Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Kites on the Great Wall: A Windy Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-07-21-22-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 在中国长城上，阳光灿烂，一片喧闹。En: On the Great Wall of China, the sun shone brightly, and the atmosphere was bustling with activity.Zh: 明、丽丽和杰三个人兴奋地站在墙上，手中紧握一只巨大的风筝。En: Ming, Lili, and Jie stood excitedly on the wall, holding a gigantic kite tightly in their hands.Zh: "明，我们真的能在这里放风筝吗？"丽丽有些犹豫，她看着周围的人群，担心地问。En: "Ming, can we really fly a kite here?" Lili asked hesitantly, looking at the surrounding crowd with concern.Zh: "当然可以！今天风大，是放风筝的好天气。"明自信地说。En: "Of course we can! It's windy today, perfect weather for kite flying," Ming replied confidently.Zh: 而杰则在一旁笑着插嘴："别担心，丽丽，如果风筝飞走了，我们至少有杰哥帮忙捡帽子！"En: Jie chuckled and chimed in, "Don't worry, Lili, if the kite flies away, at least brother Jie is here to help retrieve the hats!"Zh: 三人找了个稍微空旷的地方，试着让风筝在空中翩翩起舞。En: The three found a slightly open space and tried to let the kite gracefully dance in the sky.Zh: 然而，风筝刚升起，就因为墙上的强风而晃动得厉害。En: However, as soon as the kite rose, it wobbled fiercely due to the strong winds on the wall.Zh: "糟糕！它缠住了女士的帽子！"丽丽喊道。En: "Oh no! It's tangled with a lady's hat!" Lili exclaimed.Zh: 更糟糕的是，每次风筝绳一拂而过，总有一个游客因帽子被带走而惊慌失措。En: Even worse, each time the kite's string brushed by, it caused panic as it took away a tourist's hat.Zh: 明开始感到心急，他决心要让风筝不在地面惹麻烦。En: Ming began to feel anxious and was determined to keep the kite from causing trouble on the ground.Zh: "我们去那边！人少一点！"他指了指墙的另一边。En: "Let's go over there! Fewer people!" he pointed to the other side of the wall.Zh: 他们移到另一边，那里确实少了很多游客，但风更强。En: They moved to the other side, where indeed there were fewer tourists, but the wind was stronger.Zh: 几次尝试后，风筝再次高高地飞起。En: After several attempts, the kite flew high again.Zh: 可是没过多久，风筝突然俯冲下来，勾住了一位导游的帽子。En: But before long, it suddenly swooped down and hooked onto a tour guide's hat.Zh: 导游本在给游客们讲解，他的帽子飞起，全场安静后却是一阵欢笑。En: The tour guide, who was explaining things to tourists, had his hat taken away, which brought laughter after the initial silence.Zh: "抱歉，抱歉！"明连忙道歉。En: "Sorry, Sorry!" Ming quickly apologized.Zh: 导游哈哈大笑："没关系！天空四通八达，分享快乐吧！让我来试试这个风筝如何？"En: The tour guide laughed heartily, "No worries! The sky is vast and open, let's share the joy! Let me have a go with the kite!"Zh: 随着导游的加入，一切变得更加有趣。En: With the tour guide's participation, everything became more amusing.Zh: 他教大家如何在风中找到平衡，如何让风筝稳稳飞翔。En: He taught everyone how to find balance in the wind and how to keep the kite flying steadily.Zh: 不久，所有人都沉浸在这场意外的快乐中。En: Soon, everyone was immersed in this unexpected joy.Zh: 望着飞到高高云端的风筝，明笑了。En: Watching the kite soar high up to the clouds, Ming smiled.Zh: 他明白，不必追求完美。En: He realized that there was no need to strive for perfection.Zh: “有时候，过程比结果更令人难忘。”他对丽丽和杰说。En: "Sometimes, the process is more unforgettable than the result," he said to Lili and Jie.Zh: "没错，我的帽子是最好的风筝道具！"杰调皮地说。En: "That's right, my hat is the best kite accessory!" Jie joked mischievously.Zh: 在长城上，这一天留下了他们共同的欢笑声，也让明明白了有时候与朋友共同经历不完美，也是一种快乐。En: On the Great Wall, the day left behind their shared laughter, and it also taught Ming that sometimes, going through the imperfections with friends is a form of happiness itself.

