今日は、日本昔ばなしの中でも特に有名な「傘地蔵」というお話を紹介したいと思います。

⚪︎笠地蔵とは？

笠＋地蔵

・笠（Hat）
雨・雪・日光などを防ぐため、かぶったり、さしたりするもの。
このお話に登場する「笠」は、昔ながらの「笠」です。三角形の形をした帽子です。もう一つの「傘」（英語のumbrella）とは形が違うことに注意してください。

・地蔵＝お地蔵様 （Jizo-）
仏教の神様の石像です。 お地蔵様を正しくは「地蔵菩薩（じぞうぼさつ）」といいます。お地蔵様は仏教という宗教の神様の一つです。日本では、お地蔵様は神社や、道路のわきに置いてあることが多いです。道路のわきにあるお地蔵様は、その土地、その場所を悪いものから守る土地の神さまとして、信仰を集めています。

...という訳で「傘をかぶった神様の石像」についてのお話です。

それでは、物語をゆっくり話していきます。短い物語なので、ぜひ 最後まで聞いてみてくださいね。物語を話した後にいくつかの単語について解説していきます。

La mia città è una città speciale, unica al mondo, ma anche molto simile a tutte le altre. Si trova nel nord-est della penisola italiana, sul Mare Adriatico. Si chiama Venezia. Ci sei mai stato/a?
Venezia è una città molto, molto antica. Ancora oggi possiamo camminare tra i palazzi d’epoca, visitare le chiese medievali, andare a vedere le opere d’arte nei musei. Per questo motivo ci sono sempre tanti turisti, d’estate e d’inverno, in primavera e in autunno.
In tutte le altre città del mondo ci sono strade asfaltate e macchine, autobus e tram. A Venezia, invece, ci sono i canali: i canali sono dei corsi d’acqua salata. Invece delle macchine, ci sono le barche.
Nelle città normali le persone camminano sui marciapiedi; a Venezia camminiamo sui ponti.
Per andare al lavoro o a scuola andiamo alla fermata ad aspettare il vaporetto. I vaporetti sono autobus sull’acqua.
Nonostante tutto questo, Venezia è una città come le altre: c’è un ospedale, ci sono le università e le scuole. Ci sono i supermercati, i mercati e i negozi di alimentari. Ci sono due cinema dove possiamo guardare i film con gli amici e tanti ristoranti dove mangiare cibo delizioso.
C’è anche un famoso festival del cinema e un celebre festival d’arte e architettura.
Viviamo in belle case antiche e trascorriamo le giornate come le persone di tutte le città del mondo: lavoriamo o studiamo, andiamo in palestra o a fare yoga, passeggiamo o andiamo al bar con gli amici.
Ci sono solo due parchi pubblici, purtroppo un po’ piccoli, perché a Venezia non c’è spazio per costruirne di più grandi. Ma non importa, perché alcune delle altre isole della laguna sono immerse nel verde.

La mia città

        大家好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，今天的台词出自电影《后来的我们》。如果你在大城市上大学，毕业了以后，你会离开那儿吗？我们来听听电影中林见清是怎么说的：

        “毕了业，谁愿意离开北京？每次路过天安门的时候我就在想，所有最好最神奇的事情都会在这里发生。
        我明白北京不是我的家，我宁可拥抱现实中的无家可归，也不想放弃搏一把的机会。都说这儿的生活艰难，但我不怕，至少我在北京混过。
       北京的一天真的很短，短到还没有开始就结束了，所以每天早上一睁眼，我就觉得我离梦想又进了一步。”
——林见清  电影《后来的我们》/<Us and Them>

毕业bìyè  graduate; graduation
神奇shénqí magical, amazing
宁可……也不……nìng kě……yě bù…… would rather... than...
拥抱yǒng bào  to embrace
无家可归wú jiā kě guī homeless
搏一把bó yī bǎ  fight, bet
艰难jiān nán difficult; hard
至少zhì shǎo  at least
睁眼zhēng yǎn open one 's eyes
离lí  part from; be away from
进步jìnbù improve ; step forward

When we talk about Lionel Messi, it's easy to talk about numbers. He has been named the best men's player in the world eight times. He has won one World Cup, four European Champions League trophies and an Olympic gold medal.

He has scored more than 800 goals for his clubs and his country.

But these numbers only tell some of the story. It's also his balance, the way he moves his feet, slides the ball through another player's legs and finds space on the field.

Soccer is often called "the beautiful game," and for many people, no one has ever played it quite as beautifully as Messi.

His story began in Rosario, Argentina, where he was born in 1987. There, when he was a child, he played for a club called Newell's Old Boys.

Clubs around the world soon heard about the young star in South America, and aged 13 he moved with his family to Spain, where he joined FC Barcelona's junior team.

By the age of 16, he was already playing for the club's adult team. Goals, then trophies, came quickly, and he never looked back.

He was soon a global star, and one of the world's highest paid sportspeople.

Messi left Barcelona in 2021, having scored more goals for the club than anyone else. He joined Paris Saint-Germain, and then, two years later, Inter Miami in the US.

In 2022, he was Argentina's captain and the star player in his country's World Cup win. Messi, at just 170 centimeters tall, had become a giant of the sport.
