Today's episode is about 운동.
Recently I started to go to a pilates class.
It's not so easy but I'm trying to enjoy it for my health!

Do you also workout or play sports?

Ep.12 「もんじゃ焼（や）き」を知（し）っていますか？😋

第四个行星是一个实业家的星球。
The fourth planet belonged to a businessman.
这个人忙得不可开交，小王子到来的时候，他甚至连头都没有抬一下。
This man was so much occupiedthat he did not even raise his head at the little prince's arrival.
小王子对他说：“您好。您的烟卷灭了。”
"Good morning," the little prince said to him. "Your cigarette has gone out."
三加二等于五。五加七等于十二。十二加三等于十五。
Three and two make Five. Five and seven make twelve. Twelve and three make Fifteen.
你好。十五加七，二十二。二十二加六，二十八。
Good morning. Fifteen and seven make twenty-two.Twenty-twoand six make twenty-eight.
没有时间去再点着它。
I haven't time to light it again.
二十六加五，三十一。
Twenty-six and Five make thirty-one.
哎哟！一共是五亿一百六十二万二千七百三十一。
Phew! Then that makes Five-hundred-and-one-million,six-hundred-twenty-two-thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one.
“五亿什么呀？”小王子问。
"Five hundred million what?" asked the little prince.
嗯？你还待在这儿那？
Eh? Are you still there?
五亿一百万，我也不知道是什么了。我的工作很多!

Five-hundred-and-one million, I can't stop, I have so much to do!
我是很严肃的。
I am concerned with matters of consequence.
我可是从来也没有功夫去闲聊！二加五得七…
I don't amusemyself with balderdash. Two and Five make seven...
“五亿一百万什么呀？”小王子重复问道。
"Five-hundred-and-one million what?" repeated the little prince,
一旦他提出了一个问题，是从来也不会放弃的。
who neverin his life had let go of a question once he had asked it.
这位实业家抬起头说。
The businessman raised his head.
我住在这个星球上五十四年以来，只被打搅过三次。
During the Fifty-four years that I have inhabited this planet, I have been disturbed only three times.
第一次是二十二年前，不知从哪里跑来了一只金龟子来打搅我。
The First time was twenty-two years ago, when some giddy goose fell from goodness knows where.
它发出一种可怕的噪音，
He made the most frightful noise that resounded all over the place,
使我在一笔帐目中出了四个差错。
and I made four mistakes in my addition.
第二次，在十一年前，是风湿病发作，
因为我缺乏锻炼所致。
我没有功夫闲逛。我可是个严肃的人。
现在…这是第三次！
我计算的结果是五亿一百万…

几百万什么？
这位实业家知道要想安宁是无望的了，就说道：

几百万个小东西，这些小东西有时出现在天空中。

苍蝇吗？
Flies?
不是，是些闪闪发亮的小东西。
Oh, no. Little glittering objects.
是蜜蜂吗？
Bees?
不是，是金黄色的小东西，这些小东西叫那些懒汉们胡思乱想

我是个严肃的人。我没有时间胡思乱想。


小王子-The Little Prince-Read in Chinese

小王子第29章：很严肃的人

今日はふたつの「いがい」についてお話しします。
「この映画は意外に面白かった」
みなさんはこの「意外」の意味がわかりますか？
この「意外」は「想像していたことと違う」時に使います。つまり面白くないと思っていた映画が実は面白かったという意味です。

次の文はもう一つの「以外」を使った文です。
「私は仕事以外のことには興味がない」この文の意味はわかりますか？「私は仕事にだけ興味がある。他のことには興味がない。」ということです。
また、「私は日本語以外話せません」と言うと、「私は日本語だけ話せます。他の言語は話せません。」という意味です。

最後に、最近起こった意外だったエピソードをお話します。どちらの意味か考えて聞いてください。

私は先日ギリシャに旅行に行きました。ドイツの田舎にある小さな空港からのフライトだったので、小さな飛行機を使うのかなと思っていたら、意外に大きな飛行機だったのでびっくりしました。

このふたつの「いがい」はどちらもよく使うので正確に使えるようになるまで練習しましょう！

意外：surprisingly
以外：except for, apart from~
想像する：そうぞうする　imagine
つまり：to sum up
興味がある：きょうみがある　I’m interested in
ギリシャ：greece
