Idioms and Slangs Episode6-想得美

CONNIE: Oh! What a beautiful cat. What do you think?
GARY: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
CONNIE: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk 
it every single day? And clean up after it?
GARY: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
CONNIE: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. 
And I don’t really know how to take care of a bird or a fish!
GARY: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.
CONNIE: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk 
about it.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Oh! What a beautiful cat “Oh!” is used to show surprise or excitement. “What a …” is 
an expression that means “I think this is a very …” “What a(n) …” is followed by an 
adjective, which is usually emphasized. Notice the emphasis on “beautiful” here.
• Dogs are more loyal than cats. Two things are being compared here (dogs and 
cats). Notice the structure of the sentences: (noun/s) plus “is/are more” plus 
(adjective) plus “than” plus (noun/s). The nouns and the adjective are content words 
here, so they are all emphasized.
• Every single day Notice that each word here is stressed. The speaker wants to make 
a point, so she emphasizes each word equally. “Every single day” is a lot!
• Good point here means “I agree with you.”
• Take care of This phrase is used with animals, people and things. It can mean 
“watch a child while her parents are away,” “feed and house someone or 
something,” or “make sure things work properly.” (I always take care of my baby 
brother./ I take care of my bird by feeding it and cleaning its cage./ I need to take 
care of the broken sink.)
• Yeah, you’re right. Notice the pronunciation of this expression — the words all 
blend together here. This casual expression is used to agree with someone that you 
know well.

日本の食卓事情３

毎日（まいにち）豊富（ほうふ）なおかずを作る理由（りゆう）は、小（ちい）さい時（とき）から家庭（かてい）で母（はは）の作る様々（さまざま）な料理（りょうり）を食（た）べていたせいで、同（おな）じ献立（こんだて）を毎日食べることに慣（な）れていないからだと思（おも）う。日本ではそういう家庭が多（おお）いだろう。
同じ献立が連続（れんぞく）しても、食材（しょくざい）を焼（や）いて味付（あじつ）けは塩（しお）だけでも、十分（じゅうぶん）じゃないか！と自分（じぶん）に言（い）い聞（き）かせたい。栄養（えいよう）が偏（かたよ）るとはいえ、たまに外食（がいしょく）してもいいじゃないか。
日常（にちじょう）の食事（しょくじ）なんて、そんな豊（ゆた）かにしなくてもいい！とは思（おも）いながらも、明日（あした）の献立に悩（なや）むそんな今日（きょう）。

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
相信大家对中文的数字都不陌生了吧，那今天我们就来学一学一些跟数字有关的词，看看普通的数字还能怎么用？
首先是“一”，有一个词叫“一心一意”。第一个意思是“非常专心”，例如：他一心一意投入学习，不受其他的事情影响。第二个意思是“坚持一个想法”，例如：他一心一意要退学创业，谁也改变不了他的想法。还有一个词叫“一心多用”，意思是“同时想着或者做着好几件事”，例如：现在的人经常一心多用，一边工作一边听音乐，还能一边跟人聊天。
数字“二”有一个常用的词叫“二话不说”，意思是“没有犹豫”，例如：朋友跟他借钱，他二话不说就给他了。“二百五”除了是“两百五十”的意思，还常指那些傻头傻脑，说话不正经、办事不认真的人。这样的人我们说“他是个二百五。”
三心二意：指的是“一会儿想这样一会儿想那样，犹豫不决或意志不坚定”。例如：他无论做什么都三心二意，做不长久。
三言两语：指的是“简单的几句话”。例如：这件事太复杂了，三言两语解释不清楚。
怕三怕四：指的是“这也怕,那也怕，不能做出决定”。例如：遇到机会的时候他总是怕三怕四，所以到现在还是个普通员工。
丢三落四：指的是“一个人做事很粗心，不是丢了这个，就是忘了那个。”例如：他这人丢三落四的，今天又把钥匙弄丢了。
五颜六色：指的是“很多种颜色”。例如：这是一件用五颜六色的布料做成的衣服。  
你还知道哪些跟数字有关的词吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
