Best Learning Chinese Podcasts (2024)

今天，跟大家介绍一款在中国非常流行的修图软件——美图秀秀。根据极光大数据的报道：在中国，截止至2017年11月，市面上拍照修图的APP超过3400个。每100个移动网民中就有超过47人是该类APP的用户。美图秀秀是这类产品中的绝对领导者。目前，美图秀秀有网页、电脑软件，和手机APP三个版本供用户选择。主要功能也有三个：美化图片、人像美容和拼图。无论是哪个版本，操作都十分简单。当然，随着智能手机的流行，用户最多的还是手机APP这个版本。美图秀秀自2008年面世以来，用户总人数增长迅速，近几年渐渐走出国门。同时，在传入海外的过程中，美图秀秀也引发了一些争议。例如，人像美容这个功能里的“一键美颜”可以把照片上人像的皮肤变得更白、更细腻。一些海外的黑人用户在使用了这个功能之后，发现自己变白了，…

我有一个美国学生，叫白佳丽。她几年前去了中国，常常跟我分享在中国的所见所闻。不久前，她给我发了一封邮件，说：老师，以前你教过我“政治正确”这个词，可是，到了中国以后，我发现了很多政治不正确的事，真是让我非常惊讶。我继续看下去，才知道原来佳丽想找一份英文老师的工作，于是她在网上搜索了各种职位信息。她发现，有的职位信息上竟然写着：求职者需五官端正，年龄四十五岁以下。佳丽说，在美国，即使有的雇主更喜欢外貌出众的年轻求职者，他们也不敢把这样的要求写出来。佳丽好不容易找到了一个感兴趣的职位，就开始写简历。写完之后给她的中国朋友看，她的朋友问:“你怎么没有贴自己的照片啊？”“为什么要贴照片？”佳丽很惊讶。朋友也很惊讶：“大多数中国人的简历上都会有照片啊……”佳丽想不明白，因为在美国，大家从来都不会在…

#202: 视频网站的弹幕 5:00

今天来说说，除了微博以外，流行在中国年轻人中间的另外一种娱乐社交方式：视频网站的弹(dàn)幕。看到名字，大家已经知道它和视频网站有关，事实上中国的许多视频内容原创者（也就是类似于Youtube网站的youtuber们），都活跃于以弹幕功能为特色的视频网站上，比如：Bilibili网(B站)，Acfun网(A站)等。那么，到底什么是弹幕呢? 弹幕指的是视频播放时出现的即时评论。这些评论出现在视频画面上，同一个视频的其他观看者也能看到。这样，观看者之间可以通过弹幕进行密集地互动，表达对视频的赞扬或者批评。弹幕通常会作为滑动字幕从右至左飘过视频画面，这样的效果看上去像飞行的子弹，尤其当大量评论同时出现的时候，就像射击游戏中密集射出的子弹，这就是“弹幕”一词的由来。由于弹幕显示时间短，可以实现对…

“网红”就是“网络红人”，但是你知道“知识型网红”是什么吗？《罗辑思维》从2014年开播，曾经是一档非常红火的视频节目，主持人叫罗振宇。这是一个知识分享类的节目，主持人每期讨论一个话题，把自己读过书后总结的观点讲给大家听。这档节目非常成功，平均每期的点击率超过一百万。 2015年年底，罗辑思维推出了一个手机软件，叫“得到”。软件的口号为：一起建设一所终身大学。这是一个付费订阅专栏的软件。陆陆续续有好几位作者在这个软件上开设了自己的专栏，每周更新一篇或者几篇文章，大部分专栏一年收费199元人民币。例如，2016年-2017年度，李笑来的专栏《通往财富自由之路》订阅者人数接近20万。稍微算一下就知道，仅凭这个专栏，一年的销售额就是近4000万人民币。无论是主持人罗振宇，还是专栏作家李笑来，他…

#200: 花木兰 3:40

花木兰是中国文学作品中的一个女英雄。她女扮男装、替代父亲去从军的故事在民间广为流传。很多艺术作品中都有她的形象。中学课本里的古诗《木兰辞》，讲的就是她的故事。除了古诗，不少电视剧和电影里也有她的身影。木兰被外国朋友熟知主要是因为迪斯尼公司在1998年拍摄的动画片《Mulan》。动画片里的木兰有一头黑色的长发，个性活泼勇敢。她的爸爸妈妈一心想给她找一个好丈夫，可惜事情进行得不那么顺利。之后，北方匈奴入侵，木兰的父亲也在征兵的名单上。担心父亲身体不好，她决定女扮男装，替父亲上战场。在这个过程中，木兰遇到了很多困难，但是一直没有放弃，直到最后战争胜利。动画片在原来故事的基础上增加了很多人物和细节，使它变得更好看。迪斯尼公司在《Mulan》大获成功之后，于2004年推出了《Mulan 2》，但是…

