[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Qilian Mountains, across China's Gansu and Qinghai provinces, stretch for about 800 kilometres from east to west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a huge mountain range, composed of many parallel mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About one third of the peaks of the Chilean mountains are more than four thousand meters above the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are more than 3,000 glaciers storing tens of billions of cubic meters of water in solid form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If all the glaciers were to melt, the water generated would be enough for a city of 20 million people to use for about 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, this mountain system in northwest China is an island surrounded by drought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chilean mountains are bounded by deserts on three sides. To the east is the Los Plateau with little rainfall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The glaciers in the mountains determine the fate of this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each time the weather gets warmer, the melted ice and snow of the Chilean mountains brings life to the deserts of northwest China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the north of the Chilean mountains along the mountain range from east to west, meltwater from the ice and snow nourishes a narrow area of about 1,200 kilometers. This region, known as the Hershey Corridor, is an important part of the ancient Silk Road.

[Assistant] Every year we have to clear about 22 kilometers of road with the snow depths from 1 meter to 12 meters. And it's a huge task.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have nothing but snow white walls around you and it makes it a endurance test. You have to be really concentrated because one wrong move and you could veer off the mountainside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel proud when we are finished, uh, because we made this, uh, beautiful gem accessible. The only downside is, uh, we have to wait another year for, to, to do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The early spring is a very busy time here at the farm. We have a very short window to make sure that everything is in place, everything is prepared for the bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We owe a lot to the bees, because they do a very difficult process, which is to take the pollen from one flower and take it to the next one. If we would have to do this for ourselves, it would be very, very tricky work to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an amazing day, uh, to come to the, to the farm, uh, see that the bloom went very well, that the bees did their job. We are very happy with the potential that we are seeing on the trees.

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 19, An Evil Plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head priest called for two other priests, who quickly ran into the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the first priest. The head priest smiled. There was an evil look in his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meditating on a rooftop when he heard footsteps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked down and saw two priests walking across the courtyard. They were carrying bundles of firewood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are they starting a fire?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The priest stacked the firewood next to the building the Tang monk was sleeping in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon most of the monastery's buildings were on fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was one building however that the fire didn't touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tang Monks slept peacefully as the rest of the monastery burned down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tang monk's eyes filled with tears. He looked angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two priests fell to their knees and bowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong glared at the two priests for a moment. Then he relaxed. Stand up, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West. Chapter 20. The Black Bear Spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong glared at the two scared priests. The robe is gone? He cried. Where did it go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And put the iron bar back in his ear. The Tang monk looked at the two priests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong leaped into the air and landed up in the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He jumped over the boulder and landed in the middle of the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spirit's off the lead in different directions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong chased the bear until they reached a cave entrance. The bear ran inside and slammed the door shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He jabbed his lance at Wukong. Flang! The monkey blocked the lance with his iron bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rocks tumbled and rolled downhill as the two warriors fought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After an hour of fighting, the Black Wind King held up a hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong's jaw fell open. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Wukong could say anything else, the bear ran back into his cave. The door slammed shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 21, The Monster's Friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was telling the Bodhisattva everything that had happened at the monastery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is the Black Wind King's cave? asked Guan Yin. It's close, said Wukong. We should sneak up to it. They heard footsteps coming closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong and Guanyin hid as a Taoist priest walked along the path. The priest was holding a tray. A bright purple pill sat on the tray. The priest was talking to himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong stared at the priest, using his magic sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you still here, you little monkey? shouted the Black Wind King. Then he saw the priest and smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ask the priest. Yes, said the bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He held up the tray with the pill. The Black Wind King looked interested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bear picked up the pill and opened his mouth wide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he brought the pill up to his mouth the pill wiggled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before the Black Wind King could finish speaking, the pill hopped off his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West. Chapter 22. A very strange pill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Black Wind King took a step back. He looked confused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The entire cave filled with light. The bear squeezed his eyes shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong jumped up and down, did flips, and ran around in circles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give back the robe, said Guan Yin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guan Yin held up a metal headband. It looked just like the one on Wukong's head. She placed it on the bear's head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong, come out now, said Guanyin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tiny Wukong popped out of the Black Wind King's nose. He quickly grew to his normal size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bear pointed to a dark room in the back of the cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Wukong left to get the robe, the Black Wind King charged at Guan Yin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wan Yin threw four more metal bands at him. Two clamped onto his wrists. The other two clamped onto his ankles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Black Wind King looked at the ground and sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bodhisattva led the bear out of the cave and vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Wukong. The two travelers headed west again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong told the monk about his adventure with the Black Wind King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stopped talking and pulled out his iron bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's bad enough that there are dangers along the journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to fry these criminals. Let's start with Sun Wukong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He made that statue look like himself! That rotten monkey!