我知道有不少读者是因为觉得书中有太多生活中不常见的概念而放弃了本书,我真心觉得挺可惜的。希望我这期播客能让你找回一点继续读完它的热情,这是我追星的做法😄

播客的主要内容:

  1. 1. 书中和希腊神话以及中国神话相关的一些概念解读(不是所有的,但了解这些足够你读下去)
  2. 2. 对Prof. Grimes的N宗罪的讨伐 ➕ 我觉得英语教培行业中类似的罪的观察和想法(这部分有我毒舌的评论,一定不要错过)

5:10 discussion of segment 1: interpretation of the elements from Greek and Chinese mythologies in the book

  • The Lethe
  • Cerberus
  • Fields of Asphodel

11:25 interpretation of the elements from Chinese mythology
