(Verb ている形）+ところ

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘은 한국의 독특한 전통 음식, 미역국에 대해 이야기해 볼게요. 혹시 한국 사람들이 생일날 꼭 미역국을 먹는 이유를 들어본 적 있나요? 이 음식은 단순한 국이 아니라, 깊은 문화적 의미와 역사를 담고 있답니다.

먼저, 미역국의 기원을 살펴볼게요. 옛날, 삼국시대 때 고구려 사람들이 고래가 출산 후 미역을 먹는 모습을 관찰했다고 해요. 고래들이 미역을 통해 건강을 회복하는 것을 보고, 사람들도 출산 후에 미역을 먹기 시작했죠. 미역은 철분과 칼슘이 풍부해서 산모의 회복을 돕는 음식으로 자리 잡았습니다.

그런데 이 전통이 발전하면서 생일 문화와도 연결되었어요. 생일날 미역국을 먹는 건 자신을 낳아주신 어머니를 기리고, 그분의 희생에 감사하는 의미예요. 그래서 한국 사람들에게 생일날 미역국은 꼭 먹어야 하는 상징적인 음식이 되었죠.

재미있는 점은, 미역국과 관련된 속어도 있다는 거예요. 한국에서는 "미역국을 먹다"라는 표현이 실패를 뜻하기도 해요. 미역이 미끄러운 식감을 가지고 있기 때문에, 기회가 미끄러지듯 사라졌다는 의미에서 나온 표현이죠. 그리고 아주 독특한 욕도 있는데요, 바로 “너네 엄마가 널 낳고 먹은 미역국이 아깝다”라는 말이에요. 이건 "엄마의 고생이 헛되었다"는 뜻인데, 절대 사용하지 않는 게 좋겠죠? 😅

여러분의 나라에도 생일이나 출산 후 먹는 특별한 음식이 있나요? 아니면 실패를 표현하는 독특한 말이 있다면 공유해 주세요!

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。

私はいま、マレーシアにいます。

海外旅行(かいがいりょこう)をするとき、
なやむこと・・それはお金(かね)ですね。

日本では円(えん)ですが、
マレーシアでは、リンギットです。

日本にいるときは、ほとんど現金(げんきん)をつかいませんでした。

現金とは、お札(さつ)やコイン、
お金そのもののことです。

たとえば、

「このおみせは、現金だけしかつかえません。」

「現金のほかに、クレジットカードやQRコードもつかえますよ。」

「カードはつかえますか？」
「すみません、現金だけです。」

というかんじでつかいます。

日本では、昔(むかし)ながらのお店(みせ)やスーパーでは、
現金だけのところがあります。

みなさんの国では、どうですか？
現金だけ、のところはおおいですか？

きのう、マレーシアで電車(でんしゃ)にのりました。

現金だけしか、つかえませんでした。

しかもお札(さつ)は使えず、コインだけでした。

ちょっと大変(たいへん)でした。

電車に乗るまでに、20分ぐらい、かかりました。

これも旅のいい思い出(おもいで)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！

Micromanagement is a leadership style characterized by excessive oversight and control over subordinates' work processes. It involves closely monitoring and directing employees' actions, often to the detriment of their autonomy, initiative, and morale. Micromanagers tend to delegate tasks without providing sufficient authority or resources, and they frequently intervene in the details of work execution. This behavior can lead to decreased job satisfaction, reduced productivity, and hindered employee development. Effective leadership, in contrast, empowers employees by setting clear expectations, providing necessary support, and fostering a culture of trust and autonomy. By delegating appropriately and offering constructive feedback, leaders can create an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and capable of achieving their full potential.

Micromanagement can manifest in various forms, including:

-Constantly checking on employees' progress, questioning every decision, and demanding frequent updates.

-Taking over tasks that should be delegated, providing unnecessary levels of detail, and interfering with employees' work processes.

-Exhibiting a distrustful attitude towards employees, assuming incompetence, and withholding necessary information.

-Failing to provide clear expectations, offering inconsistent feedback, and creating a climate of fear and uncertainty.

Employees may experience decreased job satisfaction, reduced motivation, and a decline in overall performance. Micromanagement can stifle creativity, innovation, and teamwork, hindering organizational growth and success. To counteract the negative effects of micromanagement, organizations should prioritize leadership development, empower employees, and establish clear performance expectations.

Effective leaders focus on creating a supportive and empowering environment where employees can thrive and contribute to the organization's goals.
