この前UNIQLOにいって、「ダブルフェイスシャツジャケット」を買ったの。あれすごいかるいし、かわいいし、かたちもいいしほんとおすすめだよ。 なんか、デザイナーのジルサンダーとUNIQLOがコラボレーションして「+J」っていうの作ったらしんだけど、その中のひとつが「ダブルフェイスシャツジャケット」なんだよね。 

I went to UNIQLO the other day and bought a "Double-Faced Shirt Jacket". It's very light, cute, and has a nice shape. The designer Jil Sander and UNIQLO have collaborated to create a brand called "+J". One of the items is the "Double Face Shirt Jacket.

私、全然知らなかったんだけど、10年以上前にジルサンダーとUNIQLOコラボしていたらしいの。 で、2020年秋にまたコラボレーションが突然復活したみたいなんだけど、服のうばい合いがエグくてびっくりしちゃった！ 2020年ってもうコロナがはやってたのにー、店の中に人がたくさんいる写真がSNSにアップされたり、ニュースになったりしたんだよね。でもたぶん、今回の2021年冬のコレクションがジル・サンダーとの最後のコラボレーションらしいよ。 

 I heard that Jil Sander and UNIQLO collaborated over 10 years ago, but I didn't know about it. The collaboration was suddenly revived again in the fall of 2020, but it was a battle. Even though the corona was not over, pictures of many people in the store were posted on social media and made the news. The Winter 2021 collection was probably the last collaboration between Jil Sander and UNIQLO.

私が買ったジャケットなんだけど、これは2021年冬のコレクションのもので、まだお店にのこってたんだよね。で、もともと14900円だったのがセールしてて、12900円からの7990円からの5990円からの4990円になってて、だから、10,000円引きで買うことができたのー！めっちゃ安くない！？

The jacket I bought this time was from the Winter 2021 collection, and it was still in the store. The price was 14,900 yen → 12,900 yen → 7,990 yen → 5,990 yen → 4,990 yen! I was able to buy it with a discount of 10,000 yen. Isn't it so cheap?!

海外のUNIQLOはちょっとわかんないんだけど、日本のUNIQLOって、全部じゃないけど金土日は結構安くなるからほんと、おすすめ！もし、日本に来た時にUNIQLOに行くんだったら、絶対金土日に行ったほうがいいよ！ 

I don't know about other countries, but in Japan, UNIQLO offers discounted prices on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for some items, but not all. If you are going to go to UNIQLO when you come to Japan, it is better to go on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

#8 Магия кофе

MARK: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the library is?
NANCY: Yes, it’s that way. You go three blocks to Washington Street, 
then turn right. It’s on the corner, across from the bank.
MARK: Thanks! I’ve only been in town a few days, so I really don’t 
know my way around yet.
NANCY: Oh, I know how you feel. We moved here a year ago, and 
I still don’t know where everything is!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Could you tell me … is slightly more polite than “Can you tell me …?”
• Could you tell me where the library is? Notice that “library” is stressed here because 
it is the word with the important information. This is an indirect question, so the subject 
(the library) comes before the verb (is). The word order is reversed in a direct question 
(Where is the library?).
• Yes, it’s that way. Notice the stress on “that.” The speaker is pointing in a certain 
direction and wants to emphasize that direction.
• I know how you feel is a way of saying “I understand.” Notice the emphasis on “feel.” 
The speaker wants to show empathy and understanding.
• I still don’t know where everything is! Notice the word order of where “everything 
is.” The subject (everything) comes before the verb (is). This word order is different from 
the direct question (Where is everything?)

呼风唤雨镇水灾
       龙是传说中的神异动物，早在几千年前，中国大地上就出现了“龙”的形象——鹿角、鱼鳞、鹰爪、虎掌......龙具有多种动物的特征。
       在神话传说中，龙能呼风唤雨，各个海域都有龙王, 统领一方水族。以前很多地方都建有龙王庙, 遇到大旱天气，民间还会举行舞龙祈雨活动。所以,很多桥上都会雕龙，寄托了人们希望桥梁拱稳固，水灾消失的美好愿望。
真龙天子我最大
       在人们的想象中，龙善于变化，拥有强大的力量，几乎不可战胜。随着龙的不断神化，人们把龙和与皇权联系了起来。帝王的身体称为“龙体”，帝王登基称为“龙袍加身”，帝王自命“真龙天子”。在故宫里，龙的形象无处不在，光太和殿里就有 1 万多条龙，有“万龙朝圣”之意。
节日氛围组担当
      每逢新春佳节或元宵节，我国不少地方会举行舞龙活动。农历二月二龙抬头，有的地方还会举行祭龙活动。南方一些地区在端午节还喜欢赛龙舟，热闹非凡。
      我们中国人自称龙的传人，还将奋斗不止、自强不息的民族精神称为龙马精神呢！
      水不在深，有龙则灵。——刘禹锡《陋室铭》    大意：水不在于深，有了龙就会有灵气。
