In today's buzzword mix, our buzzword is Boysober.
Now you probably can guess this is another one of these new trends on social media.
First of all, let's take this new word apart, boy and sober.
You know the word boy, but what does sober mean?
The original meaning of sober is staying away from alcohol. For example, if you say I'm sober, that means you didn't drink any alcohol.
Sober这个词本身的意思它指的是清醒的, 通常是在我们说不喝酒的情况下.
So for example, if I normally drink, but then I decide not to drink for a month, then I can say I want to stay sober for this month while it's perfectly acceptable among drinkers to take a break from the booze and go sober for a while.
Now there is a movement on social media about going “boysober”. This movement began by American comedian Hope Woodard, she coined a phrase-going “boysober”.
这是由美国的一个喜剧演员在社媒上带火的一个概念, 叫做boysober.
It then has expanded into a social media movement, especially among Gen Z women on TikTok.
You probably can guess based on the word itself, the movement is about keeping your twenties untainted by toxic dating habits and roundabout relationships.
So essentially, you stay away from relationships, dating and all of these, stay away from boys and stay sober. 这个词被国内的社媒新媒体翻译成 “戒男色”.
So in this comedian’s words, it’s about removing the “fake sense of validation that we get from dating and situationships and sleeping around, and refocusing that energy”.
Boysober的意义在于说是不用从约会或者是这种什么situationships就是友人以上恋人未满或者sleeping around那些暧昧关系里面, 就是说不用从这些关系里面去获取所谓的这种validation被别人认可的感觉.
And refocusing that energy on yourself on other aspects of your life.
The reason why she used the word sober is perhaps just as people might want to stabilize after a period of riding the highs and lows of drunkenness and hangovers, there's someone going boysober might want to purge themselves of the bad aspects of dating.
之所以会用sober这个词, 可能说想要借酒精保持清醒的人, 是因为已经受够了这种drunkenness and hangovers, 宿醉或者喝醉的感觉.
People going boysober, they want to get rid of all these bad aspects of dating, for example, being at the mercy of someone's mood swings or experiencing any of these dating roller coasters.
Boysober也是因为有一些人, 特别是女生受够了这种情感关系里面的这些, 比如说忽冷忽热的各种PUA这种负面感受.

波西米亚丑闻-3
Through the smoke, I saw people moving quickly in the sitting room, and soon I heard Holmes’s voice saying it was a false alarm.
I moved through the noisy crowd and went to the end of the street, where I waited for Holmes. Ten minutes later, he showed up. We walked quickly and quietly for several blocks until we reached a quiet street off Edgware Road.
“You did very well,” Holmes said. “Everything went according to plan.”
“Do you have the photograph?” I asked.
“I know where it is,” Holmes replied.
“How did you find out?” I wondered.
“She showed me, just as I planned,” Holmes said with a smile.
“I still don’t understand,” I said.
Holmes laughed. “My plan was actually very simple. You saw how everyone in the street helped. Thanks to the king of Bohemia and his generous payment, they all got a little richer today.”
“I guessed that,” I said.
“When the fight started, I squeezed some red paint onto my hand. Then I rushed forward, fell down, and put my hand on my face to look like I was badly hurt. It’s an old trick,” Holmes explained.
“I figured that out, too,” I said.
“Then they carried me inside. I knew Mrs. Norton wouldn’t leave me hurt on the street. I was taken into the sitting room, which I suspected had the photograph. The king’s men must have tried to break into her bedroom, but Mrs. Norton is too smart for that.”
“They put me on the couch, I asked for some air, the maid opened the window, and you did your part.”
“How did that help?” I asked.
“It was very important. When people think their house is on fire, they instinctively try to protect what they value most. It might be a child or a valuable item. For Mrs. Norton, the most valuable thing was the photograph.
“The ‘fire’ was very convincing—all that smoke and noise made it seem real. Mrs. Norton acted just as I hoped. The photograph was hidden behind a sliding panel. She went straight to it, and I saw her pull it out through the smoke.”

