Las playas (Beaches)

大家好，我是潘妮，欢迎来到古典智慧拾贝。在这里，我主要与大家分享中国古代的思想家的智慧。

今天的智慧来自《中庸》。这本书是一部儒家经典，主要讲学习的方式和做人的规范。几千年来，都是中国文化的经典。

喜怒哀乐之未发，谓之中，发而皆中节，谓之和。

也就是说，快乐、生气、伤心和喜悦这样的情感没有发生时，叫做“中”，在合适的情况下发生，叫做“和”。

“中”与“和”这两个字，在中国的语言文化中，既简单，又极其重要。

谢谢你的收听，我们下次见。

Hello everyone, my name is Penny, welcome to this channel. In this channel, I will share with you wisdoms of Chinese thinkers and philosophers from the past.

The wisdom of the day comes from “The Doctrine of the Mean”, which is a confucianist classic. It mainly talks about study methods and what does it mean of being a human. For thousands of years, it is revered as a classic of Chinese culture.

While there are no stirrings of pleasure, anger, sorrow or joy, the mind may be said to be in the state of Equilibrium.

When those feelings have been stirred, and they act in their due degree, there ensues what may be called the state of Harmony.

This two words (character 中 and 和 ) is so simple but so important in Chinese language and culture. 

Thanks for your listening, and I will see you next time.

Sim, essa forma é como "Pequena Patrícia". No Brasil, essa palavra PATRICINHA é usada para descrever um certo tipo de mulher jovem. Uma palavra que é tão familiar na sociedade brasileira a ponto do filme Clueless, de 1995, ter sua tradução oficial como "As Patricinhas de Beverly Hills". Pois assim a trama do filme e seus personagens podem ser entedidos imediatamente pelo público apenas com o título. Mas o que exatamente significa ser uma patricinha? Assista ao vídeo e descubra!

A palavra "Patricinha" no Brasil

La mayoría de mi familia vive en la provincia de Barcelona pero ubicada a unos 20 kms. al oeste de la zona de Montserrat dónde me crié.  Algunas veces, de pequeño, cuando iba en el asiento trasero del coche de mis padres, camino de casa de mis tíos y mis primos, por la ventana veía un edificio muy alto y con unas formas diferentes al resto como no había visto nunca antes. Ese edificio era y es un castillo ¡Sí!

Ever wondered if adverbs of frequency hold the secret to mastering language like a word-wizard? Well, hang onto your linguistic hats because Smith, our adventurous linguist, is about to take us on a roller-coaster ride through this grammar maze! From the rock-solid "always" to the mysterious "never," he's got them all covered.

And when it comes to the present simple tense, they're the cool cats effortlessly denoting routine actions. So, put on your linguistic shades and get ready to disco with Smith, because decoding adverbs of frequency just got a whole lot more fun! 🎉📚
