📝متن پیاده‌شدهٔ فایل:

Alice: I am Alice, and I am a stay-at-home mom with three kids, teenager age, and I drive a taxi.

Carvell: So, Alice, you’re here because you have a very specific conundrum that you would like advice on.

🔸Can you give us the background on this story?

Alice: Yes. My daughter started dating, I guess, middle school, a boy.

🔹It’s a small school, and she’s known him since they were in second grade.

🔸And the parents I’ve always wanted to get to know better, and this gave us the reason to get to know each other better.

🔹And then Covid struck, and the mom of the boy became sort of a foxhole friend of mine.

🔸The benefit of COVID was that our children couldn’t be close to each other. They couldn’t smooch or anything.

🔹During COVID, relationships were strained in her family, they were strained in my family.

🔸And we were both feeling betrayed, actually, by family who would throw away the relationship just because there would be a mask that had to be worn.

In many parts of the world heat waves are happening more often with greater intensity and for longer durations. By 2050, Earth’s mid-latitudes could be experiencing extreme heat between 90 and 180 days a year, with tropical regions enduring even more. So how hot is too hot, and what can people do to handle the heat? Carolyn Beans digs into how heat waves affect your body.

The bird swallows the sharp rocks after eating its prey and these end up inside its stomach.
پرنده پس از خوردن شکارش، سنگ‌های تیز را می‌بلعد و این سنگ‌ها داخل معده‌اش قرار می‌گیرند.



Now this is because it doesn’t have teeth to chew with, meaning the bones in its food could puncture its intestines.
این به این دلیل است که پرنده دندان برای جویدن ندارد، یعنی استخوان‌های غذا می‌توانند روده‌هایش را سوراخ کنند.



But if it eats these rocks, they will rub against the bones.
اما اگر این سنگ‌ها را بخورد، سنگ‌ها به استخوان‌ها ساییده می‌شوند.




This slowly crushes them, allowing them to be digested, and once stones are smooth out, the bird will spit them out and swallow new ones.
این سنگ‌ها به‌تدریج استخوان‌ها را خرد می‌کنند و به هضم آن‌ها کمک می‌کنند، و وقتی سنگ‌ها صاف شدند، پرنده آن‌ها را تف می‌کند و سنگ‌های جدیدی می‌بلعد.

You really think that you can get everyone in this office to chip in for a birthday card for Allen? Chance would be a fine thing! Look around you. In this office, no one gives a monkey's about anyone else!


You really think that you can bag an all-inclusive spur-of-the-moment holiday this time of year to the Algarve? Chance would be a fine thing!

Chip in (phrasal verb) = to contribute usually with money

Chance would be a fine thing (idiom) = sounds great, but very unlikely

No one gives a monkey's (idiom) = no one cares

Bag (slang) = buy


Spur-of-the-moment (idiom) = suddenly without planning

To each his/her/their own

1. I can't believe that anyone actually watches those home shopping TV channels, but each to their own, I guess.

▪️مُخَم سوت می‌کشه کسی اون آشغال‌های تبلیغاتی رو نگاه کنه، اما چه میشه کرد، هر کسی یه جوری حال می‌کنه

2. Dennis likes keeping snakes, does he? That's seems a strange hobby to me, but each to his own.

▪️دنیس مار پرورش میده؟ عجب چیزایی آدم می‌شنوه! سلیقه‌ها چقدر با هم فرق دارن، نه؟

3. A: "It's a bit of a guilty pleasure, but I really love watching cheesy horror movies." B: "Hey, to each their own. I'm not going to judge you for that."

▪️یه جور لذت گناه آلوده، ولی من واقعاً عاشق تماشای فیلم‌های ترسناک آبکی هستم." ب: "هی، سلیقه‌ها متفاوته دیگه. من نمی‌خوام بابت این قضاوتت کنم
