【外婆,好想多一些了解你】
有外婆的夏天,格外像夏天,温和的胖老太太讲话轻声细语,走路没有声响,静静地在屋里削土豆、泡茶、剥豆子。我们一放暑假就扎堆儿去乡下。
早上外婆会叫我或我妹去摸几个鸡蛋,刚生的蛋还热热的。外婆常给我们做米酒蛋汤,一人一碗。现在看来,是难得的绿色无污染食品,怪不得我们家的人个个身体倍儿棒。
午后午休,她拿扇子给我们赶蚊子,怕吵醒我们,动作轻柔。我挨着她睡,她的皮肤松弛,好凉好舒服。外婆身上有种令人极度安心的味儿,可能来自棉布、花露水,或者烧饭的油烟。我问外婆,房顶上咚咚咚的是什么声音啊?她说:“是猫在跑呢,睡吧。”
厨房里用的词:
1削:削土豆皮,削苹果皮
2剥:剥花生,剥豆子,剥香蕉皮,剥桔子皮,剥大蒜皮,
3泡:泡茶,泡黄豆,把大米泡一下
4烧:烧饭;烧烤,烧茄子,红烧鱼,红烧肉
5汤:鸡汤,骨头汤,鸡蛋汤,米酒蛋汤,蔬菜汤
6油烟:做饭的时候油烟比较大;油烟机Support the show

#summer #idioms #enduretheheatofsummer
【夏天的样子】
希望夏天就是夏天的样子。对那挡也挡不住的烈日、擦也擦不干的汗水,任何人都无可奈何,所能做的只是拼命地喝水,默默地忍耐。即使如此,我仍然希望夏天就是夏天的样子。
正是有了这样的夏天,才能有秋天的收获。
这样的夏天让人难以忍受,但大自然一直在默默忍受,让万物之根牢牢地扎入大地,从暑热中吸收能量,为秋天储蓄收获的果实。如果夏天不再是夏天的样子,秋天也就不再是秋天的样子,收获的喜悦也就无从谈起。所以,我希望夏天就是酷热的夏天。
学习重点:
1.无可奈何
他无可奈何地摇了摇头说:“这件事,我真的帮不了你。”
因为没有证据,警察无可奈何,只好让他走了。
2.无从谈起
如果从来没拥有过,失去也就无从谈起。
我们之间没有信任,友情也就无从谈起。Support the show

《因为爱情》
给你一张过去的CD
听听那时我们的爱情
有时会突然忘了我还在爱着你
再唱不出那样的歌曲
听到都会红着脸躲避
虽然会经常忘了我依然爱着你
因为爱情 不会轻易悲伤
所以一切都是幸福的模样
因为爱情 简单地生长
依然随时可以为你疯狂
因为爱情 怎么会有沧桑
所以我们还是年轻的模样
因为爱情 在那个地方
依然还有人在那里游荡,人来人往
学习重点:
V+着:indicates an action or a state is continuing.
上课的时候,老师站着。
房间的门关着。
他穿着一件蓝色的衬衫。
我开着车,听着音乐。
我听着音乐跑步。
她开着窗睡觉。
他拿着花站在门口。

每年的农历五月初五,是中国的传统节日—端午节。“端”有开头、初始的意思,端午节还有很多叫法,端午节也叫端阳节、重五节、午日节、五月节、龙节、正阳节、龙舟节、天中节等等。其中端午节、端阳节的叫法最常见。端午节与春节、清明节、中秋节并称为中国四大传统节日。
端午节源于自然天象崇拜celestial phenomena worship,古人们观察天上的星星,看到由七颗星组成了一条龙的形状,把它叫做“苍龙七宿”。端午节这一天,苍龙七宿在正南方的中央,是全年最中正的位置。人们认为这一天是“飞龙在天”的吉祥日,因此“龙”这个元素会出现在端午节的习俗中。
赛龙舟是端午重要的民俗传统活动,最早是拜水神或者龙神的一种祭祀活动sacrificial activity。人们相信赛龙舟能使天上的神龙心情愉悦,保佑地上风调雨顺。后来,这个活动又融入了爱国诗人屈原的故事。据说,屈原投江时,附近的渔夫看到后都使劲儿地划船想去救他,虽然他没有被救上来,但人们为了纪念屈原都会在每年的端午节这一天举行赛龙舟活动。赛龙舟现在已经成为一项国际赛事。
在中国,在端午节人们除了赛龙舟,还要吃粽子,可能很多外国人也都知道的。中国的北方人喜欢蘸to dip白糖或红糖吃粽子,一般粽子里没有馅儿the stuffing;南方人喜欢吃咸粽子,粽子里有不同的馅儿,有的是红豆、有的是肉、有的里面还会加蛋黄。
端午节前后经常下雨,各种虫子、蚊子都比较多,天气湿热,人们容易生病,所以人们会在门口或窗口挂艾草,因为艾草的味道可以驱逐蚊虫,也可以用艾叶煮水洗澡。人们也会戴香包,也叫香囊sachet,里面装的是一些中草药,所以香囊有草药的香味。人们还会喝雄黄酒realgar wine,(是一种药酒),人们也会把雄黄酒点在皮肤上。这些方法都是为了防止蚊虫或病毒的侵扰。
另外,大人会给孩子系五色线colored lines,是由五种颜色的线拧成的。一般系在手腕或者脚腕上。这个表示希望孩子身体健康。我小时候,每年端午节外婆都会给我系五色线,在端午节后下第一场雨的时候,就把它剪断,扔在雨水里或河里,表示疾病会被雨水带走。
还有的人在端午节这一天上山采药gather herbs。因为端午节这一天阳气最足,这一天的药的效果最好。在端午节前后,你能在菜市场看到很多卖艾草的人。
最后我们听两首关于端午节的歌曲,里面有一些我刚才介绍过的词,看看你能不能听出来吧?
