(Yǒu yītiān, mǒu rén wǎnshàng xiàbān huí sùshè, zài yī lóu ànle diàntī, tā yào shàng liù lóu. Hěn xìngyùn de, diàntī yīxià zi jiù láile.)

升啊，升啊，到了四楼的时候，电梯突然打开了，有两个人在外面探头探脑的，意思是想要进来，可不知道为什么看了看又没有进来。(Shēng a, shēng a, dàole sì lóu de shíhòu,diàntī túrán dǎkāile, yǒu liǎng gèrén zài wàimiàntàntóutànnǎo de, yìsi shì xiǎng yào jìnlái, kěbù zhīdàowèishéme kànle kàn yòu méiyǒu jìnlái.)

电梯门又关上了，就在电梯门要关上的时候，这个人清楚的听到他们在说：“怎么这么多人啊！”(Diàntī mén yòu guānshàngle, jiùzài diàntī mén yào guānshàng de shíhòu, zhège rén qīngchǔ de tīng dào tāmen zài shuō:“Zěnme zhème duō rén a!”)

One night, a man returned to his dormafter getting off work. He pressed the elevator button on the first floor, wanting to go to the sixth floor. Luckily, the elevator came immediately. He walked in and found it empty. The elevator closed as soon as he walked in. It went up and up. When it reached the fourth floor, the elevator suddenly opened. Two people were standing just outside the elevator, looking as though they wanted to come in, but for some reason they didn't enter. The elevator door closed again. Just as it was about to close, the man clearly heard them say, "Why are there so many people?"

October 06, 2024 Minisode: 伸手不见五指。。。
Has it ever been so dark you couldn't see anything at all, not even your own hand in front of your face? In Chinese there's a very similar expression. In the spirit of Halloween,
let's get a bit dark for this minisode, and upgrade our Chinese from 太暗了 to 暗得伸手不见五指吧！
伸手不见五指（Shēnshǒu bùjiàn wǔzhǐ）
Can't see your hand in front of your face
Vicky's Translation:
所以你在上海的时候，曾经去到过一个很有意思的咖啡馆。这个咖啡馆的名字很有意思，叫做黑暗咖啡馆。它其实是一个餐馆，然后你进去了以后，发现里面伸手不见五指。那人怎么吃饭呢？
Suǒyǐ nǐ zài Shànghǎi de shíhòu, céngjīng qù
dàoguò yīgè hěn yǒuyìsi de kāfēi guǎn. Zhège kāfēi guǎn de míngzì hěn yǒuyìsi, jiàozuò Hēi'àn Kāfēi Guǎn. Tā qíshí shì yīgè cānguǎn, ránhòu nǐ jìnqùle yǐhòu, fāxiàn lǐmiàn shēnshǒu bùjiàn wǔzhǐ. Nà rén zěnme chīfàn
ne?
So when you were in Shanghai, you went to a very interesting cafe. The name of this cafe is also very interesting - it was called Dark Cafe. It is actually a restaurant, and when you go in, you find that it is pitch dark inside. How do people eat?

所以你吃的是西餐，然后你看不见，什么都看不见，只能摸着吃。那这个餐馆的服务员，他们的工作很难做吧？
Suǒyǐ nǐ chī de shì xīcān, ránhòu nǐ kàn bùjiàn,
shénme dōu kàn bùjiàn, zhǐ néng mōzhe chī. Nà zhège cānguǎn de fúwùyuán, tāmen de gōngzuò hěn nán zuò ba?
So you eat Western food, and you can't see anything, you can only eat by touch. Then the waiters in this restaurant, their job is difficult, right?

这个很有意思，就是说餐馆里的服务生都是盲人，所以他们对于这个工作环境很熟悉，然后对于顾客来说，就是一个人搭在另外一个人的肩膀上，像开一辆火车一样，把每个客人带到自己的位置上。听起来很有意思，我也很期待，想去这样一家餐厅去体验一下.
Zhège hěn yǒuyìsi, jiùshì shuō cānguǎn lǐ de fúwù
shēng dōu shì mángrén, suǒyǐ tāmen duìyú zhège gōngzuò huánjìng hěn shúxī, ránhòu duìyú gùkè lái shuō, jiùshì yīgè rén dā zài lìngwài yīgè rén de jiānbǎng shàng, xiàng kāi yī liàng huǒchē yīyàng, bǎ měi gè kèrén
dài dào zìjǐ de wèizhì shàng. Tīng qǐlái hěn yǒuyìsi, wǒ yě hěn qídài, xiǎng qù zhèyàng yījiā cāntīng qù tǐyàn yīxià.
This is very interesting. The waiters in the restaurant are all blind, so they are very familiar with the working environment. For the customers, one person puts his hand on the other person's shoulders like a train and are led to their seats. It sounds very interesting. I want to go to such a restaurant to experience it.

September 29, 2024Listening/Speech Training: The Benefits of Coffee & Green Tea
The Benefits of Drinking Coffee
大部分人喝咖啡是为了让自己保持精力旺盛。但其实，有些人喝咖啡是为了健身能有更好的效果。
不少健身的人每天会喝多杯咖啡。这是因为咖啡因可以提高人体无氧运动的能力，可以让身体更快速进入运动状态。这种改变对普通人而言可能作用不大，但对于健身狂热者而言，喝咖啡可以让他们的健身效率大大提高。
不过，除了健身的人，医生不建议普通人为了其他的目的尝试一天内喝多杯咖啡。人体消耗咖啡因的速度有限。普通人喝一杯咖啡摄入的咖啡因大概率到第二天早上还没有被消耗掉。

Most people drink coffee to keep themselves energetic. But in fact, some people drink coffee to achieve better results in fitness. Many people who work out drink multiple cups of coffee every day. This is because caffeine can improve the body's anaerobic exercise capacity and allow the body to enter an exercise state more quickly. This change may not have much effect on the average person, but for fitness fanatics, drinking coffee can greatly improve their fitness efficiency. However, except for people who work out, doctors do not recommend that ordinary people try to drink multiple cups of coffee a day for other purposes. The human body can only consume caffeine at a limited rate. The caffeine that an average person ingests by drinking a cup of coffee will most likely still be in one’s system the next morning.

1. The Joy of Learning: 学习的乐趣
学习是一件很有趣的事。很多人一提到用心学习，就觉得这是没有可能的，因为他们认为学习是一件不是很有趣的事情。其实当你找到你喜欢的学科之后，你就会开始认为学习是有趣的了。
在学习上，遇到简单的问题会觉得是一种复习，遇到困难的问题时，会觉得是一种挑战。

Learning is a very interesting thing. Many people think that it is impossible to focus on studying because they think that it's not very interesting. In fact, when you find a subject you like, you will start to think that learning is interesting. While studying, when you encounter simple problems, you will feel that it is review, and when you encounter difficult ones, you will feel that it is a challenge.