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's bad enough that Sun Wukong wanted to escape. But did he really have to break my frying pan too? He stamped his foot. Bring out another frying pan!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I can help you pack. We should start looking for a new place for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I can help you pack. We should start looking for a new place for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I can help you pack. We should start looking for a new place for you ASAP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They attacked me! You attacked us first!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'll be a true love of mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 29, The Magic Sleeve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two angry priests went outside and gasped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside the Abbey, the Tang monk was scolding his companions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Bajie. Wukong gave the priest a suspicious look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew they were lying, but he didn't know why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The priest led the group to a small room in the abbey. The Tang monk and his companions went inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong noticed that the priest didn't come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was about to say something when one priest slammed the door shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The four travelers escaped that night and headed west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tang monk glanced nervously at his companions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the man. He suddenly stood much taller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong pulled out his iron bar. Bajie and Wujing raised their weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great immortal rose into the air and landed on a cloud. Wukong laughed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His sleeves swooped down toward Hukong and his companions. Instantly they were all swept up in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm tired and hungry. Let's stop for lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, so he's most famous perhaps for his book, The Origin of the Species, and we're going to be talking a lot about science today, so put your thinking caps on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same here. I'm up to my neck in work, but at least you've got summer holidays after finals. Where are you headed now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Why? How can you not like Darwin? His work turned thousands of years of ideas about creation on their head. His theory of evolution revolutionized the fields of biology and anthropology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that question is better suited for my philosophy class. In the meantime, how about we settle this with a duel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so before we get to talking about some of the ideas in today's dialogue, let's talk about some of the words and phrases that we hear to understand better what's going on. The first part we're going to talk about in today's language takeaway. Language takeaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he revolutionized these because he pushed them forward. He made many changes. He forced changes. So people had to change the way that they thought about these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, you can think of the word revolution, which is a thing. So you think of the Russian Revolution or the American Revolution. These are times of change. So to revolutionize is to bring about change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good question. So, uh, you're not a monkey, I'm not a monkey, but we come from monkeys, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so the process is called human evolution. That means the process by which humans changed forms to become what we are today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no, we have another word for the negative, right? So the positive is to evolve, to be, become better. Uhm, to get worse is to de-evolve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To devolve, to go back and to kind of lose things that you had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so natural selection is a process again, and it's, uh, the process by which, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stronger animals survive over time and weaker animals don't. So uhm, if there's a weak species, it can't really survive because it keeps dying and dying and then finally there's no more. And so this is called natural selection because no one's actually choosing what animals will survive, but it's kind of a natural process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there are many different kinds of animals. You could even say there are many different kinds of, uhm, like mammals. But there are many different species within that. So, uhm, human beings, black bears, koalas, chimpanzees, these are all species. And so a species is a classification. So the origin of the species is kind of a way of telling the story of how all these things came about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first one is great. It's uh, it's very visual. You say I'm up to my neck in work. I'm up to my neck in papers to write. Alright, so this means I have so much stuff to do that you could pile it up and it would come up to my neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and so I could say I'm up to my neck in work. I have no more time to do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and sick comes first, so I'm sick and tired of this. I'm sick and tired of your bad attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just tired of it. I don't want you to have a bad attitude anymore. I'm just, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said Marco, it's split into two parts. So uhm, he turned the field of computer science on its head. So to turn on its head means to completely reverse something. To turn it around. You think 180 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so if biology used to be one way, then, uhm, Darwin made it completely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, years and years later, we had Albert Einstein who turned those theories, or who turned that theory on its head with his own ideas about physics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, the cookies are gone out of the kitchen, Marco. And I saw you in the kitchen, so clearly you ate the cookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same here. I'm up to my neck in work, but at least you've got summer holidays after finals. Where are you headed now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Why? How can you not like Darwin? His work turned thousands of years of ideas about creation on their head. His theory of evolution revolutionized the fields of biology and anthropology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, and this is a big source of controversy, especially in the United States, because uhm, in some places people want to teach creationism as well as evolution in schools. And so this is the big question. Are they still equal as theories or is one theory more proven than the other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, and there are some people who would say that we have lots of ways of, uhm, of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's always changes in science, so how can we be sure that what we know now isn't false? Isn't misunderstanding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, and uh, just a reference, creationism is the idea that God created the world, or a superior being created the world, and that everything came from that. And so, let us know what you think. I am very curious too, and uh, that's about it for today. Alright, we'll see you guys there. Bye bye.

