奥斯卡颁奖典礼主持人突然说中文，颁奖典礼秒变求职现场…
主播：Flora（中国）+ Maelle（法国）音乐：Greatest Day最近有这样一条热搜：美国时间3月2日晚，在第97届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上（The 97th Oscars），主持人Conan O'Brien（柯南·奥布莱恩）在主持的时候突然说起了中文，颁奖现场秒变求职现场了。Conan O'Brien: ... And for those of you watching from China, I am in serious financial debt. Please consider using me in your many films. I beg you. Thank you! (English subtitles)01. 为何主持人在颁奖典礼飚中文？Actually the clip (片段) didn't show all of his speech because the host actually greeted people from different countries in three different languages, not only Chinese. But when he spoke Chinese, he was asking for a job.02. In financial debt 负债It means owing money to someone or a bank.For example, if you borrow $100 and you haven't paid it back (还没有偿还) yet, then you are in financial debt.in serious financial debt 负债累累For example, if someone lost his job and couldn't pay his mortgage (抵押), his credit card bills (信用卡账单) or his student loan she or she would be in serious financial debt.debt-free 没有负债03. Please consider using me! 请考虑聘用我!Consider means “to think about”. Maybe the host was applying for a job from Chinese film producers.Please consider my application. (更正式) 请考虑我的申请。Count me in! (更随意) 算我一个！If you are actively pursuing an opportunity, you could say:I’d like to take on this challenge and show what l can do. 我想接受这个挑战，展示我的能力。I’m ready to take this on- just please give me a chance. 我已经准备好接受这个任务了，请给我一个机会吧！04. I beg you! “球球了！”- A dramatic way to say “Please”Maelle personally never uses this. She thinks here Conan O'Brien said “l beg you.” to add to the humor (增加幽默感).表达请求更常见的说法是：Would you mind...? 你介意......吗？For example, would you mind contacting the client for me (你介意帮我联系客户吗)?I'd really appreciate it if you help me... 如果你能帮我......我非常感激。For example, I'd really appreciate it if you help me clean the dishes. It’s definitely a good way to ask for help.As we can see with what happened at Oscars, Conan O'Brien surprised everyone by suddenly speaking Chinese! But he didn’t stop there—he actually greeted the audience in three different languages (他用三种不同的语言向观众问好). What made it even funnier was the way he greeted the Chinese audience—it was full of his classic humor!But this kind of humor is not common in a Chinese context.但为什么主持人说中文的时候，风格完全不同于前两种语言的正式问候呢？也许是因为《哪吒2》火出圈了，让海外观众看到了中国电影市场的巨大潜力吧！自从票房破百亿之后，我们的“小哪吒”目前在全球票房榜排名第七。希望这部作品不仅能在中国市场继续发光发热，也能在全球范围内吸引更多观众，为中国动画电影树立新的标杆！

《哪吒2》英文翻译：“急急如律令”可不是“quickly quickly biu biu biu”
主播：Flora（中国）+ Erin（美国）音乐：《哪吒之魔童闹海》电影角色曲：就是哪吒上期节目我们聊到了哪吒2的一些台词（《哪吒2》真这么好看？网友：台词共鸣让人泪目...），这一期我们继续聊聊这部电影的台词翻译。Erin went to see it right after it aired. She had been hearing so much about Nezha.“Aired” means “people can watch it.” Erin really enjoyed the first movie, so she was very excited for the second one.Flora would say the second one is definitely a good one.If you didn't watch the movie right after it aired, but saw it two days later, you can say: “I watched the movie two days after it came out.”If you've already watched the movie, when did you see it?Erin went with her friends since she is at college, but her family also went to watch it.接下来，我们就来聊一聊《哪吒2》中的台词翻译。01 “急急如律令！”前段时间有人说《哪吒2》里面“急急如律令”翻译成了“Quickly quickly biu biu biu!” It’s actually a rumor (谣言).Erin didn’t remember how it was translated, but some viewers shared after watching that. They said that was “swift and uplift.”“急急如律令”这句咒语意思其实是“立即执行命令，不得有误，违者必究”。Swift means fast or quick.Uplift means to make someone or something feel better, stronger. 所以说“swift and uplift”意思是“迅速提高法力、提升能量”，而且还很押韵。