Which One is Suitable? 适合 or 合适？ 

今年の7月に日本で大地震が発生するといううわさが広まっているようです。そのことに関するニュースについて話しました。

［ニュース］大地震のうわさ

It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness

En este breve pódcast os hablo de la vida en el barrio cuando era pequeño. ¡Cómo ha cambiado todo desde entonces! Empezando por los parques; que no tienen nada que ver con los de antes. Los de antes eran de tierra y estaban llenos de árboles. Los de ahora son de cementos y no hay quien pueda jugar en ellos.

요즘 환경 문제에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 일회용품을 줄이려는 사람들이 많아지고 있습니다. 카페에서는 개인 컵을 사용하는 손님에게 할인 혜택을 주고, 마트에서는 비닐봉지 대신 천 가방을 사용하는 고객이 늘고 있습니다.

어제는 친구와 함께 등산을 갔습니다. 처음에는 길이 평탄해서 쉽게 올라갔지만, 정상 근처에서는 바람이 세고 길이 미끄러워서 힘들었습니다. 그래도 정상에서 본 경치는 정말 아름다웠습니다.
