 Ciao a tutti/e! Oggi il nostro podcast  esplora le affascinanti storie e leggende di uno dei dolci più amati del nostro paese. Parleremo di uno dei dolci natalizi più iconici: il panettone. Scopriremo insieme le sue origini medievali, le tradizioni e le leggende che lo circondano, e la sua evoluzione nel corso dei secoli.

Dalle prime testimonianze documentate nel 1470, passando per le ricette dei cuochi rinascimentali, fino alle innovazioni del XX secolo, il panettone ha una storia ricca di curiosità e cambiamenti. Vi racconteremo di come un semplice pane di frumento si sia trasformato in un dolce arricchito con burro, uova, zucchero e canditi, diventando un simbolo delle festività natalizie in Italia e nel mondo.

Non mancheranno le leggende che hanno contribuito al fascino del panettone, come quella del garzone di Ludovico il Moro e del falconiere innamorato. Concluderemo parlando del panettone moderno, dalla produzione artigianale a quella industriale, e di come continua a essere celebrato oggi.

Preparatevi a un viaggio gustoso e appassionante nella storia del panettone! Buon ascolto!

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの13回目です。まだ５月ですが、朝や昼の日差しが強くなってきました。手術の傷は塞がってきました。まだ運動はできません。午後にダンベルとスクワットをしてみたら、途中でお腹が痛くなってきたのでやめました。髪が伸びてきたのでそろそろ切りたいです。先週大学のクラスの申し込みを終わらせました。

Hello, this is episode 13 of season 2 of my podcast. It's only May, but the morning and afternoon sun is getting stronger. My surgical wounds have healed. I can't exercise yet. I tried to use some dumbbells and do some squats in the afternoon, but my stomach started hurting halfway through, so I had to stop. My hair is getting long and I want to get it cut soon. I finished registering for university classes last week.

今日は久しぶりに買い物に行きました。買い物といっても、オンラインで買おうと思っていた服を試着しに行っただけなので、実際に買い物をしたわけではありません。街には観光客や若い人がたくさんいて、平日なのにとても混んでいて驚きました。そういえば今日はゴールデンウィークでした。どこの店もセールやキャンペーンをしていました。買おうと思っていた服は写真のイメージと違ったので、他のにすることにしました。家に帰ってから、綿のパンツとTシャツをオンラインで買いました。

Today I went shopping for the first time in a while. I say shopping, but I just went to try on some clothes I was planning to buy online, so I didn't actually do any shopping. I was surprised to see so many tourists and young people in the city and it was very crowded even though it was a weekday. That reminds me, today was Golden Week. All the shops were having sales and promotions. The clothes I was going to buy were different from the image in the picture, so I decided to buy something else. When I got home I bought some cotton trousers and T-shirts online.

そういえば最近の授業で、日本語の「パンツ」のアクセントの違いについて話しました。日本語でパンツというと、ズボンと下着の二つの意味があります。私が今言っているのは、ズボンのほうのアクセントです。下着のアクセントは、パンツです。パンツ（上昇）とパンツ（下降）です。現代人が普段着ている服は西洋文化のものなので、日本語でもほとんどがカタカナです。それに合わせて、服の素材もカタカナで表現することが多いです。たとえば、「綿」や「麻」は、「コットン」や「リネン」と表記されていることがあります。どちらも同じ意味です。私は綿の服が好きです。

朋友们你们好！今天的零食是一个小故事，叫做 “在天上”。
在天上，我们经常能看到太阳，云朵。那在这个小故事里面，会不会也有呢？ 我们一起边吃边学吧！

作者：秦志宁

天，蓝蓝的；太阳，红红的。
风来了，云跑啊跑。
跑到太阳前面。太阳不见了。
云哭了，雨来了。
风走了，云走了，雨不见了。
蓝蓝的天开心了。红红的太阳笑了。

读完这个故事后，我心情很好。希望你们也跟我一样！
