Text 9W:What are you doing,honey?M:I'm looking at some pictures of some special shoes.W:Why are they special?I'd like to know more about it.M:When the pandemic hit,Grigori Lup's business impacted.(14)He's a shoemaker in Romania,and his shop relies heavily on custom orders from theaters and opera houses across thecountry,as well as traditional folk dance ensembles.(15)However,as restrictions easedacross Europe,he realized that people didn't take social distancing seriously -so he cameup with the lengthy shoes as a way for them to keep their distance.W:So can the shoes really keep people apart?M:Yes.If two people wearing the shoes were facing each other,there would be almost a meterand a half between them.W:So how many such shoes did he make?M:Mr.Lup originally made 3 pairs and posted pictures of them on the social media.(16)But soon,he has had orders from around the world,and now features several different styles of socialdistancing shoes on the social media.W:How much does such a pair of shoes cost?M:S115 for one pair,(17)which takes him two days to make.Text 10W:Everyone,do you know why we say "under the weather"when we're sick?That just soundsstrange,right?To find out,I turned to a publication called Farmers'Almanac.Farmers'Almanacis not really meant for language learners.(18)It was founded in 1818 to help American farmersunderstand more about the natural world around them as they grow and harvest their crops.That is still its purpose today.The Farmer's Almanac website tells about all things weather-related.(19)To explain,"under the weather",the website published the writing of Richard Lederer,a word expert.Lederer notes that the expression "under the weather"comes from thelanguage of sailors.Imagine being on a boat on rough seas.The waves continually force the boatup and down and side to side.This continual movement can make many people feel seasick.(19)He writes that "on the high seas when the wind would start to blow hard and the wavesbecame rough,crewmen and travelers would go below deck."They actually went"under theweather"to find safety,shelter and to avoid becoming seasick.(20)Years ago,only sailorsdescribed seasick sailors as being "under the weather."But today,we use this expressionanytime when someone is not feeling well.第4页共4页