[Assistant] And it is possibly one of the Chinese people most cherished plants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a bamboo forest in Sichuan province in southwest China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds of millions of bamboos cover 27 mountains and more than 500 peaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they are able to grow from shoots to mature bamboo in just 40 days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as countless streams overflowing from this bamboo sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The United States has signed a nuclear accord with Chile despite growing misgivings in the country about the safety of nuclear power. The Chilean government said the deal focused on training nuclear engineers rather than building a reactor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chile suffered a devastating earthquake last year and environmental groups have questioned the decision to invest more in nuclear energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Roman Catholic Church has welcomed a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that the display of crucifixes in state schools is acceptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vatican described the ruling as historic, saying the crosses were an expression of the cultural and religious identity of traditionally Christian countries. A woman in Italy had complained that crucifixes at a local school violated secular principles and were discriminatory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a terrible thing to do, Wukong, said Guan Yin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great immortal's ginseng tree is older than heaven and earth. It was a rare treasure. The monkey shrugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This vase is filled with magic dew, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're lying. I will have you arrested for making up such a story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friends and I are helping the KING of the Black Rooster Kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use the tight headband spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I didn't really feel like going out. I guess I'm feeling a little homesick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, it's just that the holidays are coming up and I won't be able to go home because I can't afford the airfare. I'm just longing for some of the comforts of home, like my mom's cooking and being around my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I could really go for that. You don't mind being my wingman for tonight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! I must warn you though, whatever happens, don't let me go on a drinking binge. Trust me, it's not a pretty picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I didn't really feel like going out. I guess I'm feeling a little homesick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, it's just that the holidays are coming up and I won't be able to go home because I can't afford the airfare. I'm just longing for some of the comforts of home, like my mom's cooking and being around my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! I must warn you though, whatever happens, don't let me go on a drinking binge. Trust me, it's not a pretty picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my name is Katherine and today Marco, you and I are talking about movies, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I kinda like arguments. Lots of great words and phrases for you to learn here in English. Uh, but we've got an upper intermediate level lesson with, uh, some people who are not getting along very well, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking of taking you back home. I thought we could have a nice evening, but you're always so negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're unbearable! You can walk home, I'm leaving. Fine!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chick flick. So first of all, the word chick means a woman, it's slang, and it's not very nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So this is a slang phrase. It's a flick. So, hey, Marco, what flicks are showing at the movie theater?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How to lose a guy in ten dates or the Devil Wears Prada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so chick flick is a girl's or woman's movie. Uh, and uh, next up we have a word, sarcastic. We're talking about sarcastic jokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so it's kind of like by saying, he's really funny. You're saying, yeah, he's a funny guy. But if I say, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so critical. To criticize someone is to, uhm, to complain about them or to say that the things that they do are not very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this movie wasn't very good. It wasn't funny. The actors were bad. It was really long. These are criticisms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gosh, you're unbearable. So the root of this word is to be able to, like, to stand something, to bear it. And so if you're unbearable, uh, something is unbearable, you just can't stand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This first one's a common one, especially when we talk about women and men and the relationship between women and men, we say about men that maybe they should be more in touch with their feelings or their feminine side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good question. Well, what you're saying is that you want to be able to express your feelings more or you want to be able to understand more about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, your, your feminine side or something like this. So, uh, to be in touch with is, is more about yourself. It's about self-reflection and self-understanding. So, so, uh, you could say, I'm a very serious person, but I want to make some changes in my life, so I'm trying to be more in touch with my inner child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's romantic, right? So it can be between uhm, two different people, they meet each other one night, uhm, they have a relationship for one night only and then they never see each other again. So it's uh, it's casual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we can say this in many different ways. He's no saint. She's no saint. Or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm no saint. You're no saint. So a saint is a good person. It's a, it's a word that we use in religion to say someone who's like Mother Teresa or someone who's just really good and kind and doesn't commit any sins. Exactly. And so to say I'm no saint is to say, well, I do bad things or if I say bad things, I'm not perfect. Okay. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking of taking you back home. I thought we could have a nice evening, but you're always so negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see? That's what I'm talking about. I can't stand your sarcastic jokes anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Criticize Mario, or else I'll star in those fat drunk friends of yours. They're no saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're unbearable! You can walk home, I'm leaving. Fine!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, not couples that are happy, I would say, but uh, yeah, you definitely have people who are, well, I guess it's kind of the battle of the sexes, right? You have people who...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, are different genders, and so they don't always understand each other. You know, you want to have your girlfriends as a girl, and your girlfriends behave and talk in a certain way together, and guys do the same thing, but with their friends. And so sometimes you have these clashes, these interactions that are negative, and you know, when people are upset with each other, they say mean things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think a lot of times these problems also have to do with the fact that like when a girl is with her girlfriend, she maybe acts differently. Or when a guy is with his guy friends. And so that's weird sometimes for the relationship because you see your partner acting differently with other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We hope to see you on the website in the near future. Please get in touch with us. That's all for today. So bye bye. Bye.

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 46, 1000 Pills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lausa was busy working on a potion. Steam rose from the bubbling cauldron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly Wukong burst into the room. Hello, Lausa!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong walked around the room, looking at all the bottles and equipment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lousa went back to his potion and stirred. But then he stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone watched as the monkey put the pill in the king's mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the prince. He took his father's hands and bowed his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prince led everyone to the palace. They walked past guards and went into the throne room. The prince kneeled down before the Taoist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Taoist looked at a person standing near them. The person was wearing a hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong pulled out his iron bar and leaped toward the Taoist. The Taoist snapped his fingers and bashed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my name is Catherine and today we're talking about money issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and there are many different kinds. We're going to hear about one that's called a 401k, but we'll talk about that in a minute. First, let's listen to today's dialogue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I'm not sure about the details honestly, but the 401k plan is a plan for workers, people who are young and working, to invest in their retirement. And so it's a way to save money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and so before we have that, we have this conversation which starts with a documentary. So they're learning about 401ks. And in this case, the person says that they didn't understand a lot because there was a lot of technical jargon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking or special words related to a certain topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well jargon then is a special language for a certain industry or field. And in this case we're learning about financial jargon and investment jargon. So we're talking about 401ks and funds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the question