Quest’anno sembra che tutti aspettiamo il Natale in anticipo.
I negozi sono già pieni di prodotti natalizi, dolci tipici come il Panettone e il Pandoro. E le vetrine sono luminose e addobbate.

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.
