[00:00.100]	Now, the VOA
[00:12.310]	Special English program
[00:14.600]	WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
[00:16.940]	We present more
[00:18.280]	expressions about food.
[00:20.420]	They are from Elenir Scardueli,
[00:24.050]	a listener in Brazil.
[00:25.750]	My mother always told us
[00:28.490]	there is no use crying
[00:30.880]	over spilled milk.
[00:32.720]	That means you should not
[00:35.160]	get angry when something
[00:36.610]	bad happens
[00:37.810]	and cannot be changed.
[00:39.700]	People said my mother
[00:41.890]	was a good egg.
[00:43.430]	She would always
[00:44.930]	help anyone in need.
[00:46.720]	We never had to walk
[00:48.710]	on eggshells around her.
[00:50.650]	We did not have to be careful
[00:52.650]	about what we said or did
[00:54.690]	because she never got angry at us.
[00:57.770]	She also told us you have to
[01:01.460]	break some eggs to make an omelet.
[01:04.300]	This means you have to do
[01:07.090]	what is necessary to move forward.
[01:09.680]	My mother believed
[01:11.870]	you are what you eat.
[01:13.860]	A good diet is important
[01:16.550]	for good health.
[01:17.790]	She would always give us
[01:19.980]	nutritious food.
[01:21.220]	She liked serving us meat
[01:24.010]	and potatoes for dinner.
[01:25.700]	Meat and potatoes can also mean
[01:29.340]	the most important part of something.
[01:31.680]	It describes someone
[01:34.160]	who likes simple things.
[01:36.000]	Here is another expression
[01:38.440]	about meat: one man's meat
[01:41.280]	is another man's poison.
[01:43.170]	In other words, one person might
[01:46.650]	like something very much
[01:48.170]	while another person
[01:50.210]	might hate the same thing.
[01:51.900]	My father was also a good
[01:56.030]	and honest person.
[01:57.220]	People said he was the salt
[02:00.170]	of the earth.
[02:01.610]	He would never pour salt
[02:03.650]	on a wound, or make someone
[02:05.740]	feel worse about something
[02:08.080]	that was already
[02:09.630]	a painful experience.
[02:11.270]	However, sometimes
[02:13.960]	he told us a story that
[02:16.540]	seemed bigger than life.
[02:18.190]	So we had to take it
[02:21.430]	with a grain of salt.
[02:23.020]	That is, we could not
[02:25.520]	believe everything he told us.
[02:27.690]	My husband has a good job.
[02:30.980]	He makes enough money
[02:33.270]	to support our family.
[02:34.910]	So we say he brings home the bacon.
[02:38.990]	He can cut the mustard,
[02:41.590]	or do what is expected of him at work.
[02:45.520]	It is easy to find my husband
[02:48.350]	in a crowd.
[02:49.310]	He stands almost two meters tall.
[02:52.440]	He is a tall drink of water.
[02:55.430]	I take the train to work.
[02:58.420]	It is not a pleasant ride
[03:00.870]	because the train
[03:02.310]	can be full of people.
[03:04.100]	It is so crowded that
[03:07.190]	we are packed like sardines
[03:08.680]	– just like small fish in a can.
[03:12.010]	My supervisor at work
[03:16.390]	is sometimes out to lunch.
[03:18.730]	She is out of touch
[03:21.120]	and does not always know
[03:23.610]	what is going on in our office.
[03:26.300]	Yet she is right about one thing:
[03:29.330]	there is no such thing
[03:31.680]	as a free lunch.
[03:33.670]	Something may appear
[03:36.210]	to be free of charge,
[03:37.900]	but there may be a hidden cost.
[03:40.890]	When we fail to see problems
[03:45.390]	at work, my supervisor tells us
[03:48.880]	to wake up and smell the coffee.
[03:51.820]	We need to pay more attention
[03:54.660]	and fix the problem.
[03:56.410]	I once made a big mistake
[04:00.060]	at the office and felt foolish.
[04:02.300]	I had egg on my face.
[04:04.190]	Over the weekend,
[04:06.180]	my friend invited me to watch
[04:09.110]	a football game on television.
[04:10.810]	But I do not like football.
[04:14.100]	It is not my cup of tea.
[04:16.690]	We hope this program
[04:19.680]	has given you food for thought,
[04:22.070]	that is, something to think about.