is who deducts money and where does it all go? And so to deduct means to take away and this means in a 401k plan, the government will deduct money from your paycheck and put it into a special savings plan for you that you can access when you're retired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you might recognize a word there, distrust, trust. They have the same root. And so to trust someone is to believe in them and to believe what they say. But to distrust means to think what they're saying is a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, so if someone says, trust me, I will take your money and I won't spend it. You say, I just trust this person. That means I don't trust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you hear this word a lot in the news or in the newspaper. You can have a corrupt government or a corrupt politician. That means that the government does things but says it doesn't and maybe is dishonest. It's distrustful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a corrupt politician will take money from the government institutions to use for himself and not for the country or the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, to save. So in this case, to put away is, uh, is a fixed phrase, these words that go together very often, and it means to save. So you could say, oh yeaah, last year I put away a thousand dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know, I don't know where it comes from, but it does mean money that you've saved up for some date in the future. So you could say, I'm trying to grow a nest egg, I'm trying to build a nest egg, so that in 10 years I can buy a house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, it's your, it's your savings that you don't touch. So I could say, I'm gonna kill you! You spent the nest egg!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, maybe if you're five years old, but uh, I don't know if I'd put a lot of money in a piggy bank. Piggy bank is usually a ceramic...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's important to spend as little as possible so that you can create a nest egg or some kind of savings account for the future because it'd be nice to have a car or a house someday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and I know that in America right now, in the news, the credit crisis is very popular to talk about. And so part of this economic situation is that people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 好 我们竹子讲过来哈 看到前面几句


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the first two sentences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I enter, and I slowly go insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I slowly go insane. Oceans apart day after day and I slowly go insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hear your voice on the line. I hear your voice on the line. But it doesn't stop the pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Body, body doesn't stop the pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I see you next to Never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I see you next to never, if I see you next to never, how can we say forever? How can we say forever?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, how my heart breaks. How my heart breaks. How my heart breaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will be right here waiting for you. I will be right here waiting for you.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau of China is how it would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The total cast area in China is 140,000 square kilometers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jurgin Cave National Geopark is just one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jojeen Grand Canyon is a miraculous natural landscape revered by geologists as a top-class karst landscape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are seven natural bridges on the upper and lower levels, which form a unique masterpiece among geoparks across China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Corrosion by running water opens a window to a subterranean world. Jijin Cave covers an area of more than 700,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 100 football fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The highest part of the cave is 50 stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The huge cast deposits measuring 200 meters in length.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looked like an imposing sculpture or fresco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jujing Cave is endowed with more than 40 types of cast cave deposits and presents a variety of wonders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The formation of Jujing Cave has taken at least 2.5 billion years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Entering the cave is like stepping into a time tunnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels as though you are no longer on Earth, but rather have stepped into a land of fantasy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't tell them apart, said Wu Jing. They look exactly alike!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, we're going to learn how to drive, but not only how to drive, but all the vocabulary and words associated to this activity. So, uh, why don't we listen to this dialogue for the first time, and we'll be back to explain it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, great, so it's a great driving lesson just like the video games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so on language takeaway we have five words for you today. Starting with the first one, the steering wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. And, uh, well, apart from this instrument, also in order to look to other cars that are behind you, you would look at your rear view mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about the mirrors that are on the side of the car, on the doors?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. And well, moving on, he was instructing her on how to drive, and he said, step on the clutch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is for a manual car, manual transmission car because many people have automatics where you just accelerate and the car automatically changes gears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you step on the clutch and in order to change gear you say to shift into first gear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, to shift. And now, in the dialogue we heard to shift into first gear. So that's what it's called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so to shift into first gear. Awesome vocabulary, I think this is really useful, especially because it's very specific, so you don't really see it very often in anywhere, but sometimes you need to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so why don't we listen to the dialogue again, and we'll be back to explain Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back, so now why don't we take a look at four key phrases in Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about to, uh, when you want to turn off the car. Turn the car off. You say, stop the engine. Stop the car. Stop the car. Stop the engine, right? Alright, very good. Moving on, our next phrase is a million times. Why is this a phrase? A million times. This is pretty literal, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, awesome. And now, well, they were driving and they heard a police siren and the guy told her to pull over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so sometimes your mobile phone will ring as well, and you don't have a hands-free so you have to pull over to the side so you can pick up the phone, usually, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, awesome. Alright, and our last phrase for today is to take me alive, to take someone alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so to take someone alive is basically that. But is it literal? Would you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. Alright, so that's all the phrases we have for today. Why don't we listen to this dialogue for the last time, and we'll be back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back, so driving. Now, uh, this is interesting because as you mentioned, a lot of people in America usually have automatic transmissions. Whereas in Europe, maybe they have, uh, manual transmissions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, I remember when I was younger, my dad always bought cars that had a manual transmission because he said that if ever they break down, it's much easier and cheaper to fix in a car that has a manual transmission than it is to fix an automatic one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was also a case on television recently about a small child that actually the dialogue is based on it is uh, he took his dad's car and he was like seven years old and he was driving and was being chased by the police. No way. And then he pulled into his house and got out of the car and ran into the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So obviously he was an underage driver, but he didn't get into much trouble, but it was interesting because he drove very, very well. That's unbelievable. And, uh, basically almost learned it by game simulators, by video games on how you drive on a video game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So, uh, if you have any questions, any comments, or any other suggestions for lessons, please come to our website, EnglishPod.com, and we'll see you guys there. Bye everyone! Bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one in glasses is the professor. Murder for hire. I sense magic. There's a sorcerer among them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The professor is wanted in Redania, Temeria, and Kedwin. A real maggot. I don't recognize the sorcerer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the laboratory and you know it. Someone wants your famed commutogens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the mage aligned with the circle, he can create a stable portal through which he'll travel to anywhere on the continent, taking your equipment with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said I didn't know him. I think we should protect the lab above all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could be a hard fight, Geralt. Take this potion. Witchers call it the Tawny Owl. It restores endurance. Very useful when fighting mages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I underestimated him. Hurry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know we should set out, but I have a feeling we won't be back. Perhaps ever. Won't you stay just a bit longer with me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so happy you're back. When I saw you all the feelings I tried to deny returned stronger than ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. I shouldn't pressure you. I just feel so... the powers. I'm behaving like a teenager. Let's focus on the present. I guess I disappointed you all. Forgive me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I missed you so. Let's see if the best bed and care moron can hold us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, Geralt. A pleasure, as always.