Captain Sesalt & The ABC Pirates

Trascrizione

L’etimologia del termine “Carnevale” deriva, con molta probabilità, dal latino “carnem levare” (eliminare la carne). Anticamente infatti l’espressione indicava il banchetto dell’ultimo giorno subito prima della Quaresima cristiana. 

The etymology of the term "Carnival" is most likely derived from the Latin word "carnem levare" (to eliminate the flesh). In fact, in ancient times the expression indicated the banquet on the last day immediately before Christian Lent. 

Coriandoli means “confetti”: sono piccoli pezzi di carta colorata che vengono lanciati durante le feste, come il Carnevale, per celebrare.

Maschera means mask: è un travestimento indossato per nascondere l'identità durante le feste e i balli in maschera.

Sfilata di carri means float parade: è una parata di carri decorati che sfilano per le strade durante il Carnevale, solitamente accompagnati da musica e ballerini.

Ballo in maschera means Masked Ball: è una festa in maschera dove le persone indossano costumi elaborati e ballano insieme nel periodo del Carnevale.

Frittelle Veneziane are typical sweets from Venice: sono dolci tipici del Carnevale di Venezia, fatti di pasta lievitata fritta e zucchero a velo.

Quaresima means Lent: è un periodo di 40 giorni prima di Pasqua, durante il quale i cristiani si preparano per la festa attraverso la preghiera e il digiuno.

Volo dell’angelo literally means Flight of the Angel: è un evento che si svolge durante il Carnevale di Venezia, solo a Venezia, dove una persona vestita da angelo vola dal palazzo Ducale in piazza San Marco, simboleggiando la discesa di un messaggero divino.

When we talk about Lionel Messi, it's easy to talk about numbers. He has been named the best men's player in the world eight times. He has won one World Cup, four European Champions League trophies and an Olympic gold medal.

He has scored more than 800 goals for his clubs and his country.

But these numbers only tell some of the story. It's also his balance, the way he moves his feet, slides the ball through another player's legs and finds space on the field.

Soccer is often called "the beautiful game," and for many people, no one has ever played it quite as beautifully as Messi.

His story began in Rosario, Argentina, where he was born in 1987. There, when he was a child, he played for a club called Newell's Old Boys.

Clubs around the world soon heard about the young star in South America, and aged 13 he moved with his family to Spain, where he joined FC Barcelona's junior team.

By the age of 16, he was already playing for the club's adult team. Goals, then trophies, came quickly, and he never looked back.

He was soon a global star, and one of the world's highest paid sportspeople.

Messi left Barcelona in 2021, having scored more goals for the club than anyone else. He joined Paris Saint-Germain, and then, two years later, Inter Miami in the US.

In 2022, he was Argentina's captain and the star player in his country's World Cup win. Messi, at just 170 centimeters tall, had become a giant of the sport.

2. ЧАСТЬ 2: Секрет изучения языков

2年間コロナで止まっていた日本への入国がようやく再開されました。日本語学校で留学生たちは日本語の勉強を頑張っています。そんなある日の授業風景をお話しします。
Entry to Japan has finally been resumed after two years. Foreign students are doing their best to study Japanese at a Japanese language school. I will tell you about the scene of a class on a day.

「入国再開！ようこそ日本へ！」
今日は、留学生たちが日本にぞくぞくと到着していることをお話します。
この2年間　留学生たちは　日本に入国することができませんでした。理由は、もちろん、コロナです。でも、それが今年、2022年の4月末ごろから、突然、入国できるようになりました。今、ぞくぞくと　留学生たちが日本に到着しています。私がつとめている日本語学校も学生たちでにぎやかになりました。
　私も久しぶりに日本語学校で授業をすることになりました。私の担当は、初級クラスです。学生が1クラスに20人います。　かんたんなことばで　ゆっくり話せば、日本語でコミュニケーションができるレベルです。
　先日、授業で「のに」という文法が出てきました。　「のに」は、「熱があるのに、学校に行く」「日曜日なのに、仕事をします」のように使います。　この「のに」の意味や接続、どんなときに使うかなどを、クラスみんなで確認しました。そのあと、私は学生たちに「のに」をつかって、文を書いてもらいました。
　ひとりの学生がにこにこ笑っているので、私は「書けたのかな」と思い、彼のところに行きました。そして、彼が書いた文を読みました。
「日本語はとてもむずかしくて大変なのに、ぼくはどうして日本語を勉強しているんだろう。」と書かれていました。私は彼の顔を見て、いっしょに笑ってしまいました。
「ほんどだね。日本語、難しいよね。」と私が言うと、周りの学生たちも「うんうん」と大きくうなずいていました。　彼らは、そう言いながらも、なんだかとても楽しそうでした。きっと、「日本語は難しいけれど、おもしろい」と思ってくれているのだと思います。
私は日本人ですから、日本語で　話す、聞く、読む、書くことは　簡単にできます。でも、実は、日本語を教えることは「むずかしい」と思っています。なぜなら、私たち日本人が国語として勉強してきた日本語と　外国語として教える日本語はちょっと違うからです。　たぶん、自分たちのことばを　その構造やどんな文法でどんな接続かなどを考えながら話す人はいないと思います。
ですから、教えるために日本語を　勉強しなおさなければなりませんでした。それはとてもむずかしかったです。私も思いました。「日本語を教えるのはこんなにむずかしいのに、なんで　私は日本語の先生になろうと思ったのだろう」と。
でも、今　日本語の先生をしていて、とても楽しいです。大変だけど楽しいです。世界中のいろいろな国の人たちと　日本語でコミュニケーションを取ることができるからです。
みなさん、日本語を勉強してくれてありがとう！
私も　みなさんの日本語学習をしっかり　サポートしていきますね。