The church was empty except for the three people I’d followed and a clergyman. They were all standing in front of the altar, and the clergyman seemed to be arguing with them. I walked slowly up the side aisle, pretending to be an ordinary churchgoer. To my surprise, the three people at the altar turned to look at me. Then Godfrey Norton came running over."
“‘Thank heavens!’ he exclaimed. ‘You’re just in time. Could you come with me for a moment?’
‘Why?’ I asked.
‘Just come along,’ he said impatiently. ‘We only need you for three minutes, or it won’t be official.’
I was pulled to the altar, and before I knew it, I was mumbling responses and swearing to things I didn’t understand, all while helping with the quick marriage of Irene Adler and Godfrey Norton.”
“You were a witness to their marriage?” I asked, laughing. “How unusual!”
“Indeed!” Holmes agreed. “The clergyman wouldn’t marry them without a witness. My lucky timing saved the bridegroom from having to find someone else on the street.
In just a few minutes, it was all done. I stood there in my dirty stableman’s clothes while the bride and groom thanked me. It was the oddest situation I’ve ever been in. That’s what made me laugh just now.”
Holmes pulled a gold coin from his pocket. “The bride gave me this as a thank you. I’ll wear it on my watch chain to remember today.”
“And what did you do next?” I asked.
“My biggest worry was that they might leave for their honeymoon right away, which would ruin my plans. But at the church door, they went separate ways—he went back to work, and she went home. She said, ‘I’ll drive out in the park at five as usual.’ So I came back here to get ready.”
“What are your plans?”
“Just some cold beef sandwiches and lemonade,” he said, calling Mrs. Hudson. “I’ve been too busy to eat, and I’ll be even busier tonight. By the way, I’ll need your help.”
“I’d be happy to.”

Hi everyone, and welcome to our fun segment called It Means What? Hello, 安澜.
Hi, Lulu, hi, everyone.
欢迎回来这个非常有意思的小版块词《源考古研究所》where we talk about interesting origin stories of words, phrases and idioms. So 安澜, what is the word or the phrase for today?
I don't know what are we gonna do. I ...I don't know, I really just don't know.
Stop panicking.
There we go.
So that was all an act because you do that so often...?
Partly, yes.
所以我们今天要讨论的就是panic这个词是吗?
Yes.
Panic是恐慌的意思. It's already a very, very short word. It's p-a-n-i-c, I didn't realize there is an origin story.
Yes, there is. It comes from Greek mythology.
希腊神话。Who are we talking about?
We're talking about the Greek God Pan.
Is he the one with like this weird...half animal.
Yes.
潘神可能有的小伙伴在什么游戏或者说电影里面看到过这个Greek God Pan. He's not like a major god, he's like a minor God.
He's a god of nature who lives in the woods.
So he's not a particularly important god. He's one of these spirits or gods that just live in forests and woods.
It's kind of like a demigod
他不是major god, 不是那种主神, 就是古希腊神话里面的主神, 但它是属于有点类似于spirit, and a god of nature and the wild.
Yes, so according to the myths, Pan's voice was so powerful that even scared the gods themselves.
So when people and gods and animals heard his voice, it cause them to panic.
Yeah, I've heard of another story saying that it was like a tale of war when Pan sort of helped his friend by letting out a shriek... a shrieking sound that sort of scared away his friend’s enemies. Yeah, so cause people to panic.
其实panic就是从潘神这里出来的一个名词, 就是说it's kind of like affected by Pan.
So for example, you can say something causes panic or someone is panicking.
Yeah, in that sense it can also be used as a verb, for example, 安澜 likes to panic.
Yes, that is true.

Hi, everyone. And welcome back to the fun segment called It Means What?
Hi, 安澜.
Hi, Lulu, hi, everyone.
欢迎大家回来【词源考古研究所】, so 安澜, which particular phrase or word or idiom that we're gonna talk about today?
You know the expression robbery?
就是抢劫.