Some say we should just use "Ji Ji Ru Lu Ling" as it is, so English speakers can get used to the original sound of the spell (适应原声咒语).For example, in Harry Potter, Voldemort’s spell “Avada Kedavra” is hard to say, but Chinese fans still learned it and use it all the time. "Avada Kedavra" is tricky to pronounce, but we still picked it up (掌握) easily. Now, every Harry Potter fan can say“阿瓦达啃大瓜” without thinking twice.02 打油诗翻译Another cool example is Ne Zha's little poem. 哪吒的一首打油诗 little poem. It went viral on short videos.我乃哪吒三太子I am Nezha, the Third Prince bold!能降妖来会作诗I slay the demons, I write in rhyme untold.今日到此除奸恶Today I come to rid the evil's breath.尔等妖孽快受死You wicked fiends, prepare for death!That was really catchy! 非常朗朗上口！The English version is really catchy, too! The rhyming words—like "bold/untold" and "breath/death"—were picked on purpose (选词讲究).It’s like old-school English poetry(古典英语诗歌) but still keeps the original meaning. It’s a great example of how translation can be both accurate and creative (兼具准确性和创造性). It’s really well done. 03 “一身正气”Other parts of the movie show the same careful thinking. For example, the phrase “一身正气,” which means someone who’s full of righteousness(正义), got two different translations:In the full movie: “Giving off a righteous vibe (散发一种正义的气息).”In the trailer: “He is all about righteousness (完全是正义的化身)!”Why did they make two versions?Erin thinks the movie version sounds more poetic (有诗意), while the trailer just focuses on the meaning —both are right, but one might sound cooler or fit better in the scene (更符合场景). One is more catchy, and another one makes more sense in the context (更切合语境).When Chinese works go global, translation is a huge challenge. It needs to make sense to international audiences while keeping the essence (精髓) of Chinese culture.Do you remember what these mean?Come out—— I watch the movie right after it came out.Swift and uplift！Catchy—— That was really catchy!Righteousness——He is all about righteousness!What’s your favorite translation from Nezha 2?Share it with us in the comments!一席英语正在招聘全职英语老师，英语发音地道，英语专业优先（不过非英语专业但英语优秀者也可应聘）。工作内容涵盖教学教研以及一席英语节目录制。另外，山东一席书院也在招聘国学老师，热爱中华传统文化，并有一定造诣者，或是相关专业优秀毕业生都可应聘，我们会进行系统培养。汉语语言文学、历史专业等国学相关专业者优先。我们的工作地点在山东省青岛市，招聘详情请查看“一席文化”公众号，期待更多优秀人才加入我们！

BRB、IDK、FOMO？这些英文网络热词你都懂吗？
主播：Wendi（中国）+ Selah（美国）音乐：That’s So True网络用语已经成为社交媒体、聊天甚至邮件中不可或缺的一部分。在本期节目中我们一起来学一下一些常用的英文网络用语。Let’s dive into some common ones and how they’re used.LOLLOL = laughing out loud，有点像我们中文里的“哈哈哈”，在说很搞笑的事的时候可以用 LOL。LOL isn’t always used literally. Sometimes people use it just to show that they’re being friendly or casual, even if they’re not actually laughing out loud. 有时候在一句话后面加一个“哈哈哈”或者 LOL 只是为了表示友好或者缓解尴尬，并不是真的觉得好笑。BRBBRB = be right back，表示“稍等一下，马上回来”。通常在需要暂停对话但很快会回来的时候使用。BTWBTW = by the way，相当于我们说的“对了”或者“另外”。例如：“BTW, did you see that new movie?”OMGOMG = Oh my God，表示惊讶或者感叹，相当于“我的天哪！”IDKIDK = I don’t know，意思是“我不知道”。例如：“IDK what time the movie starts.”YOLOYOLO = you only live once，意思是“人生只有一次”，通常用来鼓励别人去尝试新事物或者抓住机会。例如：“Come on, just do it, YOLO!”贾玲的那部电影《热辣滚烫》的英文名就是用的YOLO。FOMOFOMO = fear of missing out，表示“害怕错过某些有趣的事情”。例如：“Wow, you all went on vacation? I had such bad FOMO!”TBHTBH = to be honest，意思是“讲实话”。例如：“TBH, I didn’t really like that movie.”SMHSMH = shaking my head，表示失望或者不敢相信某件事。例如：“SMH, I can’t believe he said that.”FYIFYI = for your information，表示“供你参考”。例如：“FYI, the game starts at 5pm.”SlaySlay = 表现得非常出色，相当于“秒杀全场”。例如：“You slayed that presentation!”No capNo cap = 真的，不夸张。例如：“No cap, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had!”BaeBae = before anyone else，一般用于称呼伴侣。例如：“I’m going out with my bae tonight.”LitLit = 很棒，很精彩。例如：“That party last night was so lit!”SusSus = suspicious 的缩写，表示“可疑的”。LowkeyLowkey = 表示某事并不想让太多人知道，有“悄悄的、暗戳戳的”意思。例如：“I lowkey love this song.”这些网络用语随着时间不断变化，年轻人也总是在创造新的表达方式。每个时代都有自己的流行语。如果你知道更多有趣的网络用语，欢迎在评论区分享！欢迎大家到喜马拉雅、网易云和小红书收听我们的新节目《一席双语晚安日历》，我们下期再见！See you next time！

DeepSeek爆火登顶，它的这些回复神了