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you have something to look forward to then. No matter. Tell me, how did the battle end?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor Vesemir, another prodigy dead prematurely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's not lose any more time. Unless there's something you'd like to ask me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd have to examine you. There's a good chance your memory will return on its own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not many of those left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps. Anything's possible. But speculating wastes time. We just don't have enough information.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What can you feel? Can you feel the rough sand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you like to do at the beach? Draw a picture and write about it. Science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How is the beach the same as where you live? How is it different? Share your ideas with a partner.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monkey sailed over the ocean for a long time. Finally, he arrived at a new land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He walked for many years, visiting towns and meeting people. But he didn't find a sage anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually he came to mountains covered in thick forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He headed up a steep mountain trail and soon heard chopping. A woodcutter was chopping firewood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the woodcutter. Thank you! Said monkey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He waved goodbye to the woodcutter and ran up the trail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon he saw a temple built into the side of the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suboti was sitting with his students in the main room of his temple. He looked at his oldest student.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A moment later, Monkey was standing in front of the Sage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He asked. Monkey scratched his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next seven years, Sun Wukong lived in Sabodi's temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey spent his days meditating, listening to his teacher's lessons, and doing chores. One day, while Saboti was giving a lesson, Wukong started to dance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asked Tsuboti. Wukong shrugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Wukong. Suboti became angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other students all agreed. Wukong however smiled.

[Assistant] A charmer? If this conversation carries on, I'll want some of that fruit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some men are troubling my girls. Take care of it and we'll compensate you. Generously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some local boys take care of us. They just couldn't handle those freaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 200 orans, unless you'd rather collect another way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The good book says, no service goes unrewarded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll make it known around town and amongst the working girls. We whores know how to show gratitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're quite unique, but there's no shortage of frauds who'd pretend they're you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's agree, you'll bring the girls flowers if there's any doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For certain. I've never heard of a patron who gave flowers to a whore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Son Wukong came to my palace and demanded I give him a weapon. He was very rude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care how powerful he is. He is causing too much trouble on Earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gather some troops and go down to the Fruit and Flower Mountain. I want Sun Wukong arrested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Invite Wukong to come to live in heaven. He will be in charge of the royal peach garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong is new here. He can be excused for not acting the right way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm putting you in charge of the royal peach garden. You will have a home here in heaven. I hope you won't cause any more trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to Plum Mountain. Ask Erlang if he'll help us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he defeated our entire army. Erlang is trying to catch him now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonder how I know you? No? So be it. What you want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy melly telly. A drowned dead. That earns you 200 orans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depends, but on average, 80 oranges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the? Unlike any ghoul I've seen. Here, 200 oranges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those five pounds of fish tech were for personal use!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey you! Jailer! At least move me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna be with the politicals. Politics makes you rot. I'm a decent thief, let me out! Shut your trap! I'm busy!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 15, Tea with a Dragon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, we're just monks. We don't have any money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong approached the men. They all laughed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His iron bar grew and his eyes flashed red with anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey is a spirit, cried one man. Run, cried another. The robbers tripped over one another, trying to get away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong raise the iron bar, ready to strike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tang monk sighed and then continued his journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the Tang monk. Don't you have anyone with you? Asked the woman. You can't go there alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your companion will come back, said the woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old woman whispered a magical spell to the Tang monk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a flash of bright light, and the woman rose into the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cried the Tang Monk. He got down from his horse and bowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, Wukong sat in the palace of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea. He and the Dragon King were drinking tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong folded his arms and looked at the ground. The Dragon King continued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm cooking a traditional Temerian sauerkraut stew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If memory serves, a witcher is like a magical warrior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's nothing. My husband slaughtered a pig, and I decided to make sauerkraut stew. I have other specialties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made ribs in mead yesterday. Care for some?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That old fool found himself a succubus. Thinks I can't hear them frolic in at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll need nine handfuls of glimmering dust from the hair of noon wraiths in the fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have this herb manual listing local herbs. Bring me dust to scare off the succubus and you'll have the book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give myself to you right now on the nearest rock. You merely need to give me a nicer ring than the one Julian gave Alina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every year after Christmas, or well during the Christmas holidays, we talk about New Year's, New Year's Day, and a very important topic, New Year's Resolutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, great, we're back. So this is very typical, a New Year's resolution that you make, but then people don't really stick to it, etc. They don't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, usually they don't. Alright, but uhm, you're probably wondering what is a New Year's resolution, so why don't we take a look at this word and many more on Language Takeaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you pretty much, the verb that you use there is to resolve to do something. So, my New Year's resolution is to, you know, go to the gym every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So, and this is very common, right, among Americans. They try and, because it's a new year, it's a fresh start, so they wanna start doing something great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they go together, right? So goods are tangible items, things that you buy, you know, like food, or, you know, clothes, the TV, etc. Stuff. Stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And services of course are other things like for example going to the doctor or the dentist or any other service you get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very good. And well, moving on, as we mentioned with the New Year's resolution, we had that verb there, to resolve. So, what does it mean if I want to resolve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. And not to be confused with like, to solve, right? It has no, no real relation there, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. And well, our last word for language takeaway is brand new. A brand new. Something that's brand new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So brand new, a brand new car, a brand new watch, etc. A brand new movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. So, uh, great phrases there. Very good. So great words there. Why don't we listen to the dialogue again? And we'll be back with three phrases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so on the go. And well, talking about New Year's resolution, and we say that well, many people resolve to, to do something, but they don't really do it. And we have a phrase that is used here, eh, to stick to something. Stick to your resolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, very good, so you're gonna stay with it, you're not gonna give up. Alright, so stick to something, like for example our English learners, they'll stick to learning English.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back, and well, as you mentioned, there were some interesting things about this dialogue, especially when they talked about a society that's always on the go. And you mentioned that, well, sometimes you eat on the go. And I've seen people in the United States that are actually eating while driving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, yeaah, that's really interesting because I think many of our listeners that are in other countries would find that a little bit peculiar if they actually went to the United States and saw somebody in their car, you know, like having a hamburger while driving, you know, and sipping on their soda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's the thing, you don't have much time, but actually this is based on, uh, true events, kind of, on the fact that, uh, many Americans do want to spend more time at home with their friends, with their family, because, as you say, you're always so busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, exactly. So we want to hear your comments and your opinions about this topic, so why don't you visit our website EnglishPod.com