Have you ever heard of “daylight robbery”?
抢劫不应该是夜黑风高吗？
Daylight robbery. I've heard you're robbing me in broad daylight, 光天化日下抢劫我.
I'm assuming it's not real robbery. It's more like what you're doing, it's almost like you're just blatantly robbing me blind.
Yes.
你做的事情就好像在光天化日之下抢劫我一样明目张胆.
Well, exactly. Daylight robbery means it's theft or it's something very unfair, that is really obvious.
For example, if you are ripped off, by like a seller, 如果你来买什么东西被宰了, 或者比如说打车, 然后被绕远路了, 你都可以说this is daylight robbery.
Or if you go into a restaurant and you see a dish that is really, really expensive and for
no reason, you would say that's daylight robbery.
I see the context, in Chinese we probably say something similar, it’s like这不是明抢吗?
Yeah, like daylight robbery. So is there an actual origin story because it sounds pretty obvious already you're robbing me in broad daylight.
Actually, there is a story linked to it and it comes from the 17th century.
In 1696, the English government introduced a tax on houses based on the number of windows they had. This was a type of property tax.
Ok, 所以这个房产税是按照你有多少个window, 你有多少个窗户. So they assumed the more windows, obviously the bigger the house was.
Exactly. So homeowners, especially those with large houses, often bricked up their windows to avoid paying the tax.
Brick up means they use brick to just block the windows. Yeah. I think I've seen this in London somewhere some of the old houses.
Yes, some of the houses from that era, they do actually have bricked up windows which they just never got round to unbroken.
But people need light though.
Well. They normally bricked up the servant’s quarters, not their own bedrooms or their own rooms. I see.
Now this tax was, you can imagine, was really, really unpopular because it was seen as unfair. People felt that it was saying they don't need daylight. They were effectively taxing sunlight.
所以就是日光税, 我好像还看到过这样的一个翻译.

The Reigate Squires
Sherlock Holmes was sick. The great detective had been working too hard lately. For two whole months, he had been busy with his latest case, working over fifteen hours a day, and it had made him very tired and weak.
As his doctor and closest friend, I told him he needed a break. It was April in the year 1887, and I thought a week of spring sunshine in the countryside would be good for him. My old friend Colonel Hayter had bought a house near Reigate in Surrey and had said we could visit anytime.
This was the perfect time to accept his offer. Holmes, luckily, didn't need much convincing, and on the morning of April 25, we left our Baker Street home for Waterloo Station. By the middle of the afternoon, we had arrived at the colonel's house.
After dinner, while Holmes rested on the sofa, the colonel showed me his collection of weapons from the Afghan War, where we had met.
"By the way," he said suddenly, "I think I'll take one of these pistols upstairs with me tonight in case of a break-in."
"A break-in?" I exclaimed.
"Yes! We had an incident not far from here last Monday. Burglars broke into the house of a local businessman named Acton. They didn't do much damage, but the burglars are still free, and one can't be too careful."
Holmes, who I thought was asleep, opened one eye. "Did they leave any clues?" he asked.
"Not that I know of," said Hayter. "It was a very minor burglary, not worth your attention, Mr. Holmes. The thieves ransacked the library. They made a mess, breaking open drawers and pulling things off shelves. All they took was a book, two candlesticks, a paperweight, a small clock, and a ball of string."
"What a strange mix of items!" I said.
"They probably grabbed the first things they saw," said Hayter.
"The local police should learn something from that list," Holmes said, sitting up straighter on the sofa. "To me, it seems clear that ..."
I held up my hand. "You're here to rest, my friend. I don't want you getting involved in another problem right now."
Holmes shrugged and sighed, and we changed the topic to something less serious.
But my attempts to make this a relaxing trip failed because peaceful Reigate suddenly became a crime scene. The next morning, we were eating breakfast when Hayter's butler ran in looking very worried. "Have you heard the news, sir?" he gasped. "At the Cunninghams'?"
"Another burglary?" asked the colonel, his coffee cup in mid-air.
