Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#34 Short story / こうもりの ともだち？《Who is the bat's friend?》/ Aesop's Fables  // N5 Level / Japanese listening

JIM: Who’s the tall woman next to Barbara?
CHARLES: That’s her friend Mary. Didn’t you meet her at 
Steve’s party?
JIM: No, I wasn’t at Steve’s party.
CHARLES: Oh! Then let me introduce you to her now. Mary, this is
my friend Jim.
MARY: Hi, Jim. Nice to meet you.
JIM: You, too. Would you like a drink?
MARY: Sure, let’s go get one.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Who’s” is the contracted form of who is. It is pronounced the same way as “whose” (/
huwz/), but the meaning is different.
• Didn’t you meet her …? Notice that this is a negative question. Charles thought that Jim 
had met Mary before. He is now surprised that Jim does not know Mary, and so he uses a 
negative question to show his surprise.
• I wasn’t at Steve’s party. Notice that the emphasis here is on “at” although prepositions 
normally have weak stress. In this case, “at” means “there” (I wasn’t there).
• Mary, this is my friend Jim. This is a friendly way to introduce two people. It’s 
common to follow this with “Jim, this is Mary.” In this case, Mary says “Hi, Jim” first.
• Nice to meet you. This is a typical response after you’ve been introduced to someone.
• “Sure” is often used in informal conversation to mean “yes.”

Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht
Jedes deutsche Kind kennt das BRETTSPIEL ‚Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht‘. Und tatsächlich ist das ein guter Rat: Ein Mensch sollte sich nicht ärgern, wenn seine Spielfigur kurz vor dem Ziel von einem anderen Spieler vom Spielbrett geworfen wird. Man kann nicht strategisch spielen, der ERFOLG hängt nur vom Glück ab. Jeder der maximal vier Spieler versucht, mit dem WÜRFEL auf möglichst hohe Punktzahlen zu kommen. Entsprechend dieser Punkte bewegt man seine vier Spielfiguren rund um das Spielbrett und dann in das eigene ‚Haus‘, das heißt in das ZIEL. Wer zuerst ein volles Haus hat, ist der Sieger.
Besonders SPANNEND und lustig wird es, wenn ein ERFOLGREICHER Spieler kurz vor dem Ziel wieder von vorn beginnen muss. Wenn man es dann schafft, SICH nicht zu ÄRGERN, gibt es viel Spaß bei allen, die dabei sind. 
Und Spaß scheint es zu machen, denn das Spiel existiert schon seit 1914 und sollte sogar den Soldaten im Ersten Weltkrieg die ZEIT VERTREIBEN. Es wurde inzwischen 70 Millionen mal verkauft, es hat NACHAHMER im Ausland gefunden und es gibt auch eine TURNIER-Szene. Seit 2010 kann man sogar WELTMEISTER im ‚Sich Nicht Ärgern’ werden.

University Students Interested in Stress-Reducing Cats
While a number of universities offer students opportunities to play with dogs as a way to reduce stress, little is known about whether cats could help in the same way.

So researchers from the US and Belgium surveyed more than 1,400 students and staff from 19 Belgian universities to see how interested they would be in on-campus cat visiting programs.

Participants were asked seven questions about a possible cat program, including whether they would like to have a cat on campus, if they would find it relaxing, whether they would visit the cat, and whether they would recommend a cat program to other universities. They gave each idea a score out of five.

The average total score was 3.8 in favor of a campus cat.

The researchers found that the people with the most positive feelings about a cat program were women, cat owners, people who were more emotional, and — perhaps surprisingly — people who were interested in dog programs.

The study authors said that previous research has shown that emotional people are more likely to have strong relationships with animals.

However, dog owners, as well as people who were afraid of or allergic to cats, were found to be less interested in a cat program. Some also worried that having a cat on campus would be risky.

According to the researchers, the aim of the study was to find more ways to help people feel less stressed.

They believe cats can help, since including both cats and dogs in these stress-reducing programs could encourage more people to take part, and cats would need less training than dogs to help.
