うなぎ：eel

土用（どよう）："土用（どよう）" strictly refers to the 18 days before the first days of spring, summer, fall, and winter (on the lunar calendar). Today, however, "土用（どよう）" generally refers only to the 18 days before the first day of fall.

丑（うし）の日（ひ）：The day called "丑（うし）の日（ひ）", which is translated literally as the day of the Ox, can be seen in the calendar that follows the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. The twelve signs were introduced to Japan from ancient China. The twelve signs were allocated one by one to the days on the calendar. "丑（うし）の日（ひ）" is the day to which the second sign of the twelve signs is allocated. 

立春（りっしゅん）：the first day of spring
立夏（りっか）：the first day of summer
立秋（りっしゅう）：the first day of fall
立冬（りっとう）：the first day of winter

つまり：in other words

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今日の天気(てんき)は雨(あめ)です。

雨が降(ふ)っています。

北海道のさっぽろでは、雪(ゆき)がつもりましたよ。

ところで、みなさんは傘(かさ)をつかいますか？
雨のとき、傘をさしますか？

私はいつも、ちいさな、

"おりたたみ傘(がさ)"をもっています。

いつ雨が降ってもいいように、もっています。

そして、雨が降ったら、すぐに傘をさします。

実は、日本人が世界でいちばん、
傘をたくさんもっているそうです。

データでは、一人4.2本ぐらい、もっているようです。

私はふつうの傘と、おりたたみ傘、
2本もっています。

あ、そういえば車のトランクにもう1本ありました・・。3本ですね。

日本人はどうして、すぐに傘をさすのでしょうか。

私は風邪をひきたくないから、
傘をさします。

みなさんは、雨が降ったら、
傘をさしますか？

それとも、傘をささずに、
走りますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！
