Mientras investigaba sobre este asunto tan apasionante, iba pensando en los correos que tenía pendientes, los artículos que hay para leer sobre el tema para abarcar lo mayor posible, los libros en fila para esta semana enfocados en los clubes de lectura que coordino y las clases que debía preparar para la semana, y si queda tiempo, descansar un poquito. La necesidad de NO HACER NADA es real, siento que soy un vivo ejemplo, este tema va a estar muy interesante. Comencemos.

Hawaii's regular sunshine, short rain showers and clean air come together to create some of the planet's best conditions for viewing rainbows. Rainbows are seen so often here that a University of Hawaii professor calls the state the "rainbow capital of the world."

"Hawaii has maybe the best rainbows on the planet," said Steven Businger, professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

He has even created an app called RainbowChase to help people find rainbows in Hawaii.

Rainbows form when drops of rain refract sunlight into a spectrum of colors. The brighter the sun, the clearer the rainbow.

Hawaii's winds bring many small showers with enough blue sky between them for the sun to shine through. Conditions are best during the rainy season from October through April.

Visitors should look for rainbows when it's both sunny and raining at the same time. Rainbows will appear opposite the sun. They will seem larger and higher in the sky in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is lower on the horizon.

Rainbows are popular symbols of island life. Pictures of them can be seen on buildings and buses, and even on vehicle license plates.

"They cause us to stand still and for a moment, forget about the past and the future," Businger said.

There are about 20 names for rainbows in the Hawaiian language, including different words for different types of rainbows.

Sam 'Ohu Gon III, senior scientist and cultural adviser at The Nature Conservancy in Hawaii, said rainbows are considered a symbol of Kāne, one of the four main gods in Hawaiian tradition. The closer you get to a rainbow, the more likely you are to meet a supernatural force or a powerful person, he said.

A rainbow is also believed to show that an aumakua — a deified family member or family god — is nearby.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の9回目です。もうすぐ桜の季節なので、日本に旅行を計画している生徒さんが多いです。去年も一昨年もコロナウイルスで、たくさんの有名な観光地が、お花見のために集まることを禁止していました。なので、今年のお花見は混雑するかもしれません。私の近所の公園にも桜が咲いています。これについては、去年の４月に録音したシーズン１の20回目でお話ししました。よかったら聞いてみてください。

Hello, This is episode 9 of season 2 of my podcast.  It will soon be cherry blossom season and many students are planning a trip to Japan. Last year and the year before, due to the coronavirus, many famous tourist attractions banned people from getting together for cherry blossom viewing. So this year’s cherry blossom viewing may be crowded. Cherry blossoms are also blooming in my neighbourhood park. I talked about this in the 20th episode of season 1, recorded last April. If you have time, please take a listen.

先週私は体調を崩しました。木曜日から目眩と動悸がして、週末にはもっとひどくなりました。日曜日の最初のレッスンが終わった後、すぐに病院に行くことにしました。私がいつも行っている歯医者の近くに、日曜日でも開いている内科の病院がありました。そこでCTI検査をして、原因を調べました。CTI検査では、体の中の写真を撮ります。検査では、胃が３倍ぐらいの大きさに膨らんで、他の内臓を圧迫していることが分かりました。お医者さんは「十二指腸の動きが弱くなっている」と説明してくれました。

Last week I fell ill. I started feeling dizzy and having palpitations on Thursday and it got worse over the weekend. I decided to go to the hospital immediately after my first lesson on Sunday. Near my regular dentist there was a medical hospital that was open on Sundays. There I had a CTI test to find out what was causing the problem; in a CTI test, pictures are taken of the inside of your body. The examination showed that my stomach had swelled to about three times its size and was pressing on my other internal organs. The doctor explained that the duodenum (the part that connects the stomach to the intestines) was weakening.

病院でもらった薬を飲んだら、症状は治りました。月曜日にもう一度検査をして、そのあと本屋に行って、社会学の本を３冊買いました。最近、Shrinkflationという英語の単語を知りました。日本語では同じ現象を「ステルス値下げ」と呼びます。「ステルス」は戦闘機の名前から取っています。「ステルス値下げ」は、消費者に気づかれないように原価を下げることです。たとえば、パッケージの大きさは変えずに、中のお菓子のサイズだけを小さくして、今までと同じ値段で売ります。
