Teacher Robert's Podcast

What's the difference between "lose" and "loose"? (with transcript)

みなさん、こんにちは。お元気ですか。今日も夏空（なつぞら）でいっぱいの東京です。もう暑（あつ）すぎて、ふつうに日常生活（にちじょうせいかつ）を送ることが大変な状況です。
朝と夕方には、蝉（せみ）の鳴き声（なきごえ）も聞こえてきます。
蝉は日本の夏の風物詩（ふうぶつし）です。蝉は、35度以上を超えると鳴かなくなります。なので、昼間は蝉の声が聞こえません。私が子どものころは、昼間も鳴いていたのですが、地球の気温が上がってしまったんですね。残念です。

ところで、みなさん、日本の野菜や果物が美味しいことをご存じですか。
今日、私が皆（みな）さんに紹介（しょうかい）したいのは、日本のトマトです。日本のトマトは、本当に美味（おい）しいです。ぜひ日本にいる皆さんは食べてくださいね。海外にいるみなさんは、日本に来た時に必（かなら）ず食べてください。
トマトは夏野菜です。一年中を通してトマトを食べることができますが、夏のトマトは格別（かくべつ）に美味しいです。
日本には約120種のトマトが栽培（さいばい）されていると言われています。日々、品種改良されたことによって、つぎつぎと新しい品種が生まれたのです。より甘く、よりおいしく、より食べやすくするために、研究されているんです。日本人は、野菜を生（なま）でたくさん食べます。私も生野菜が大好きです。今日食べたトマトは福島産でした。近くのショッピングモールで、福島応援フェアーがやっていたので、トマトと桃を買いました。美味しかった！！！　
絶品でした！！！
福島の農家さん、ごちそうさまでした。

夏のトマトは最高！

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘은 한국의 인기 넷플릭스 프로그램, [Culinary Class Wars-흑백요리사]라는 프로그램에 등장하는 재미있는 캐릭터와 한국의 급식 문화에 대해서 이야기해 보려고 해요.

먼저 이 프로그램의 캐릭터 중 하나인 급식대가 (Geupsik Daega)를 소개할게요. 
급식대가는 '급식'과 '대가'라는 단어의 합성어로, 영어로는 [Master of School Meals]라는 의미로 번역되죠. 말 그대로 학교 급식을 책임지는 대가, 최고 전문가라는 뜻이에요.

여기서 급식이라는 단어는 그냥 school lunch, 그러니까 학교에서 제공되는 급식을 뜻하는데요. 
재미있게도, 한국에서는 급식을 먹는 초등학생이나 중,고등학생들을 그냥 ‘급식’이라고 부르기도 해요. 

한국에서는 급식 외에도 학생들의 학교 생활이나 직장인 생활을 재미있게 표현하는 단어들이 있어요. 예를 들어서요:

✅초딩은 초등학생을 뜻하지만, 어른이 어린아이처럼 행동할 때 가볍게 “초딩 같다”라고 놀릴 때도 쓰여요. 그래서 조금 미숙하거나 성숙하지 못한 사람을 얕잡아 볼 때 사용되기도 해요.
"아, 진짜 유치해. 너 초딩이냐?" 
이렇게요.

✅[중딩]은 중학생
✅[고딩]은 고등학생을 뜻해요. 그리고 
✅[대딩]은 대학생을, 
✅[직딩]은 직장인을 뜻하죠.
✅[학식]이라는 단어는 college cafeteria food를 의미해요. 대학생들이 먹는 학식을 의미하기도 하고, 학식을 주로 먹는 대학생들을 지칭하는 표현으로도 쓰여요.

어때요, 이런 표현들 재미있지 않나요? 한국의 급식부터 직장인의 직딩까지 다양한 표현들이 한국의 일상 속에서 쓰이고 있어요. 
다음에 한국 드라마나 영화에서 이런 단어들을 들으면 꼭 기억해 보세요!

여러분의 생각도 궁금해요. 다른 재미있는 한국어 표현이나 궁금한 점이 있으면 언제든 댓글 남겨 주세요. 그럼 다음 에피소드에서 또 만나요!

Letter T

オランダにあるFairphoneという会社はユーザーが自分で修理できるスマホを開発しています。今まではスマホが壊れたら買い換える人が多かったと思います。しかし、自分で壊れたところだけを取り替えることができるようになると、資源の無駄を最低限にすることができます。さらにこの会社のスマホは構造が簡単なので、特別な知識がなくても自分で壊れたパーツを取り替えることができます。
ちなみに最近、アップルも電子機器を修理する知識のあるユーザー向けに交換用のパーツの販売をアメリカで開始すると発表しました。
私はスマホだけでなく他の電子機器も自分で修理できるようになればいいと思います。
みなさんは自分でスマホを修理したいですか？
自分で修理できたらいいのになと思うものはありますか？

開発（かいはつ）する：かいはつする　develop

This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”