主播：Flora（中国）+ 梅莉（法国）音乐：Hiding In The Blue今天我们要聊的话题相信大家不会陌生，它就是春节期间火爆全网的AI助手——DeepSeek。01. How did it suddenly get so popular? DeepSeek为何突然爆火？During the Spring Festival, it’s literally everywhere. People are calling it the next big thing in AI. Flora wasn’t really paying attention at first, but once it went viral, she had to download it and give it a try.She thinks it’s super easy to use, and the answers are really spot-on (准确). DeepSeek刚推出没多久就成了苹果商店最热门的免费应用，单日下载量甚至超过了ChatGPT（It overtook ChatGPT in downloads）！That’s huge! OpenAI has been leading (引领) the AI industry for a while now.So DeepSeek has excited the Chinese tech industry and caught the attention of users worldwide. 02. What makes it different from other AIs?这个AI有何特别之处？Is it just another chatbot? That’s the key question! 要说和其他AI的不同点的话，其实它最大的优势是计算效率高—it runs on lower costs than OpenAI’s models, yet delivers comparable performance (但是性能不相上下). 换句话说，它的“性价比”非常高。Cheaper to develop, yet just as powerful. That’s a game-changer.Another major strength is its deep understanding of Chinese. Even though many Western AIs support multiple languages (多种语言), they often struggle with cultural nuances (难以掌握文化细微差别). 很多ChatGPT的中国用户反映它对中文的理解还有欠缺；DeepSeek, on the other hand, is particularly good at processing Chinese language and context (处理中文语言和语境).Western AIs, while multilingual, often miss cultural references (忽略文化背景). Probably we should test how well it understands slang.03. What’s it like to use DeepSeek? DeepSeek的使用体验怎么样？Flora在春节期间也体验了一下DeepSeek。What stood out to her most is that before giving you an answer, it actually takes the time to analyze the question first (它会先分析问题). It doesn’t just throw out a result—it walks you through its thought process (引导你了解它的思考过程).So instead of just giving an answer, it actually explains how it got there.04. Fun interactions with DeepSeek和DeepSeek的有趣互动（1）网友问DeepSeek：普通打工人用你，能涨工资吗？That’s a very practical question! Who doesn’t want a salary boost (加薪)? 大家都想知道AI能不能帮自己多赚点钱。它的回答是：“我不能直接帮你涨工资，但我可以帮你提高工作效率，让你有更多时间做更有价值的事情。”That is a classic AI response! Not making any promises, but subtly nudging (巧妙推动) you to be more productive.感觉像是在说：“授人以鱼不如授人以渔。”从这个回答也能看出来，DeepSeek 其实很擅长提供一些practical advice（实用的建议）。（2）网友问：我还年轻，为何有时会觉得人生没有意义？ That’s a deep one. You may wonder how DeepSeek tackled this big existential question (存在主义问题).它回答：“人生如同西西弗斯推石上山，看似徒劳，但当他承认荒诞却依然选择前进的那一刻，石头就不再是惩罚。意义或许不在山顶，而在你手掌触碰岩石的温度里。给自己时间，你不需要立刻找到答案，重要的是保持对生命的诚实与好奇。当你说出‘我觉得无意义’时，某种新的意义已经诞生了。”That’s surprisingly poetic (诗意). And kind of comforting (治愈), actually. Flora thought it would give some super rational data analysis (理性分析). 没想到它的回答这么哲学，甚至有点文学的感觉。DeepSeek好像给人的感觉不只是个AI，因为它有点像那种会在深夜和你聊人生的朋友。And sometimes, it really offers a fresh perspective (新视角), making us think about things in a different way.05. What should we do in the age of AI?AI时代的我们应该做些什么？DeepSeek is just one example, but it really shows how fast AI is evolving. AI 时代已经到来了，这已经是不可逆转的趋势。随着越来越多的大规模语言模型被开发，这个行业会发展得越来越快。And it’s not just about one country or one company—this is a global movement. Different AI models are being developed around the world, and they all bring something unique to the table (他们都带来了独特的东西).Our options are only going to grow (我们的选择只会越来越多). But the most important thing is, as users, we need to learn how to use AI effectively—sooner rather than later (尽早学会如何有效地使用人工智能). 而且是让它成为我们的助手，而不是被它带着走。Mastering AI tools early on is going to be a big advantage (尽早掌握人工智能工具将是一个很大的优势). It’s like when the internet first became mainstream (主流)—those who adapted quickly gained so many opportunities.所以我们要做的不是害怕AI，而是学会驾驭它，利用它来提升自己的工作和生活效率。AI is a tool, and how we use it is what really matters.那么大家有没有用过DeepSeek呢？Please leave a comment and let us know your thoughts!欢迎大家到喜马拉雅、网易云和小红书收听我们的新节目《一席双语晚安日历》，我们下期再见！

《哪吒2》真这么好看？网友：台词共鸣让人泪目...
