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。

今年の3月11日で、
東日本大地震(ひがしにほんだいしんさい)から13年になりました。
2万人を超える人が、亡(な)くりました。

日本では、学校や会社で避難訓練(ひなんくんれん)があります。

避難(ひなん)とは、逃げることです。

訓練(くんれん)とは、練習(れんしゅう)することです。

避難訓練とは地震(じしん)のとき、

逃(に)げる練習をすることです。

そのときに、大切(たいせつ)なことがあります。

それは「お・は・し・も」です。

おはしもって何？ですよね。

おはしもとは、

おさない
走らない
しゃべらない
もどらない

のことです。

それを「おはしも」といいます。

地震があったとき、この「おはしも」を思い出します。

そうしてパニックにならないようにします。

この「おはしも」はいつ、習うと思いますか？

だれから、習うと思いますか？

つづきます。

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！

71. 「おはしも」って知ってる？/地震(じしん)が多い日本①

Story = '2000 most common words in English'. 

It was 10am on a cloudy Friday when Bobby was struck by inspiration.  It was a day like any other. Bobby was sitting on his bed, curled up in a ball and Afsane was nearby reading a new book.

Bobby was deep in thought. His eyes were closed but his mind was active. His little tail was wagging softly. Occasionally he got up, turned around and sat back down again. This was part of his creative process. 

Then Bobby’s eyes shot open. “Yes! That’s it! I’ll… I’ll…” Then he rested his head again on his paws.  “No… it’s gone.” 

Asfane turned her attention back to her book and turned the page. The book was called, How to Live with An Extraordinary Dog. She wanted to better understand Bobby’s gift.

“You’ve done so many projects,” said Afsane. “Why don’t you revisit an old idea and explore it from a different viewpoint?” 

All over Bobby’s room were his photographs. They were all in special frames. He had taken photos of almost everything: parks, sports, markets, transportation, roads—whatever Bobby saw, he snapped a photo. But he didn’t know what to do for his next photography project. 

Bobby needed to refresh his mind. He jumped off the bed and walked over to his food area. On the wall in front of his red drinking bowl was a picture of his previous drinking bowl, a blue one. 

“I’m looking for a special subject, Afsane,” said Bobby after drinking some water. “Something which speaks to my soul. Something which lifts my spirits.” 

Afsane shrugged her shoulders and put down her book. “That sounds very serious, Bobby. Why don’t you just take a photo of… oh, I don’t know, that.” 

Afsane pointed to the open window. 

Bobby felt curious, so he jumped up and looked out the window. He didn’t see much. He watched the traffic and the dark clouds. But then, something caught his eye. 

Bobby barked and howled! “That’s it! That’s it!”

“See, I told you. There’s nothing boring about windows,” said Afsane.

“No. There! Children!”
