- 1:32Speaker 2: Así que empecemos con el primer proverbio de hoy. El
- 1:34Speaker 2: primer proverbio es... Sí, este proverbio, en inglés, la traducción
- 1:35Speaker 2: literal es... Algo así, podemos traducirlo, ¿sí? Maybe you have
- 1:58Speaker 2: the same, maybe it's the same. This is, you know,
- 2:00Speaker 2: when someone gives you something, a gift, a present, it's
- 2:05Speaker 2: better not to say something. It's better not to, like,
- 2:09Speaker 2: just receive the gift. I don't know, like, not start
- 2:13Speaker 2: anything like, oh, why you need to do that? You
- 2:15Speaker 2: don't have to. Just take it. Yeah, this person is
- 2:17Speaker 2: giving you a gift, a present, because you deserve it.
- 2:20Speaker 2: So just take it and don't look. and start finding
- 2:26Speaker 2: things to not accept the gift. The number two proverb
- 2:30Speaker 2: of today is Más vale pájaro en mano que siento volando.
- 2:37Speaker 2: And the translation is A bird in the hand is
- 2:39Speaker 2: worth two in the bush. Interesting. What is that? So,
- 2:46Speaker 2: I think it's the same in English. It means that
- 2:47Speaker 2: it's better to take something that is sure and something
- 2:52Speaker 2: that you don't know what can be in the future.
- 2:56Speaker 2: You don't need to take the risk. Just take the
- 2:59Speaker 2: thing or do the thing that is for sure that
- 3:01Speaker 2: you know that it will be possible and don't take
- 3:04Speaker 2: the risk. And don't take the risk. Yes. And this
- 3:07Speaker 2: is the second proverb of today. And the third proverb
- 3:11Speaker 2: of today is aquí en madrugá. Dios le ayuda. Yes. So,
- 3:16Speaker 2: the early verb catches the worm. It's because the verb,
- 3:18Speaker 2: when they are looking for the food, yes, they are
- 3:20Speaker 2: going early to find the food first because the one
- 3:22Speaker 2: that wake up late will not find something to eat. So,
- 3:24Speaker 2: it means that when we wake up early, the day
- 3:26Speaker 2: can be more productive and we can do a lot
- 3:27Speaker 2: of things more than The one that wake up late.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Something like that. Madrugar is the verb that we use when,
- 3:48Speaker 2: you know, you wake up early. Yeah. And the fourth
- 3:52Speaker 2: proverb of today is Ojo por ojo. Diente por diente.
- 3:58Speaker 2: A knife for a knife. A tooth for a tooth. Ajá.
- 4:01Speaker 2: The same like in English. Yeah, guys. And what is
- 4:04Speaker 2: the meaning of this interesting proverb? El significado de este
- 4:08Speaker 2: propósito es que este propósito es de la Biblia, ¿sí?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Y conocida como la ley del talión, ¿sí? La ley
- 4:14Speaker 2: del talión. Si haces algún daño a alguien, tal vez
- 4:19Speaker 2: lo harás como evitando la venganza del otro, como en
- 4:23Speaker 2: la escena original, ¿sí? En ese contexto. Así que es
- 4:28Speaker 2: muy entendible. Un ojo para un ojo, un dedo para
- 4:31Speaker 2: un dedo, ¿sí? very cool very cool so this is
- 4:38Speaker 2: yeah it's about compassion about forgiving about giving the other
- 4:43Speaker 2: chick if someone do something to you something like that
- 4:47Speaker 2: and the other one is no hay mal que por
- 4:50Speaker 2: bien no venga yes every cloud has a silver lining
- 4:57Speaker 2: no hay mal que por bien no venga it's very
- 4:59Speaker 2: popular problem in our culture and it means that even
- 5:04Speaker 2: even Cuando tengamos un día malo, está bien. Después de
- 5:06Speaker 2: este mal día, vamos a tener un buen día. O
- 5:07Speaker 2: cuando algo malo sucede, significa que, sí, tal vez esto
- 5:09Speaker 2: suceda porque en el futuro va a ser algo bueno
- 5:11Speaker 2: y debe pasar algo malo. Y el siguiente es Del
- 5:13Speaker 2: dicho al hecho hay un trecho. Es más fácil decirlo
- 5:14Speaker 2: que hacerlo. Es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo. Es para
- 5:16Speaker 2: las personas que siempre dicen, lo haré, lo haré, lo haré,
- 5:19Speaker 2: y no hacen nada. Así que, Dicho al hecho hay
- 5:35Speaker 2: un trecho. It means that if you promise to do something,
- 5:38Speaker 2: you better do it. You better do it and not
- 5:41Speaker 2: just promise and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, it's más fácil
- 5:44Speaker 2: decirlo que hacerlo. It's like too easy to say than
- 5:48Speaker 2: to do it. And the next one is el que
- 5:51Speaker 2: no arriesga no gana. Yes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Yes, guys.
