The flood of solidarity in the wake of a tragedy

Chinese story:
《漂亮的学校大门》
“我说不来，又叫我来，这个大门又旧又烂，我不想在这里念书！”一位女学生在大学门口大声地说。

在中国，学生很多，但是大学却不多，所以要考上一所大学不是一件容易的事。这位年轻的女学生非常努力地考上大学，难道只是希望学校有一个漂亮的大门？

大部分的学生都喜欢学校有一个漂亮的大门，当自己的爸爸、妈妈，或者朋友来参观的时候，他才会觉得有面子。

大部分中国的大学都希望有一个漂亮的大门，因为这是一个学校的形象。大学是这样，一般的中学、小学也是这样的。

有漂亮的校门是很好的事，但是如果学生只是因为学校没有漂亮的大门，就不想读大学，这就变成了一件奇怪的事。


English translation:
The beautiful school main gate

I said I don’t want to come. Why you asked me to come here? The main gate of this school is old yet rotten. I don’t want to study here.” A female student shouted in front of a university’s main entrance.
In China, students are too many. But universities are few. Getting an admission to a university is a tough work. This young female student must’ve studied very hard to gain approval for a place. Is it only for a beautiful school main gate?
Many students want their school to have a beautiful main gate. So that when their parents or friends come to visit them, they would feel proud of themselves.
In fact, most universities in mainland China definitely want to have a beautiful main gate which stands for the image of a school. Universities want that, and general high schools and elementary schools want that as well.
It is certainly a good thing to have a great-looking main gate. But if a student doesn’t want to go to a university simply depends on the outward appearance of main gate, this is really a weird thing.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン3の1回目です。新しい年になったので、新しいシーズンにしました。1月は12月より寒いです。正月の朝は散歩をして、神社に行きます。今年は寝坊してしまったので、昼過ぎに行きました。家の近くの神社は有名なので、すごく混んでいました。列が長すぎました。なので私は、違う日に神戸の神社に行きました。

Hello. This is episode 1 of Season 3 of my podcast. Since we’re in the New Year, I‘ve decided to start a new season. January is colder than December. On New Year's morning, I usually take a walk and visit a shrine. This year however, I overslept, so I went in the afternoon. The shrine near my house is famous, so it was very crowded. The queue was too long, so I went to a shrine in Kobe on a different day.

最近パソコンの調子が悪いです。今使っているパソコンは2017年に発売したMacBook Airです。このパソコンを使い始めて今年で7年になります。一般的に、MacBookは10年ぐらい使えると言われています。パソコンの動作に問題はありませんが、バッテリーの調子が悪いようです。パソコンから充電ケーブルを外すと、バッテリーの残量がすぐに0%になってしまいます。残量とは、残っている量のことです。電池やエネルギーに使います。さらに、2017年のMacBookのサポートは今年で終了するという噂があります。

Lately, my computer has been acting up. The MacBook Air I'm currently using was released in 2017, so I've been using it for seven years now. Generally, MacBooks are said to be usable for around 10 years. While there are no issues with the computer's performance, it seems that the battery is not in good condition. When I unplug the charging cable from the computer, the battery’s Zanryou quickly drops to 0%. Zanryou refers to the amount of something that remains and is used for power and energy. In addition to the problem with the battery, there are rumors that support for the 2017 MacBook will end this year.

そこで、今年はパソコンを買い換えようと考えています。先週近所のアップルストアに行きました。午後7時を過ぎてから行きましたが、店内はまだとても混んでいました。MacBook Airのコーナーには2種類のモデルがあったので、店員に違いについて質問しました。最近の家電はたくさんモデルがあって、選ぶのに時間がかかってしまいますね。去年の年末に大学の学費を払い、シカゴに旅行に行ったばかりので、いまは余計なお金を払いたくありませんが、長く使うことを考えると一番新しいモデルを買った方がいい気がします。どれを買おうかまだ迷っています。
