大家好，我是Honglin老师。欢迎来到我的汉字频道。

这是我的第四次推送。今天要给大家分享的字是，“独“，孤独的独，独自的独。

“独”是一个，单个的意思。这个字呢，左边是犬字旁，指的是狗；右边是个虫子，也是一种小动物。那一只狗和一只虫子，为什么组成了“一个”“单个”的意思呢。

独其实是个会意字，也就是说，它把两个单独的汉字放在一起表示一个新的意义。狗有什么特点呢，它们会为了食物打斗，失败了，狗就逃走，赢了，这只狗就可以独自享受食物。那虫子呢？

在以前，或者在繁体字里，独不是这样写的。犬字旁的右边其实是个“蜀”字。这个“蜀”有时候也用来指四川省，中国西南部的省份。它是指的是一种喜欢独自呆在一种花里的虫子，长得有点像毛毛虫。 

狗喜欢吃独食，这个叫“蜀“的虫子又喜欢独自在花里。那把他们两个放在一起，就变成了独，表示“只有一个”。

那今天给大家分享一个含有“独”的词语，叫“独裁”，“独裁”。大家应该都听说过卓别林，Charlie Chaplin。他有一部非常伟大的电影，叫“The Great Dictator’，讲了一个想要统治全世界的人，翻译成中文，就是《大独裁者》。所以独裁的意思，就是指独自裁断，独揽政权，一个人统治一个国家。而这样的人，就叫，“独裁者”。

关于“独“字，你还能想到什么词语呢？

今日はふたつの「いがい」についてお話しします。
「この映画は意外に面白かった」
みなさんはこの「意外」の意味がわかりますか？
この「意外」は「想像していたことと違う」時に使います。つまり面白くないと思っていた映画が実は面白かったという意味です。

次の文はもう一つの「以外」を使った文です。
「私は仕事以外のことには興味がない」この文の意味はわかりますか？「私は仕事にだけ興味がある。他のことには興味がない。」ということです。
また、「私は日本語以外話せません」と言うと、「私は日本語だけ話せます。他の言語は話せません。」という意味です。

最後に、最近起こった意外だったエピソードをお話します。どちらの意味か考えて聞いてください。

私は先日ギリシャに旅行に行きました。ドイツの田舎にある小さな空港からのフライトだったので、小さな飛行機を使うのかなと思っていたら、意外に大きな飛行機だったのでびっくりしました。

このふたつの「いがい」はどちらもよく使うので正確に使えるようになるまで練習しましょう！

意外：surprisingly
以外：except for, apart from~
想像する：そうぞうする　imagine
つまり：to sum up
興味がある：きょうみがある　I’m interested in
ギリシャ：greece

English on the Road 

Talking about Computers


You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.
