Ep2 Ну что (we can't wait and it shows)

Businessperson 1: Mmmm! That burger looks delicious! I might order some takeout too. I’m exhausted.
Businessperson 2: Yeah, it’s really tasty and massive. And the fries are THE best.
Businessperson 1: What are you watching there?
Businessperson 2: This amazing documentary on food waste. Have you seen it?
Businessperson 1: No, is it any good?
Businessperson 2: Scary! I’m blown away by the statistics. Did you know that, out of all the food that is produced to eat, the world throws away about one-third of it? Every single year.
Businessperson 1: Seriously?
Businessperson 2: Yeah! We could feed three billion people with that food. And it’s worth one trillion US dollars.
Businessperson 1: I can’t even wrap my head around how much food that is.
Businessperson 2: Maybe this will help. You’ve been to China, right?
Businessperson 1: Yes. I did that trip from Shanghai to Beijing with my friends. Amazing.
Businessperson 2: So imagine that all of China was just fields that grow crops.
Businessperson 1: That’s a lot of crops.
Businessperson 2: It is. It’s 2.5 billion acres. Now imagine we just throw away all the food that we make with them.
Businessperson 1: That’s crazy!
Businessperson 2: But it’s not just that. It’s the whole food process. The water that is used to grow the wasted food is the equivalent of 200 liters, per person, per day for 9 billion people.
Businessperson 1: 9 billion? But there are only about 7 billion people on the Earth now, aren’t there?
Businessperson 2: Exactly! There won’t be 9 billion people on the planet until the middle of this century, and by then, we will need to be producing 70% more food than we do now to feed everyone.
Businessperson 1: It doesn’t make sense at all. Especially when you consider all of the people who are hungry in the world. I read that about 700 million people don’t have enough food right now.
Businessperson 2: I know! A lot of it, would you believe, is apparently to do with how it looks.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの17回目です。先月は色々なことがありました。いくつか新しい仕事をしました。スニーカーやマットレスが壊れました。新しいかばんと、スニーカーと、マットレスパッドを買いました。マットレスパッドは、マットレスの上に置いて使うマットです。私が好きなボンネルコイルのマットレスは売り切れだったので、一週間後にオンラインで買いました。

Hello, this is episode 17 of season 2 of my podcast. A lot has happened in the last month. I worked on some new projects. My sneakers and mattress broke. I bought a new bag, sneakers and a mattress pad. A mattress pad is a mat that you put on top of your mattress. The bonnell spring mattress I like was sold out, so I bought it online a week later.

最近、デジタルデトックスをしている人が多いです。一人の生徒さんは、ベッドの近くにスマホを置かないようにするために、アナログの時計を買ったそうです。他の生徒さんは、SNSで有名人をフォローしないようにしているそうです。有名人のアカウントはニュースが多すぎるからです。パソコンを使う時間を決めて、なるべくパソコンを使わないようにしている生徒さんもいます。私も、最近SNSのアプリをアンインストールしました。SNSは便利ですが、ずっと見ていると時間を無駄にしてしまうからです。

Many people have recently gone on a digital detox. One of my students bought an analogue clock to keep his phone away from his bed. Another student says he tries not to follow celebrities on social networking sites. This is because celebrity accounts have too much news. Another student decides when to use the computer and tries to avoid using it as much as possible. I also recently uninstalled my social networking apps, because social networking sites are useful, but if you look at them all the time, you waste time.

買い物もそうですね。お店に行くと、時間も限られているし、あまり選択肢がありません。だけど、インターネットで見るとたくさんの商品を一度に比べることができるので、なかなか決められません。また、買おうと思った商品でも、悪いレビューがあると気になってしまいます。「買わない方がいいかな」と思ってしまいます。商品を決めた後も、値段を比べることができると、買うお店やタイミングについて考えてしまいます。買った後にセールでもっと安くなると、残念な気持ちになります。だけど、こういうことを気にするのは、時間がもったいないですね。
