Investec（天达银行）首席经济学家Philip Shaw：料英国央行可能会在2023年2月的下一次会议上，将加息步伐放缓至25个基点，因为预计由于抵押贷款利率上升，英国消费者支出将下降。我们怀疑，消费者支出将在明年继续受到打击，特别是随着固定期限的结束，400万家庭被迫以更高的利率为抵押贷款再融资。我们预计银行利率将上升25个基点至3.75%，然后在3月份升至4.0%

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天我们来聊一聊【疫情】的话题。
中国的疫情是2019年底开始的。我记得那一年的春节，我回了老家。每天在电视上看到武汉疫情的报道，觉得很难过。假期结束后要回广州上班，一路上戴着口罩，有点害怕。每天进公司和进小区都要测体温。外卖只能送到小区门口，自己去拿，也不可以在饭店里吃饭。
疫情不太严重的时候，我们的生活正常一点，但是去外面也要戴口罩。有一段时间国内没有疫情，国内旅游也正常了。但是因为有国外回来的人，很难一直都是正常的。如果一个地方出现新的疫情，很多人都要去做核酸。严重的时候，这个地方所有的人都要去做核酸。
时间过得很快，疫情已经两年多了。虽然我们已经习惯了戴口罩的生活，但是它真的改变了我们的生活。
最大的改变是很多东西都发展为线上了。特别是疫情严重的时候，大家只能在家里。于是上班族开始在家办公，学生开始上网课。因为不能去健身房，很多人买了健身的东西，在家里健身。因为不能出去吃饭，很多人都是用手机叫外卖，或者开始学习做饭。因为不能像以前一样出去旅游，这几年野餐和露营的人越来越多。野餐和露营不需要去很远的地方，买一些食物，就可以和家人朋友一起去玩了。
疫情对经济的影响是最大的。商店的生意变得很差，因为只要有疫情影响，他们很可能就得关门。换工作的人比以前少了，因为经济不好，工作不好找。更多的大学毕业生选择了考研和考公务员，因为更稳定。
你们国家的疫情怎么样呢？疫情改变了你的生活吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

こんにちは！
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N2をやります！
〜ようとしている、をやります。
これは、もうすぐ〜する、と言うことを言いたい時に使います。


さっそく、例文、いきましょう！
 
・今、日本の試合が始まろうとしている

・新しい時代がはじまろうとしている。

・私の会社員生活も終わろうとしています。

・レフリーは笛を加え、終わりをつげようとしてる。


こんな感じですね！

〜ようとしている、はじまるとか終わるに使うことが多いですね。
自分で使うよりは、ニュースなどで聞くことが多いと思います。

いつもの通り、声に出して練習したり、自分で例文作ったりして練習してくださいね！


今回も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！