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had you known this would happen, would you have chosen differently?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not surprised at your answer. You don't seem like one to look back. Visit my shop in Vizima for any ingredients you need for your potions at a discount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That dolt ran off. But during our brief acquaintance, he was certainly more talkative than you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No wonder, given Azar Javids persuasiveness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That lice-ridden village hick Odo came to us for advice on how to kill a warrior. We said someone so pathetic could only fight soldiers in dreams. Who's Azar Javed? A powerful mage. You're no match for him. We'll see. Your courage isn't lacking, witcheret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have confidence in my source. The mermaid Sheena's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sheena has mentioned your intelligence. I invite you to use it. Speak with the Varianoi Chaplain and the human named Julian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Servant, no. Women on occasion need men. To secure food and protection, naturally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hosts of knights once defended my honor, but that was long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My poor sickly fisher king alone remains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You assume correctly. You may speak to the Vardhinoy priest near my statue. Julian represents the humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will find clues on the nature of these objects on the statue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Requires other than a simple choice between destiny and free will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fought the legend of the Holy Grail. My bold knights, I know not why, determined to embark on a mission. They claimed it their destiny to find the Holy Grail. Alas, my powers cannot vanquish destiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just so. Know you the legend of the grail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speak with a hermit watching over the graves of those brave seekers. Though boring, he knows the grail's legend perfectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you return intent on a mission of paramount importance, believe me, I can be unpleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speak with him, and may one of you take up Destiny's threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, have you seen my son? He has straw colored hair, freckles on his nose, a child, twelve winters to him. Sorry, I haven't. I've been burning fires here to lead him through the mists. Oh my dear son. I hope you find him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, you see that old church on the hill? The Striga lives in the crypt. She awakes at night and roams about in search of blood. She leaves you alone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite heavy losses, we now control the trade quarter. Excellent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not just him. They're all leading out of my hand. I regret that Voltest is away at the summit, but I trust you'll tend to the King's Council.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He claims his superiors had similar plans, but we beat them to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men can do nothing but talk and then always claim the initiative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should you be up? I'd rather make sure you've recovered completely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you seem to be at full strength. It must be that unusual witcher's metabolism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was scanning for magic anomalies and happened upon a false trail set by Kalkstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. The alchemist is still there, examining solid stone. But he won't find anything. The greater anomalies are here in Vizima.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I'd appreciate it if you could help me figure them out. But back to your health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You misunderstood me. Physically nothing's wrong. It's your mind that worries me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You raved for hours. I had no choice but to read your thoughts to learn about your injuries and which poisons you took this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't help it. Your thoughts were quite loud. In any case, I know about your recent adventures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recover your memory? I doubt anyone can, but there's a small chance. A small chance of what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter what position, just that you choose one. A strong identity may help restore your memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't want you turning into my vision of Geralt. I want you to decide for yourself who you are, without looking back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You heard me? Ah, sorcerous business. Nothing important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long story. When you men went chasing around,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to look for salamandra using unconventional methods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get this information, I had to agree not to tell you. Patience, Witcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But more importantly, they can be the cause of true evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I last felt this way, you and a sorceress were trying to capture a genie, destroyed half a city in the process. You probably have no recollection, but a lot hung in the balance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have some magic sensors that need to be placed around Vizema. They'll help us locate the anomaly source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a perfect wall cavity in the trade quarter near town hall. Place one there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Louvardin, a merchant, wants to see you. He hosts banquets at the new Nerecourt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Including Princess Ada, whose curse you lifted? Apparently she's slightly obsessed with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six this evening. Here's the pass that makes you official in the trade quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in addition to a quarantine, the authorities of Azima have imposed martial law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only the quarters residents are allowed to move about. I have a house here, so I was able to get a pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I registered you as residing here. Falsely of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At three o'clock in the morning, he crept quietly through the dark temple. He entered Sobodi's room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Wukong knew how to live forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next few years, Wukong meditated and practiced the secret formulas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the student. Wukong stood up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He muttered a quick spell and made a sign with his hands. Suddenly, ZACH! The monkey was gone!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shouted. Everyone stopped cheering. Wukong quickly turned back into himself. Suboti's eyes flashed with anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He yelled. So Bodhi waited for the other students to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong hung his head. Goodbye, Master.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a short journey, Wukong arrived at the Fruit and Flower Mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They forced us to gather herbs, make fistek. One group hides in the cave near the old logging area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We wish to reward you. They're based at the former non-humans camp. You'd need an army to drive them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not wealthy, but Shani spoke of your kindness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he's very lazy. What should we do now? I'm going to sneak into Red Boy's cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aha! Thought Wukan. Bajie didn't take a nap after all. I must go to the real Guan Yin right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a problem, Bodhisattva, said the monkey. The Tang monk was caught by a demon named Red Boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon makes magic fire that water can't put out. Bajie was on his way here to ask for your help. But the demon made himself look like you and tricked the pig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Katie and Katie. I am. Written by Katie Delbridge and Katie Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Katie loved ghoul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, a new student joined Katie's class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The teacher said, Katie, your turn to read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both Katie's red. Ahem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be Kate, said Kate. I'll be Cat, said Cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West Chapter 59 Scared Villagers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The group had spent the morning walking down a long mountain trail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Startled, the man dropped his bucket down the well and spun around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside, they sat down as Chen boiled water for tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chen sighed and sat down. He started to cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally the monkey folded his arms and said I have a plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several villagers carried the platform to the edge of the river.