget,
even on days like that,
you didn’t stop moving forward.
Even when you stumbled,
even when it was tough,
you got back up and took one step at a time.
That’s truly amazing.
You were incredible today.
And tomorrow, you’ll shine even brighter.
It’s okay to take a break.
You deserve it.
To you, who worked so hard today,
you’re doing great.
