Vicky is back and very shortly we'll be making some new podcast episodes. Until then we'd like to share with you some of the places Vicky went to during her trip, one of which was Barcelona, Spain. In this video, she is showing us the views at the Sagrada Family Basilica, one of Spain's most iconic buildings.

Here is the full transcript:

巴塞罗那圣家族大教堂（Sagrada Familia）是西班牙最具代表性的建筑之一

(Bāsèluónà shèng jiāzú dà jiàotáng (Sagrada Familia) shì xībānyá zuì jù dàibiǎo xìng de jiànzhu zhī yī )

The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of Spain’s most iconic buildings.

它是世界上独特的现代主义建筑和哥特式建筑的融合，被誉为“建筑中的奇迹”

(Tā shì shìjiè shàng dútè de xiàndài zhǔyì jiànzhu hé gē tè shì jiànzhu de rónghé, bèi yù wèi “jiànzhu zhōng de qíjì”)

It is one of the world’s unique blends of Modernist and Gothic architecture, known as a “miracle in architecture.”

教堂外立面讲述了基督教的不同故事，每个细节都经过精心雕琢

(Jiàotáng wài lì miàn jiǎngshùle jīdūjiào de bùtóng gùshì, měi gè xìjié dōu jīngguò jīngxīn diāozhuó)

The facade of the church tells different stories of Christianity, with each detail carefully crafted.

在其外墙和内部结构上也融入了许多自然元素，如树木、花朵、动物等，使建筑整体呈现出生动的自然氛围.

(Zài qí wài qiáng hé nèibù jiégòu shàng yě róngrùle xǔduō zìrán yuánsù, rú shùmù, huāduǒ, dòngwù děng, shǐ jiànzhú zhěngtǐ chéngxiàn chū shēngdòng de zìrán fēnwéi)

Many natural elements, such as trees, flowers, and animals, are incorporated into the exterior walls and internal structure, creating a lively natural ambiance

教堂由著名建筑师安东尼·高迪（Antoni Gaudí）设计.

(Jiàotáng yóu zhùmíng jiànzhu shī āndōngní·gāo dí (Antoni Gaudí) shèjì)

The church was designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí.

高迪在设计时强调建筑的高度，象征接近天堂

(Gāo dí zài shèjì shí qiángdiào jiànzhu de gāodù, xiàngzhēng jiējìn tiāntáng)

Gaudí emphasized the height of the structure in his design, symbolizing closeness to heaven.

同时也致力于用建筑表达他对宗教和自然的深刻理解

(Tóngshí yě zhìlì yú yòng jiànzhu biǎodá tā duì zōngjiào hé zìrán de shēnkè lǐjiě)

At the same time, he also devoted himself to using architecture to express his profound understanding of religion and nature.

教堂的柱子如同大树般向上延展，象征生命的繁荣与自然的力量

(Jiàotáng de zhùzǐ rútóng dà shù bān xiàngshàng yánzhǎn, xiàngzhēng shēngmìng de fánróng yǔ zìrán de lìliàng)

The columns stretch upwards like trees, symbolizing the prosperity of life and the power of nature.

彩色玻璃在阳光照射下，投射出五彩斑斓的光影

(Cǎisè bōlí zài yángguāng zhàoshè xià, tóushè chū wǔcǎi bānlán de guāngyǐng)

The stained glass windows cast colorful lights and shadows under sunlight

东侧的多为暖色调，如红色和橙色，象征着清晨的阳光与希望

(Dōng cè de duō wèi nuǎn sèdiào, rú hóngsè hé chéngsè, xiàngzhēngzhe qīngchén de yángguāng yǔ xīwàng)

The glass on the east side is mostly in warm tones, like red and orange, symbolizing the morning sunlight and hope.

西侧的则以冷色调为主，如蓝色和绿色，象征黄昏的平静与安宁

(Xī cè de zé yǐ lěng sèdiào wéi zhǔ, rú lán sè hé lǜsè, xiàngzhēng huánghūn de píngjìng yǔ ānníng)

The glass on the west side is mainly in cool tones, like blue and green, symbolizing the calm and tranquility of dusk.

