TASK 64 - WILL AMAZON TAKE OVER THE WORLD?

みなさん、こんにちは！
日本語講師のAikoです。お元気ですか？私はとっても元気です！

私は今、日本にいます。私の故郷は長野県なので、長野の実家に滞在しています。
来年の１月にまたバリ島に戻る予定です。

今日は、今、Nintendo Switch でプレイしているゲーム「ゼルダの伝説 / The Legend of Zelda」の話をしたいと思います。
前回のポッドキャストで「ゼルダの伝説 ブレス・オブ・ザ・ワイルド」をプレイしていると話しました。

「ゼルダの伝説 ブレス・オブ・ザ・ワイルド」は、タイトルが長いので、日本語では「ブレワイ(Burewai)」と呼ばれています。

私は先週「ブレワイ」をクリアしました。そして、今週から「ゼルダの伝説」の一番新しいシリーズ「ティアーズ・オブ・ザ・キングダム」を始めました。「ティアーズ・オブ・ザ・キングダム」というタイトルも長いので、日本語では「ティアキン(Tiakin)」と呼ばれています。

続きはPodcastで！

①少女心，大概就是指每个女人还是少女的时候，看世界和看自己的心性：
简单、纯洁、孩子气、童话心、五颜六色的想象力以及对爱的美好憧憬。
如此，少女心实在是一种值得在心里永久保存的心境。
②很多时候，其实生活需要的，也就是一个一笑解千愁的微笑。
女人在任何时候都可以笑出来不是一件易事，需要一颗强大的内心。
而强大的内心，是女汉子最典型的特质。
想想看，你要不要做一个女汉子？
③穿合体的衣，说得体的话，内心千回百转的痛不掩你淡淡的微笑。
这很不容易，是烟火女英雄的最高境界。

你认为你是哪种女人呢，为什么？

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.
