Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

10月31日はハロウィンですね。

日本語では、カタカナで
ハロウィンや、ハロウィーンといいます。

日本では、わかい人や子どもはハロウィンを楽しむことが多いです。

たとえば、USJ、ユニバーサルスタジオジャパンでは、
ハロウィンのイベントがあります。

1年で、いちばん人気のあるイベントだと思います。

東京(とうきょう)ディズニーランドもおなじですね。

ディズニーランドでも、1年でいちばん人が多いと思います。

私も昔(むかし)はハロウィンのイベントに行っていました。

でもいまは、とにかく人が多いので、
行かなくなりました。

日本の渋谷(しぶや)では、仮装(かそう)した人があつまります。

"仮装する"とは、ほかの何かに、かわることです。

お寿司(すし)になったり、
ワンピースのルフィになったり・・

"仮装する"といいます。

「今年のハロウィンは何に仮装するの？」

「じつは、キャプテンアメリカの仮装がしたいんだよね。」

といいます。

ほかにも、

「わぁ、かわいい、ねこの仮装！」

「え、ねこじゃなくて、ピカチュウに仮装したつもりなんやけど・・」

といいます。

今日はカタカナがたくさんありましたね。

ぜひ、くりかえし聞いて、声に出してください。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。

35. 日本のハロウィン・仮装(かそう)する/Halloween in Japan

This story is made from '2000 most common words in English'

The owner spoke, as if he was a host on a TV cooking show. 

“Both these dishes are mighty fine, and soon it will be revealed which will take the title of World’s Best Main Meal.” 

The owner prepared his chopsticks and reached to pick up Little Ball. But then, a mysterious noise sounded, a kind of ring-ring. 

“Ugh, what is it now?” groaned the owner as he returned to the living room. 

Little Ball turned to the serving of shredded, dried kelp. “Did you hear that? World’s Best! That’s us. You’ve got no chance at winning the title.” 

Dried Kelp, who hadn’t made a sound or a movement until now, slowly came to life and said, 
“Whatever, dude, titles are for books…” 

Little Ball whispered to its 5-piece family, “Pfffft, did you hear that? I know Dried Kelp secretly wants the title and we can’t let it win. If it does, then the owner will look down on us, and shame us, and never buy us ever again. We will bring shame to all the unborn octopus balls. No. I won’t allow it. Dried Kelp is the side dish and we’re the main dish.” 

Raising its voice to an intimidating roar, Little Ball, with all of its power, said, “We’re six large balls, but you’re only a few dozen little strips. Good luck beating us!” 

Dried Kelp took a moment to think. “It’s not the amount of pieces that’s important; It’s the owner’s experience that truly matters.” 

Little Ball was confused. Did Dried Kelp just prove my point? We’re less in numbers, but far superior, thought the bite-sized mashed octopus ball. “Exactly, pieces don’t matter—it’s about flavor! And you’re bland!” 

Dried Kelp seemed insulted, or so Little Ball thought.

Platiqué con Nikolett de comida húngara, me contó algo de la comida que le gusta y cómo se prepara, y también de un buen pisto húngaro.

Rob: Hi Selma, how are you?

Selma: Oh hi Rob! I’m doing well, thanks. Just finished that essay that’s due in tomorrow. It was a tough topic!

Rob: Tell me about it. It took me ages. So, listen, I wanted to ask you about Netflix. You subscribe to it, don’t you?

Selma: I do, yes.

Rob: I’m thinking about signing up, but I wanted to get your view on it. Is it worth the money?

Selma: I really think it is, although I don’t know that everyone would agree with me. I’m a huge fan of crime series, so there’s nothing I love more than binge-watching a whole series in a day in my pijamas.

Rob: I keep reading about some really interesting films coming up on there – there was that Martin Scorsese film recently?

Selma: Oh yes, The Irishman. I haven’t seen it yet, but Jane loved it and said it was some of his best work. So, it’s on my list. But absolutely everything is covered. There’s Horror, Thrillers, Comedy, Cartoons, you name it. I’ve seen some really thought-provoking documentaries on there recently. There’s Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich which takes a really good look at the system we live in and its problems and then makes suggestions for how to fix it. I watched What The Health which looks at the links between the food industry and healthcare. I’ve had a lot of discussions with other students about that one.

Rob: Is there much music stuff on there?

Selma: Loads! Film from concerts, documentaries about Bowie, Oasis, Bob Dylan… you like Hip Hop, don’t you? There is a great series called Hip Hop Evolutionthat goes into how it all started. It’s fascinating. What I really like about Netflix though is because there’s such a huge audience, there’s a lot of representation of different groups in society. There are loads of foreign films, there’s LGBTQ themes, Black and Asian directors. Something for everyone. Did you hear about Squid Game?

Rob: Oh yeah, the Korean series?

Selma: Yes, it was brilliant and completely unlike anything you’d see over here.