圣家堂的修建始于1882年，预计在21世纪20年代完工

(Shèng jiā táng de xiūjiàn shǐ yú 1882 nián, yùjì zài 21 shìjì 20 niándài wángōng.)

Construction of the Sagrada Familia began in 1882 and is expected to be completed in the 2020s.

即使目前仍未完工，这座教堂也已成为巴塞罗那最重要的地标之一

(Jíshǐ mùqián réng wèi wángōng, zhè zuò jiàotáng yě yǐ chéngwéi bāsèluónà zuì zhòngyào de dìbiāo zhī yī)

Even though it is still unfinished, this church has already become one of Barcelona’s most important landmarks.

其独特的建筑风格使其成为世界文化遗产，吸引了全球游客前来一睹其风采

(Qí dútè de jiànzhu fēnggé shǐ qí chéngwéi shìjiè wénhuà yíchǎn, xīyǐnle quánqiú yóukè qián lái yī dǔ qí fēngcǎi)

Its unique architectural style has made it a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting visitors from all over the world to witness its splendor.

Restaurant Review:

今天来打卡的这家金春禧，专做经典传统鲁菜，走进大厅就可以看到明亮的落地窗，窗外可以看到大海，海景的座位都是需要提前预定的，水饺是这里的特色，口味种类也很多，各种海鲜馅料，都是当天调制，现包现煮，糖醋鱼是特色，酸甜的汤汁，肉质细腻，蟹黄干捞粉丝煲也特别入味，喜欢吃鲁菜的朋友可以去试一下.

Translation:

The restaurant, Jin Chun Xi I visited today, specializes in classic traditional Shandong cuisine. As you enter the lobby, you can see bright floor-to-ceiling windows, from which you can view the ocean. Seats with ocean views need to be reserved in advance. Dumplings are the specialty here, and there are many flavors and a variety of seafood fillings. They are all prepared on the same day, wrapped and cooked fresh. Sweet and sour fish is a specialty, with sweet and sour soup and delicate meat. The crab roe and vermicelli casserole is also very flavorful. Those who like Shandong cuisine can go and give it a try.

What a Rip-Off!

一点不正宗，特意来吃枣庄辣子鸡，结果做成了新疆大盘鸡，竟然内脏一块都没有，还敢自称一只整鸡，竟然收费118，真是坑！！！

Yīdiǎn bù zhèngzōng, tèyì lái chī zǎozhuāng làzǐ jī, jiéguǒ zuò chéngle xīnjiāng dàpán jī, jìngrán nèizàng yīkuài dōu méiyǒu, hái gǎn zìchēng yī zhǐ zhěng jī, jìngrán shōufèi 118, zhēnshi kēng!!

Not authentic at all. I came here specifically to eat Zaozhuang spicy chicken, but it turned out to be Xinjiang big plate chicken, without even a piece of internal organs. They still dared to call it a whole chicken, but charged 118, what a rip-off!!!

金春禧的一个差评：

几周前，我和我的朋友Max看了一篇关于金春禧的好评。下周，我的好朋友Kapa Zhao和我将讨论一篇负面评论，这篇评论是由一位没有得到他所期望的客户写的。与此同时，Vicky也去了一趟青岛，亲自去参观了这家历史悠久的餐厅，决定自己做出判断。你怎么看呢？根据我们的第一次评论和你看到的内容，如果你有机会到青岛，中国，你会考虑去这家餐厅吗？

Jǐ zhōu qián, wǒ hé wǒ de péngyǒu Max kànle yī piān guānyú Jīnchūn Xǐ de hǎo pínglùn. Xià zhōu, wǒ de hǎo péngyǒu Kapa Zhao hé wǒ jiāng tǎolùn yī piān fùmiàn pínglùn。 Zhè piān pínglùn shì yóu yī wèi méiyǒu dédào tā suǒ qīwàng de kèhù xiě de.