"Murder, sir!"
The colonel whistled. "By Jove! Who was killed, the father or the son?"
"Neither, sir. It was William, their coachman. Shot through the heart, sir."
"Who shot him?"
"The burglar, sir. Then he ran away and got away. He had just broken through the side door when William arrived and confronted him. William died trying to protect his master's property."
"What time was this?" asked Hayter.
"Around midnight, sir."
"We'll visit this morning to offer our sympathies," said the colonel, sitting back down to his breakfast.

公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】或者添加【luluxjg2】咨询课程or加入社群，查看文稿和其他精彩内容哦~Hi, everyone. And welcome back to Geek Time. 欢迎回来【极客时间】. Hi, Brad.
Hey, lulu, how's it going?
Yeah. Yean. It's going all right. And can I propose a topic today?
All right, what do you think?
You know, we talked about cults before, right? 我们之前谈过邪教这个话题.
Mhm.
I would like for us to talk about one of probably the more notorious, I don't wanna say well-known, I just wanna say infamous modern day cults there is in the US, and it's favored by a lot of Hollywood stars.
Ah. You're talking about Scientology.
Yeah, okay. Before we get into this topic Scientology这个山达基教。I'm pretty sure some of you have read things about this.
Before we start, I just want to say it very categorically. First of all, this is tagged, this is categorized as a cult in China and in many other countries. And we're not here to spread any messages, it’s really more, think of it as a warning, and think of it as just giving you some information, so that you can watch out for.
Yeah, in America like Scientology isn't considered a cult by like the government. But many people see it as a cult like the general outlook of most Americans is that Scientology is a cult.
I see. So in the basic episode, let's do a little bit of background intro. Who started it? It's a modern thing. So it's not, the history isn't even that long, is it?
No, it's actually started by a man named L. Ron Hubbard, ‘which’ is a science or ‘who’, I should say ‘who’ is a science fiction writer.
Okay, all right. Let me guess, he wasn't very successful in writing science fiction stories, so he decided to start his own religion.
Well, he wasn't like that terrible at writing science fiction, his science fiction isn't the best, but he wanted to create religion as a way to kind of make money.
A lot of people look at Scientology as a scam to make money just because of the things that he has said in the past. However, there are a lot of people who say that the whole world is wrong about Scientology. And usually that's just because Scientology gets such a loud voice. And just as you mentioned, we'll talk a little bit about their Hollywood connections later. When you get Hollywood connections, you get a lot of star power. And so that's kind of help them spread the word. Even if so many people look so poorly on it.
I think this is really the danger of cults, especially when it has celebrity endorsement, because obviously they have a lot more impact than average folks, and then when they are there to sort of speak up like Tom Cruise did, well, I'm not saying everyone would tend to believe it more, but there will be some people getting tricked into believing it. But I think you said that Scientology was basically believed to be, by a lot of people, as a scam to make money, but so do a lot of cults.
The cult leaders, they're not necessarily even believing in their message. A lot of them started that so that they can trick people into believing in something and so that they collect the money.

Hi, everyone. And welcome back to Britain Under the Microscope. 欢迎回来《闲话英伦》. Hi 安澜, what are we going to talk about today?
Hi, 璐璐.
What's going on?
So hot! I can't take this heat anymore.
I think the heat in Wuhan is getting to 安澜. But tell you what, how about I get you a cold drink and we talk about British summer drinks?
That sounds like a very good idea.
Ok, 所以今天我们就来聊聊这些英国人常喝的summer drinks, 就是听起来就很夏天的这种. 我们说饮料其实 they're all alcoholic.
Well, yeah. This is not an episode for kids. This is an episode for the parents or the big kids.
Yep. First of all, if you ask me about the quintessential British drinks, I would say G&T.
Gin and Tonic.
Gin and Tonic金汤力. Whichever bar or even just cafe converted into a bar place you go to, you definitely, definitely, definitely will see this classic drink. In London, they just call it G&T, right?