[00:12.310]	慢速英语节目
[00:14.600]	单词与他们的故事
[00:16.940]	我们现在又更多的
[00:18.280]	关于食物的表达
[00:20.420]	他们是从
[00:24.050]	一位巴西的听众
[00:25.750]	我妈妈总是告诉我们
[00:28.490]	哭是没用的（后面那个是spilt ）
[00:30.880]	唉呀这是一句话怎么分开了，：为了撒掉的牛奶哭泣是没有的。就是说:事已至此,徒悲无益
[00:32.720]	哪意味着你不应该
[00:35.160]	当（下面那句）时生气
[00:36.610]	发生坏的事情
[00:37.810]	却又无法改变
[00:39.700]	大家都说我妈妈
[00:41.890]	是个好人
[00:43.430]	她总是在
[00:44.930]	给予帮助在别人需要时
[00:46.720]	我们根本无需
[00:48.710]	在她周围小心翼翼地
[00:50.650]	我们不用异常谨慎，
[00:52.650]	在说话和做事时
[00:54.690]	因为她从来不生我们的气
[00:57.770]	她还教我们
[01:01.460]	有所得必有所失
[01:04.300]	意思是要有
[01:07.090]	长远眼光
[01:09.680]	妈妈认为
[01:11.870]	食如其人
[01:13.860]	良好的饮食习惯很重要
[01:16.550]	对健康
[01:17.790]	她总是让我们
[01:19.980]	吃营养丰富的食物。
[01:21.220]	她喜欢给我们吃肉
[01:24.010]	和土豆在晚餐时
[01:25.700]	肉和土豆还代表
[01:29.340]	事物最重要的部分。
[01:31.680]	也可用来指一个
[01:34.160]	喜欢简单事物的人。
[01:36.000]	另一个短语是
[01:38.440]	和肉有关的：甲之蜜糖，
[01:41.280]	乙之砒霜
[01:43.170]	换句话说，一个人可能
[01:46.650]	非常喜欢某样东西，
[01:48.170]	而另一个人
[01:50.210]	却非常讨厌这种东西。
[01:51.900]	爸爸也是一个诚实
[01:56.030]	又善良的人。
[01:57.220]	人们说他是好人
[02:00.170]	、栋梁。
[02:01.610]	他绝不会撒盐
[02:03.650]	在别人的伤口上，或让某人
[02:05.740]	关于什么事情感到更加的悲伤
[02:08.080]	这已经是
[02:09.630]	一个痛苦的经历
[02:11.270]	然而，有时
[02:13.960]	他会给我们讲一些
[02:16.540]	脱离生活的故事
[02:18.190]	因此，我们必须
[02:21.430]	加以分析
[02:23.020]	也就是说，我们不能
[02:25.520]	对他一味相信。
[02:27.690]	我丈夫有个很好的工作
[02:30.980]	他赚很多的钱
[02:33.270]	来支撑我们的家庭
[02:34.910]	所以我们说他挣钱养家
[02:38.990]	他能在工作上达到要求
[02:41.590]	或在工作中的预期。
[02:45.520]	中很容易找到我老公
[02:48.350]	在人群
[02:49.310]	身高近两米，
[02:52.440]	他是个大块头
[02:55.430]	我乘火车去上班，
[02:58.420]	这可不是个愉快的旅程，
[03:00.870]	因为火车
[03:02.310]	那上满是人。
[03:04.100]	那是如此的拥挤
[03:07.190]	火车上的人挤得像沙丁鱼
[03:08.680]	就像罐子里的小鱼。
[03:12.010]	我的上司
[03:16.390]	有时候神志不清
[03:18.730]	会犯迷糊，
[03:21.120]	总是不知道
[03:23.610]	办公室发生了什么。
[03:26.300]	不过她在一件事上是对的，
[03:29.330]	天下没有
[03:31.680]	免费的午餐
[03:33.670]	当某事看起来
[03:36.210]	像是免费的
[03:37.900]	但是那里有些隐藏的花费
[03:40.890]	当我们看不到问题时，
[03:45.390]	在工作中的，上司就告诉我们
[03:48.880]	清醒点
[03:51.820]	我们需要注意力更集中些，
[03:54.660]	来解决问题。
[03:56.410]	我曾犯下大错
[04:00.060]	在办公室，感到很蠢
[04:02.300]	，感到很难堪

[04:22.070]	让你有所思考。