Layang-layang rupanya jadi faktor penyebab penerbangan di Bandara Soekarno-Hatta terpaksa delay.Seperti dilaporkan detikTravel, layang-layang berada di ketinggian 500-600 meter di daerah landasan pacu. Demi menjaga keselamatan dan keamanan penerbangan, pesawat terpaksa berputar di atas bandara, bahkan ada yang sampai dialihkan ke bandara lain.Sejumlah pesawat terganggu jadwal penerbangannya seperti, Transnusa dengan nomor penerbangan TNU5533 (Yogyakarta-Jakarta), Lion air JT797 (Ujung Pandang-Jakarta), Batik Air ID6205 dan ID 7150, Super Air Jet IU623 (Banjarmasin-Jakarta) dan IU681 (Pontianak-Jakarta).Bandara Soetta menempati urutan ke-6 indeks gangguan penerbangan di seluruh dunia dengan total 204 penerbangan mengalami delay.Lewat akun X, PT Angkasa Pura menyampaikan permohonan maaf. "PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia mengucapkan permohonan maaf atas ketidaknyamanan yang dialami. Terkait kejadian adanya layang-layang di sekitar area Bandara Soekarno-Hatta yang berdampak pada keterlambatan penerbangan," tulis mereka.Selain melarang menerbangkan layang-layang, Angkasa Pura juga mengimbau masyarakat untuk tidak menerbangkan benda lain termasuk drone di sekitar kawasan bandara.Sumber berita: CNN Indonesia Sumber gambar: Shyam di UnsplashTerima kasih banyak atas dukungannya untuk:SAHABAT WINDAHAkiramJayNyong Jago Bob GenericJohn nyMartin JankovskýWilliam ChenDawid GerstelDRamzan BAlex PepinnsSebastianAlexander ScholtesJrobabuja11 RoboNicholai LidowAliteJack William HusbandsAndre ChampouxDemiAlastair JudsonKatherine WalkerLino ArboledaLeon KwekCameron Edinger-ReeveSam BayleyLivvieIsmail OtchiChrisRussell BarlowMary PopeIga Komar帥志 Shuai Chih LinBjornrappangeHossein KhoshtaghazaAldoParis LuckowskiMatthew O'ConnorRussell OgdenYaszalix子强 孙Bart van de KampWC Kon태엽 주Arthur NazaryanDaniel Kaposi TEMAN WINDAHJohn McBride  Kristofer Nivens  P.

tree that offered a perfect refuge for observing.Es: Abrió su cuaderno y comenzó a esbozar el paisaje.En: She opened her notebook and began sketching the landscape.Es: Las formas y las sombras que

In new remarks for this week's baseball and history reprise, we argue about bunts, kites, and kings—why would anyone wish for any of them? Kites are okay, of course, but the other two are problematic. We then revisit the Brooklyn Dodgers with Jackie Robinson asked to comment on a fallen Hall of Famer who had once been his teammate, then jump back to the days before World War II, when the America First Committee wanted to take over a baseball stadium for one of their isolationist/anti-Semitic rallies. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out? 

Fear doesn't disappear—you just learn how to move with it. Jenny Milton, aka "Adrenaline Jenny," breaks down how courage is built, not born. Whether she's dropping into extreme terrain or helping others step into their own edge, her message is the same: confidence comes in layers. You'll hear how she faced fear one ski run at a time and how that same mindset can apply to your everyday life. From coaching women at snow kite camps to writing a children's book about bravery, Jenny makes courage practical. Her approach mixes real-world tools, like exposure training and mindset work, with big-picture ideas about mentorship, preparation, and the long game of growth. If you're stuck at the edge of something that scares you, this might be the nudge you need.   About Jennie Milton: Jennie "AdrenaJen" Milton is an accomplished extreme sports athlete, champion snowkiter, and trailblazing kitesurfing icon who has transformed her thrilling life into a journey of empowerment and inspiration. With numerous accolades, including titles as the Australian Kitesurfing Champion and a globally ranked Snowkite Champion, Jennie's career is built on courage, resilience, and a deep passion for the outdoors. Her life story is a testament to her unstoppable spirit, marked by adventures in Alaska's backcountry, surviving avalanches, and even escaping polar bears. Known for her engaging and high-energy approach, Jennie coaches women in snowkiting camps, teaching them not just the technical skills of the sport but also how to conquer their fears and build unshakable confidence. She brings this same energy to her role as a keynote speaker, where her talks blend real-life adventure stories with actionable strategies, helping audiences face their own fears and challenges with newfound courage. Her popular "Fear Formula" unpacks the tools and mindset athletes use to stay calm under pressure, sharing valuable lessons with everyone from corporate teams to women over 40 seeking to pivot their passions. Jennie is also the author of a heartfelt children's book series that follows characters who learn bravery and self-belief, with a special focus on supporting families dealing with childhood cancer. Through her books, speaking, and coaching, Jennie is dedicated to inspiring people to overcome fear, dream big, and live life to the fullest, embodying her signature motto: Ready Mindset Go.

