这里是one minute Chinese, 中文一分钟，每天都不同！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题是"如果一个东西坏了"？
如果你的衣服破(po4, worn-out)了，或者你的椅子坏(huai4, broken)了，或者是其他修理（xiu1li3, repair）起来比重新(chong2xin1, again)买一个还贵的东西坏了，你会怎么办？我觉得大部分人都把坏的东西丢掉(diu1diao4, discard)了，从现在越来越多的垃圾(la1ji1, rubbish)就可以看出来。
我记得我很小时候，家里的东西很少，只有床，椅子这样简单(jian3dan1, simple)的家具(jia1ju4, furniture)。家用电器就更少了，冰箱洗衣机都没有，也没有很多衣服，所以家里所有坏掉的东西，爸爸妈妈都要想办法把它修好，比如衣服破了，要把它修补(xiu1bu3, patch)起来，虽然穿起来不是很好看。那时候的生活很少浪费(lang4fei4, waste)，环境(huan1jing4, enviroment)很好。我觉得东西坏了，首先是想办法把它修好，而不像现在，丢了，买新的。我更喜欢过去的方式(fang1shi4, way)，喜欢那种珍惜(zhen1xi1,value)东西的感觉，不知道你怎么认为（ren4wei2, thin）呢？

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。

みなさん、今日の天気(てんき)はどうですか？
日本は、肌寒(はだざむ)いです。

寒(さむ)い、じゃなくて、

肌寒(はだざむ)いです。

秋と冬の間(あいだ)に、よくいいます。

たとえば、近所(きんじょ)の人と

「おはようございます。今朝(けさ)は
肌寒いですね。」

「ほんとですね〜。
そろそろコートを出そうかと思っています。」

といいます。

寒いの少し前の、イメージです。

そろそろ、コートやエアコンがいるなぁ・・というときにいいます。

ほかにも、

「肌寒くなってきたね。今日はあったかいものをたべたいなぁ。」

といいます。

日本では、天気の話をよくします。
会話のはじまりです。

晴れ、雨、くもり、雪、ということではなく、
もっと細(こま)かい天気の話をします。

天気の表現(ひょうげん)をたくさん学ぶと、会話が続きます。

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！

In this episode we are going to learn how to 【Introduce my Chinese teacher】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
