每日口說挑戰每個人逛超市時都犯了這些錯誤，來當個更聰明的消費者吧！ (Huge Mistakes Everyone Makes At The Grocery Store)

*今天算有精神，回到邊通勤走路邊打字的時光

We have to do a lot of preparation before a typhoon strikes and most importantly, we have to go shopping at a grocery store or a supermarket to stock up on food(儲存食物）.

What are your go-to foods when a typhoon is raging outside of the window?

* Raging: continuing with great force or intensity.

I die for a steaming(熱氣騰騰的） cup of instant noodles when curling up (蜷缩)on my couch at a stormy (暴風雨的）night and watching some movies.

But other than getting prepared for a typhoon, we go to grocery stores to shop for everyday necessities all the time and today’s video tells us about all the way we might have been doing our shopping wrong(所有我們都可能消費的方式都是錯的）.

Bemoan is a verb and it means to regard with displeasure, disapproval or regret or to complain or to express sadness about something.

Produce is a noun and it means an agricultural product, especially the fresh foods or vegetables as distinguishes from (而非)grains and other staple crops(其他主食類作物）.

*as opposed to: 而非

The income of the farm depends entirely on its produce.

This area produces some of the best teas in Asia

to keep sth. in check (phr.): to limit something.

We have to keep our expenses in check since we are expecting a baby(想要有小孩).

If fruits or vegetables are in season(當季的), they are being produced in the area and are available and ready to eat.

If fruits and vegetables are out of season, they do not grow in an area that during that time.

We barely have watermelons in winter because they are out of season.

Thank you, Estelle.

水果很貴…那就不要買吧！不是也有一派中醫叫人家少吃甚至不要吃水果？剛好省起來…

這樣算不算省錢的技巧？

對了，不要沒事去逛超市，缺什麼就列清單，衝進去拿完直接結帳，這樣最省。

人們常怨嘆農產品很貴，但有個簡單的方式讓你買蔬果時不預算赤字，就是買當季的。

前陣子去買過季的西裝襯衫，真的是很便宜呢，若不是真的要穿可能還真的不太會買。

昨天把我 Medium 翻譯跟文章整個弄成一個專欄了，這樣大家要看也更方便。

如果有興趣的大家就麻煩到 Medium 搜尋「不專業翻譯專欄」，就有 Publications 可以點，這樣要看文章也更方便囉，而且我的產能實在是很低所以不用擔心文章多到找不到（Ｘ

原本打算昨天要把中英文自傳跟履歷及更新翻譯專欄的，結果光是分析自己的優勢和工作的契合度就寫了好長一篇文，最後也只完成了中文履歷，但分析自己之後同時發現連面試的內容也一併準備好了，我想這算是提前準備該準備的吧！

當季也是很貴啊@@ 但各行各業總是要過日子的吧。
