はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの32回目です。今週は色々なニュースがありましたね。イギリスのボリス・ジョンソン首相が辞任したり、遊戯王の漫画家が事故で亡くなったりしました。今朝は、安倍元総理が狙撃されて亡くなったニュースを聞いて、大変驚きました。日本では銃が使われる事件は年間10件以下しか起こらないため、今回の事件は非常に珍しいです。日本は平和な国だと思われていますが、実際は若者の貧困が深刻になっています。犯罪は増えていくかもしれません。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 32. There's been a lot of news this week. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned, and a Yu-Gi-Oh cartoonist was killed in an accident. This morning, I was very surprised to hear the news that former Prime Minister Abe was killed by a sniper. This incident is very unusual in Japan, as there are less than 10 incidents a year in which guns are used. Japan is considered to be a peaceful country, but in reality, poverty among young people is becoming more serious. Crime may increase.

今日は、日本の夏の習慣を紹介したいと思います。皆さんの国では、夏に家族や親戚に会う習慣がありますか？日本では、８月の「お盆」と言う祝日に家族に会う人が多いです。カードやプレゼントを送ることもあります。これは「暑中見舞い」と言って、７月上旬から８月上旬ごろに送ります。「暑中」は暑い時期と言う意味で、「見舞い」は誰かを訪ねて、様子を見に行くことです。カードには「暑中お見舞い申し上げます」というフレーズが使われます。「申し上げる」は「言う」の謙譲語です。謙譲語とは、敬語の一つで、自分の行動に使います。プレゼントにはとくに決まりはありません。プレゼントを贈らない場合もあります。

Today I would like to introduce some Japanese summer customs. In your country, is there a custom of meeting family and relatives in the summer? In Japan, many people meet their families on a holiday in August called 'Obon'. Cards and gifts are sometimes sent. This is called 'Shochu Mimai' and is sent from early July to early August. ‘Shochu' means 'hot season' and 'Mimai (politer: Omimai)' means visiting someone to see how they are doing. The phrase "Shochu Omimai Moushiagemasu (I wish you all the best in the hot weather)" is used on the card. The phrase ’Moushiageru’ is the humble form of ‘Iu (to say)’. Humble expression is one of the honorifics and is used for one's own actions. There are no specific rules for gifts. In some cases, gifts may not be given.

Today we're talking about the word "success" and how to use it correctly. 

DAILY Business English VOCABULARY builder

This is the most successful podcast I've ever made!

Another part 2 topic for the Summer. I also have part 3 example answers on my website.


“Well, as I live in a very busy city, I sometimes really need to escape the noise, and crowds, as well as finding a place where I can just chill out and relax in peace.  My favourite place to go is a small cafe which is about 3 kilometres from my home, and only takes me about 10 minutes to get to on my motorbike. The cafe is located in the suburbs on an extremely beautiful lake, surrounded by many different kinds of trees, and is a world apart from the busy city centre.

 

I try to go there at least 3 or 4 times a week, and usually bring my laptop with me, as I find I can be very productive in this peaceful environment, and get lots of work done, in a short space of time. I love being able to sit at a quiet table outside on a perfect sunny day, with the many trees to shade me from the hot sun. I’m also able to sit right on the bank of the lake, with a view which is out of this world.

 

I guess the main reason I love to go to this place is because it’s just so quiet and peaceful, and I can get away from all the noise, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city centre, which sometimes drives me crazy. Another reason I like to go to this place is that I find the tranquil environment really, both inspires and motivates me in my work….. And I’m able to be much more productive than I would be if sitting in a noisy office or a busy city centre coffee shop. So…yea, this is a quiet place i love to go to.
