はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の20回目です。私は最近シカゴに旅行に行ったり、大阪で生徒さんに会ったりしていました。大阪は今すごく寒いです。寒いのであんかを買いました。あんかとは足を温める暖房器具です。机でもベッドでも使えるので便利です。

Hello, this is episode 20 of season 2 of my podcast. I've recently been travelling to Chicago and also meeting students in Osaka. It's very cold in Osaka right now. It's so cold that I bought Anka. Anka is a heating device that warms your feet. It is convenient because you can use it at your desk or on your bed. (It's a small electronic device that you can rest your feet on.)

もう今年も終わりですね。生徒さんの中にも、学校や仕事が終わって冬休みを過ごしている人がたくさんいます。最近、生徒さんとライフワークバランスの話をよくします。私もたまには出かけようと思って、外に出ましたが、今日は気温が2度しかなくてとても寒かったです。梅田の近くのクリスマスマーケットを見に行こうと思いましたが、思わず諦めてしまいました。「思わず」とは、するつもりがなかったのに、してしまうことです。代わりに近所でコーヒーを買って、スーパーで買い物をして帰りました。

It's the end of another year. Many of my students are enjoying their winter holidays after school and work. Recently, I have been talking a lot with my students about work-life balance. Therefore I decided to go out once in a while, but it was very cold today with a temperature of only 2 degrees Celsius (35.6F). I thought about going to see the Christmas market near Umeda, but I omowazu gave up. Omowazu (unintentionally) means that you didn't intend to, but you did. Instead, I bought a coffee in my neighbourhood, did some shopping at a supermarket and went home.

スーパーには正月の食材がたくさん並んでいます。カニや、数の子や、干し柿があります。正月はクリスマスの後ですが、日本では正月の方が長い祝日なので、クリスマスの時期から正月の準備を始める家が多いです。クリスマスの食べ物は24日だけ売ってます。12月のスーパーは忙しそうです。正月やクリスマスのための特別な商品を売りますし、正月の間は閉まるので、今はとても混雑しています。私はいつも水を買いますが、運ぶのが重いので少しずつ買わなければなりません。

S2 Ep20. 外が寒すぎる

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、「おはしも」の話(はなし)をしました。

「おはしも」とは、

・おさない
・はしらない
・しゃべらない
・もどらない
のことでしたね。

今日は、この「おはしも」をいつ習(なら)うのか話します。

私の友達(ともだち)は、学校の先生です。

彼女(かのじょ)に、いつ子供たちは「おはしも」を習うのか聞きました。

そのこたえはなんと、3さいでした。

日本の、保育園(ほいくえん)や幼稚園(ようちえん)で習います。

そして、地震(じしん)があったとき、
「おはしも」を思い出します。

私も、いつ習(なら)ったかおぼえていませんでしたが、

3歳とは、思いませんでした。

地震(じしん)が多い国なので、
ちいさいころから、練習(れんしゅう)するんですね。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また、明日。

72. 「おはしも」はいつ習うのか/地震が多い日本②

Crowds of people queued up at Australia's Royal Sydney Botanic Garden on January 23, with some people waiting as long as three hours.

And for what?

A very smelly flower.

The titan arum, known as the "corpse flower," is a tall, pointed plant that releases an unpleasant smell when it blooms. The smell has been likened to things like decaying flesh, gym socks or rotting garbage.

The endangered plant is only found in the Sumatran rainforests in Indonesia, where there are thought to be fewer than 300 of them. It only blooms every 7 to 10 years in its natural habitat.

"The fact that they open very rarely, so they flower rarely, is obviously something that puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage in the wild," said Sophie Daniel from the Royal Sydney Botanic Garden. "When they open, they have to hope that another flower is open nearby, because they can't self-pollinate."

The flower at the botanic garden is the first to bloom there in 15 years, and she's been named Putricia — a combination of "putrid" and "Patricia" — by her fans.

Putricia's online fandom grew quickly and globally. A 24/7 live stream established by the botanic garden drew close to a million views in under a week, and people on social media planned to hurry to the garden as the plant opened. In just 24 hours, Putricia's bloom — and her stench — would be gone.

As she opened, the plant heated to 37 degrees Celsius to better spread her scent. In the wild, the smell tricks pollinators into landing on what they think is rotten meat and spreading pollen between flowers.

Up to 20,000 people filed past for a moment in her pungent presence, leaning in for a sniff or taking selfies.

It was difficult to say why the flower attracted such a following — but perhaps the answer lay in the "reverence" viewers felt in the presence of "such an amazing living being," Daniel said.
