How are you doing?

Yötön yö ja juhannus! Tässä jaksossa puhun juhannuksesta ja mitä perinteistä ja uutta tekemistä  on kaupungissa. Perinteisesti juhannus on täynnä niin vanhoja kuin uusiakin juhannusperinteitä., sillä juhannusta voi viettää vaikka tanssien tai uiden maauimalassa! 
Juhannus on valon ja keskikesän juhla, johon kuuluu myös taiat, juhannussauna ja kokko. Hyvää juhannusta!!

Suomea for you

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン３の３回目です。やっと新しいパソコンが届きました。上海の工場からだったので、注文してから届くまで２週間かかりました。 新しいパソコンは動作がとても早くて便利です。一度にたくさんのアプリケーションを開くことができます。レッスンがやりやすくなりました。

Hello. This is episode 3 of season 3 of my podcast. I finally got a new computer. It was from a factory in Shanghai, so it took two weeks from the time I ordered it until it arrived. The new computer is very fast and convenient. I can open many applications at once. It makes it easier for me to do my lessons.

新しいパソコンが届く前に、ワイヤレスイヤホンを買いました。新しいパソコンを買った時にもらったギフトカードを使ったので、払ったのは800円だけでした。私は今まで有線のイヤホンを使っていました。有線とは、コードがあることです。今までは有線のイヤホンのほうが便利だと思っていました。充電も接続も必要ないからです。だけどワイヤレスイヤホンを使ってみると、コードが邪魔だったことに気づきました。とくに運動をするときは、ワイヤレスの方が集中できます。

I bought wireless earbuds before my new computer arrived. I used a gift card I got when I bought my new computer, so all I paid was 800 yen. I had been using yuusen earphones. Yuusen means “with a cord”. I used to think that earphones with a cord were more convenient. Because I don't need to charge or connect them. But when I started using wireless earphones, I realized that the cords were in the way. Especially when I exercise, I can concentrate better with wireless earphones.

新しいイヤホンはカナル型です。カナル型は、イヤーピースがついたイヤホンです。中学生の時はカナル型を使っていましたが、最近はずっとインナーイヤー型を使っていました。インナーイヤー型は、イヤーピースのないイヤホンです。プラスチックの部分を直接耳に入れるイヤホンです。カナル型のイヤホンは周りの音が聞こえにくいので、外で使うのは危ないと思っていました。だけど実際に使ってみると、インナーイヤー型とあまり変わりません。そして、音質がとてもいいです。

엄마, 이거 뭐예요?
妈妈, 这是什么? 

10년 전 엄마가 쓴 다이어리야. 안에 사진도 있어.
是10年前妈妈写的日记呀。里面还有照片呢。 

와. 엄마  옛날에는 주름이 하나도 없네요. 엄마 너무 젊어요.
哇。妈妈以前一点皱纹都没有啊。妈妈太年轻了。 

그때 엄마가 28살 때니까 훨씬 젊고 예쁘지?
那时候妈妈才28岁, 是不是更年轻更漂亮?
