[前回より]   私は店員から二つのおにぎりとレシートを受け取ると自分のカバンに入れた。店内を見回すと客は私だけのようだ。それから店を出ると男が一人店の前の横に座っていた。


その男は気分が悪そうだ、顔を下に向けている。
そして、静かにゆっくり呼吸をしている。
私はその男が心配になったので、声をかけることにした。


私　「大丈夫ですか？」

男　「、、、、、」

私　「あの〜、だいじょうぶですか？」

男　「うっ、う〜ん。少しお酒を飲みすぎたみたい、気分がわるいけど、だいじょうぶ。あっ、ありがとう。　コンビニにあったレモン缶のお酒を500ml2本飲んだんだ。一気に飲んだから酔いが急に回ったみたいだ。おにいさん、水持っている？」

私　「　あっ、水ですか、これ新しいのがあるから飲んでください、あげます」

男　「お〜、助かるわ〜」

男は私が渡したペットボトルの水をゆっくり飲み始めた。それから、大きく深呼吸をした。

I took the two rice balls and the receipt from the clerk and put them in my bag. I looked around the store and I seemed to be the only customer. Then I left the store and saw a man sitting next to the front of the store.


The man looks sick, his face downcast.
And he is breathing quietly and slowly.
I was worried about him, so I decided to speak to him.


Me - "Are you okay?"

The man "、、、、、"

Me - "Um, are you okay?"

The guy "Ummm. I think I drank a little too much alcohol, I don't feel well, but I'm fine. Oh, thank you.　I drank two 500 ml bottles of lemon canned alcohol that I found at a convenience store. I drank them all at once, so I feel like I'm getting drunk too fast. Do you have any water?

I "Oh, water? I have a new one, please drink it, I'll give it to you.

The guy "Oh, thank you very much.

The man slowly began to drink from the plastic bottle I handed him. Then he took a deep breath.

大家好，我是Yuli。这是我在italki的第一期播客，很高兴可以跟你一起分享。在我的频道，我会分享各种主题的闲谈。内容大概是1到2分钟，文稿会放在每一集播客下面。希望对你的中文学习有所帮助，那我们开始吧。
今天想和大家聊一聊睡眠的话题。
你是早睡早起的人，还是夜猫子呢？夜猫子，大家看晚上的猫是不是经常不睡觉，在外面玩儿呢？所以夜猫子就是指晚上不想睡觉、喜欢熬夜的人。那早上不想起床怎么说呢？睡懒觉。懒就是lazy的意思。
晚上熬夜的时候，你一般是在做什么呢？有的人是在加班，有的人是在学习，有的人是在打游戏，还有的人是想睡但是睡不着。这个我们叫失眠。你会失眠吗？我有时候会失眠。如果白天喝了太多茶，或者晚上工作到太晚，我的大脑非常清醒，那我就失眠了。失眠的时候你会怎么办呢？躺在床上等着睡着，还是玩手机，还是起来工作或者学习呢？我发现，失眠的时候起来看书，过一会儿就犯困了，自然就可以入睡了。
你的睡眠怎么样呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

夜猫子	yè māo zi	night owl (people who sleeps very late)
熬夜	áo yè	stay up late
睡懒觉	shuì lǎn jiào	sleep in/ sleep late (in the morning)
失眠	shī mián	Insomnia
清醒	qīng xǐng	wide awake
犯困	fàn kùn	feel sleepy
自然	zì rán	naturally
入睡	rù shuì	fall asleep
