Why 'Soy Milk' is a Liar & How to Be Free (Without Paying Tariffs)

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"

Listening Expert Shares How to Understand More of the English Language

一百多年前，陈独秀先生《敬告青年》，一百余年过去，一点都不过时。这个社会被抖音短视频快手充斥，有理想有情怀的人少之又少。谨以此文，致敬经典。
我认为人在年少时便懂事，是中国人称赞人的话语；年纪大的时候却不见衰老（Keep young while growing old.），是英美人互相勉励的话语，这难道不是东西方民族的想法不同，从而导致现象不一样的一个方面吗？青年就像初春，像朝日，像百花萌动，像磨刀石上新发出的利刃，是人生中最应该宝贵的时期。

青年对于社会，就像新鲜活泼的细胞在人体内新陈代谢一样，而那些陈腐朽败的人，无时不在被天然淘汰的路上，给新鲜活泼的人腾出空间留位置，腾出时间来生活。人的身体如果遵循了新陈代谢的规律就会变得健康，若是让陈腐朽败的细胞充塞了就会死亡；社会遵循了社会的新陈代谢就会兴隆盛大，如果陈腐朽败的人充塞了社会，那么这个社会就会灭亡。
依上所述，我们的国家社会，是将要兴隆盛大呢？抑或是即将灭亡呢？我不忍心说出口啊。那些陈腐朽败的人，一听说自己是要被天然淘汰的，自然不愿意随着岁月流逝，我们对他们说短道长，希望他们能够脱胎换骨。我之所以想要这样涕泣陈词，只是希望我们国家的新鲜活泼的青年人，能够自我觉醒并奋斗！

什么是自我觉醒？自我觉醒是新鲜活泼的青年的价值和责任，是能够自我审视、认识自己而不自我看轻。什么是奋斗？奋斗是用我们所拥有的智慧和才能，奋力去排除那些陈腐朽败的人，将他们视作仇敌，视作洪水猛兽，并不与他们亲近，不被他们身上的菌毒所传染。
唉！我们国家的青年啊！我真的能够在这里这样告诉他们吗！我见到岁数处于青年，而身体已经步入老年的人差不多有（其中的）十分之五，而年龄和身体处于青年，大脑却已经步入老年的人有（其中的）十分之九了。将头发变得光亮、容貌变得滋润、腰板挺直、胸膛挺起，这就非常像一个青年的模样了，但是等到询问他们脑子里的想法和所怀揣的抱负，却无一不和那些陈腐朽败的人是一丘之貉。这些青年开始也未曾不是新鲜活泼的。萎靡不振，被陈腐朽败的人同化的有一部分；萎靡不振，惧怕陈腐朽败的人的势力的庞大，瞻前顾后地，不敢明目张胆地跟他们顽强抗争、斗争的，也有一部分人。（现在）充塞社会空气的，无论到哪不都是陈腐朽败的人吗？我们想要寻求那些少有的新鲜活泼的青年，以此慰藉我们心中那令人窒息的绝望，也还是得不到任何消息。

以上所说的现象，如果放人身上来看，人是必死无疑的；如果放社会上来看，社会是必然会灭亡的。如果想要救治当前社会的弊病，唉声叹气是没有什么用的，我们需要一些聪明地得以自我觉醒的、勇于奋斗的青年，发挥青年固有的智慧和才能，决择人间种种的思想——什么是新鲜活泼的、适用于今天世界的斗争求存的思想；什么是陈腐朽败而不应该容许被留在头脑中的思想——有如利刃断铁，快刀理麻，而绝对不抱有屈从他人的愿望的想法，（像这样）解放自己和他人，社会或许能够有清宁的日子。青年人啊！是否有能够自告奋勇担此大任的人呢？如果你们能够明白是非对错的道理，我在这里真诚提出以下六点要求，以供决择，希望你们能够放平心态细细品读。

（一）自主的而非奴隶的

（二）进步的而非保守的

（三）进取的而非退隐的

（四）世界的而非锁国的

（五）实利的而非虚文的

（六）科学的而非想象的

 今年夏天很特别，从中国到外国，北方到南方，天气都非常热，温度也特别高。比如上海，夏天一般在三十五度左右。可是今年夏天有多热呢？最热的那段时间差不多每天都有四十多度。大家都说，这是最近二十年最热的夏天。有的专家说这是因为气候变化，环境被破坏了，以后全世界每年都会有这种不正常的天气，我们必须开始重视保护环境了。

This summer is very special, from China to foreign countries, north to south, the weather is very hot, the temperature is very high. In Shanghai, for example, it's usually around 35 degrees in summer. But how hot will it be this summer? During the hottest days, it was more than 40 degrees every day. By all accounts, it was the hottest summer in the last twenty years. Some experts say that this is because of climate change, the environment is destroyed, the world will have this abnormal weather every year, we must start to pay attention to the protection of the environment.
