Wall Street Journal Headlines 1

퇴근길이었다.
유하는 늘 그렇듯 이어폰을 꽂고 익숙한 골목길을 걸었다.
벽돌 담 너머로 고양이 한 마리가 느릿하게 지나가고, 오래된 가로등 아래엔 국화꽃 한 송이가 놓여 있었다.

그런데 오늘은, 누군가 그 꽃을 들고 서 있었다.
수트 차림의 낯선 남자. 창백한 얼굴, 그러나 눈빛은 또렷했다.

그는 유하를 보며 말했다.
“유하 씨 맞죠?”

“저를 아세요?”

그는 국화꽃을 유하에게 내밀며 말했다.
“이 꽃, 유하 씨를 위해 준비했어요. 처음 뵙지만… 오늘이 시작이었으면 좋겠네요.”

처음 만나는 사람이, 내 이름을 안다?
그날 밤, 유하는 잠들지 못했다.
그리고 다음 날, 그는 정말 다시 나타났다.

It was on her way home from work.
As always, Yuha walked down the familiar alley with her earphones in.
A stray cat sauntered past the brick wall, and beneath the old streetlamp stood a single chrysanthemum.

But today, someone was holding that flower.
A man in a suit, pale but with piercing eyes.

He looked at her and said,
“You’re Yuha, right?”

“Do I know you?”

He held out the flower to her.
“This flower… I prepared it for you. It's our first meeting, but I hope it’s the beginning.”

A complete stranger knew her name.

That night, Yuha couldn’t sleep.
And the next day—just as he said—he appeared again.

 길고양이 = stray cat

국화= chrysanthemum 

꿰뚫는 듯한 눈빛= piercing eyes 

다시 나타나다= appear again

みんな元気？
今日は少しもう時間たっちゃったけど、大晦日について少し話したいと思います。
みんなは大晦日何した？
多分出身の地域とか今住んでる場所とか家族によっても全然違うと思うけど、果たしてみんなはどのように大晦日を過ごしましたか？
あっ、もしかしたらこれを聞いてくれてる人の中に『大晦日』ってなんぞや？って思ってる人もいるかもしれないから、説明するね！
大晦日は12月31日のことで、英語だとNew Year’s Eve ですね。
日本人にとっては一年で最も大切な日の一つで、まぁ人にもよるけど、結構みんな伝統的なことをして家族と過ごすことが多いですねぇ。
んで、大晦日にする伝統的なこととはなんぞや？というと、例えば『年越しそば』っていう大晦日限定で食べる蕎麦を食べたり、『紅白歌合戦』って言う日本の大晦日に毎年テレビで流れてる70年以上続いてる番組を見る人も多いし、これは結構色んな国の人がやってると思うけど、いろんな人と集まってテレビを見たりお酒を飲んだりしながらカウントダウンをしてる人たちもいます！
俺は行ったことないんだけど、カウントダウンに合わせて花火が打ち上がる結構大きな花火大会をやっているところもあるみたいですね。
そうそう、日本の大晦日はだいたいみんなこんな感じで時間を過ごすんだけど、俺はどうやって去年の大晦日を過ごしたかって言う話だよね。
実は俺去年の大晦日ははスウェーデンから追い出されて間もなかったから『あぁ、早く嫁と猫たちにあいてぇぇ』って思ってて精神的にかなり落ち込んでた時期だったんだけど、そんな時に日本の友達が集まって一緒に集まって筋トレしてくれて、彼らに筋肉をバチバチに壊されたから、肉体的にはかなりキツかったけど、精神的にはかなり気持ちよくなってたんだよね。
んで、少し気分が楽になった後は、お世話になってるおばあちゃんちに帰ったんだけど、おばあちゃんが年越しそばを作って待っててくれて、そのあったかくて信じられないくらい美味しいお蕎麦を食べて余計に元気になりました。おばあちゃん、ありがとう、マジで感謝してます。
んで、そばを食べた後はね、俺もカウントダウンまで起きてよっかなって思ってたんだけど、おばあちゃんの美味しいあったかいそばのせいでめっっっちゃ眠くなってきちゃったから、日本人にとってはかなり大事な日であるはずなのに、俺は普通の日となにも変わらずに10時頃にぐっすり寝ました。
もうおっさんだよね完全に。
全然起きてられないんだもん。
悔しいけど俺の大晦日はこんな感じだったな。
みんなはニューイヤーズ・イブ、a.k.a大晦日は何してた？
ぜひ俺に教えてね！待ってます！
それじゃあ今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。
また次回のエピソードでお会いしましょう！
じゃ、またね！
バイバイ！

¿Sabías que la ciudad de Buenos Aires es famosa por sus actividades nocturnas? 
En este episodio te contaré brevemente sobre cómo es la noche porteña.

"不行" (bù xíng) is a more casual and colloquial expression, and it is often used to indicate that something is not feasible or practical. It can be translated as "can't" or "won't work."
"不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is a more formal and polite expression, and it is often used to indicate that something is not allowed according to rules or regulations. It can be translated as "cannot" or "not allowed."
Here are some examples that illustrate the difference between "不行" (bù xíng) and "不可以" (bù kě yǐ):
Example 1:
A: 你能给我五块钱吗？ (nǐ néng gěi wǒ wǔ kuài qián ma?) (Can you give me five dollars?)
B: 不行，我没有五块钱。 (bù xíng, wǒ méi yǒu wǔ kuài qián) (No, I don't have five dollars.)
B: 不可以，这是违反公司规定的。 (bù kě yǐ, zhè shì wéi fǎn gōng sī guī dìng de) (No, it is against company rules.)
In the first example, "不行" (bù xíng) is used to indicate that the person does not have the requested amount of money. In the second example, "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is used to indicate that giving the money is against company rules.
"不行" (bù xíng) might be more appropriate if the person simply does not have the requested amount of money, while "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) might be more appropriate if there is a rule or regulation that prevents the person from giving the money.

Example 2:
A: 你能把这个盒子放在桌子上吗？ (nǐ néng bǎ zhè gè hé zǐ fàng zài zhuō zi shàng ma?) (Can you put this box on the table?)
B: 不行，它太大了。 (bù xíng, tā tài dà le) (No, it is too big.)
B: 不可以，桌子上没有足够的空间。 (bù kě yǐ, zhuō zi shàng méi yǒu zú gòu de kōng jiān) (No, there is not enough space on the table.)
In the first example, "不行" (bù xíng) is used to indicate that the box is too large to fit on the table. In the second example, "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is used to indicate that there is not enough space on the table.
"不行" (bù xíng) might be more appropriate if the box is too large to fit on the table, while "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) might be more appropriate if there is not enough space on the table.
