#356 N3 漢字　"化"、について！

はい、こんにちは。今回は、ポッドキャストのシーズン２の３回目です。今月の終わりから大学の授業が始まります。今日はレッスンがなかったので、下見に行きました。「下見」とは、行き方や場所の様子を調べるために実際に行くことです。

Hello. This is episode 3 of season 2 of my podcast. My university lessons start at the end of this month. I didn't have any lessons today, so I went for a Sitami. 'Shitami’ (Preview) means actually going to the location beforehand to find out how to get there and what the place looks like.

大学は京都にあるので、大阪から電車で１時間半ぐらいです。大学に行くまでに大阪駅と京都駅を通ります。大阪駅と京都駅はいつも人がいっぱいで、とても疲れます。今年の10月から日本に観光客が入れるようになったので、外国人もたくさんいました。京都にはヨーロッパ系の観光客が多いですが、最近は東南アジア系の観光客も増えている気がします。「〜系」は人種を表します。たとえば、国籍がブラジルで親が日本人の人を日系ブラジル人といいます。大学は駅からバスで10分ぐらいでした。山の近くにあってとても静かでした。

The university is located in Kyoto, which is about an hour and a half by train from Osaka. I pass through Osaka and Kyoto stations on my way to the university. Osaka and Kyoto stations are always full of people, and walking through them is always tiring. Since October this year, tourists have been allowed into Japan, so there were many foreigners. There are many European Kei tourists in Kyoto, but recently I feel that there are more and more South-East Asian Kei tourists. ‘-Kei (-descent)' denotes ethnicity. For example, people whose nationality is Brazilian and whose parents are Japanese are called Nikkei Brazilians. (The "ni" in nikkei is the first character of Japan). The university was about 10 minutes by bus from the station. It was very quiet near the mountains.

One of the questions that many of us have about exercise is "should it hurt?"

Some people agree with the old saying: "No pain, no gain," which means if it's not hurting, you're not improving.

But is that really true?

When it comes to weight training, some experts tell people that they should train "until failure" for best results.

This means they keep lifting or training until their body cannot physically do any more.

However, others say that this approach is not suitable for everyone.

"If somebody wants to increase muscle mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider," said Michael Zourdos, from Florida Atlantic University, who has done research into this subject.

He and his colleagues found that lifting weights "until failure" may build bigger muscles, but isn't needed to increase strength.

He said people who work out hard, but don't push themselves to exhaustion, will still likely improve their fitness.

For the average person just looking to increase their fitness levels, Zourdos said it's easier to get results.

He said that these people would benefit from a hard session that comes within five to 10 repetitions of failure, rather than training to complete exhaustion.

He also said "failure training" often makes people so sore that they miss their next session.

Overdoing it can sometimes be harmful — and people who are planning on doing strenuous exercise should see a doctor first.

James Fisher, a sport science expert in the UK, says that resting muscle groups is an important part of training.

But he agrees that if people want to build muscle, they need to push themselves.

"If you lift a weight you can easily lift 10 times or more, you never really work hard enough," he said.

Still, Fisher said that the best workout is "one that people will actually do," regardless of how hard they push themselves.
