男：最近晚间或者是24小时营业的健身场馆就格外地火爆，这种再晚也能撸铁的空间受到了很多城市年轻人的喜欢。
女：嗯，这种健身房它有全自助方式的无人健身房，也有半自助的。你比如说上午10点到晚上十点是正常营业的，剩余时段是会员自助。像全时段营业、智能化运营、付费方式灵活也成为了24小时健身场馆的卖点。
男：嗯，目前多家24小时健身馆客流人群还是以年轻人为主，当然也得提个醒，医生的建议是饱餐后太过疲惫不适合做运动。另外，保障规律的运动时间也很重要。如果想早上或者是晚上运动，那还是要在不影响睡眠和工作的前提下进行。另外，一个人在健身房练习的时候还要格外注意安全。
女：现如今大家的生活水平越来越高了，我们对于运动健身包括体重管理更重视了，追求健康科学规律的生活是一种生活方式，更是一种生活态度。
男：在这样的地方想运动可以运动，想社交呢也可以社交，想休闲呢也能够独处。一方面是方便，一方面也确实让人感受更自在。
女：其实不仅是健身场馆，这些年全天候不打烊的24小时空间都挺火的。像便利店，还有24小时的阅读空间等等。市场有需求，相关的场所也越来越多了，对相关行业是机遇，让咱们的生活更加便利。

EP 27. WHEN TO USE HACE, DESDE AND DESDE HACE

A social media ban for children under 16 has passed the Australian Senate and will soon become a world-first law.

The law will make social media platforms — TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram — liable for fines of up to $33 million for failures to prevent children younger than 16 from holding accounts.

The platforms will have one year to work out how they could implement the ban before penalties come into effect.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the ban is necessary, having previously argued that there is a "clear, causal link" between social media and the harm done to the mental health of young Australians.

Opposition Senator Maria Kovacic shared similar views.

"The core focus of this legislation is simple: It demands that social media companies take reasonable steps to identify and remove underage users from their platforms," she told the Senate.

"This is a responsibility these companies should have been fulfilling long ago, but for too long they have shirked these responsibilities in favor of profit," she added.

But while many support the ban, some argue the legislation could cause more harm than it prevents.

Senator David Shoebridge, from the Greens party, said mental health experts agreed that the ban could dangerously isolate many children who used social media to find support.

"This policy will hurt vulnerable young people the most, especially in regional communities and especially the LGBTQI community, by cutting them off," Shoebridge told the Senate.

Opponents also argue the ban would isolate children, deprive them of the positive aspects of social media, drive them to the dark web, discourage children too young for social media to report harm and reduce incentives for platforms to improve online safety.

While the law is the first of its kind worldwide, other countries have discussed similar measures.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日はサウナについて話そうと思います。
みなさんはサウナに行きますか？

ぼくは今までほとんど行ったことがなかったんです。
ですが、最近行ってとても良かったのでその話をしようと思います。



サウナはフィンランドが発祥とされるようです。
石を積み上げたストーブを高温に加熱して、そこに水をかけて蒸気を発生させます。

室内温度は60〜90℃ぐらいです。

サウナに数分入った後、外に出て水風呂に入ったり、外の空気にふれた後、またサウナに入る、ということを繰り返します。これによって、体の中はアドレナリンがたくさん出ている興奮状態と体の外は外気温に触れてリラックスするという特別な状態が生まれます。

これが、最近の日本では"ととのう"という状態だそうです。Wikipedia情報ですが、間違ってたらすみません。

サウナに行っている人はそのとても気持ちいい状態があることは知っていると思います。

日常では味わうことのない、脱力感というか、開放感というか、そんな不思議な感覚です。

個人的には乾燥肌でアトピー性皮膚炎もあるので、発汗、汗をかくことはとても大切なんですね。ですので、僕にとっては健康でいるための良い方法だと思います。

体も気持ちもリフレッシュできるサウナ、もし行ったことがない人はぜひ行ってみてください！めっちゃ気持ちいいですよ！

ということで、今回は以上です。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