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They placed the platform on the ground and then backed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a moment, everything was quiet. The boy sat alone on the platform. Suddenly a dark cloud approached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fierce looking demon emerged from the cloud. It had sharp teeth. The boy smiled at the demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have a boat, said the man. But someone in the village might. Please come with me. I'll make some tea. My name is Chen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's cruel, master. You should recite the tight headband spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Written by Susan Lennox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not sleepy, so I hide instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hide near puff behind the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hide near Graham inside the basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it is time to hide under the covers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Share your ideas with a partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is very important, but before we do get started, we have a very important word to preview in vocabulary preview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is freezing today, by the way, so this is very appropriate. Freezing means very, very, very cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so cold, in fact, you can't have water outside because the water will become ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A device on the wall that tells you how hot or how cold the house is. It's like a thermometer for your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so if it says it's 20 degrees and I think that's too cold, I can turn the thermostat up to 23 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so if you have central heating, you have a thermostat. That's the way to control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chili, okay, so there's a big difference between chili and freezing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freezing means very, very, very cold. Chili means a little cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, the dad had a furnace in his house, and the furnace is a way to heat your house. It's like a stove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this first phrase is related to thermostat, okay? So thermostat, like we said, is like a thermometer, but we can control the temperature. So, if we want to make the temperature hotter, we turn up thermostat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could say this about heat. You could say this about noise too. Can you turn up the radio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To increase, to make bigger or warmer or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so a bill is like, you know, something that you pay. It's money. And so in this case, I don't want you to run up the bill. That means to increase the amount of money I have to spend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, or if you talk on the phone 10 hours a day, you run up the phone bill and your mother kills you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so remember this, a cold is when you have maybe a runny nose and a cough and a sore throat. It usually happens when the weather changes, but we don't get a cold, you catch a cold. Remember like in baseball you throw and catch. It's something that's fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can't catch a flu, but you can catch a cold. Just remember this phrase, to catch a cold. I caught the cold. No, to catch a cold, or I caught a cold. It's almost like, if I have it, I can throw it to you, Marco. And you catch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people in the East, in the Tang Empire, need our help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lie, cheat and steal. They are greedy and constantly fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A true believer, a monk needs to come here to get them. Will anyone go to the east to find a worthy monk?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A boy named Alvin, at St. Lebiotas Hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He must have immense powers. Elder blood must course through his veins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gift of Lara. We must rein in Alvin's destructive abilities. Hurry, fetch him from the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not readily? Your friend Shani refuses to hand him over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Children of Elderblood attract creatures from the beyond. Ghosts and spectres. You might find this scroll useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Dandelion brought him here and explained. I knew I could count on you. Is Shawnee clear about this? No? Then go tell her the boy stays with me. End it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad that settled. Alvin needs someone who knows magic. Geralt, I wanted to talk to you about the future. About us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not jealous. I'd just like to know where we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please think about it, Geralt. We needn't talk. A symbolic gift would do. Say a ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could, but I don't want to. If you give me a ring, I'll treat it as a pledge. If you don't, I'll try to understand. See you, Witcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're sweet, you know. The only one I trust. You've endured a lot. Time for a reward. That little one's asleep. So let me show you some real magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geralt, it's a telecommunicator. It leaves a magical trace of any transfers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a bit of luck, we can use this to find the salamandra base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll talk to Luvarden about it. You're so good with Alvin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It allows conversations over short distances. With some knowledge of magic, one can draw quite a bit of information from it. If the Salamanders were using it to communicate with their base, I should be able to pinpoint its location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The communicator sent a signal to a house in Vizima. It's marked on your map. Is there something I should know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great. In time for our meeting with Luvarden. We'll discuss it with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geralt, you should know we've angered some powerful people. This meeting could change much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tend to any unfinished business emphysema and prepare. Afterwards it may be too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a sorceress, remember? And you think so loud, I can't help reading your mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Misunderstandings do arise between different members of the Order, but I take it we're clear about what we're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This may be our only chance. Akimbaga Hara!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my name is Catherine and today we're talking about a very important day in a couple's life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so this friend really saved the day, made sure that the groom didn't get too nervous, and uh, had some really positive words. So let's take a listen to some of these marriage words in today's Language Takeaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and so, you have a relationship, maybe you're dating, but once you get married, the thing between you, as a man and a woman, that's your marriage. Your marriage, okay. So you could say, our marriage is in danger. We need to work on our marriage. Exactly, or we have a happy marriage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To settle down. This is a very important phrase. To settle down means to get serious, mature, and to stop living like a child. It means really to have a house or to start having kids. It's, it's a, it's a time in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. So you often hear this in movies, she got left at the altar, or you can't leave her at the altar. This word, altar, is actually religious. Altar is the table in a church where the priest does all of his work. Right. Alright, so an altar is a special religious table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, he says, do you, Joe, take Samantha to be your bride? Blah, blah, blah. So that happens at a special place called the altar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is a very funny phrase in English because it doesn't actually mean that your feet are cold, right? So cold feet means you're nervous about something, you might change your mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, uh, people often talk about men and women getting cold feet before a wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could also say that, uhm, I guess we like animals in English, but uhm, this is just a really great way to say that someone is really sweaty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go through with means to actually do something, okay? So maybe I say, I don't want to jump out of an airplane. I can't go through with this, okay? I can't jump. So it depends on what we're actually talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To believe someone's story or to think that uhm, something's gonna happen even though it doesn't. You had me going there. That means what you thought was going to happen didn't happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you do, I'll recite the spell until your head really does explode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have five cockatrice feathers? Certainly. Thank you. Now sign the receipt. Next. Work at town hall.

