上次发了疫情文学（1）很多朋友不禁捧腹，于是今天出了疫情文学（2）以飨读者：D


1.	于千万人之中遇到你所要遇见的人，于千万年之中，时间无涯的荒野里，没有早一步，没有晚一步。刚好赶上了，那也没有别的话好说，唯有轻轻的问一句：“哦，你也在这里排队做核酸吗？”
2.	“生活总是这么痛苦吗？还是只有疫情的时候才这样？”“总是这样”
3.	我要看的不只是绿码，还有您的48小时核酸检测报告，纳斯塔霞 菲利波夫纳“公爵说。”你是说我？我的48小时核酸检测报告？“”是的，您“，
4.	这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是一个新冠的年代，这是一个核酸的年代；这是一个封城的时期，这是一个带口罩的时期。
5.	假如你有幸生活在21世纪20年代，那么你此后一生中不论去到哪里，口罩、健康码，核酸检测都与你同在，因为疫情是一席流动的盛宴。

Tour Eiffel : un éclairage remis en question 

Full transcript: https://japanesemayuna.com/

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの28回目です。私は最近、鼻水が止まりません。季節が変わるときは、寒暖差アレルギーというアレルギーが出ます。寒暖差アレルギーは、気温の差が7度以上になると出やすいそうです。特に朝と夜がひどいです。寝不足になるのは辛いですが、私はずっと家にいるので、昼に休むことができます。最近のレッスンはだいたい午前中です。

Hello. This is episode 28 of my podcast. I have had a runny nose recently. When the seasons change, I get an allergy called a cold weather allergy. I’m told that cold-weather allergies are more likely to appear when the temperature difference is more than seven degrees Celsius. It is particularly bad in the morning and at night. It is hard for me to sleep, but I am at home all the time, so I can rest during the day. My lessons these days are usually in the morning.

最近また、音楽を作り始めました。私は美術大学に通っていました。入学試験のために二年ぐらいデッサンを勉強しました。音楽や、美術や、スポーツなど、文化的な活動はなんでもそうですが、頭で理解することより、練習を通して経験することが重要です。先生のアドバイスは感覚的な表現が多く、同じ経験がないと理解できないからです。筋肉だけではなく、耳や目なども、活動するためのトレーニングが重要です。

I recently started making music again. I used to go to art college. I studied drawing for about two years for the entrance exam. As with any cultural activity, be it music, art or sports, it is more important to experience it through practice than to understand it in your head. This is because the teacher’s advice is often expressed in sensory terms, which cannot be understood without the same experience. Physical muscle training is important for certain activities. However, training our hearing sense and visual sense is important too.

なので20代のときは、ほとんど毎日絵を描いていました。しかし、それは思っていたより楽しくありませんでした。私は小さい頃から絵を描くことが好きでしたが、絵を描くことで、空想の世界にいることが好きでした。人に絵を見せて褒められることよりも、一人で絵を描いて楽しんでいる時間の方が重要でした。評価にはあまり興味がありませんでした。

So when I was in my twenties, I drew almost every day. But it wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. I had loved drawing since I was a little girl, but I loved it because it let me be in my own imaginary world. It was more important to me to spend time alone drawing and having fun than to show my drawings to others and receive compliments. I was not really interested in evaluation.