Exactly. Because it's a classic cocktail, because it's so easy to make.
You say it's a cocktail, it's just a mixed drink, really, it doesn't take any skill.
It doesn't use any skill. All you have to do is get some gin, tonic water and lime or lemon. That's it.
But because I know, although we're called 酒馆, I'm pretty sure some of our fans, some of our listeners, they are not drinkers, they don't really drink alcohol. So, let's explain what this is. Gin is translated into金酒,琴酒,或者什么杜松子酒,更早的翻译 that gin is a very, very British thing, isn't it?
Not really. Gin was actually created in Holland.
I did not know that. I thought gin, because you see London Dry Gin or like the original Gin, you think gin must be a London thing.
No, it was first invented in 17th century in the Netherlands, but it became very popular in the 18th century and it was so cheap that what it’s known as the Gin Craze made many British people completely alcoholic.
Yeah, blame the drink.
Because you could buy pints of Gin. And people, particularly poorer people, poorer women would actually drink lots and lots of gin.
Even nowadays the basic Gin really is not very expensive. I mean, you can check it online like for example, London Dry Gin, they are very basic brand. It's relatively affordable.
And that's after taxes. So you can imagine how cheap it was to create and how much gin you could get.
Now for those of you who are non drinkers, you probably read the word Gin in some of the British literature. I wouldn’t say where, just English literature. Then I would not recommend you to drink it but at least smell it. It has a very distinctive smell. I actually really love the gin smell.
Yeah, I really like Gin&Tonic, but it always had a bit of a reputation. So we talked about Bathtub Gin.
("Bathtub gin" 是一种在禁酒令时期（1920-1933年）在美国出现的高度酒精饮料，其名称来源于家庭酿酒者将大容量的酒精容器存放在浴缸中，以便添加水和其他成分来稀释和调味 。这种自行制作的酒精饮料通常使用廉价的谷物酒精，通过添加杜松子等植物来赋予其味道，但质量参差不齐，有时可能存在安全隐患 。
而 "toilet wine" 或 "prison hooch" 通常是指在监狱中非法制作的酒精饮料，由于缺乏适当的设备和原料，囚犯们会使用任何可用的甜味水果、面包或糖，以及酵母或面包来发酵制作酒精。这种饮料可能隐藏在厕所的水箱中进行发酵，因此得名 "toilet wine" 。然而，这种自制酒精饮料可能存在健康风险，包括肉毒杆菌中毒 。)

Phelps was happy to see us. He looked stronger today and managed to get up from his sofa and shake our hands.
“Any news?” he asked.
“Nothing yet,” said Holmes. “I’ve spoken to Forbes and your uncle and made some inquiries, which may yet bring results.”
“I hope so,” said Phelps. “You know, something strange happened last night. I had quite an adventure.” He tried to sound cheerful, but I saw fear in his eyes. “Sometimes I feel like I’m the target of a conspiracy. First the treaty, and now this. Yet I don’t have an enemy in the world.”
“Please tell us what happened,” I urged him.
Phelps sat back down on the sofa and began to tell us his story.
"Last night," Phelps began, "was my first night without a nurse in the room because I felt well enough not to need her. At around two in the morning, I woke up to a small noise. I lay there listening, thinking it was a mouse chewing on some wood. Then the noise got louder, and suddenly I heard a sharp metallic click from the window. I sat up, scared, because I realized the first noise was a blade being forced between the window sashes, and the second was a catch being pressed back.
"There was a pause for about ten minutes, as if the person was waiting to see if I had woken up. Then I heard the window slowly creak open. The tension was too much, and I jumped out of bed and flung open the shutters. A man was crouching there. I only saw him for a second because he disappeared quickly. Most of his face was covered by a cloak, but I saw something shiny in his hand, which looked like a knife.
"If I had been stronger, I would have chased after him. Instead, I could only ring the bell and shout for help. That quickly brought Joseph down, and he woke up the rest of the household. They found marks on the flower bed outside the window, but the weather has been dry, and they couldn't follow the intruder's trail across the grass. They did find some damage to the fence, where he might have broken in."
