【Japanese Podcast＃17】 日本(にほん)のひっこしは大変(たいへん)　| Moving in Japan is tough!　

The other day, I had dinner with a foreign friend, he called the waiter to clean up the table, and he said ‘这些不要了（we don’t need these）’.It’s OK, and we also have the corresponding Chinese saying like English.

I often say ’不好意思，麻烦收拾一下（bù hǎo yì si, má fan shōu shi yí xia）-Excuse me, could you please clean up here?’

چون عهده نمی شود کسی فردا را، حالی خوش دار این دل پر شیدا را
مِی نوش به ماهتاب ای ماه که ماه، بسیار بتابد و نیابد ما را

Yon rising Moon that looks for us again--
How oft hereafter will she wax and wane;
How oft hereafter rising look for us
Through this same Garden--and for one in vain!

两个分句的主语相同时，”不仅“放在主语后；两个分句的主语不同时，”不仅“放在主语前。
教室不仅宽敞而且整洁明亮。
不仅我吃了榴莲，她也吃了。

TASK 38 - ANIMALS AND US 

Japan Airlines (JAL) is offering free domestic flights in Japan for some passengers who book an international flight with the airline.

At the moment, the offer is available to passengers booking flights into Japan from a number of countries in North America and the Asia-Pacific region.

For example, it means that a passenger booking a flight from Thailand to Tokyo will be able to book a free flight from the Japanese capital to any other destination in Japan that JAL flies to.

According to the JAL website, the airline has 133 domestic routes and 66 international routes.

It's good news for tourists who'd like to explore more of Japan, but it could also help take the pressure off some of the country's most popular sights.

Almost 18 million international visitors came to Japan in the first half of 2024, according to the country's national tourism organization.

That's a record number of arrivals, and it means some popular tourist areas — including the center of Tokyo and Mount Fuji — can get overcrowded.

JAL's offer was first made available in early September to tourists from Canada, Mexico and the US.

By the end of the month, people traveling from Australia and New Zealand were also eligible, along with those from Thailand, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and Taiwan.

JAL hopes to make it available to even more passengers in the future.

To take advantage of the offer, passengers must book their domestic flight at the same time that they make their international booking with JAL.

However, the airline said travelers from the US, Canada, Mexico and China will have to pay a little more — $100 for travelers from the US — if they plan to spend more than 24 hours in the first city they arrive in.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【运动】的话题。
在中国，最受欢迎的运动项目包括篮球、乒乓球、羽毛球、足球和跑步等。篮球在中国尤其是年轻人中非常流行，姚明的影响力使得这项运动在中国得到了极大的推广。乒乓球是中国非常突出的运动项目，早在20世纪50年代初，中国领导人毛主席就宣布乒乓球为一项全民运动。这项运动在中国的普及程度非常高，到处可以看到乒乓球桌。羽毛球是中国的另一项全民运动，与乒乓球类似，羽毛球可以随时随地进行，只需要一副球拍。足球在中国也有很大的影响力，但是因为踢足球需要更大的场地，不是每个学校都有足球场。跑步在中国变得越来越流行，越来越多的人选择在城市的街道和乡村小路上跑步。
这几年，户外运动也流行了起来。例如徒步、登山、露营、滑雪、漂流和骑行等，受到了越来越多的人喜爱。这些活动不仅能让人们亲近大自然，还能提供一种健康的生活方式。周末参加一个一天的徒步团，在山里面徒步，呼吸新鲜空气，然后在村里面吃一顿地道的农家菜，对住在城市里的年轻人来说是很新鲜的体验。在徒步的过程中也可以跟其他人聊聊天，认识新朋友，有的年轻人甚至在徒步中遇到自己的另一半。
除此之外，去健身房锻炼身体，去瑜伽馆做瑜伽也是很多年轻人的选择。你可以选择月卡、半年卡和年卡，一般年卡是最划算的。不过经常有年轻人买了年卡以后很少去，坚持运动也是一件不容易的事啊。
没有时间去健身房或者不喜欢社交的人，也可以选择在家里做运动。一边看视频，一边跟着做动作。因此很多运动博主也收获了不少粉丝，一个视频甚至有几千万的播放量。还有一些博主直播带着大家一起运动，运动变成一种新时尚。
你最喜欢什么运动？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

中国人喜欢什么运动？（Intermediate level）

People who spend a lot of time sitting down might reduce their health risks by drinking coffee, a new study suggests.

Researchers from China wanted to look at the health effects of coffee drinking and time spent sitting.

They looked at health data for nearly 11,000 people in the US and followed them for up to 13 years.

During the period of the study, 945 people died, including 284 from heart disease.

The research team found that people who sat for over eight hours a day were almost 50% more likely to die from all causes, and nearly 80% more likely to die from heart disease.

That's compared to people who sat for fewer than four hours per day.

Sitting for a long time has been linked to increased risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and more.

The researchers also found that people who drank the most coffee — three or more cups per day — reduced their risk of death from all causes by over 30% compared to those who drank no coffee. And they were more than 50% less likely to die from heart disease.

And drinking coffee even seemed to protect people from the health risks of sitting down: coffee drinkers could sit for more than six hours a day and still have about the same risk of death as non-coffee drinkers who sat for less than six hours.

However, the researchers said they didn't look at the effects of different types of coffee on our health, so they couldn't be sure which type was best.

They wrote that more research would be needed on this "miracle" drink.
