We often chase after things in the outside world. We hope to earn more money and that our hard work in the workplace will be recognized. Achieving these things is what people call success. But, if we focus too much on these pursuits, we can end up hurting ourselves. Today, I want to introduce you to 'The Eternal Snow Beauty,' a short story written by Pai Hsien-yung(白先勇).

你知道很「台」指的是什麼呢? 通常你聽一個人說話或發音的口音夾雜「台灣國語」,我們會覺得他很有台灣味,也就是很「台」的感覺。我在這裡所謂的很「台」的元素也可以指大家所稱的「台客」。說一個人很「台」在過去這個詞有些貶低的意思。現在的台灣人所說的「台客」指的是土生土長的台灣人,通常給人一種親切的感覺。 📢單集字稿👇transcript for each episode: https://shorturl.at/Nbhh1 📢學習單連結頁面👇For Study Guide: http://ko-fi.com/taiwanlanguageepisode/tiers 🙏支持這個頻道 | Support this Podcast https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bfdbabf7-530e-42d8-8a9c-234a417e9682 ☕Buy me a cup of coffee to support this program: https://ko-fi.com/taiwanlanguageepisode Source: 《歡喜就好》陳雷_試聽版 -- ...
