【原文1】W: It is such a sort of instrumental part of our cooking vocabulary. And it is interesting that there are people who live without chopsticks. Chopsticks are a pair of two long sticks used to eat things with one hand. Holding chopsticks is a little bit like holding a pencil. Most of them are made out of wood. They’re also made out of plastic, bamboo, gold, silver and even ivory (象牙). There’s evidence of chopsticks as long ago as the Shang dynasty, which is about 3,000 years ago. Chopsticks are really well designed for eating small bits of food. They’re good for picking up noodles. If you’re skilled, you can eat rice, pick up dumplings and pieces of meat. There are some no-nos (禁忌) with chopsticks. You should not use the chopsticks like drumsticks. You don’t want to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice face-up. And it’s sort of like a sign of death. Chopsticks are used in a huge portion of the world, across much of Asia, about 1.5 billion people are covered in the chopsticks sphere (范围). Different cultures have slightly different variations of chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks will tend to be long and round; Korean chopsticks are flatter and often made of metal; Japanese chopsticks tend to be round and very, very pointy (尖的). One of the things about Asian cooking is that it often comes in very small pieces. And I think part of that has to do with the fact that it’s actually a lot more energy-efficient (节能的) to cook little pieces quickly.
【原文2】W: What do you wear when you take a trip Most of us choose comfortable clothes like T-shirts and jeans. But Wang Tata, a post-1990s office clerk in Shanghai, is different. She prefers to wear hanfu. “Wherever the scenery matches, I wear hanfu” she said.
Wang is not the only one who turns to the traditional clothing. According to the data, there were almost seven million Chinese hanfu consumers in 2021, twice the number in 2019. A recent report estimated that by the end of this year, the total sales are expected to reach 10.16 billion yuan.
For Qingzhi, a student, wearing hanfu to class every day gives her inspiration. With a history of more than 3,000 years, hanfu had different styles in different dynasties. By matching the clothing with modern accessories, she can find a unique look.
Unlike Qingzhi, Wan Yue, a mother of two, became a hanfu fan for the sense of community. Wan not only wears hanfu in her daily life, but also learns about the culture and history behind the clothing.
As a symbol of Chinese aesthetics, hanfu has made a contribution to the revival of Chinese fashion style.

W: Hello everyone! Welcome to our program. So, today I’ll talk about some big shopping events and their history.
The first one is Black Friday. This one dates back to the 1950s and falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Originally, it started as an event within stores. But now it’s an online and offline shopping festival. Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday, and it’s only for online sales. It began in 2005. Now it’s more successful than Black Friday, earning a record $9.4 billion last year. Sales tend to be on expensive technology items, like computers.
We’re all familiar with Singles Day. It dates back to the 1990s but didn’t become a shopping event until 2009. Since then, it’s become the biggest 24-hour sales event in the world. Last year, this shopping event earned $38.4 billion, beating out Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Prime Day is basically the North American version of Double 11. It was started in 2015. For shoppers like me that love small parts and home devices, Prime is a great time. But it still falls far behind Singles Day and only earned $7.16 billion last year.
【原文4】M: Have you heard about English couplets(对联) They have become a new and fashionable way to celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival. On Taobao, there are many shops selling couplets in English. A typical one reads “eat well, sleep well, have fun day by day” and “study hard, work hard, make money more and more”. Yu Runrun, who owns a Beijing shop, expects to sell about 600 sets of English couplets during the holiday season. “I began to sell English couplets four years ago,” said Yu. A set of English couplets in his shop costs 25 yuan. The price is much higher than that of a set of Chinese couplets. Mo Hao, who teaches English at a college, bought two sets of such couplets from Taobao, one for himself and the other for his colleague, Benjamin Wolken, who is from the United States. “Foreigners living in China buy English couplets to celebrate the festival. They are very special and actually quite good-looking,” Mo said. Wolken said, “I would consider making my own set, so that I can talk more about Chinese culture and language.”
