Life Lessons from Aesop's Fables

Episode 8: The Plane Tree

Story = '2000 most common words in English'. 

It was 10am on a cloudy Friday when Bobby was struck by inspiration.  It was a day like any other. Bobby was sitting on his bed, curled up in a ball and Afsane was nearby reading a new book.

Bobby was deep in thought. His eyes were closed but his mind was active. His little tail was wagging softly. Occasionally he got up, turned around and sat back down again. This was part of his creative process. 

Then Bobby’s eyes shot open. “Yes! That’s it! I’ll… I’ll…” Then he rested his head again on his paws.  “No… it’s gone.” 

Asfane turned her attention back to her book and turned the page. The book was called, How to Live with An Extraordinary Dog. She wanted to better understand Bobby’s gift.

“You’ve done so many projects,” said Afsane. “Why don’t you revisit an old idea and explore it from a different viewpoint?” 

All over Bobby’s room were his photographs. They were all in special frames. He had taken photos of almost everything: parks, sports, markets, transportation, roads—whatever Bobby saw, he snapped a photo. But he didn’t know what to do for his next photography project. 

Bobby needed to refresh his mind. He jumped off the bed and walked over to his food area. On the wall in front of his red drinking bowl was a picture of his previous drinking bowl, a blue one. 

“I’m looking for a special subject, Afsane,” said Bobby after drinking some water. “Something which speaks to my soul. Something which lifts my spirits.” 

Afsane shrugged her shoulders and put down her book. “That sounds very serious, Bobby. Why don’t you just take a photo of… oh, I don’t know, that.” 

Afsane pointed to the open window. 

Bobby felt curious, so he jumped up and looked out the window. He didn’t see much. He watched the traffic and the dark clouds. But then, something caught his eye. 

Bobby barked and howled! “That’s it! That’s it!”

“See, I told you. There’s nothing boring about windows,” said Afsane.

“No. There! Children!”

La mouette rieuse.
Bonjour, je suis Rieuse, la mouette rieuse. C’est mon vrai nom. Je vis surtout à la mer. J’adore jouer avec les vagues, en poussant des cris perçants ! En hiver, je préfère les villes et le bord des fleuves. On me jette du pain et des restes de repas. Je suis très gourmande.
Ce matin, j’ai rencontré une souris. J’allais l’attraper quand elle a crié:
- Je suis la souris verte, une souris magique. Si tu me manges, tu seras transformée en corbeau !
Moi, la mouette rieuse, changée en corbeau ? J’ai préféré quelques vers de terre pour mon dîner. Pourtant, je crois que cette souris verte était une farceuse. Qu’en penses-tu?

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
打をやります！　

音読み　だ
訓読み　うーつ　送り仮名は、つ

意味は、うつ、たたく、とかです。
打つ、という言葉は日本では野球で使われることが多いです。その為、この文字は野球の関係の言葉が多いです。また、野球の言葉から転じて日常生活で使うこともよくあります。

例えば、

・打撃ーだげき　強く打つこと、相手に痛手を与えること

・打刻ーだこく　時刻を記録すること

・打算ーださん　損得を考えて判断すること

・打席ーだせき　野球のバッターボックスのこと、ビジネスなどの機会などの表現にも使う

・代打ーだいだ　ピンチヒッター。交代して打席に立つこと。転じてビジネスなどで誰かの代わりに仕事を受けること。

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・物価がほとんど変わらなかった30年は日本の成長に大きな打撃を与えた

・仕事から上がる時には忘れずに打刻してください

・彼はいつも打算的に行動する

・できるだけたくさんの打席に上がった方がいいよ

・今日は鈴木さんの代打で来ました。よろしくお願いします。


こんな感じです。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