Back on Memorial Day, as we Harwich Fahertys discussed what to do, I coyly suggested a family hike with some Upper Cape friends of ours. But where?

Today, we'll talk about Weifang's kites which symbolize cultural heritage and craftsmanship, attracting global enthusiasts to its annual International Kite Festival, where traditional techniques and modern innovations continue to soar.

This has been one of those rare weeks where enough happened to fuel several weeks of bird reports — a spring nor'easter that poured rare seabirds into Cape Cod Bay, a colony of at least five apparently nesting Swallow-tailed Kites in Mashpee that also shattered the state high count, and, most importantly, the cuteness overload of baby owls fledging in my very own yard.

It's not even May, and the “Swallow-tailed Kite triangle” of Cape Cod is already popping off with early sightings. There were no fewer than five reports of this improbably graceful hawk over the last week.

Today's episode is a sneak peak from our upcoming summit. We speak with Drs. Lindsay and Lexie Kite, authors of More Than a Body, about how parents can help their children develop a healthy body image in a world that often prioritizes appearance over well-being. We explore the concept of self-objectification and how societal pressures, especially through media, can lead kids—particularly girls—to view their bodies as ornaments rather than instruments.The Kites emphasize body image resilience, encouraging parents to challenge harmful beauty standards and model a positive relationship with their own bodies. They share practical strategies for fostering a healthier mindset in children, including focusing on what bodies can do rather than how they look, promoting media literacy, and reinforcing self-worth beyond appearance.This episode offers essential insights for parents looking to raise confident, body-positive kids in today's image-focused culture.

