Lectie de Engleza: Gluttony

16 Nov 2008

Data trecuta va intrebam cum se pronunta “surreptitiously” si am promis ca o sa va lamuresc.

Se pronunta sureptişăsli.

Azi o sa vorbim despre o forma de lacomie, despre glutonie.

Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste. In some Christian denominations, it is considered one of the seven deadly sins—a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy.

Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. Gluttony is not a sin in some cultures. The relative affluence of the society can affect this view both ways. A wealthy group might take pride in the security of having enough food to eat to show it off, but it could also result in a moral backlash when confronted with the reality of those less fortunate.

De ce glutonie? Pentru ca nu pot sa ma abtin in preajma unor cheeseburgeri, in preajma produselor de patiserie, in preajma ciocolatii sau pizzei.

Cati Cristi nascuti in 1986, in Constanta, cunosti? Si cati dintre ei sunt studenti in anul 4 la Universitatea Maritima Constanta?

Dintre toti, pastreaza-i doar pe aia care fumeaza Lucky Strike, restul impusca-i! Concedieaza-i pe cei care n-au "Art Director" inscriptionat pe cartea lor de vizita si stai la o bere cu ala care a ramas.

Oricum, n-o sa asculte punk cu tine.
