Zeynep'le Türkçe Sohbetler

第六颗行星则要大十倍。
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one.
上面住着一位老先生，他在写作大部头的书。
It was inhabited by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books.
“瞧！来了一位探险家。”老先生看到小王子时，叫了起来。
"Oh, look! Here is an explorer!" he exclaimed to himself when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子在桌旁坐下，有点气喘吁吁。
The little prince sat down on the table and panted a little.
他跑了多少路啊！
He had already traveled so much and so far!
“你从哪里来的呀？”老先生问小王子。
"Where do you come from?" the old gentleman said to him.
“这一大本是什么书？你在这里干什么？”小王子问道。
"What is that big book?" said the little prince. "What are you doing?"
“我是地理学家。”老先生答道。
"I am a geographer," the old gentleman said to him.
“什么是地理学家？”小王子问。
"What is a geographer?" asked the little prince.
地理学家，就是一种学者，他知道哪里有海洋，哪里有江河、城市、山脉、沙漠。
A geographer is a scholar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers,towns, mountains, and deserts.
“这倒挺有意思。”小王子说。“这才是一种真正的行当。”
"That is very interesting," said the little prince. "Here at last is a man who has a real profession!"
他朝四周围看了看这位地理学家的星球。
And he cast a look around him at the planet of the geographer.
他还从来没有见过一颗如此壮观的行星。
It was the most magnificent and stately planet that he had ever seen.
“您的星球真美呀。上面有海洋吗？”他说。
"Your planet is very beautiful," he said. "Has it any oceans?"
“这我没法知道。”地理学家说。

"I couldn't tell you," said the geographer.
“啊！”小王子大失所望。“那么，山脉呢？”
"Ah!" The little prince was disappointed. "Has it any mountains?"
“这，我没法知道。”地理学家说。
"I couldn't tell you," said the geographer.
“那么，有城市、河流、沙漠吗？”
"And towns, and rivers, and deserts?"
这，我也没法知道。
I couldn't tell you that, either.
可您还是地理学家呢！
But you are a geographer!
“一点不错，”地理学家说，
"Exactly," the geographer said.
但是我不是探察家。我手下一个探察家都没有。
But I am not an explorer. I haven't a single explorer on my planet.
地理学家是不去计算城市、河流、山脉、海洋、沙漠的。
It is not the geographer who goes out to count the towns, the rivers, the mountains, the seas, the oceans, and the deserts.
地理学家很重要，不能到处跑。
The geographer is much too important to go loafing about.
他不能离开他的办公室。
He does not leave his desk
但他可以在办公室里接见探察家

Idioms and Phrases About Job Interviews

In this story, a deer named Macey plans a secret party with her sister. But what happens when two big cats try to stop her? This is Part 3 of 5.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Two huge, strong and dirty cats appear out of nowhere: one proud lion and one sneaky cheetah. They creep forward, saliva dripping from the sides of their mouths. 

The lion says, “Little deer, I don’t usually eat noodles, but I might have to today.” 

The cheetah laughs and laughs and laughs. She has never heard anything so funny in her entire life. 

Macey looks confused, but then notices she has noodles stuck on her horns. She feels embarrassed and angry at the same time. 

“If you must know, there were no chopsticks…” says Macey. 

The cheetah says, still laughing, “Did you get it, little dear? We don’t eat noodles; we’re carnivores… but you have noodles on your head and we’re going to eat you.” 

The lion frowns and looks at the cheetah. “Yes, thank you, Cheetah... That was my point…” 

Macey confidently steps forward and prepares to fight. She looks like a kung-fu master. She says, “I’m not scared of you. You will never eat me… or my noodles!” 

Macey then jumps high into the air and does a flying kick! 

Hiiiiiyyyaaaaaa! 

Macey kicks the lion right in his big face. Saliva explodes from his mouth. The lion hits the floor HARD. The cheetah is so scared that she crouches down and starts purring. The cheetah doesn’t want to get hurt. 

The lion is very weak. He gets up and tries to speak, but he’s in so much pain. He says, “ahh…I… my face… you’re so… powerful… Please don’t hurt me anymore…” 

Macey has fire in her eyes. She is tired of big cats trying to eat her. 

“You carnivores think you’re so strong,” says Macey, looking like she will crush them. “But you’re not! Now get out of here!” 

The two cats, not so big anymore, run away. 

With the setting sun behind her, Macey is standing strong, looking like a hero.