Transcript:Nl: De wind speelde vrolijk met de dunne takken van de kale bomen in het Vondelpark.En: The wind played cheerfully with the thin branches of the bare trees in Vondelpark.Nl: Het park was bedekt met een dunne laag sneeuw, en het water van de vijvers had een dunne laag ijs.En: The park was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the water of the ponds had a thin layer of ice.Nl: Het veld stond vol met mensen die kites oplaten.En: The field was full of people flying kites.Nl: De lucht was gevuld met kleurige kites, die dansten tegen de grijze winterlucht.En: The sky was filled with colorful kites dancing against the gray winter sky.Nl: Bram stond vol zelfvertrouwen, zijn kite was de grootste.En: Bram stood with confidence, his kite was the largest.Nl: Hij was vastbesloten om te winnen.En: He was determined to win.Nl: Sanne stond naast hem, haar bruine ogen bezorgd gericht op de donkere wolken boven hen.En: Sanne stood next to him, her brown eyes worriedly fixed on the dark clouds above them.Nl: "Bram, kijk uit voor de bomen," waarschuwde ze.En: "Bram, watch out for the trees," she warned.Nl: Maar Bram was al te druk bezig met zijn kite.En: But Bram was already too busy with his kite.Nl: Elske, met haar scherpe blik, zag als eerste dat Bram's kite in een boom verstrikt raakte.En: Elske, with her sharp eye, was the first to notice that Bram's kite got tangled in a tree.Nl: "Bram, je kite zit vast!"En: "Bram, your kite is stuck!"Nl: riep ze.En: she shouted.Nl: Bram zag de kite hoog tussen de takken boven de bevroren vijver hangen.En: Bram saw the kite hanging high among the branches above the frozen pond.Nl: "Ik haal hem wel," mompelde hij.En: "I'll get it," he mumbled.Nl: "Nee, Bram, de vijver is niet veilig!"En: "No, Bram, the pond isn't safe!"Nl: riep Sanne, maar Bram was al op pad.En: yelled Sanne, but Bram was already on his way.Nl: Hij stapte behoedzaam het ijs op.En: He carefully stepped onto the ice.Nl: Zijn stappen echoën door het stille park.En: His steps echoed through the quiet park.Nl: Sanne en Elske keken elkaar aan, hun gezichten vol zorgen.En: Sanne and Elske looked at each other, their faces full of concern.Nl: Elske keek snel om zich heen, op zoek naar een oplossing.En: Elske quickly looked around, searching for a solution.Nl: Ze zag een lange tak op de grond.En: She saw a long branch on the ground.Nl: "Sanne, help me," zei ze terwijl ze naar de tak rende.En: "Sanne, help me," she said while running toward the branch.Nl: Samen trokken ze de zware tak richting de vijver.En: Together they dragged the heavy branch toward the pond.Nl: Net toen Bram de boom bijna bereikte, kraakte het ijs luid onder zijn voeten.En: Just as Bram almost reached the tree, the ice cracked loudly beneath his feet.Nl: Het geluid sneed als een mes door de ijzige lucht.En: The sound cut through the icy air like a knife.Nl: "Bram, terug!"En: "Bram, back!"Nl: schreeuwde Sanne angstig.En: shouted Sanne fearfully.Nl: Maar het was te laat.En: But it was too late.Nl: Een scherpe scheur verscheen onder hem.En: A sharp crack appeared beneath him.Nl: Met een snelle beweging gooiden Sanne en Elske de tak naar hem.En: With a swift movement, Sanne and Elske threw the branch to him.Nl: "Pak vast!"En: "Grab hold!"Nl: riepen ze in koor.En: they shouted in unison.Nl: Bram greep de tak terwijl hij zijn evenwicht verloor.En: Bram grabbed the branch as he lost his balance.Nl: Het ijs kraakte verder, dreigend te breken onder zijn gewicht.En: The ice cracked further, threatening to break under his weight.Nl: Met uiterste inspanning trokken ze Bram naar de veilige oever, net op tijd voordat het ijs onder zijn voeten brak.En: With utmost effort, they pulled Bram to the safe bank, just in time before the ice beneath his feet shattered.Nl: Hij hijgde, natte kou drong door zijn kleren.En: He panted, cold wetness seeping through his clothes.Nl: Maar zijn ogen waren wijd van dankbaarheid.En: But his eyes were wide with gratitude.Nl: "Bedankt," fluisterde hij terwijl hij naar de boom keek.En: "Thank you," he whispered as he looked at the tree.Nl: De kite had de toss overleefd.En: The kite had survived the toss.Nl: Maar terwijl de cold winter wind hen omhulde, besefte Bram dat de prijs het risico niet waard was.En: But as the cold winter wind enveloped them, Bram realized that the prize wasn't worth the risk.Nl: "Jullie hadden gelijk," gaf hij toe, zijn stem zacht maar oprecht.En: "You were right," he admitted, his voice soft but sincere.Nl: Elske glimlachte lichtjes.En: Elske smiled slightly.Nl: "Volgende keer misschien minder gedurfd," zei ze, terwijl ze vriendelijk naar hem knikte.En: "Maybe less daring next time," she said, nodding kindly at him.Nl: Sanne sloeg een arm om hem heen.En: Sanne wrapped an arm around him.Nl: "Kites komen en gaan, vrienden blijven," zei ze.En: "Kites come and go, friends stay," she said.Nl: Terwijl ze samen terugliepen naar het veld, zag Bram de schoonheid van de kites opnieuw, niet in hun grootte, maar in hun eenvoud.En: As they walked back to the field together, Bram saw the beauty of the kites again, not in their size, but in their simplicity.Nl: En hij besloot dat, hoewel winnen leuk was, de veiligheid van zijn vrienden veel belangrijker was.En: And he decided that, while winning was fun, the safety of his friends was far more important.Nl: In het Vondelpark, onder de dansende kleuren in de lucht, had Bram een belangrijke les geleerd over moed, vriendschap en het belang van luisteren naar raadzaam advies.En: In Vondelpark, under the dancing colors in the sky, Bram learned an important lesson about courage, friendship, and the importance of heeding wise advice.

Halfway across the world in New Delhi, India, two brothers have made it their mission to protect a bird known as the Black Kite.

Up first today is Deej's catastrophy that prompts a discussion about misplacing your shit and what assholes our children can be. Kites are lame, and so is National Kite Day. At least according to Mitch. Mostly because he just can't seem to get it up. What's not so lame? The Feast of the Ass, which apparently is now Mitch's new favorite holiday. In this week's news - a vegan and gluten free bakery allegedly passed off Dunkin Donuts as their product. How effed up is that?! Thankfully our local (DuBois) Dunkin' friend Jordan has Deej's back in terms of his allergies. Thanks Jordan for being an awesome human being!

