Podcast #005: 端午节 Traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival

Script 大家好!欢迎收听Digmandarin Podcast. 每年农历的五月初五是端午节,又叫龙舟节。这是中国的传统节日。这一天,我们有很多活动,比如,吃粽子,赛龙舟,喝雄黄酒等等。 端午节有很多传说,但是最有名的说法是为了纪念屈原。屈原是中国古代很有名的诗人,在他跳江以后,老百姓就向水里扔粽子、在水上划龙舟,驱散水里的鱼,这样就可以保护屈原的身体。从此以后,每年的农历五月初五我们都会做这些活动纪念屈原。 今年的端午节就要到了,祝大家端午节快乐!

Podcast #003: 拍马屁 Flattering in Chinese

  Script 大家好!今天我们要学习一个很有意思的说法:拍马屁。生活中我们一般用“拍马屁”来形容奉承、讨好别人的行为,也就是flatter,lick somebody`s boots or to suck up somebody. 例如: 他为了升职,正在想方设法地拍老板的马屁。(He is working hard to flatter the boss to get that promotion.) 拍马屁的字面意思是Clap horse butt。但为什么呢? 中国元朝的时候,蒙古族人都养马,当他们牵着马相遇时,常要拍拍对方马的屁股,表示尊敬。如果碰到好马,总喜欢拍着马屁股称赞一番。但是有的时候,有的人不论马好不好,都只说好话,奉承马的主人。后来人们就把这种奉承的行为称为“拍马屁”。 我们叫这些喜欢拍马屁的人“马屁精”。 好,这些就是这一次的内容。希望你喜欢!
