Lesson 2 word 12 ( Wager ) 

兵庫県（ひょうごけん）は大阪のとなりにあります。世界遺産（せかいいさん world heritage）の国宝（こくほう）、姫路城（ひめじじょう）が有名（ゆうめい）です。実は、私は姫路の出身（しゅっしん）なんです。なつかしいふるさとの思い出を話していますが、他に有名なところは出てきません！神戸（こうべ）や淡路島（あわじしま）、北の方には城崎温泉（きのさきおんせん）とか、いろいろあるのにね。食べ物にしても、神戸ビーフとか、カニとかあるのに、丹波（たんば）の黒豆（くろまめ）の話しかしてません。これはね、ハルカちゃんに、「兵庫県の真ん中へんって何があるの？」て聞いたせいです。何でも知ってるよ、ハルカちゃんは。それに、ちょっと…先生みたいです…

第３話　兵庫のお城と真ん中パワースポット

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今日の天気(てんき)は雨(あめ)です。

雨が降(ふ)っています。

北海道のさっぽろでは、雪(ゆき)がつもりましたよ。

ところで、みなさんは傘(かさ)をつかいますか？
雨のとき、傘をさしますか？

私はいつも、ちいさな、

"おりたたみ傘(がさ)"をもっています。

いつ雨が降ってもいいように、もっています。

そして、雨が降ったら、すぐに傘をさします。

実は、日本人が世界でいちばん、
傘をたくさんもっているそうです。

データでは、一人4.2本ぐらい、もっているようです。

私はふつうの傘と、おりたたみ傘、
2本もっています。

あ、そういえば車のトランクにもう1本ありました・・。3本ですね。

日本人はどうして、すぐに傘をさすのでしょうか。

私は風邪をひきたくないから、
傘をさします。

みなさんは、雨が降ったら、
傘をさしますか？

それとも、傘をささずに、
走りますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

53. すぐに傘(かさ)をさす日本人/Japaneseだんだんpodcast

他专心地看着，随后又说：“我不要，这只羊已经病得很重了。给我重新画一只。”
He looked at it carefully, then he said:“No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another.”

我又画了起来。
So I made another drawing.
我的这位朋友天真可爱地笑了，并且客气地拒绝道：
My friend smiled gently and indulgently.

你看，你画的不是小羊，是头公羊，还有犄角呢。
“You see yourself,” he said, “that this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns.”
于是我又重新画了一张。
So then I did my drawing over once more.

这副画同前几副一样又被拒绝了。
But it was rejected too, just like the others.
这一只太老了。我想要一只能活得很长的羊。
This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time.

我不耐烦了。因为我急于要检修发动机，
By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart.
于是就草草画了这张画，并且匆匆地对他说道：
So I tossed off this drawing. And I threw out an explanation with it.
这是一只箱子，你要的羊就在里面。
This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside.


这时我十分惊奇地看到我的这位小评判员喜笑颜开。他说：
I was very surprised to see a light break over the face of my young judge:


这正是我想要的，你说这只羊需要很多草吗？
That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think that this sheep will have to have a great deal of grass?
为什么问这个呢？
Why?
因为我那里地方非常小
Because where I live everything is very small.
我给你画的是一只很小的小羊，地方小也够喂养它的。
“There will surely be enough grass for him,” I said. “It is a very small sheep that I have given you.”
他把脑袋靠近这张画。“并不像你说的那么小。瞧！它睡着了”
He bent his head over the drawing:“Not so small that– Look! He has gone to sleep.


就这样，我认识了小王子。
And that is how I made the acquaintance of the little prince.

You should avoid being this adjective 

Micromanagement, often seen as a hindrance to employee development, can paradoxically create opportunities for upskilling. By recognizing the root causes of micromanagement and implementing targeted upskilling initiatives, HR departments can transform this challenge into a strategic advantage.

Micromanagement frequently stems from a manager's lack of trust in their employees' abilities or a fear of failure. By offering upskilling programs that enhance employees' competencies, HR can address these underlying issues. Skills training in areas such as project management, problem-solving, and decision-making can empower employees to take ownership of their work and reduce the need for constant supervision.

Furthermore, micromanagement can create a culture of dependency. Upskilling initiatives can foster a growth mindset and encourage employees to seek out new challenges. By providing employees with the tools and knowledge to advance their careers, HR can create a more self-sufficient and engaged workforce.

To effectively address micromanagement through upskilling, HR should conduct needs assessments to identify skill gaps within the organization. Tailored training programs can then be developed to address these deficiencies. Additionally, mentoring and coaching opportunities can be provided to support employees as they develop new skills.

By proactively addressing micromanagement through upskilling, HR can create a more positive and productive work environment, improve employee retention, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the organization.
