Easy Steps to Chinese Grammar

En el podcast de Hot Yoga Parte 1 habíamos hablado sobre la flexibilidad y la capacidad pulmonar.

Y en esta ocasión te voy a presentar el Beneficio Nº3, que es la mejora de la densidad ósea. Como todos sabemos, la densidad ósea disminuye con la edad. Por ejemplo, con la menopausia se reduce hasta un 50%, y aproximadamente la mitad de este porcentaje se pierde en los primeros 10 años. 

Según un estudio realizado por la Scientific Research en mayo de 2014, en un período de 5 años, la densidad ósea de las personas con menopausia que practicaban yoga con calor aumentó en la pelvis, la zona lumbar y el cuello. El estudio llegó a la conclusión de que los entornos con temperaturas altas reducen los efectos de la osteoporosis en las mujeres mejorando la circulación, la respiración y la sudoración.

Y ahora mismo también te puedo contar sobre otro beneficio de esta disciplina, que es su capacidad de quemar calorías. Una investigación llevada a cabo por la Universidad de Colorado en EEUU demostró que las personas que practicaban hot yoga eran las que más calorías quemaban: las mujeres unas 330 calorías en una clase de 90 minutos y los hombres unas 460 (porque normalmente pesan más). En un estudio con la temperatura alta se suda mucho más, así que el cuerpo debe trabajar más para regular la temperatura y el corazón tiene que bombear más sangre. Esto significa que con el Hot Yoga se quema una mayor cantidad de calorías que en una clase de yoga tradicional sin calor.

Y éstas fueron dos nuevas ventajas que te presento sobre esta disciplina, para que puedas entrenar tu comprensión auditiva mediante el quizz asociado y luego chequear tus respuestas con la transcripción correspondiente.

      我刚刚有了微信，我会用了。我在微信里面也看到了很多莫言创作的，但不是我写的，非常好的作品。在北京有一次吃晚饭，有一个非常漂亮的优雅的一个女士就说“莫言老师，我要朗读一首你的诗歌献给你，《你若懂我该有多好》”她朗读得声情并茂，是吧。目光里边就是闪闪的含着泪光。我听了也很感动，是吧。后来他读完了，我就说如果是我写的该有多好。

translation: I only just downloaded Wechat, and I can use it now. I've seen a lot of nice works on Wechat credited to Moyan, but actually a lot of them weren't written by me. Once, I was at a dinner party in Beijing, during the dinner a very beautiful and elegant woman said to me ‘Moyan laoshi*,I will read one of your masterpieces for you—'It would be wonderful if you really understood me’ She reads with the full force of her emotions. I can see her eyes begin to well up with tears, and I was touched. When she finished reading, I said to her 'It would be wonderful if it was me that had written that'.

*here ‘laoshi’is not teacher,refers to respectful title for masters of their field*

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの16回目です。大阪は今週からだんだん暖かくなっています。来週の予報は、最高気温が10度を超えています。私の実家は東京ですが、大阪は東京に比べると天気がいいです。晴れている日が多いです。寒いと電気代が高くなるので、早く春になってほしいですね。

Hi, This is the podcast episode 16. It has been getting warmer and warmer in Osaka this week. The forecast for next week is for a high of over 10 degrees Celsius. I’m from Tokyo, and the weather in Osaka is much nicer than in Tokyo. It is sunny most days. I hope spring will come soon because the cold weather will make our electricity bill higher.

もうすぐ春なので、最近は引越しをする人が多いです。日本では、3月から4月は学校や会社が始まるシーズンで、学生や新社会人が一人暮らしを始めるからです。私も授業で、生徒さんとよく引越しの話をします。国によって引越しのシステムやプロセスが違うので面白いですね。

It's almost spring, so many people are moving out these days. In Japan, March-April is the season for schools and companies to start, and it's because students and those who just graduated school and became working adults start living alone. In my classes, I often talk about moving with my students. It's interesting because the system and process of moving differs from country to country.

日本で家を借りるときは、ほとんどの場合、不動産業者と契約をします。まず不動産業者のウェブサイトを見て、希望に合う部屋を探します。広さや、駅からの距離や、築年数が書かれています。「築年数」とは、建物の古さのことです。建てられてから１年経ったアパートは、「築１年」といいます。日本では新しいアパートのほうが人気があるので、新しいアパートのほうが値段が高いです。建てられて１年未満で、まだ誰も住んでいない家を「新築」といいます。

When you rent a house in Japan, you almost always sign a contract with a real estate agent. The first thing to do is to look at the real estate agent's website and find a room that fits your needs. You will find the size of the room, the distance from the station, and the age of the building. “Chikunensuu” (the age of the building) refers to how old the building is. An apartment built one year ago is said to be “Chiku 1nen” (1 year old building). In Japan, newer apartments are more popular, so newer apartments are more expensive. A house that has been built for less than a year and no one is living in it yet is called “Shinchiku” (newly built).