Phelps's story had an immediate effect on Sherlock Holmes. He jumped up from his chair and started pacing the room excitedly. "Are you strong enough to walk around the grounds with me?" he asked Phelps.
"Oh yes, I could use some fresh air."
"And I could too," said Annie.
"I'm afraid not, Miss Harrison," said Holmes. "You must stay right here."
Annie looked disappointed but sat back down. Her brother joined us, and the four of us went outside to walk around the garden.
"I wonder," Holmes pondered, "why the burglar picked your room, Mr. Phelps, for the break-in. The bigger windows in the drawing room and dining room would be easier to open, less likely to be occupied, and there's more to steal in those rooms."

All right, moving away from cemetery. Where is our next stop?
Well, let's go to a hotel.
I've heard many hotel haunting stories in the UK.
This one is a luxury five star hotel called the Langham hotel .
朗廷是吧? Langham, isn't that the one in London next to the BBC building?
That's the one.
I walked past that a few times.
It's actually got a few ghosts in it, including one being a German prince who jumped to his death from a window on the 4th floor.
So this hotel must have been there for a very long time then.
It's been there since the 19th century.
Oh, that's why, so a German prince actually stayed there. YES. and allegedly jumped to his death.
And guests staying on the 4th floor have said they've seen a ghostly figure in a military uniform, military attire who is believed to be the Prince.
安澜, let me ask you, if you booked a hotel especially like a luxury hotel, before you go on your trip, you heard it from somewhere that this hotel is haunted. Would that make you want to stay in the hotel more or would you change your booking immediately?
I probably would change my booking. The thing is I don't really like hotels anyway. It's very rare that I can have a good night sleep in a hotel. So the idea of actually being in a hotel that is haunted probably would make it even worse.
It's such a whoops, maybe a ghost will come in and sing you a lullaby.
I very much doubt it, but the Langham does also have another ghost that of a doctor who murdered his wife and then killed himself while they were on their honeymoon.
I think I’ve heard of this story, I must have heard it somewhere. So this is the wife killer, so ladies watch out.
And ghost of the doctor can often be seen in the room and guest reported feeling sudden drops in temperature and was called an oppressive presence.
很有压迫感的那种.
So I do believe in supernatural things. And I'm not sure if I believe in this sudden temperature drop, but I think that although people don't see them, but they can feel the sort of presence or some people they can feel the presence or they can feel the change in the energy field so to speak.
Yeah, I'm not sure whether or not that's because they expect it or not.
Could be, could also be that you are very self-suggestive.
It could be .
When you heard the ghost story and you stay in that room that's supposed to be haunted and then you would experience various things.
Yes, but now I want to finish off by telling you what has to be the most famous ghost story in the UK, it's so famous, it's been made into documentaries, films even, and it's called the Enfield Poltergeist.
Poltergeist, I don't know if our listeners understand that word, that word was originally a German word, we translated into like淘气鬼, 什么吵闹鬼. Poltergeist is not an actual ghost or a spirit, but people I mean English speaking countries or even just general European countries, they do believe in that or they do talk about it.
It's just like they pull your furniture around, they throw things and they make lots of noise. They make a chaos in your home or like a house.
You don't often see them, but you hear them and you see objects moving.
So this particular case is from 1977, it's the Hodgson family, who lived in a council house in Enfield, which is in North London.
It's in London again.
Yeah, Enfield is just a quiet part of North London. It's just one of these little towns that people who work in London they live in. Mhm. And they started reporting very strange occurrences and these quickly became terrifying.
Like furniture moving on its own, knocking sound, objects being thrown like that. I know that's you, 安澜,
I know. But the interesting thing was that the focus of the activity seemed to be on the daughters, Janet and Margaret and they were kind of young girls kind of approaching teenage years.
And Janet was the center of all of the disturbances.
Maybe the Poltergeist just wants to or wanted to play with the girls.