[Assistant] Geralt of Rivia and Triss Merigold, welcome! Greetings. I thank you for coming. Look about the room and you will see the entire kingdom represented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forgive me, I must return to my duties. I'm certain we'll speak later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old saying goes, any enemy of mine is my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonderful. It's as we've heard. All secret societies need gold. Fistech yields the largest profits for salamander. Our spies say there's a new salamander camp in the swamps.

[Assistant] Ernie to the West. Chapter 22. A very strange pill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Black Wind King took a step back. He looked confused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The entire cave filled with light. The bear squeezed his eyes shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he opened them, Guan Yin was standing before him. Guan Yin! The bear cried. You tricked me with a disguise! Return the robe at once! Said Guan Yin. No! Said the Black Wind King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey punched and kicked the bear's insides. Boom! Pow! Boom! Pow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guan Yin held up the metal headband. It looked just like the one on Wukong's head. She placed it on the bear's head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong, come out now, said Guanyin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tiny Wukong popped out of the Black Wind King's nose. He quickly grew to his normal size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bear pointed to a dark room in the back of the cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Wukong left to get the robe, the Black Wind King charged at Guanyin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huan Yin threw four more metal bands at him. Two clamped onto his wrists. The other two clamped onto his ankles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Bodhisattva began reciting a spell, the bear screamed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong came back with the robe. When he saw the bear, he laughed. You have five of those bands!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Black Wind King looked at the ground and sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But led the bear out of the cave and vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Wukong. The two travelers headed west again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong told the monk about his adventure with the Black Wind King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stopped talking and pulled out his iron bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has been spirited away. Someone will pay for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guan Yin was here. She turned the dragon into a horse. He's supposed to come with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're Buddhists. The priests inside will gladly give us some food and a place to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he has such beautiful big eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you happen to pass by the inn, would you be kind enough to look in on my fiance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not speaking, he's very irritated. We argued about Alvin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wants to send Alvin to the temple of Melitella, or to be trained as a witcher. You'll find him at the tavern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you reassemble a shattered mirror? For 100 Arrens. Deal. Take the pieces. I'll pay you when you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A legend, you say. Maybe I should ask those who know folk wisdom. I promised Julian I'd free his beloved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need your help on a matter of a spiritual nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet she believes herself alive and is preparing to marry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alina's soul found peace. Selena? Well, there was no way I could help her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vorionoi priest has returned. I must speak with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've taken Behringer's job. Tell me about this conflict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon I will depart. I don't know if I'll find my grail but I must.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Milady, it seems I am needed in murky waters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll try to persuade them. Wait until I return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I to stand with Rayla and kill the elves before they murder the hostages? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just walk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to talk to White Rayla and Toruviel. Somehow I doubt this will be easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Release the peasants, then you can kill each other as you please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope he'll be alright. Triss, I've been thinking about us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfectly. I'll act as messenger for an appropriate fee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suspect I know who's behind this. Do you know where it came from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Swamp Cemetery. Copus Reuter. No problem. Anything else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plunder the grave of an elven songmaster. What else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I plan to eat you. Doesn't that sound terrible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing hurts him except for the tight headband spell. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're trying to reach the western paradise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of our difficult journey, the Tang Empire will have the true scriptures. You should be happy to do all this work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's called the Tiger Immortal. He recited prayers and right away rain fell. Since then, Daoists have been in charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They destroyed all the Buddhist monasteries and statues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That woman is a scorpion spirit. She is very dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, could you do me the favor of making this quick? It's the third quarter and you've been blabbering on since the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no you didn't. You didn't just insult the Salisbury Seals, did you? Why don't you just, just go return all those stupid clothes and not come back until the sales are over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Katherine and today we have an intermediate level lesson all about cell phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the name of this phone is kind of funny. It's called a smartphone. It's very popular these days. Things like the Apple iPhone or
