<p>Healthy Heart Vocabulary Text</p> <p>Hi, this is AJ, welcome to the vocabulary lesson for "Healthy Heart." Let's get started.</p> <p>Our first word is fibers, fibers. So in the story there was quote from Herman Melville,</p> <p>he said, “A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men." Fibers are really like</p> <p>strings, basically, it's just strings. It's just long strings. Usually we talk about fibers, for</p> <p>example, in clothing. So if you have, you know...your clothes are made of lots of little</p> <p>fibers that are woven together, that are put together. Each individual string is a fiber,</p> <p>so fiber.</p> <p>So he's saying we're connected by a thousand strings. So, obviously not really, but if</p> <p>you think about it kind of poetically it's a metaphor. So you can imagine that we're</p> <p>connected in a thousand different ways to other people. We cannot be separate.</p> <p>That's what the quote means.</p> <p>Alright and then next we have the phrase moved by. The sentence says "Perhaps this</p> <p>explains why we are often moved by people caring deeply for one another." Now you</p> <p>know the normal meaning of move, to move, but to be moved by something. I was</p> <p>moved by the movie, for example. It has a different meaning. When you say was</p> <p>moved by something, it means that you felt strong emotion, it made you feel</p> <p>emotional.</p> <p>Usually, kind of...kind of positive emotions, not negative emotions. So you could say,</p> <p>for example, you go to see Titanic, the movie Titanic, a romantic movie. And you say</p> <p>"Oh, I was moved by that story." All right, it means it made you feel very emotional.</p> <p>Maybe you cried and it was so, you know, powerful, it was a very emotional story. So</p> <p>you say "I was moved by the story. The story made me feel emotional," strong</p> <p>emotions.</p> <p>So in this quote it says "We are moved by people caring for one another." So when</p> <p>we see two people who care a lot for each other, they love each other a lot, we are</p> <p>mo
