Episode 1: Идти или Ехать? 

افسوس که نامه جوانی طی شد، و آن تازه بهار زندگانی طی شد
آن مرغ که نام او بود شباب، فریاد که ندانم کی آمد کی شد!

Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close! The Nightingale that in the branches sang, Ah whence, and whither flown again, who knows!

Persian Poetry

Khayyam - افسوس که نامه جوانی طی شد

Hi大家好，我是Cara，欢迎收听我的频道Talk to Cara in Chinese.

今天的节目，想跟大家分享一个中国的传统节日：元宵节。
元宵节是在农历正月十五，也是春节的最后一天。在元宵节，我们的活动是去看花灯。全国每一个城市都会举办大型的花灯展览活动，如果你在上海，可以去上海豫园元宵灯会，如果你在四川省，可以去四川自贡市的自贡灯会，如果你在南京，可以去南京秦淮灯会，这些都是非常具有传统性和地方特色的灯会。在中国古代，我们除了看花灯，还会猜灯谜。当然在现代中国，还有一些城市保留着猜灯谜的活动。我会在这个节目的小测试环节给大家出几个灯谜。

当然，中国灯艺文化也存在着地域的差异。花灯是南方的标志，刚才说的上海，南京，自贡都是中国南方城市。如果你在中国的东北，一定要去看哈尔滨市的元宵节冰雕。

除了看灯会以外，元宵节还有一项习俗不能错过。那就是吃汤圆（南方吃汤圆，北方吃元宵，食物的做法不一样）。汤圆是由糯米粉揉成的圆圆的团子，象征着家庭圆满。汤圆的馅儿可以是甜的，比如芝麻，芋泥等，在我的家乡莆田，汤圆是咸的，我们会把肉末，香菇，花生放在一起，炒熟做成馅料，包出来的汤圆是普通汤圆的两倍，我们叫大汤圆。
有时候，我们做一颗特殊的汤圆，里面放入一枚消过毒的硬币。如果你吃到了这枚带着硬币的汤圆，那么它预示着你在新的一年里财运都会很好。
好的，今天的节目就到这里，如果你喜欢我的节目，可以订阅我的播客频道。我还做了一期关于红包的节目，感兴趣的朋友可以去我的播客频道收听。如果你有任何的意见或者建议，可以私信给我或者在我们的课堂上讨论。我们下次节目再见！

日本語付き・港式粤语「声调组合」系列 : 　１–２声调组合 

TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These expressions of importance cover a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might refer to something as "important," "significant," or even employ a casual "crucial" to stress its significance. When something is truly crucial, phrases like "This is absolutely crucial" and "This cannot be overstated" underscore its critical nature. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "This is a big deal" or "This is a game-changer," indicating a noteworthy event. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "This holds great significance" or "This bears immense importance," emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Politeness tempers the description in expressions such as "This is very important" or "This holds a lot of weight," demonstrating a respectful acknowledgment of its significance. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the importance, as seen in expressions like "This is kind of a big deal" or "This is a real game-changer." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate the weight of a situation with statements like "This is of considerable importance" or "This holds a certain gravitas," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, the gravity of a matter is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "This holds great import" or "This is of profound significance," underscoring the formal nature of the description. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

桜は、まだ五分咲きです。/花の話③
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。

今週(こんしゅう)は、花の話(はなし)をします。🌸

きのうは、桜(さくら)の開花(かいか)についてはなしましたね。

桜が咲(さ)いてからも、まいにちニュースで桜の話があります。

え、なんで？
もう桜は咲いてるのに？！

と思いますよね。

じつは、"いま、どのぐらい咲いているのか"についてのニュースがあります。

どのくらい‥10%くらい？

それとも、50%くらい？

このとき、桜につかう日本語があります。

それが、「〇〇咲き」(まるまるざき)

という、ことばです。

たとえば、30%くらいの桜は、

「三分咲き」(さんぶざき)

といいます。

30%は咲いていて、
のこりの70%はまだ咲いていないことです。

ほかにも、
「五分咲き」(ごぶざき)は半分(はんぶん)くらいの桜のこと。

「七分咲き」(ななぶざき)は

70%の桜が咲いていることです。

そして、すべての桜が咲いていることを

"満開"(まんかい)といいます。

すべての花が開(ひら)くことですね。

友達(ともだち)との会話(かいわ)では、

「あそこの桜を見に行く？」

「え、でもまだ五分咲きだよー。

来週(らいしゅう)にしない？」

といいます。

桜が満開なのは、すごくみじかいです。

だいたい、1週間(いっしゅうかん)くらいです。
雨がふると、もっとみじかくなります。

でも、桜が満開のときに、日本に来てほしいです😊

三分咲きや五分咲きの桜も、きれいですが‥

やっぱり満開のときは、ほんとうにきれいです。

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。
