CHISTES MEXICANOS

Serendipia.

OK, we talk about communication between different cultures, but did you know that emotion can be a determinant factor in distinguishing them? Some people are more affective, others rather neutral. And we bet you might have noticed that in your everyday interactions. But why?

The Age of Humans

Episode 2: Affective vs Neutral Cultures 

他的脸气得发红，然后又接着说道：
His face turned from white to red as he continued:
如果有人爱上了在这亿万颗星星中独一无二的一株花，当他看着这些星星的时候，这就足以使他感到幸福。
If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars.
他可以自言自语地说：“我的那朵花就在其中的一颗星星上”，
He can say to himself, "Somewhere, my flower is there."
但是如果羊吃掉了这朵花，对他来说，好像所有的星星一下子全都熄灭了一样！
But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened.
这难道也不重要吗？！
And you think that is not important!
他无法再说下去了，突然泣不成声。
He could not say anything more. His words were choked by sobbing.
夜幕已经降临。
The night had fallen.
我放下手中的工具。
I had let my tools drop from my hands.
我把锤子、螺钉、饥渴、死亡，全都抛在脑后。

Of what moment now was my hammer, my bolt, or thirst, or death?
在一颗星球上，在一颗行星上，在我的行星上，在地球上有一个小王子需要安慰！
On one star, one planet, my planet, the Earth, there was a little prince to be comforted.
我把他抱在怀里。
I took him in my arms, and rocked him.
我摇着他，对他说：“你爱的那朵花没有危险。”
I said to him："The flower that you love is not in danger."
我给你的小羊画一个罩子。
I will draw you a muzzle for your sheep.
我给你的花画一副盔甲…我…
I will draw you a railing to put around your flower. I will。
我也不太知道该说些什么。
I did not know what to say to him.
我觉得自己太笨拙。
I felt awkward and blundering.
我不知道怎样才能达到他的境界，怎样才能再进入他的境界。
I did not know how I could reach him, where I could overtake him and go on hand in hand with him once more.
唉，泪水的世界是多么神秘啊！
It is such a secret place, the land of tears.

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。

私は先週(せんしゅう)、
道後温泉(どうごおんせん)へ行きました。

道後温泉は、愛媛県(えひめけん)にある
とても有名(ゆうめい)な温泉です。

日本最古(にほんさいこ)の温泉と言われています。

日本最古とは、日本でいちばん古い
という意味です。

なんと、3000年前(さんぜんねんまえ)
からあるそうです。

昔(むかし)の有名な人、
聖徳太子(しょくとくたいし)や、
夏目漱石(なつめそうせき)が、
道後温泉に来たことがあるそうです。

すごいですねぇ‥！

みなさん、スタジオジブリの
"千と千尋の神隠し"という
映画(えいが)を知っていますか？

英語の名前と、日本語の名か前は全然(ぜんぜん)ちがいますが‥
この"千と千尋の神隠し"の
モデルのひとつとなった場所が、
道後温泉です。

建物(たてもの)は
とても魅力的(みりょくてき)でした。

温泉は、やわらかいお湯で、
肌がしっとりとしましたよ。

ご飯もおいしかったです。

道後温泉の話はまたしたいと思います。

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 video, I explained why I will move to Astana without going into too much detail. I preferred slow narration and understandable language. This podcast is suitable for A2-B2 level Turkish learners. It may be difficult for A1 level students, but remember, no pain, no gain!
