はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの26回目です。すっかり暑くなりました。最近は雨の日が多いですが、気温は高く、毎日Tシャツを着ています。今年も大阪は、いきなり暑くなったので、春はあまり感じられませんでした。記事の下書きもようやく終わりました。昨日は知り合いに誘われたので、二時間だけクラブに行きました。ああいう場所は招待で入ると無料なのでいいですね。知り合いの人はDJをやっています。

Hello. This is episode 26 of my podcast. It is nearly summer and it is hot everyday. It's been raining a lot lately, but the temperature is high and I wear a T-shirt everyday. This year, the temperature in Osaka increased suddenly, so I didn't feel like there was a spring. I have finally finished drafting my article. Yesterday I went to a club for two hours because someone I met online invited me. Places like that are nice because it's free if you enter by invitation. That person is a DJ.

あと、昨日は歯医者に行きました。ようやく、矯正している歯が動いてきました。7月ぐらいには終わるだろうと言われました。矯正は、ブラケットをつけるだけで終わると思っていましたが、実際は、何回も歯医者に行かなければいけません。歯医者に行って、ワイヤーを取り替えたり、歯を削ったりします。

Also, I went to the dentist yesterday. Finally, the teeth I'm having straightened have started to become straighter, and the dentist told me it should be done by about July. I thought the braces would be done just by putting the brackets on, but in fact I have to go to the dentist several times. I have to go to the dentist to get the wires changed, and to have my teeth ground.

日本の歯医者はほとんど民営です。「民営」とは、国ではなく、個人がしているビジネスのことです。国がしているビジネスは「国営」といいます。たとえば、日本の郵便局は国営でしたが、2007年に民営になりました。歯医者は民営ですが、国の保険が使えます。日本には国民保険があり、治療費は3割しか払わなくていいです。70歳以上は2割、75歳以上は1割です。無料ではありませんが、安いです。でも、矯正は保険が使えません。

 In questa quinta puntata, ci immergiamo nelle vicende di due figure emblematiche: il boss Vito Genovese e Lucky Luciano. Ambientata nel contesto della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'episodio svela come il tacito consenso del governo americano abbia favorito il ruolo strategico di questi personaggi nella risoluzione del conflitto in Italia.
Durante il racconto, analizzeremo nuove parole e termini legati al mondo della mafia, del contrabbando e della borsa nera, mettendo in luce il legame profondo tra storia e linguaggio. Verranno esplorati anche i riferimenti cinematografici, con un focus su film come Napoli milionaria, Ieri, oggi, domani e il film di Francesco Rosi su Lucky Luciano, che hanno saputo catturare e raccontare quell'epoca complessa. Un viaggio tra storia, potere e cultura, per comprendere come il denaro, il crimine organizzato e le strategie politiche abbiano lasciato un segno indelebile nel destino dell'Italia.
