大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上次我们介绍了一些带有动物的成语，今天我们再来学习四个吧。
第一个是如鱼得水。它的意思是：像鱼得到水一样。所以这个成语可以用来形容一个人得到跟自己十分投合的人或对自己很合适的环境。例如，经理最近找到一位新助理，两个人配合得很好，他感觉如鱼得水。也可以说：丰富的教学经验让他在新工作上如鱼得水。
第二个是笨鸟先飞。它的意思是：行动笨拙的鸟要先飞起来。所以这个成语可以用来形容：能力差的人要比别人更努力，才不会落后。例如，我没有别人聪明，所以我要更加努力，笨鸟先飞。
第三个是一石二鸟。它的意思是：一块石头扔出去打中两只鸟。所以这个成语可以用来形容：做一件事情得到两种好处。例如，他做了一笔生意，不但赚了钱，还交了一个朋友，真是一石二鸟。
最后一个是鸟语花香。它的意思是：鸟叫得很好听，花开得很香。所以这个成语可以用来形容美丽的自然风景。例如，春天到了,花园里鸟语花香。
你还知道哪些成语呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

动物成语 Animal idioms ② （Intermediate level）

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.

Party of One: Solo Dining Increasing in Popularity

11月は日本で大学の学園祭シーズンです。学園祭とは学校のお祭りのことで、学生たちが主体となってお祭りを企画し、屋台やステージの演目を考えたり、展覧会を行ったりします。この大学の学園祭は3日間にわたって行われる予定ですが、明日は一日中雨の予報なので初日の今日、行くことにしました。

お昼前に行ったのでまだ準備ができていないところが多く、少しぶらぶらしながらライブ演奏や屋台の準備を待ちました。沖縄のドーナツであるサーターアンダーギーから菓子パン、焼きそば、お好み焼き、ポトフ、ブラジルのシュラスコなどなど色々なお店がありました。色々食べた中で1番美味しかったのは胡麻あんまんでした。仕事があったので2時間しかいられなかったのですが、雰囲気を味わうには充分でした。

いつもは閉会式の後に打ち上げ花火があり、とてもきれいだったのですが、今年は大学の創立70年ということでドローンショーがあるようです。最終日に見に行くのが楽しみです。
