こんにちは。漫画（マンガ）「パリピ孔明（英語タイトル＝Ya Boy Kongming!）」がアニメになり、日本だけでなく海外（かいがい＝日本以外の国）でも話題になっています。

この作品のタイトルを解説（かいせつ）しましょう。まず「パリピ」とは「パーティ・ピープル（party people）」を省略（しょうりゃく）した言葉で、「パーティーが大好きな人」を意味します。

パリピは日本の若い女性、「ギャル」が使う言葉＝「ギャル語」として2015年頃に流行、今では若い人を中心に広く使われる言葉になりました。

そして孔明とは諸葛亮孔明（Zhuge Liang）、2～3世紀（2～3 centuries）頃の三国時代（さんごくじだい）の中国（China）で活躍（かつやく）した軍師（ぐんし）、歴史上有名な英雄（えいゆう）です。

現代（げんだい）の日本の渋谷に生まれ変わった孔明が、駆け出し＝まだ実績（じっせき）の無い新人（しんじん）＝の若い女性シンガーソングライターを助けようと、「パリピ」な人たちの中で奮闘（ふんとう）する話が「パリピ孔明」です。

英語から生まれた「ギャル語」＝パリピと、中国の歴史上の偉人（いじん）＝孔明が一緒になったタイトイル「パリピ孔明」、面白いですね。

中国の偉人を日本がアニメや漫画にして、中国の人は怒っていないでしょうか？日本は昔から中国の様々（さまざま）な歴史の出来事や物語を楽しみ、それを元に日本で新たな芝居（しばい）や小説（しょうせつ）を創作（そうさく）してきました。

中国の人は自分たちの物語を、日本人が新たな作品にして楽しんできた歴史を知っており、それを面白いと感じる人が多数います。「パリピ孔明」も、中国の多くのアニメファンは好意的（こういてき）に受け取っています。

他の国や文化の物語を、別の国で映像化（えいぞうか）・商品化（しょうひんか）する行為（こうい）を、「文化の盗用（Cultural appropriation）」とする考え方もありますね。

しかし中国と日本の文化交流（こうりゅう）には長い歴史があり、互いに尊重（そんちょう）して楽しんできました。おかげで「パリピ孔明」のような作品が日本で生まれ、中国でも楽しまれています。

サブカルチャーを通して、国と国との歴史を知るのは楽しいですね。このような話題（わだい）でお話しませんか？では、さようなら。

Hatim Ali - The Real Lens

I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

I want to speak English - this is a wrong goal!

PHIL: What time is that soccer game on? I thought it started 
at noon.
JACK: We must have had the wrong time. Oh, well … soccer’s not my 
favorite sport anyway. I much prefer basketball.
PHIL: Oh, really? I thought your favorite sport was tennis! I’m a big
fan of basketball, too.
JACK: How about a game sometime?
PHIL: Sure thing! Why don’t we go shoot some hoops now since the 
soccer game isn’t on?
JACK: Excellent idea. Let’s go.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• What time is that soccer game on? means “When does the soccer game start?” 
“What time” plus something plus “on” is a common expression used to ask about the 
start time of a TV show or a movie.
• I much prefer basketball here means “I like basketball a lot more than soccer.” Notice 
how “much” is stressed to show that the speaker really likes basketball.
• Oh, really? Notice the rising intonation on “really.” This shows that the speaker is 
surprised. He thought that Jack liked tennis the best.
• I’m a big fan of basketball is a way of saying “I like basketball very much” (“to be a 
fan of” is a casual expression used to describe something you really like).
• How about a game here means “Let’s play a basketball game.”
• Sure thing! This is a casual expression used to mean “OK.”
• Shoot some hoops means to play an informal game of basketball. This is a casual 
expression used between friends

Can you guess which novel this film was adapted from? And how this novel is called in Vietnamese? Try to do my quiz later. Have fun!

Án mạng ở Venice có tựa gốc là A haunting in Venice. Đầu tiên, mình coi phim vì quá thích nhân vật thám tử Poirot trong truyện của nữ văn sĩ Agatha Christie. 

Thứ hai, phim trinh thám mà hồi hộp từ đầu tới cuối. Lâu lâu bị hù kiểu kinh dị hơn kinh dị.

Thứ ba, mình thấy có Dương Tử Quỳnh đóng nên đi coi thôi. 

Phim không theo mô típ phá án, suy luận thông thường mà là một chuỗi những hành động của những con người toan tính, kể cả một đứa bé.

Nhân vật nào cũng có nỗi niềm riêng. Người mình tưởng là bạn lại không thực sự thật lòng với mình. Kẻ mình tưởng xấu tính ai dè lại đàng hoàng đến lạ. 

Đứa trẻ trưởng thành trước tuổi mình lại tưởng ngây thơ. 

Ngay đến cả ngài Hercule Poirot, người được mệnh danh là cỗ máy suy luận, con người của lý trí mà cũng phải bắt đầu tin vào tâm linh.

Những cú twist, hay nói đúng hơn là thắt mở đúng chỗ từ từ vén màn bí mật cho người đọc. Phim không hoàn toàn giống truyện nhưng hay ở chọn lọc chi tiết đắt giá. 

Người mẹ tận tụy hóa ra lại không phải người hiền lành như vỏ bọc bên ngoài. Chú bé ngây thơ hóa ra lại là người thâm sâu tới khó dò. Người cha bất tài lại yêu con vô hạn. Bà đồng nhập hồn nhưng hóa ra chỉ là mánh khóe được che giấu tinh vi.

Mỗi sắc thái, mỗi nhân vật như gia vị trong hành trình đi tìm chân lý của thám tử Poirot. 

Tưởng là đã bắt được nhưng thì ra nhân quả tuần hoàn.
