第四集：用中文怎么砍价？How to bargain in Chinese?

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今回も慣用句シリーズでいきます。

今日は肩を使った慣用句です。
今日も3つ話します。

① 肩の荷が下りる ーかたのにがおりる
これは、責任などから解放されて、気持ちが楽になる、という意味です。
例えば、
ーこの大役が終わって肩の荷が下りた。
ーこの仕事をやめて、ようやく肩の荷が下りた。
などと使います。


② 肩を落とす ーかたをおとす
これは、がっかりすること、を指す意味です。
例えば、
ー大切な試験に落ちた彼は、大きく肩を落とした。
ー彼はずっと好きだった彼女に振られ、大きく肩を落とした。
などと使います。

③ 肩を持つ ーかたをもつ
これは、対立している人の一方の味方をすること、などの意味です。
例えば、
ーそうやっていつもあの人の肩を持って！とか、
ーあの部長はいつも彼の肩を持つよね。
とか、言います。



肩は責任、期待のようなイメージとして捉えられていることが多いです。他の国ではどうなんでしょうか。気になりますね。

ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
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！

To Koreans, what is the warmest, most delicious, and comforting sound in the world? 🍲
It's '보글보글' (Bo-geul-bo-geul). This word is the sound of hot water or delicious stew boiling up.
But to Koreans, it’s much more than just a cooking sound. It’s the sound of "affectionate warmth"—the sound of someone preparing a hot meal and waiting for you after a long, exhausting day. When you hear a stew boiling bo-geul-bo-geul in a small pot, the cold fatigue of the day simply melts away.

You did a great job today. What warm, bo-geul-bo-geul food will heat up your tired heart tonight?

<h4>Our characters DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?</h4>
They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls.
