The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.

Cambridge IELTS Reading & Comprehension. The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2

"Terima kasih"
Dua kata sederhana, tapi artinya tidak sederhana
Sejak kecil, kita diajarkan untuk mengucapkan “terima kasih” sebagai bentuk sopan santun
Tapi semakin dewasa, saya sadar bahwa kata ini memiliki makna yang jauh lebih dalam

“Terima” berarti membuka hati, menerima dengan senang hati
 “Kasih” berarti perasaan cinta, perasaan sayang
Jadi, saat kita mengucapkan “terima kasih”, sebenarnya kita sedang membuka tangan 
untuk menerima cinta dari orang lain. Bukan hanya sopan, tapi ada hati yang juga bicara

Ada juga makna lain yang tidak kalah indah,
“Terima” adalah menerima, dan “kasih” adalah memberi
Maka, “terima kasih” adalah gerakan dua arah
Kita menerima dan memberi, sebuah pertukaran rasa

Dalam bahasa Jepang, “arigatou”（ありがとう）berarti 'terima kasih'
yang berasal dari kata arigatai（有難い）, artinya 'sulit untuk terjadi'
Sebuah kesadaran bahwa kebaikan tidak selalu hadir, 
dan karena itu, sangat berharga
Maka ketika seseorang berkata “arigatou”,
itu bukan hanya ucapan terima kasih,
tapi ada makna yang lebih dalam,
“Apa yang kamu lakukan untukku, bukan hal biasa. Aku benar-benar menghargainya.”

Mungkin sudah ribuan kali kita mengucapkan “terima kasih”
tapi, kapan terakhir kali kita mengatakannya dengan hati?

Aku nggak tahu siapa yang sedang kamu pikirkan saat mendengarkan episode ini
Tapi kalau terasa pas, mungkin sekarang adalah waktunya kamu bilang
 “Terima kasih”
Dan semoga kata itu membawa kehangatan…
untuk kalian berdua

すずまりの日本語「ききみみ」ずきん

第33話　探しものは何ですか

... Но лето, лето особенно упоительно в том краю. Там надо искать свежего сухого воздуха, напоенного — не лимоном и не лавром, а просто запахом полыни, сосны и черемухи; там искать ясных дней, слегка жгучих, но не палящих лучей солнца и почти в течение трех месяцев безоблачного неба.
Как пойдут ясные дни, то и длятся недели три-четыре; и вечер тепел там, и ночь душна. Звезды так приветливо, так дружески мигают с небес.
Дождь ли пойдет — какой благотворный летний дождь! Хлынет бойко, обильно, весело запрыгает, точно крупные и жаркие слезы внезапно обрадованного человека; а только перестанет — солнце уже опять с ясной улыбкой любви осматривает и сушит поля и пригорки: и вся страна опять улыбается счастьем в ответ солнцу.
Радостно приветствует дождь крестьянин: «Дождичек вымочит, солнышко высушит!» — говорит он, подставляя с наслаждением под теплый ливень лицо, плечи и спину.
...
