Сказка о рыбаке и  рыбке  часть 1 

こんにちは。漫画（マンガ）「パリピ孔明（英語タイトル＝Ya Boy Kongming!）」がアニメになり、日本だけでなく海外（かいがい＝日本以外の国）でも話題になっています。

この作品のタイトルを解説（かいせつ）しましょう。まず「パリピ」とは「パーティ・ピープル（party people）」を省略（しょうりゃく）した言葉で、「パーティーが大好きな人」を意味します。

パリピは日本の若い女性、「ギャル」が使う言葉＝「ギャル語」として2015年頃に流行、今では若い人を中心に広く使われる言葉になりました。

そして孔明とは諸葛亮孔明（Zhuge Liang）、2～3世紀（2～3 centuries）頃の三国時代（さんごくじだい）の中国（China）で活躍（かつやく）した軍師（ぐんし）、歴史上有名な英雄（えいゆう）です。

現代（げんだい）の日本の渋谷に生まれ変わった孔明が、駆け出し＝まだ実績（じっせき）の無い新人（しんじん）＝の若い女性シンガーソングライターを助けようと、「パリピ」な人たちの中で奮闘（ふんとう）する話が「パリピ孔明」です。

英語から生まれた「ギャル語」＝パリピと、中国の歴史上の偉人（いじん）＝孔明が一緒になったタイトイル「パリピ孔明」、面白いですね。

中国の偉人を日本がアニメや漫画にして、中国の人は怒っていないでしょうか？日本は昔から中国の様々（さまざま）な歴史の出来事や物語を楽しみ、それを元に日本で新たな芝居（しばい）や小説（しょうせつ）を創作（そうさく）してきました。

中国の人は自分たちの物語を、日本人が新たな作品にして楽しんできた歴史を知っており、それを面白いと感じる人が多数います。「パリピ孔明」も、中国の多くのアニメファンは好意的（こういてき）に受け取っています。

他の国や文化の物語を、別の国で映像化（えいぞうか）・商品化（しょうひんか）する行為（こうい）を、「文化の盗用（Cultural appropriation）」とする考え方もありますね。

しかし中国と日本の文化交流（こうりゅう）には長い歴史があり、互いに尊重（そんちょう）して楽しんできました。おかげで「パリピ孔明」のような作品が日本で生まれ、中国でも楽しまれています。

サブカルチャーを通して、国と国との歴史を知るのは楽しいですね。このような話題（わだい）でお話しませんか？では、さようなら。

Comentario sobre la segunda parte de la nueva adaptación cinematográfica de la novela de Alejandro Dumas.

El kinetoscopio

Episodio 8: Los tres mosqueteros - Parte II: Milady

Whenever 不 is before another fourth tone character, it becomes a second tone. 
Take for example, 不错 bùcuò, which means not bad. Since 错 is fourth tone, we read it as búcuò.

Series: The Woman Behind the Words

Many women speak clearly in their own language —
but the moment English enters the room, something inside tightens.

Thoughts speed up.
The body contracts.
The voice becomes careful instead of alive.

This episode explores why this happens even to brilliant, experienced women —
and why the collapse is not about grammar, ability, or vocabulary.

It’s about the internal script that gets activated under pressure:
the fear of being judged,
the urge to sound “perfect,”
the pressure to perform instead of express.

You’ll hear why the voice loses presence in real moments,
what actually drives this reaction,
and how awareness alone begins to restore stability, clarity, and self-trust.

A gentle reflection inside the episode:

“Where do you abandon yourself the moment pressure rises —
and what would it feel like to stay with yourself instead?”

🌿 Mini-Exercise: “Reuniting the Two Voices”

Duration: 2 minutes — soft, no pressure

1. Close your eyes for one breath.
Notice how your body shifts when you think about speaking English.
Don’t fix. Just observe.

2. Ask yourself quietly:

“Who shows up when I speak English — the one who expresses, or the one who tries to survive?”

Let the answer arrive on its own.
Your nervous system will show you the truth faster than your mind.

3. Place one hand on your chest and whisper:

“Both versions of me are allowed to be here.”

This softens the internal split.

4. Now complete this sentence in your mind:

“When I speak English, the part of me that takes over is the part that wants to…”

(…be perfect, avoid judgment, stay safe, not bother anyone, sound smart — whatever is true for you.)

5. One final breath:
Let your shoulders drop 1%.
That 1% is where your real voice begins to return.
