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!"

こんにちは！みほです。みなさん元気ですか。私のポッドキャスト「Mihongo Nihongo」へようこそ！
このポッドキャストでは、私がみじかい話(はなし)をします。みなさんは私の話を聞(き)いて、質問(しつもん)に答(こた)えてください。

きょうの話は「休(やす)みの日」です。質問は３つです。
①私は休みの日、何を勉強(べんきょう)しますか？
②私は日曜日(にちようび)、だれと出かけますか？
③どうして私はちょっとさみしいですか？

じゃあ準備(じゅんび)はいいですか？始めましょう！

みなさんは休みの日、何をしますか。私はアニメを見たり、ゲームをしたりします。あと、英語(えいご)も勉強します。最近(さいきん)、フランス語も始めました。それから、ときどき夫(おっと)と息子(むすこ)と出かけます。息子が小さかった時(とき)は、毎週(まいしゅう)日曜日に家族(かぞく)で出かけていました。でも、最近息子は友達(ともだち)とあそぶのがたのしいから、あまりいっしょに出かけません。いいことですが、ちょっとさみしいですね。


ではもう一度(いちど)質問です。
①私は休みの日、何を勉強(べんきょう)しますか？
②私は日曜日、だれと出かけますか？
③どうして私はちょっとさみしいですか？

答えです。
①英語とフランス語を勉強します。
②夫と息子と出かけます。
③最近息子が友達とあそぶので、あまり家族でいっしょに出かけないからです。
