All about Christmas Songs (with transcript)

桜は、まだ五分咲きです。/花の話③
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。

今週(こんしゅう)は、花の話(はなし)をします。🌸

きのうは、桜(さくら)の開花(かいか)についてはなしましたね。

桜が咲(さ)いてからも、まいにちニュースで桜の話があります。

え、なんで？
もう桜は咲いてるのに？！

と思いますよね。

じつは、"いま、どのぐらい咲いているのか"についてのニュースがあります。

どのくらい‥10%くらい？

それとも、50%くらい？

このとき、桜につかう日本語があります。

それが、「〇〇咲き」(まるまるざき)

という、ことばです。

たとえば、30%くらいの桜は、

「三分咲き」(さんぶざき)

といいます。

30%は咲いていて、
のこりの70%はまだ咲いていないことです。

ほかにも、
「五分咲き」(ごぶざき)は半分(はんぶん)くらいの桜のこと。

「七分咲き」(ななぶざき)は

70%の桜が咲いていることです。

そして、すべての桜が咲いていることを

"満開"(まんかい)といいます。

すべての花が開(ひら)くことですね。

友達(ともだち)との会話(かいわ)では、

「あそこの桜を見に行く？」

「え、でもまだ五分咲きだよー。

来週(らいしゅう)にしない？」

といいます。

桜が満開なのは、すごくみじかいです。

だいたい、1週間(いっしゅうかん)くらいです。
雨がふると、もっとみじかくなります。

でも、桜が満開のときに、日本に来てほしいです😊

三分咲きや五分咲きの桜も、きれいですが‥

やっぱり満開のときは、ほんとうにきれいです。

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。

What Type Of Employee Are you? Are you a Changer or a Runner?

‘‘Run‘‘ stands for the routine, well-defined processes. 

‘‘Change‘‘ — for expanding to the unknown, innovative or experimental. 

Runners and Changers are different people. 

A common mistake in companies is to combine Running and Changing in the same person. 

For example, Runner managers are good administrators. They are good at building processes within the department and making sure that daily tasks get done.

Changer managers are visionaries and strategists who aren’t strong in the day-to-day operations. They implement new projects and ideas.

What Type Of Employee Are you? Are you a Changer or a Runner?

When we talk about "screen time," we're often thinking about the effect that time spent on devices has on young people.

But what about the effect that those screens have on our eyes?

Whether you're using Instagram or Microsoft Excel, experts say that spending a lot of time looking at a screen isn't good for you.

But if you have to use a computer for work, what can you do to stay healthy?

Many eye experts say you should follow the "20-20-20 rule." This means taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away — that's about 6 meters.

This gives your eyes a break and makes them change their focus from the screen that's near to you, to something that's farther away.

Make sure the screen is the right brightness, too. A screen that's too bright or too dark will make you strain your eyes. But your device can help you with this.

The idea is to reduce the amount of blue light that your eyes are getting, something that "night mode" on your device does. And some companies now sell blue light glasses that can help.

Sitting the right distance from the screen is also a good idea: at least 50 centimeters away is often given as a suggestion.

If you find you're moving close to the screen and straining your eyes to see, you could try making the fonts on your screen larger.

And don't forget to blink! Blinking stops your eyes from getting dry and it can also help to reduce eye strain.

This week we talk about the different aspects of Easter. Such as the religious significance, the different days of Easter, and how the Easter Bunny connects with it all.

今週、私たちはカナダと日本のイースターの違いについて、話しました。例えば、宗教的な意味合いやイースターに関係する日について、また、イースターのうさぎがどう関係しているのかなど、イースターについてとても興味深い話ができました。

 No One Knows the Origins of the Easter Bunny/だれも知らないイースターのうさぎの起源について

Estoy en Toledo. Quiero descubrir esta ciudad que esconde a otra. No solo la parte monumental y no solo el Toledo diurno. No, también quiero saber del Toledo nocturno, mágico y misterioso... que ha sido muy importante para esta hermosa ciudad.

Mucha gente viene aquí desde la capital con un tren rápido a pasar unas horas, visita lo recomendable y después regresa a Madrid con un “souvenir” medieval ya que con el tren de RENFE - Media Distancia se tardan solamente unos 35 minutos. Es decir, menos que un metro entre punta y punta de la capital. Eso hace que esta ciudad histórica se convierta en “comida rápida de los estómagos turísticos” y para mí, es un tremendo error. Tremendo.
