Exploring Arbor Low Stone Circle: Drones Meet Ancient History in the UK

第五颗行星非常奇怪，
The fifth planet was very strange.
是这些星星中最小的一颗。
It was the smallest of all.
行星上刚好能容得下一盏路灯和一个点路灯的人。
There was just enough room on it for a street lamp and a lamplighter.
小王子怎么也解释不通,要一盏路灯和一个点灯的人做什么用,
The little prince was not able to reach any explanation of the use of a street lamp and a lamplighter,
这个坐落在天空某一角落，既没有房屋又没有居民的行星上。
somewhere in the heavens, on a planet which had no people, and not one house.
但他自己猜想，可能这个人思想不正常。
But he said to himself, nevertheless, It may well be that this man is absurd.
但他比起国王，比起那个爱虚荣的人，那个实业家和酒鬼，却要好些。
But he is not so absurd as the king,the conceited man, the businessman, and the tippler.
至少他的工作还有点意义。
For at least his work has some meaning.
当他点着了他的路灯时，就象他增添了一颗星星，或是一朵花。
When he lights his street lamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
当他熄灭了路灯时，就象让星星或花朵睡着了似的。
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
这差事真美妙，就是真正有用的了。

That is a beautiful occupation. And since it is beautiful, it is truly useful.
小王子一到了这个行星上，就很尊敬地向点路灯的人打招呼.
When he arrived on the planet he respectfully saluted the lamplighter.
早上好。你刚才为什么把路灯灭了呢？
Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp?
“早上好。这是命令。”点灯的回答道。
"Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter. "Good morning."
命令是什么？
What are the orders?
就是熄掉我的路灯。晚上好。
The orders are that I put out my lamp. Good evening.
于是他又点燃了路灯。
And he lighted his lamp again.
那么为什么你又把它点着了呢？
But why have you just lighted it again?
“这是命令。”点灯的人回答道。
"Those are the orders," replied the lamp lighter.
“我不明白。”小王子说。
"I do not understand," said the little prince.
“没什么要明白的。命令就是命令。”点灯的回答说。“早上好。”
"There is nothing to understand," said the lamplighter."Orders are orders. Good morning."
于是他又熄灭了路灯。
And he put out his lamp.

小王子第33章：命令就是命令

안녕하세요, 여러분! 유정쌤이에요. 오늘도 한국어 듣기 연습에 오신 걸 환영합니다. 
오늘은 겨울을 대표하는 단어, "눈"과 한자어 "설(雪)"에 대해 이야기해볼게요. 두 단어의 차이와 함께 다양한 표현도 살펴볼게요.

[눈과 설의 차이]

"눈"은 우리가 아는 하얗고 부드러운 겨울에 나타나는 기상현상을 뜻하고, "설"은 눈의 한자어 표현이에요. 그래서 뉴스나 공식적인 문장에서는 "대설주의보"나 "설경" 같은 단어를 자주 사용해요.

예를 들면:
"이렇게 예쁜 설경 속에서 널 만난 것도 인연이야."
여기서 "설경"은 눈으로 덮인 아름다운 경치를 뜻하죠.

[눈과 설을 활용한 표현들]

눈과 관련된 표현 몇 가지를 소개할게요:
첫눈: 처음 내리는 눈이에요. 여러분 모두 지난 주 첫눈 오던 날 뭘 하셨나요?
눈꽃: 나뭇가지나 창문에 맺힌 얼음 결정처럼, 눈의 아름다움을 표현한 단어예요.

한자어 "설"도 다양하게 활용돼요:
설국(雪國): 눈으로 덮인 세상을 뜻해요. 소설 설국이나 영화 설국열차의 제목에서도 보이죠.
설중매(雪中梅): "눈 속의 매화"라는 뜻으로, 추운 겨울에도 피어나는 강인함과 아름다움을 표현해요.

한국 문화에서는 특히 "첫눈"과 관련된 미신이 재밌는데요. 첫눈이 오는 날 사랑하는 사람과 함께 있으면 사랑이 이루어진다고들 합니다. 여러분도 한국에 오시면 첫눈의 로맨틱한 의미를 꼭 느껴보세요!

[발음]

"설"이라는 발음은 다양한 뜻으로 쓰여요.
예를 들어:
설(說): 이야기나 설명.
설(舌): 혀.
설(設): 설치하거나 세우는 것을 의미합니다.
문맥에 따라 뜻이 달라지니 주의하세요!


오늘은 "눈"과 "설"의 차이, 그리고 이와 관련된 표현들을 살펴봤어요. 한국어는 단어 하나에 여러 문화적 의미와 감정을 담고 있는 게 참 매력적이죠. 여러분도 다음에 눈이 내리는 풍경을 보며 "설경이 정말 아름답다"라고 말해보세요.

오늘도 들어주셔서 감사합니다! 그럼 다음 시간에 만나요. 안녕히 계세요!

北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#96〉7月27日水曜日　鳥のヒナが41羽

Every culture has its own unique tendencies when it comes to pronouncing certain sounds in other languages. For example, where I was born, many people find it tricky to pronounce sounds like 'f' and 'p.' Even simple English words like 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 can feel like torture.

For this episode, I’d like to focus on my Japanese friends. I know there are certain English sounds that can require extra effort to pronounce. My hope is that today’s episode will give you some helpful insights and tips to make those tricky sounds easier to master.

𝟭.	𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 >< 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗚
🪄 His heart sank when he heard her sing.
🪄 He thanked her for the song she had sung.

𝟮.	𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞 >< 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗞
🪄 Watch out, boy! I think your toy will sink in the water.
🪄 When the ship was sinking, he began thinking, "Is this my last day on earth?"

𝟯.	𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 >< 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘
🪄 How dare you enter my room when I'm not there!
🪄 It's very dark over there. Do you dare to go there?

𝟰.	𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 >< 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬
🪄 These blueberries are very sweet.
🪄 Actually, I like all kinds of berries very much.

𝟱.	𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 >< 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧
🪄 When it's right, the light turns green. When it's wrong, the light turns red.
🪄 Do you know what led the light on the right to turn red?

Don’t let tricky sounds stop you—practice makes progress! Book an English class with me and start improving today.✨
