A Short Story in Arabic 2

Mr. Fat wakes up from a deep and enjoyable sleep. He rolls out of bed, leaving behind him a mattress covered with money. He walks over to his bedroom mirror and wipes oil off his face. 

“You are looking very handsome today,” says Mr. Fat, speaking to himself. “You are doing such a great job at ruling Planet Meat. Everyone loves and respects you. This planet is so lucky to have you.” 

Looking at his delicious meat hamburger, Mr. Fat says “Oh my, I’m starving. I can’t wait for breakfast. I’m going to eat my own meaty, juicy body! Hah!” 

Mr. Fat lives in a giant house made of meat, vegetables and potato chips. He is the boss of the whole meat planet. He became the boss because he has the biggest, toughest belly. Whenever someone tried to punch Mr. Fat, meat flew out of his belly and attacked his opponent. 

The fat hamburger walks over to the window. He opens his lettuce curtains and he almost faints in shock.  

“OH MY GOD!” screams Mr. Fat. He can’t believe what he’s seeing. “It’s raining tomato sauce! Yuuuuk!!”

こんにちは。
今日は自動詞と他動詞の意味の区別について説明します。
Today I will discuss the distinction between the meanings of transitive and intransitive verbs.

ルール１
(自動詞は「を」がつかない）
　例：ドアが閉まる。
　例：パソコンがつく。 
（他動詞は「を」がつく）
　例：ドアを閉める。
　例：パソコンをつける。
他動詞は結果、自動詞は原因です。
➀ドアを閉める。（原因）　ドアが閉まる。（結果）
　「私がドアを閉める」
　→ドアが閉まる。
②パソコンをつける。（原因）パソコンがつく。（結果）
　「私がパソコンをつける」
　→パソコンがつく。

例外が２つあります。
「を」がつく自動詞があります。Intransitive verbs with 「を」(exception)

１．
例１）空港を出発する。
例２）家を出る。
※「を」の意味は起点です。起点はスターティングポイントです。（「を」representing a starting point）
２．
例１）公園を歩く。
例２）橋を渡る。
※「を」は経路を表します。経路はルートです。（「を」for a route)

ルール２
他動詞のペアがない自動詞➀ (Only intransitive verb)
例１：雨が降（ふ）った。
例２：花が咲（さ）いた。
例３：今夜は月が明るく輝（かがや）いている。
自然に起こることを表しています。（indicates a state occurs natural)

他動詞のペアがない自動詞② (Only intransitive verb)
例１：子どもたちはいすに座った。
（子どもが座る）
例２：飛行機が空を飛んでいる。
　　　（飛行機が飛ぶ）
人や物への働きかけがない動作を表しています。
（Refers to an action that does not have any impelling effected on other people or things）
例１：子どもたちはいすに座った。
（子どもが座る）
例２：飛行機が空を飛んでいる。
　　　（飛行機が飛ぶ）
（Refers to an action that does not have any impelling effected on other people or things)
ルール３　自動詞がない動詞（only transitive verb）
例１：先生が子どもをしかった。
（Teacher scolded the child.）
例２：私はリーさんに仕事を頼んだ。
（I asked Mr Lee to do the job.）
これらは、人や物への働きがある動作を表しています。
（refers to an action that has some impelling effect on other people or things)
例１：先生が子どもをしかった。
（Teacher scolded the child.）
例２：私はリーさんに仕事を頼んだ。
（I asked Mr Lee to do the job.）

【意味】自動詞と他動詞（meanings between transitive and intransitive)

When something — or someone — is annoying you at work, you may feel that you need to share your feelings with another person.

We often call this "venting" — letting out negative emotions by talking about what's bothering us. It actually comes from the French word vent, meaning "wind" — because you're letting those feelings out of your body and sending them off into the wind!

It might feel good for a moment. But is it really healthy?

There are advantages to venting, experts say. Keeping stress inside us can increase our risks of getting things like heart problems or high blood pressure.

And sharing our problems with others can also help make us feel connected and supported, which can boost our mental health, according to Rachel Millstein from Harvard Medical School.

However, there are some studies that have found that venting can make things worse.

In fact, Brad Bushman of Ohio State University says it's the "worst thing you can do," and he believes that venting may only make us angrier.

Whether it's right or wrong, experts agree that we have to be careful when we're venting at work.

We most often feel the need to vent when our emotions are at their highest. But Michael Wiederman, writing for the Psychology Today website, says it's better to take some time to calm down before sharing anything with anyone.

Saying too much, or sharing with the wrong person, could get you into trouble and bring you much more stress!

And don't forget to think about the emotions of the person you're venting to — your venting could make them feel stressed too!