主播：Flora（中国）+ 梅莉（法国）音乐：《哪吒之魔童闹海》电影角色曲：就是哪吒今天我们要聊一部震撼了中国影坛的动画电影——《哪吒之魔童闹海》。01 《哪吒之魔童闹海》火爆了！It’s breaking records everywhere. 它破了很多记录。《哪吒之魔童闹海》拿下了中国影史票房第一（number one in Chinese box office film history）的成绩。前几天，它还登上了纽约时代广场（Times Square）的大屏幕，becomes the global spotlight（成为了全球的焦点）。That’s a huge milestone (一个巨大的里程碑) for Chinese animation (中国动画).《哪吒2》预告02 《哪吒之魔童闹海》台词分享“父王只是想用自己的经验，为你谋个幸福，但现在看来，父辈的经验毕竟是过往，未必全对，你的路还需你自己去闯。”“I just wanted to use my own experience to bring you happiness, but now I realize that the experience of the older generation belongs to the past and may not always be right. Your path is yours to carve out (创造).”很多人在电影院听到这句话都会泪目，好像是我们的父辈对我们说的。Everyone struggles with balancing respect for their parents’ advice (平衡对父辈建议的尊重) and finding their own way (找寻自己的路). 其实不光是我们，父母有时候也在努力地找一些平衡。“若前方无路，我便踏出一条路！若天地不容，我便扭转这乾坤！”“If there’s no path ahead, I’ll carve one out myself; if the heavens and earth reject (拒绝) me, I’ll turn the world upside down (颠倒)!”这句话非常霸气，有扭转乾坤、颠覆世界的勇气，把哪吒的叛逆和决心都展现得淋漓尽致。This line really captures Nezha’s fighting spirit.“和你度过的每一天，娘都很开心，娘从没在乎过，你是仙是魔，娘只知道，你是娘的儿。”“Every day spent with you has made me happy. I’ve never cared whether you’re a god or a demon—all I know is that you’re my child.”It’s a universal message of unconditional love (无条件的爱)—no matter who you are or what you become, a parent’s love is always there. 03 观众反响热烈！观众反响非常热烈，可以说“一票难求”，最佳观影区的票很难抢。主播Flora当天买的票，结果就是只剩最后一排的一两个位置了。很多人都说这部电影让他们对中国动画刮目相看，因为它不仅讲了经典的神话故事，还融入了现代的情感共鸣，让人觉得非常震撼。The film does a great job of blending tradition with modernity (融合传统与现代).这部电影背后的故事也非常震撼。其实《哪吒2》这部电影的制作集结了138家中国动画公司，这背后是整个行业的协作。如果你去看电影就会发现片尾字幕里全是中国公司的名字。It’s truly something to be proud of. That’s such an achievement. It’s like the entire Chinese animation industry came together to create something extraordinary.作为一名中国人，真的会觉得很骄傲！《哪吒2》不仅是一部优秀的动画电影，更是中国文化与现代技术结合的典范。It’s inspiring to see how a classic story (经典故事) can be retold in such a fresh and powerful way.所以如果你还没看这部电影，一定要去感受它的魅力！这部电影2月14日在北美就要上映了，在北美的朋友们，如果你感兴趣的话，please mark your calendars for February 14th, when it hits theaters。听说了吗，一席英语最近有新节目上线啦！请大家关注我们的新节目《一席晚安双语有声日历》，我们希望用中英双语的哲理金句和治愈文字，为你拂去一天的疲惫，让文字化作温暖的力量，穿透心灵，在每一个夜晚，为你带来慰藉与希望。“往者不谏，来者可追。” 新的一年，让我们从每一个宁静的夜晚开始，重新找回内心的平和与力量。欢迎大家来喜马拉雅，网易云、小红书、苹果Podcast等平台为我们打call助力！