#199: 北航教授性侵女学生事件 5:14

最近，北京航空航天大学（简称北航）的博士毕业生罗茜茜实名举报其博士导师陈小武性骚扰女学生的事件，在网络上受到了广泛关注。 1月1日，罗茜茜在微博上发布了题为《我要实名举报北航教授、长江学者陈小武性骚扰女学生》的文章，揭发了她的博士导师陈小武曾对她以及其他女生进行性骚扰的行为。去年10月，罗茜茜在“知乎网”上写下了自己12年前的受害经历后，就陆续有同样受到陈教授骚扰的女生和罗茜茜取得了联系。在收集到足够的证据以后，罗茜茜向学校提出举报陈小武老师。 1月11日，北航的官方微博通报了处理结果：陈小武对学生存在性骚扰行为，撤销其研究生导师资格和教师资格。几天后，中国教育部也撤销了陈小武“长江学者”的称号。 2017年，由美国女明星艾莉莎·米兰诺（Alyssa Milano）等人在社交媒体上发起的“#…

#198：和“手”有关的表达 4:07

6+ y ago4:07

4:07

在之前的一篇播客《中国孕妇的传统生活禁忌》中，有两位读者留言问“人手一件”是什么意思。“人手一件”就是每个人手上都有一件，意思是这件东西很流行。在中国，智能手机几乎是人手一件的电子产品。中文里有很多和“手”有关的表达。比如：手头有点紧。这个并不是说手被绑起来了，绑得很紧，而是说最近很穷，经济比较紧张。当你的朋友说“我最近手头有点紧”的时候，他可能要向你借钱了。如果有人请你帮忙做事情，可是你很忙，走不开，你可以说：“手头很忙”或者“手头正忙着呢”。中国还有句俗语是：吃人家的嘴软，拿人家的手短。意思是，如果你收了别人的好处，比如吃了别人的东西，或者收了别人的礼物，在做事情的时候就常常不能保持公正了。我最喜欢的一句是：执子之手，与子偕老。这一句出自中国最早的诗歌集《诗经》。大意是：牵着你的手…

#197: 出轨和出柜 4:09

6+ y ago4:09

Slow Chinese #197: 出轨和出柜慢速中文的小伙伴们，大家好！在学中文之初，你的老师或者中国朋友一定告诉过你：声调很重要，如果声调出错了，很可能会闹笑话或者造成误会的。今天我就给大家举一个例子。轨，左边是车，所以和车有关。火车、电车都有固定的轨道。出轨，就是离开了正常的轨道。我们可以说：火车出轨了，或者脱轨了。如果我们说一个人出轨了，就是指这个人背叛了自己的伴侣。2016年，中国互联网上两起和出轨相关的新闻引起了人们的广泛关注。演员王宝强主动在新浪微博上曝光妻子出轨，妻子的出轨对象是他的经纪人。11月的时候，羽毛球运动员林丹被曝光在妻子怀孕期间出轨了，他的出轨对象是一个女演员。说完出轨，我们来聊聊出柜。柜，就是柜子，“柜”这个汉字的左边是“木”，说明最初的柜子是木头做的。…

#196: 从台湾回到德国：戴上台湾的“眼镜”看德国（下） 5:13

6+ y ago5:13

虽然德国人比台湾人冷淡，可我还是很高兴终于回国了。首先，德国的建筑又漂亮又高级。台湾的不少房子由于工人的偷工减料，显得比较普通。其次，德国人的礼貌没有台湾人那么夸张。比如，台湾服务员上菜时会说“谢谢”。当你向台湾人问路的时候，有的人帮你指路之后还会跟你说“谢谢”。我觉得台湾人这么有礼貌可能是因为他们曾经被日本殖民了将近50年，受日本文化的影响比较大。最后，我在跟德国的政府官员和服务人员打电话时，不会一直出现文化或者语言上的误会，用母语沟通起来更顺畅。当然，台湾也有很多让我怀念的方面。比如台湾的好天气，我在台湾可以天天穿T恤，短裤和拖鞋。德国的秋天和冬天很冷，必须要裹得像粽子一样才行。其次，台湾菜又便宜又好吃，选择也五花八门，有牛肉面、油条、饭团、豆腐、豆浆、豆花，宫保鸡丁等等。想到这些我的…

奇怪的是，只有学了外语，才注意到母语的一些特点。只有住在国外，才知道祖国有什么特点。像我，一个刚刚从台湾留学回国的人，会注意到不少之前从来没有注意到的人和事。前天我从法兰克福机场的行李房出来时，听到一个德国老人大声抱怨：“排队的人太讨厌了！为什么不礼让其他经过的人？”后来我上了高铁，车上没有位子也没有吃的可买。另一位老人家大声骂工作人员，“这什么乱七八糟的！没有位子可坐！德国高铁把客户当牛啊！我会去投诉的！”另外一位小姐抱怨，“什么？没有茶可买也没有吃的可买！你们的服务太烂了！”除了踢足球和出口车子之外，其实我们德国人也是抱怨的世界冠军。听到了那些话，我才意识到我回国了。到了老家哥廷根的车站，我发现路人很少，人们手上的智能手机更少。在台湾的话，不管是校园里，车上还是路上，都有不少“低头族…
