    January Temperature Drop 一月降温 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    今年冬天算是一个暖冬， jīn nián | dōng tiān | suàn | shì | yī | gè | nuǎn dōng， This winter can be regarded as a mild one. 好像不是很冷， hǎo xiàng | bù | shì | hěn | lěng， It doesn't seem to be very cold. 这几天大降温了， zhè | jǐ | tiān | dà | jiàng wēn | le， The temperature has dropped sharply these days. 也许是这个冬天最冷的几天吧， yě | xǔ | shì | zhè | ge | dōng tiān | zuì | lěng | de | jǐ | tiān | ba， Maybe these are the coldest days of this winter. 熬过去，就迎来春天了。 áo | guò | qù | jiù | yíng lái | chūn tiān | le。 If we get through this, spring will come. 冬天难熬，尤其是老人和孩子， dōng tiān | nán | áo | yóu | qí | shì | lǎo rén | hé | hái zi， Winter is tough to get through, especially for the elderly and children. 小小的人，穿那么厚的衣服， xiǎo | xiǎo | de | rén | chuān | nà | me | hòu | de | yī fu， Those little ones wearing such thick clothes 像一个球，行动都费劲。 xiàng | yī | gè | qiú | xíng dòng | dōu | fèi | jìn。 look like little balls and even find it hard to move around. 今天我给两个孩子新买了羽绒服， jīn tiān | wǒ | gěi | liǎng | gè | hái zi | xīn | mǎi | le | yǔ róng fú， Today I bought new down jackets for my two kids. 我本来想着，冬天快过去了， wǒ | běn | lái | xiǎng | zhe | dōng tiān | kuài | guò | qù | le， I originally thought that winter was coming to an end soon. 就别再买冬衣了， jiù | bié | zài | mǎi | dōng yī | le， so there was no need to buy more winter clothes. 我也不喜欢羽绒服， wǒ | yě | bù | xǐ | huān | yǔ róng fú， I also don't like down jackets. 因为孩子穿特别容易脏， yīn | wèi | hái zi | chuān | tè | bié | róng | yì | zāng， Because when kids wear them, they get dirty very easily. 又特别难洗干净。 yòu | tè | bié | nán | xǐ | gān | jìng。 And they are also extremely hard to clean thoroughly. 但是为了这次降温， dàn | shì | wèi | le | zhè | cì | jiàng wēn， But because of this temperature drop, 还是买吧， hái | shì | mǎi | ba， I decided to buy them anyway. 两件羽绒服一共三百， liǎng | jiàn | yǔ róng fú | yī | gòng | sān | bǎi， The two down jackets cost three hundred yuan in total. 希望他们明年长大一岁还能穿。 xī | wàng | tā | men | míng | nián | zhǎng | dà | yī | suì | hái | néng | chuān。 I hope they can still wear them when they grow a year older next year. 我们居住的城市成都属于南方， wǒ | men | jū | zhù | de | chéng | shì | chéng dū | shǔ | yú | nán fāng， Chengdu, the city where we live, belongs to southern China. 冬天冷，没有集中供暖， dōng | tiān | lěng | méi | yǒu | jí | zhōng | gòng | nuǎn， It's cold in winter and there is no central heating. 室内比室外还冷， shì | nèi | bǐ | shì | wài | hái | lěng， The indoors is even colder than the outdoors. 现在很多人自己家里用空调或暖气。 xiàn | zài | hěn | duō | rén | zì | jǐ | jiā | lǐ | yòng | kōng tiáo | huò | nuǎn qì。 Nowadays, many people use air conditioners or heaters at home. 夏天又很热， xià | tiān | yòu | hěn | rè， And it's very hot in summer. 不算是一个很舒适的地方， bù | suàn | shì | yī | gè | hěn | shū | shì | de | dì | fāng， It can't be called a very comfortable place to live. 一些沿海城市虽然冬天不冷， yī | xiē | yán | hǎi | chéng | shì | suī | rán | dōng | tiān | bù | lěng， Although some coastal cities are not cold in winter, 但是夏天更热， dàn | shì | xià | tiān | gèng | rè， they are even hotter in summer. 而且是很潮湿的热。 ér | qiě | shì | hěn | cháo | shī | de | rè。 And it's hot with heavy humidity. 北方的城市夏天不热， běi | fāng | de | chéng | shì | xià | tiān | bù | rè， Cities in northern China are not hot in summer, 但冬天很冷，零下十几度， dàn | dōng | tiān | hěn | lěng | líng | xià | shí | jǐ | dù， but they are freezing cold in winter, with temperatures dropping to more than ten degrees below zero. 而且很干燥，也不舒服。 ér | qiě | hěn | gān | zào | yě | bù | shū | shì。 and the air is very dry, which is also uncomfortable. --------- For full transcript or 1 on 1 tutoring: yoyomo85@gmail.com

    Strawberry Season 吃草莓的季节 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    深冬，是吃草莓的季节， shēn dōng | shì | chī | cǎo méi | de | jì jié， Late winter is the season for eating strawberries. 大量的草莓上市了， dà liàng | de | cǎo méi | shàng shì | le， A large number of strawberries have come onto the market. 孩子们很喜欢吃。 hái zi men | hěn | xǐ huān | chī。 Children love eating them very much. 草莓很不易保存， cǎo méi | hěn | bù | yì | bǎo cún， Strawberries are not easy to preserve. 很容易被碰坏， hěn | róng yì | bèi | pèng huài， They are easily damaged by bumps. 保质期也很短。 bǎo zhì qī | yě | hěn | duǎn。 Their shelf life is also very short. 如果商家卖成熟得正好的草莓， rú guǒ | shāng jiā | mài | chéng shú | de | zhèng hǎo | de | cǎo méi， If merchants sell strawberries that are perfectly ripe, 那很快就坏了， nà | hěn kuài | jiù | huài | le， they will go bad very quickly. 所以很多商家卖还没完全成熟的草莓， suǒ yǐ | hěn duō | shāng jiā | mài | hái | méi | wán quán | chéng shú | de | cǎo méi， So many merchants sell strawberries that are not fully ripe. 类似于猕猴桃和芒果的卖法， lèi sì | yú | mí hóu táo | hé | máng guǒ | de | mài fǎ， similar to the way kiwis and mangoes are sold. 买回家来自己放到熟。 mǎi | huí | jiā | lái | zì jǐ | fàng | dào | shú。 You buy them home and let them ripen on your own. 我们买的草莓通常是一个小篮子装着， wǒ men | mǎi | de | cǎo méi | tōng cháng | shì | yī | gè | xiǎo | lán zi | zhuāng | zhe， The strawberries we buy are usually packed in a small basket. 一篮多少钱， yī | lán | duō shǎo | qián， sold at a fixed price per basket. 这样就避免了顾客用手去挑选。 zhè yàng | jiù | bì miǎn | le | gù kè | yòng | shǒu | qù | tiāo xuǎn。 This avoids customers picking them by hand. 每次买的里面都不可避免有几个坏了的， měi cì | mǎi | de | lǐ miàn | dōu | bù kě bì miǎn | yǒu | jǐ | gè | huài | le | de， Every time we buy a basket, there are inevitably a few rotten ones inside. 这真的很难保障。 zhè | zhēn | de | hěn | nán | bǎo zhàng。 This is really hard to guarantee. --------- For full transcript or 1 on 1 tutoring: yoyomo85@gmail.com
