"你的国家最近哪些事物无处不在？在我的解释中发现吧。"

西班牙语表达

"Estar hasta en la sopa", 汤里有什么?

Jennifer goes on an investigation to find out the truth. Did Junior really steal his award-winning design or has Jennifer lost her mind?

This story uses words from '3000 most common words in English'. 


When Jennifer got home that day, she called her grandma. They caught up on the essentials: the move to the new city, the teachers at her school and if she liked her new bedroom. But then Jennifer got down to business.

She explained how this guy called Junior won a gardening award for most innovative design, being the youngest winner in the ceremony’s history. Jennifer’s grandma was supportive of this boy, the way grandparents are always supportive of any accomplishment, big or small. But Jennifer insisted that he was treated like an otherworldly superstar and that it didn’t seem right. 

Jennifer finally just said it. “I think Junior violated the competition rules by copying someone’s design, but I can’t prove it.”

“Oh, my dear, that’s cute, you’ve always loved coming up with adorable little theories. Do you 
remember your friend, Samantha? You two were always playing detectives. Sometimes I see her—”

“—Yes, grandma, but could you help? Take a photo of your neighbour’s garden, please. I think Junior copied her design.”

“Oh, sure thing, dear, I’ll take it after our call and send it straight away. So, tell me more about your new friends…”

Jennifer ended the call by ranting about the truth and how when people manipulate reality, they distort our ability to be authentic individuals. Her grandma kept repeating that’s sweet, dear.

Moments after the call ended, Jennifer received the photo. She compared it to Junior’s. They were identical.

Are You 'Happy-Go-Lucky?'
Is there someone in your life who is always happy? Or maybe someone who brings you a lot of joy? If so, here are some expressions you can use to describe them.

For example, some people call their baby a "bundle of joy." The expression probably comes from the practice of putting babies in blankets, which makes them look like a bundle.

So not long after you were born, your mother could have said to a friend, "Would you like to meet my little bundle of joy?"

A person who doesn't worry about things going wrong and lives their life in a relaxed and happy way can be described as "happy-go-lucky." The expression was first used in print in 1672, but back then it meant "whatever is going to happen will happen."

So if you were worried about your first day of school, your mother might have told you, "Just be your usual happy-go-lucky self, and you'll make lots of friends."

If someone is very happy, you can say they are "as happy as Larry," an expression that comes from either Australia or New Zealand. Some say it refers to Larry Foley, an Australian boxer from the late 19th century who never lost a fight. Others say it refers to the word "larrie" which meant "joke," or to "larrikins," — young men that caused trouble in Australian and New Zealand cities.

So if you came home from school smiling because you had a good time, your mother could have said, "You look as happy as Larry!"

【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は7月7日日曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、七夕（たなばた）についてお話しします。

みなさん、七夕を知っていますか？七夕は毎年7月7日にお祝いする、日本の楽しいお祭りです。今日は、七夕のお話と、お祝いの方法を教えます。

昔々、織姫（おりひめ）という女の子と、彦星（ひこぼし）という男の子がいました。二人は空にある天の川という川のこちらとあちらに住んでいました。織姫は布を作る仕事をしていて、彦星は牛を育てる仕事をしていました。二人はとても仲が良く、一緒に過ごす時間が増えました。でも、遊んでばかりいるので、空の神が怒って、二人を別れさせました。それから、二人は一年に一度、7月7日にだけ会うことができるようになりました。

このお話は、昔、中国から伝わってきました。それが日本に伝わり、七夕としてお祝いされるようになりました。七夕の時期になると、街や家で竹を使った飾りが見られます。竹に色々な色の短冊（たんざく）をかけて、その短冊に願い事を書きます。短冊は、長くて細い形をした紙です。短冊には、「健康でいられますように」とか「JLPT合格！」とか「家族がずっと幸せでありますように」など、いろいろな願い事を書きます。

飾りは、短冊だけではありません。例えば、紙で作った星などがあります。これらの飾りも一緒に竹にかけて、きれいにします。竹は、強くてまっすぐな木です。短冊の色に特に決まりはありません。青、赤、黄、白、緑など、好きな色を使います。

七夕の夜には、夜の空を見上げて、織姫と彦星が天の川で会えるかどうかを想像します。七夕の夜は、とても素敵な時間です。

また、日本のいろいろな場所では、七夕祭りが開かれます。例えば、仙台の七夕祭りはとても有名で、たくさんの観光客が訪れます。みなさんも、もし機会があれば、七夕祭りに参加してみてください。

ここで、みなさんに問題です。七夕の日に短冊に書くのは何ですか？
	1.	名前
	2.	住所
	3.	願い事
正解は「3. 願い事」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。七夕について、楽しんでいただけましたか？ぜひ、みなさんも短冊に願い事を書いて、七夕を楽しんでくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！
