Ep.56 日本人が秋にすること🍁☕️📚

Hari ini aku mau cerita sedikit tentang satu budaya di Indonesia, yaitu uang rokok. Mungkin kamu sudah pernah dengar ya? Uang rokok itu sebenarnya seperti tip kecil, tanda terima kasih untuk orang yang sudah membantu kita.
Misalnya, kalau ada tukang AC yang datang memperbaiki AC di rumah, kadang kita kasih sedikit uang tambahan. Nggak banyak, tapi cukup untuk bilang, “makasih ya, sudah bantu.” Dan lucunya, meskipun namanya “uang rokok”, bukan berarti harus dipakai untuk beli rokok.
Tapi ada hal menarik juga. Uang rokok ini bisa bikin suasana berubah. Contohnya, ada seorang kurir yang setiap bulan mengantar paket ke rumah yang sama. Suatu hari, pemilik rumah kasih dia uang rokok sebagai ucapan terima kasih karena selalu datang tepat waktu. Setelah itu, kurirnya jadi makin rajin senyum dan lebih semangat setiap kali datang. Tapi suatu hari, waktu pemilik rumah lupa kasih uang rokok, si kurir tetap sopan dan ramah sih, hanya saja auranya berubah sedikit, dari yang biasanya “100 watt” jadi “50 watt.” 😆
Jadi, memang uang rokok bisa memengaruhi suasana hati atau semangat kerja seseorang. Kadang pelayanan juga bisa terasa beda, tergantung besar atau kecilnya tip yang diterima.
Menurutku, uang rokok itu boleh banget jadi bentuk terima kasih. Tapi idealnya, orang harus tetap bekerja dengan baik karena itu adalah tanggung jawabnya, bukan karena mengharapkan tipnya.
Menurut kamu gimana? Kamu tim kasih uang rokok atau tim nggak kasih?

Terima kasih sudah mendengarkan, sampai jumpa di episode selanjutnya! 😊

INTRO - مقدّمة

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).