Schule in Deutschland 
Nach den Sommerferien beginnt in den unterschiedlichen deutschen Bundesländern die Schule zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten. Im Bundesland Sachsen ist der Ferienanfang früh im August, in Bayern erst Mitte September. Der Hauptgrund ist, dass man die deutschen Straßen nicht durch den Urlaubsverkehr überlasten möchte. Im deutschen Bildungssystem gibt es natürlich noch andere Unterschiede: Zum Beispiel hat jedes Bundesland eigene Abiturprüfungen, eigene Lehrpläne, eigene Schulbücher und so weiter. Allerdings beklagen sich Lehrer in jedem Bundesland über die gleichen Probleme: Die Klassen sind zu groß, es gibt immer mehr problematische Schüler und die digitale Ausstattung ist nicht gut. Und fast alle deutschen Schüler finden, die Schule ist nur ein notwendiges Übel.

古时候，有个叫张三的人，他费了好大的劲儿，才积攒下三百两银子，心里很高兴。但他总是怕别人把这些钱偷去，就找了一只箱子，把三百两银子钉在箱中，然后埋在屋后的地底下。

可是他还是不放心，怕别人到这儿来挖，于是就想了一个“巧妙”的办法。他拿出一张纸，写上七个大字:“此地无银三百两”,贴在墙角边,这才放心地走了。
 
谁知道他的举动，都被隔壁的王二看到了。半夜，趁张三熟睡，王二把三百两银子全偷走了。为了不让张三知道，他也在一张纸上写了七个大字:“隔壁王二不曾偷”，也贴在墙上。

张三第二天早上起来,到屋后去看银子，银子不见了，一见纸条，才恍然大悟。

“此地无银三百两”比喻想要用自认为是聪明的手法隐瞒真相，结果反而暴露得更明显。

In ancient times, there was a man named Zhang San. He spent a lot of effort to save 300 taels of silver. He was very happy. But he was always afraid that others would steal the money, so he found a box, nailed the money in the box, and buried it under the ground behind the house.
However, he was still worried that others would come here to dig, so he thought of a "clever" idea. He took out a piece of paper and wrote in seven big characters: "there is no silver here, three hundred taels". He stuck it on the corner of the wall, and then he left with confidence.
Well, what he did, was seen by Wang Er next door. At midnight, while Zhang San was asleep, Wang Er stole all three hundred taels of silver. In order not to let Zhang San know, he also wrote seven big characters on a piece of paper: "Wang Er next door never stole it", which was also pasted on the wall.
Zhang San got up the next morning and went to the back of the house to see the silver. The silver was gone. When he saw the note, he suddenly realized. 

This idiom is a metaphor for trying to hide the truth with a clever trick, but the result is more obvious, a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure.

おはようございます！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日も、アメリカの旅行について話します。
今回で、アメリカ旅行の話はラストです。

さてさて、ロサンゼルスからラスベガスへ移動して、楽しんだ翌日にグランドキャニオンへ行くプランにしていたので、めっちゃ楽しみにしていました。

グランドキャニオンをセスナ、小さい飛行機に乗って上から見る、というサービスを予約していたんですね。これは天候がとても重要で、前日まではどうなるかわかりませんでした。ロサンゼルスにいた時は天気は良かったんですけど、ラスベガスの時はあんまり天気が良くなかったんですね。それでどうなるか心配でした。

そして、夜が明けて、翌朝。
結局、天候は回復せず、グランドキャニオンへのツアーが中止になりました。風が強かったので、危険だったみたいですね。それで中止になりました。セスナがある場所まで車で移動したんですけど、結局、乗れなかったので、そのまままたラスベガスへとんぼ返りしました。で、何をしようか、となったんです。で、前回も少し話しましたが、いろんなホテルがあって、ホテルによっては、ホテルの前に大きな噴水や、火山のようなものがあって、そこが決まった時間にショーがあるんですね。それを見て回る人も多いんですね。それを見ようと思って、時間とか、ショーの開催とか確認すると、これも風が強いと中止になるみたいなんですね。それで、結局、ほとんど何もできなかった、という記憶があります。

たぶん、ないなりに何かしたとは思うんですけど、予定通り行かなかった、ということの方が記憶に大きく残っているんですね。

バスケットを見たり、ラスベガスのビッグショットという、めっちゃおもしろいアトラクションに乗ったりした最高の経験をした一方、1番楽しみにしていたグランドキャニオンには行けなかったという、残念な経験もあり、本当にいろんなことを感じた卒業旅行でした。

大学生ながらに、思い通りにいかないことがこれからもたくさんあることをこの旅行で実感したことを覚えています。もちろん、楽しい記憶もたくさんありますが、そんなふうにいろんな感情を持って帰った旅行でした。

はい、ということで、長くなりましたが、僕のアメリカ旅行の話は以上です。



20年以上前の旅行ですが、これだけ覚えていることに自分で驚きました。当時の自分には新鮮な出来事ばかりだったんだろうなと思います。

旅行はやっぱり良いですね！

ということで、今回のPodcastは以上です。
今までの旅行の話や、これから行きたい旅行の話など、ぜひオンラインレッスンで日本語で話してみませんか？

italkiでお待ちしていますね！

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