Tonight, we'll read excerpts from “Healthful Sports for Boys”, written by A.R. Calhoun and published in 1882. Also known as Alfred Rochfort, born in 1844, Calhoun was an American soldier, author, journalist and critic. He served in the Union army during the U.S. Civil War. "Healthful Sports for Boys," was a guide to engaging in physical activities that promoted health and well-being. One popular game covered in the book was marbles. Calhoun likely saw the value in marbles not just as a fun pastime, but also as a way to develop hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, and social skills. Glass marbles ultimately came into being around the middle of the 1800's, not too long before this book was written. It is believed that they were first created by glassmakers who shaped bits of leftover glass at the end of the day to take home for their children. For Calhoun, games like this wasn't just about exercise. His book emphasized the importance of sportsmanship, fair play, and the development of character. Our episode tonight offers a glimpse into the sporting world of a bygone era, reflecting the values and ideals of the time. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Living the Dream, Facing the Nightmare: An Interview with Alan C. Mack This week's Team Never Quit guest is a decorated war hero and an extraordinary pilot whose military career spanned nearly 36 years, including 17 years in Army Special Operations. Alan C. Mack, a retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CW5), shares his incredible journey from a young man with a passion for flying to a highly respected leader in some of the most elite units of the U.S. military. Alan's expertise and leadership saw him involved in numerous high-stakes operations, many still classified. One of the most notable missions he discusses is the Battle of Takur Ghar, also known as the Battle of Roberts Ridge, during Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. Alan's bravery and skill under fire, including crash-landing a helicopter and attempting multiple rescue missions under heavy enemy fire, highlight his exceptional courage. Alan's distinguished service has earned him numerous awards, including the Legion of Merit, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, three Bronze Stars, ten Air Medals (one with a Valor device), and many more. His impressive flight record includes over 6,700 flight hours, with more than 3,200 hours under Night Vision Goggles. After retiring from the military, Alan continued to serve his community. He now works as the Deputy Commissioner of Emergency Services for Orange County, New York, a role that he appreciates for its peaceful nature compared to his military experiences. Alan's story is one of resilience, dedication, and the pursuit of one's dreams. Despite the adversities and challenges faced in combat, his journey is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome and find meaning in serving others. His life is an inspiration, showing that with determination and courage, it's possible to live out your dreams while also facing and conquering the nightmares. This episode will leave you both inspired and reflective. In This Episode You Will Hear: • The biggest cause of an air refueling incident is the grohe – it's a big hose – you are actually only 19' from rotors to tanker. (26:26) • [During air refueling] You're doing 110-120mph over the water. (27:00) • I've done air refueling as low as 100' off the coast of Iraq. (27:08) • I get a missile fired at me so now I drop down between buildings. I'm down on the rooftops and you know what's in front of me? Kites. Hundreds and hundreds of kites. (34:10) • The older [Chinook helicopter] Delta models just had handheld maps. (43:34) • [During Operation Red Wings] I sat down with the A10's and the AC130's with my map and the imagery and said “I need you to either suppress or creative a diversion that's so big no one could help but look. (50:15) • Crew Chiefs sometimes see things that aren't there (and I hate to say it that way) but sometimes they'll see lights of a car and think they're seeing signal light signals. (53:28) • Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. (55:00) • My youngest son was a Night Stalker Flight Engineer, and my oldest son is a Navy F18 wizzo (back seater) He's a Goose. (58:05) • I did 17 years with the Night Stalkers, plus about 10 years of deployment. (59:03) • Every aircraft munition has a probable kill ratio. A surface to air missile has a “PK” of 75%, meaning that if they fired at you, you have a 75% chance of killing you. The ground has a 100% PK. (64:23) • I've got about 3,500, maybe 4,000 hours of night vision time, which is a lot. (67:51) • Anaconda was a conventional operation, such as Red Wings. There's no soft component to it. (68:57) • We had 4 or 5 people on the aircraft tail, and we are diving at about 150, [one of our men that fell out but is tethered] while they're shooting at us and his toes are tickling the trees. The crew chief is returning fire with an M60 machine gun. He looks over and pulls our guy up, and I learned we had lost Neil [another guy] and decided we've gotta go back. So I turned inbound and climbed back up and the controls stopped moving. Imagine you pulled the keys out of your car. That's what it's like with no hydraulics. So I'm like “Guys… we're done,” as in “We're going to die.” (79:03) • In the spirit of never quit, there's a saying: ”Never quit flying the aircraft.” (83:22) • Everything I do in life, I associate with movies I've seen.
