Episode 2 (Patientenbeispiel)

Hi and welcome back to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien.
Illustrations by Justin Todd. Read by me, Teacher Alyse.

📖 Chapter 14: The Marketplace

Before I begin reading, here’s a quick summary of the chapter:

Mrs. Frisby is shocked to learn that her late husband, Jonathan, was part of the rats’ secret past. Nicodemus explains that Jonathan had a good reason for keeping the truth from her, but he never had the chance to share it before he passed. As they talk, Nicodemus suggests moving to a quieter location so he can tell her the full story of the rats’ origins.
He leads Mrs. Frisby to his office, a comfortable and well-furnished space, where she notices a radio playing music. This sparks a memory of something Jonathan once mentioned, and she is fascinated by the sound. Nicodemus then begins to recount the history of the rats, starting at a marketplace near a big city where he and many other rats once lived.
The marketplace provided plenty of food, making life easy for the rats. Nicodemus and his friends, including his intelligent companion Jenner, often explored the area, gathering food and playing. One evening, while searching for food, Nicodemus and the other rats were suddenly caught in a trap. Bright lights flashed, and men in white uniforms appeared, capturing many of them with nets. Nicodemus himself was ensnared, signaling the beginning of a life-changing event for the captured rats.

马老师，您好！据我所知，马老师最开始的时候是作为一名老师。但是是在那个时候，你看到你身上什么样的东西？然后让你决定你你想要创业，然后在那个时候呢，你眼中的成功是什么状态？
马：所以我在想啊，我所有教学生的东西，都是我自己书本上学来的。所以我那时候做一个决定呢，为了当一个很好的老师，我就想到社会上花十年时间办一个企业，然后再回学校去教书。我相信我会更受学生欢迎，这是我单纯的想法。第二，我也在证明一件事，假如马云能够成功中国80%的年轻人都能成功。没法学习比尔盖茨，没法学习李嘉诚，他们太大，太强，你也不知道该怎么学了。如果你刚开始做小店，开小饭馆，你的榜样就是你们斜对面那个小饭馆。他们为什么门口排那么多队，而我们家就是服务员比客户多？他是你的榜样，榜样是一点一滴地学上去。但是我知道那时候有一点是肯定的——我失败的概率很大。即使我失败了，我回到大学教那些失败的经历，我还是最好的老师。

翻译translation:
Q:Hello, Mr. Ma! As far as I know, you started as a teacher. May I ask what made you decide to change and create your own business? And then, what was a success in your opinion?

Ma: I realized that all the things I taught are coming from books. Then I made a decision. I was going to spend ten years building a business and then go back to school to teach. I believe that I will be more popular with students, this is my initial idea. Second, I am trying to prove one thing, if Jack Ma can succeed, 80% of young people in China can succeed. You shouldn't take Bill Gates or Li Ka-Shing as your role model, they are legendary entrepreneurs, and you can’t copy the way they succeed. If you are just starting to open a store or a restaurant, your example is the restaurants across the street. Why do they have so long queues at the door, while there are more waiters than customers in our restaurant? They are the ones you need to learn from bit by bit. But I knew one thing for sure at that moment - I will probably fail. Even if I failed, I can go back to college and share these failures with my students, I was still the best teacher.

"This is what a blockbuster drama is!"
An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth!
Hammurabi has been resurrected from the dead!
This show tells viewers a bitter-sweet emotion like an espresso.

“블록버스터 드라마란 이런 것이다!”라는 걸 제대로 보여준 드라마가 아닐까 싶습니다.
눈에는 눈! 이에는 이!
21세기 함무라비 법전이 되살아났습니다!
쌉싸름하지만 달콤한 에스프레소처럼 시청자들에게 달콤한 하루를 선물합니다.

İngilizçe - selamlar

Geçmiş zaman -1. parçası

HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Hi, there. How can I help you?
CLAIRE: Well, I’m in town visiting for a few days, and I 
need to get some things done while I’m here.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Sure. What do you need?
CLAIRE: I need to get my hair cut. I also need to have my
new pants hemmed.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: OK. Here’s a map of the city. There’s a good hair 
salon here, which is just a block away. And there’s 
a tailor right here. Is there anything else?
CLAIRE: Yes. I’ll need to have my car serviced before my
long drive home!
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: No problem. There’s a good mechanic a few 
blocks away.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, there. Notice the intonation in this greeting. It rises after “Hi” and falls after “there.”
• Sure is a friendly expression to mean “OK.”
• Get my hair cut / have my new pants hemmed / have my car serviced. Notice get/
have + object + participle. This structure is used to describe actions that someone else 
does for us. “Get” and “have” are interchangeable here.
• Is there anything else? here means “Do you need more information?”
• Before my long drive home! Notice the emphasis and intonation on “home.” The 
speaker wants to show humor here. If she doesn’t get her car checked, she might not get 
home! She wants to be friendly and light with the receptionist.
• No problem here means “Don’t worry.” Notice the stress on “No.” The receptionist 
laughs first, then puts emphasis on “No” by lengthening the word. This shows that she 
understands the car could break down if it doesn’t get serviced

Day 15: Running errands 

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は26℃、暑いです。
他の地域では雨が強く降っているようです。

今日は都道府県シリーズ4つ目を話します。
今日は岩手県について、です。
岩手県は青森県の南、秋田県の東にあります。


大きさ、面積は、15,000km2
人口は、約1,190,000人

県の木　ナンブアカマツ
県の花　キリ
県の鳥　キジ

有名なご当地グルメは、(ご当地はその地域だけの、という意味です)

盛岡じゃじゃ麺です。これは、『白龍』というお店の人が戦前に、昔の満州（今の中国）で食べたものをもとに作ったようです。

そして、盛岡冷麺です。これは、朝鮮半島から日本に移住した人が盛岡で冷麺の販売をはじめたことがはじまりなようです。


最後にわんこそばです。
岩手では昔は米より蕎麦の栽培が盛んでした。
ですが、蕎麦は茹でなければならず一度にたくさん茹でる事もできません。そこで、何回にも分けて少しずつの蕎麦を出しておかわりしてもらう事で、そばを出す時間を短くしたようです。たくさんの蕎麦をゆで続けて何回にも分けて出すことで、みんながお腹一杯になるまで食べる事ができるのが「わんこそば」だそうです。


観光で有名なのは、
中尊寺金色堂(ちゅうそんじこんじきどう)ですかね。
お寺ですね。仏教思想の影響で中尊寺の庭は、極楽浄土をあらわしている、ともいわれています。
私も行ったことはありませんが、学校の歴史の授業で何度も聞いたことがあります。
これがある地域は世界遺産にもなっています。


個人的に興味があるのは、わんこそば、ですね。
そばが大好きなので、どれぐらい食べれるか、挑戦してみたいです。


ということで、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！