A couple weeks ago, my friend Max and I looked at a positive review written for Jin Chun Xi. Next week, my good friend Kapa Zhao and I will discuss a negative review written by a customer who didn't quite get what he was hoping for. In the meantime, Vicky took a trip of her own to go check out this well established restaurant in Qing Dao and decide for herself. What do you think? Based on our first review and what you see here, is this a place you would likely visit if you ever find yourself in Qing Dao, China?

幸灾乐祸 (Xìng zāi lè huò)

Lindi: 你听说了吗？小李失业了。(Nǐ tīng shuōle ma? Xiǎo lǐ shīyèle.) Have you heard? Xiao Li lost his job.

Vicky: 是啊，我知道。其实我觉得他有点活该。(Shì a, wǒ zhīdào. Qíshí wǒ juédé tā yǒudiǎn huógāi.) Yes I know. Actually I think he deserves it.

Lindi: 你怎么会这么说？(Nǐ zěnme huì zhème shuō?) How can you say that?

Vicky: 他总是看别人不顺眼，现在轮到他了，幸灾乐祸嘛。(Tā zǒng shì kàn biérén bù shùnyǎn, xiànzài lún dào tāle, xìngzāilèhuò ma.) He’s always giving people the side-eye, now he’s gotten his. Too bad for him.

Lindi: 这样不好吧，应该同情他。(Zhèyàng bù hǎo ba, yīnggāi tóngqíng tā.) That’s not right – we should sympathize with him.

Join my friend and Chinese teacher Max, as she walks us through a real review written about a restaurant in QingDao.

对话：

Vicky – 我昨天晚上去了一家新的酒吧，很有小资情调。(Wǒ zuótiān wǎnshàng qùle yījiā xīn de jiǔbā, hěn yǒu xiǎozī qíngdiào.) I went to a new bar last night, it was very bougie.

Lindi – 哦是吗？这家酒吧有什么特别的？(ó shì ma? Zhè jiā jiǔbā yǒu shé me tèbié de?) Oh really? What was unique about this bar?

Vicky – 它每个周某都有现场的音乐。特别是它的爵士乐，非常好听。有机会我带你去看一看。(Tā měi gè zhōu mǒu dōu yǒu xiànchǎng de yīnyuè. Tèbié shì tā de juéshìyuè, fēicháng hǎotīng. Yǒu jīhuì wǒ dài nǐ qù kàn yī kàn.) They have live music every week. Their jazz music is especially good. If we get chance sometime soon I’ll take you to go check it out.

Lindi – 太好了！(tài hǎole!) Great!

Supplementary words/phrases:

小资情调：

它本来的意思就是说：中产阶级 – 他追求精致和有品位生活的这种生活方式叫“小资情调”。

It originally comes from: The Middle Class - the pursuit of a refined and tasteful lifestyle (of some people in the middle class) which came to be known as “petty bourgeoisie”

"Zi" refers to “assets” – “Zī chǎn” - “ Jiē jí” refers to “social class”.

“Zīchǎn jiējí” – is known as the “petty bourgeoise class”

资本主义 (Zīběn zhǔyì) - Capitalism

资本主义者 (Zīběn zhǔyì zhě) Capitalist

"情调" – 很有情调。(Qíngdiào – hěn yǒu qíngdiào) – Sentiment – Very Sentimental)

Example Sentences:

这个人，她很有小资情调。(Zhège rén, tā hěn yǒu xiǎozī qíngdiào.) This person is very bougie.

措手不及

小李：你听说了吗？公司要裁员！(Xiǎo Lǐ: Nǐ tīng shuōle ma? Gōngsī yào cáiyuán!)

Have you heard? The company’s about to go through lay-offs.

小张：真的？我完全措手不及！(Xiǎo Zhāng: Zhēn de? Wǒ wánquán cuòshǒubùjí! )

Really? I was totally unaware!

小李：是啊，昨天还正常开会，今天就来了这个消息。(Shì a, zuótiān hái zhèngcháng kāihuì, jīntiān jiù láile zhège xiāoxī.) Yes, just yesterday we had our meeting as usual, but today got the news.
