【句子】I will be driving 50 of our finest senior citizens to the polls, assuming, of course, that they remember that I'm coming for them. 【ModernFamilyS3E19】【发音】/aɪ/ /wɪl/ /biː/ /ˈdraɪ.vɪŋ/ /ˈfɪf.ti/ /əv/ /aʊə(r)/ /ˈfaɪ.nɪst/ /ˈsiː.ni.ə(r)/ /ˈsɪt.ɪ.zənz/ /tʊ/ /ðə/ /pəʊlz/ /əˈsjuːmɪŋ/ /əˈsuːmɪŋ/ /əv/ /kɔː(r)s/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/ /rɪˈmem.bə(r)/ /ðæt/ /aɪm/ /ˈkʌm.ɪŋ/ /fə(r)/ /ðəm/【发音技巧】of our连读；finest senior不完全爆破；that they不完全爆破；that I'm连读+闪音；【翻译】我负责接送50名十佳老人去投票站，当然，前提是如果他们还能记得这件事情的话。【适用场合】今天我们来学习一个英文中常见的委婉语表达，叫做senior citizen，字面理解是：“高级公民”，因为senior表示“高级的；高级别的；年长的”而citizen又有“公民”的意思；这样的说法，就比直接称呼老年人为the old；old people或者the elderly都更让人舒服。 下面我们来看几个例子：eg: Senior citizens get priority seating.老年人享有优先座位。 eg: This park offers free entry to senior citizens.这个公园对老年人免费开放。 eg: Senior citizens are eligible for a 20% discount on public transportation.老年人可享受公共交通票价8折的优惠。 那么在英文中，其实类似的委婉语Euphemism也挺多的，我们可以多看几个例子：比如说中文中我们比较忌讳直接说“死；死亡”；英文中也类似，通常我们可以用pass away；go to a better place；kick the bucket；meet one's end这样的短语来表达“死”；那“怀孕”的话，英文中我们可以委婉一点，说expecting；in the family way；have a bun in the oven；还有“失业”，也是在各个语言文化中比较敏感的词，在英文中你可以用between jobs；in transition；looking for new opportunities这样的表达来说明情况。 其实像以上这些委婉语的表达，我们在视频直播新概念第一册的课程中都有提到。暑期快到了，我们工作室瑶瑶老师亲自视频直播授课的课程也都陆续上线了，甚至包含最近大热门的原版教材课程，大家可以联系瑶瑶老师的微信teacheryao6 免费获取各个课程的试听，别错过我们的新课啦！ 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】My grandmother prefers "senior citizen" over "old lady"--it sounds more respectful.

A new mishnah! A blasphemer is only culpable once he mentions the Name of God. All testimony would be provided using a euphemism, until the very end, when one occasion of direct citation of the blasphemy would take place before any judgement would be brought into effect. The judges who heard this would tear their garments for this desecration. Also, the 7 Noachide laws, and dispute over what they are. That is, the sages had other laws to add - several of which were connected to false approaches to the Divine or witchcraft, but even grafting was recommended for the list, though they weren't included, in the long run. Plus, a discussion on the nature of civil law, and why it is one of the 7 (except for the view that says it doesn't belong there, and "sterilization and grafting/kilayim" were substituted instead).

Solomon said the day of one's death is better than one's birth. Why? He knew that life here was vanity, but we have something better awaiting us (Ecclesiastes 12:7-8, 13-14). The Bible uses several expressions for death (euphemisms). A euphemism is a milder word or phrase used in place of a stronger one (ex: “passed away”). The euphemisms for death in the Bible can teach us some lessons. We should “take it to heart.”

We're back, ahead of schedule, with an emotional first episode of 2025 after a long and personally very traumatic few months. This week we turn to Sinatra's classic 1956 album Songs for Swingin' Lovers! and explore how the album title inadvertently became a double entendre in the 1960s. Placing this album in the inadvertent context of the "swinging" sexual revolution throws new light on it and snaps the album's "concept" into focus. Mostly, this is just spectacular music and we're back to our roots of appreciating it. In particular, we spotlight the trumpet work of Harry "Sweets" Edison, a major part of the timeless sound of this era.