- 5:58Speaker 2: It means that if you want to win something, Tienes
- 6:02Speaker 2: que arriesgar, tienes que tomar el riesgo, tienes que probar,
- 6:08Speaker 2: probar algo, pero si no lo haces, nunca ganarás. Sí,
- 6:12Speaker 2: tienes que, esto es, creo que es popular para las
- 6:14Speaker 2: personas que juegan en el casino o en juegos. Sí,
- 6:17Speaker 2: no arriesgas en Uganda porque tienes que tomar el riesgo
- 6:18Speaker 2: y perder dinero para ganar algo o incluso la lotería. Sí,
- 6:24Speaker 2: en general, en el amor, en el negocio, en la
- 6:26Speaker 2: vida personal, todo. It means that you need to get
- 6:30Speaker 2: out from this comfort zone. Yes, like I did it
- 6:33Speaker 2: and now look where I am. Here in this podcast
- 6:35Speaker 2: and also living in different countries because I take the risk.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Yo arriesgué y gané. The next one is a mal
- 6:39Speaker 2: tiempo buena cara. Make the best of a bad situation. Yes,
- 6:41Speaker 2: it means that if you have a bad moment in
- 6:42Speaker 2: your life, Put the good face, the happy face, because
- 6:59Speaker 2: this will not last forever. It will be temporary and
- 7:02Speaker 2: then you will take the situation like a positive way.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Like in a positive way. And the number nine is
- 7:10Speaker 2: dime con quien andas y te diré quien eres. Dime
- 7:14Speaker 2: con quien andas y te diré quien eres. A man
- 7:16Speaker 2: is known by the company he keeps. Yes. It means
- 7:20Speaker 2: that if you have a very bad friend, if you
- 7:23Speaker 2: have friends that are doing drugs or maybe criminal friends,
- 7:28Speaker 2: And if you tell me those are your friends, I
- 7:32Speaker 2: will tell you who you are. It means that be
- 7:34Speaker 2: careful with the company that you make, with the people
- 7:37Speaker 2: that you are surrounded by, because maybe those people are
- 7:40Speaker 2: not the right people to be near you or they
- 7:44Speaker 2: can have bad influence on you and make you do
- 7:48Speaker 2: something bad. So it means like this friend have, I
- 7:52Speaker 2: don't know, a bunch of criminals or people doing drugs.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Or how to say it, like doing something bad. I
- 7:57Speaker 2: would say, okay, this is your friend. Maybe he is
- 8:00Speaker 2: like that. Okay, I know that we don't need to judge.
- 8:02Speaker 2: But if the friends are like this, it's better not
- 8:05Speaker 2: to have it. So, and dime con quien andas y
- 8:08Speaker 2: te diré quien eres. Yes, and the last one of
- 8:10Speaker 2: today is En casa del herrero, cuchillo de palo. The
- 8:15Speaker 2: showmaker's son always goes barefoot. Yeah, this one is a
- 8:17Speaker 2: very interesting one. Proverbs. And it's not so popular for
- 8:23Speaker 2: some people. But it means that if you are good
- 8:25Speaker 2: at something, you need to do it good. And if
- 8:28Speaker 2: you are good at something, for example, imagine that you
- 8:31Speaker 2: are the person who... Okay, you are a chef. And
- 8:35Speaker 2: your kitchen needs to be clean because you are a chef.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Imagine that you are a mechanic. So, you need to
- 8:43Speaker 2: have your car working like perfect because you are a mechanic.
- 8:47Speaker 2: It's your profession. And... It's like me, I am a podcaster,
- 8:52Speaker 2: I am a teacher, Spanish teacher, so I try to
- 8:55Speaker 2: do everything connected with my profession, with my area, with
- 8:59Speaker 2: my sphere, like in the best way possible, yeah. It
- 9:03Speaker 2: means that treat your job or the things that you
- 9:06Speaker 2: do connected with, yeah, in the best way possible. Yes, guys.
