はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの12回目です。前回から少し日にちが空いてしまいました。私は今月の18日から子宮筋腫の手術のために入院することになり、ポッドキャストを更新できませんでした。手術は無事終わり、今朝退院しました。5月の終わりから大学のクラスも始まるので、準備しなければいけません。桜はもう散って、外は暖かくなってきました。
Hello, this is episode 12 of season 2 of my podcast. It has been a little while since the last time. I have not been able to update the podcast as I have been in hospital since the 18th of this month for an operation for fibroids. The operation went well and I was discharged this morning, and I have to prepare for university classes starting at the end of May. The cherry blossoms have already fallen and it is getting warmer outside.
私は普段、毎日仕事をしています。一週間以上仕事を休んだのは5年ぶりです。最後に仕事を休んだ時は、2018年の春にロサンゼルスに旅行に行った時でした。だけど、ロサンゼルスでは仕事を続けていたので、完全な休みではありませんでした。今回はパソコンやインターネットが使えなかったので、完全な休みです。入院している時は、本を読んだり、携帯アプリのゲームをしたりして、時間を過ごしました。手術は成功しましたが、傷や体調はまだ完全に回復していません。１ヶ月後にもう一度検査をします。
I usually work every day. It has been five years since I have taken more than a week off work. The last time I took time off work was when I travelled to Los Angeles in the spring of 2018. But it wasn't a complete holiday because I continued working in Los Angeles. This time it was a complete holiday because I wasn't able to use a computer or the Internet. When I was in hospital, I spent my time reading books and playing game apps. The operation was a success, but my wounds and condition have not fully recovered yet; I will have another check-up in a month's time.
入院している間に読んだ本は、エマニュエル・トッド(Emmanuel Todd)の本です。エマニュエル・トッドは1951年生まれのフランスの歴史人口学者です。彼は人口、宗教、家族構成などの世界中の歴史のデータを研究して、これからの社会や政治の出来事を正確に予想できることで有名です。私は、第三次世界大戦の可能性について調べていたとき、彼のことを知りました。 学者じゃなくても、歴史や社会については、知識があるに越したことはありません。「越したことはない」とは、「何かは常に一番いいアイデア」という意味です。動詞・名詞・形容詞に使います。たとえば、健康に越したことはありません。
