大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第4期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“平衡”的话题。
大家应该都听说过 work-life balance吧？中文我们可以说“工作和生活的平衡”。我们每个人的时间都是有限的，每天只有24小时。我们需要睡觉、吃饭、工作、照顾家人、联系朋友，还有自己的兴趣爱好等等。
如果工作很忙，需要经常加班，那我们留给其他事情的时间就变少了。你会怎么选择呢？我觉得不论选择工作还是选择生活，最重要的是你明白自己想要的是什么。
有的人每天花很多时间在工作上，很忙很累，但是他很享受，因为他喜欢他的工作。有的人每天朝九晚五，也就是早上9点上班，下午5点下班。每天都是很固定的上下班时间，一点儿也不忙。但是他们过得很不开心，即使下班后有很多自己的时间，他们也只是玩一晚上手机。
在人生的不同阶段，我们追求的东西会不一样。年轻的时候，我们有很多个人的时间，可以去尝试很多的事情，了解自己喜欢什么。到了中年，我们有了家庭，有了责任，这个时候需要有更多的时间留给家人。不论是什么时候，都要热爱自己做的事情。只有热爱，才会让你对生活充满激情。平衡不是我们的目的，幸福快乐才是。
你是如何保持工作和生活的平衡呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの16回目です。大阪は今週からだんだん暖かくなっています。来週の予報は、最高気温が10度を超えています。私の実家は東京ですが、大阪は東京に比べると天気がいいです。晴れている日が多いです。寒いと電気代が高くなるので、早く春になってほしいですね。

Hi, This is the podcast episode 16. It has been getting warmer and warmer in Osaka this week. The forecast for next week is for a high of over 10 degrees Celsius. I’m from Tokyo, and the weather in Osaka is much nicer than in Tokyo. It is sunny most days. I hope spring will come soon because the cold weather will make our electricity bill higher.

もうすぐ春なので、最近は引越しをする人が多いです。日本では、3月から4月は学校や会社が始まるシーズンで、学生や新社会人が一人暮らしを始めるからです。私も授業で、生徒さんとよく引越しの話をします。国によって引越しのシステムやプロセスが違うので面白いですね。

It's almost spring, so many people are moving out these days. In Japan, March-April is the season for schools and companies to start, and it's because students and those who just graduated school and became working adults start living alone. In my classes, I often talk about moving with my students. It's interesting because the system and process of moving differs from country to country.

日本で家を借りるときは、ほとんどの場合、不動産業者と契約をします。まず不動産業者のウェブサイトを見て、希望に合う部屋を探します。広さや、駅からの距離や、築年数が書かれています。「築年数」とは、建物の古さのことです。建てられてから１年経ったアパートは、「築１年」といいます。日本では新しいアパートのほうが人気があるので、新しいアパートのほうが値段が高いです。建てられて１年未満で、まだ誰も住んでいない家を「新築」といいます。

When you rent a house in Japan, you almost always sign a contract with a real estate agent. The first thing to do is to look at the real estate agent's website and find a room that fits your needs. You will find the size of the room, the distance from the station, and the age of the building. “Chikunensuu” (the age of the building) refers to how old the building is. An apartment built one year ago is said to be “Chiku 1nen” (1 year old building). In Japan, newer apartments are more popular, so newer apartments are more expensive. A house that has been built for less than a year and no one is living in it yet is called “Shinchiku” (newly built).
