大家晚上好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，今天的台词出自电影《七月与安生》，由周冬雨和马思纯主演。

        “十三岁到十五岁，是七月和安生形影不离的三年。 有时候七月是安生的影子，有时候安生是七月的影子。她们在书里读到：如果踩住一个人的影子，那个人一辈子不会离开。但是安生说一辈子太长了，她只想活到二十七岁。

        初中毕业，七月考上了最好的高中，安生进了职业学校。用安生的话说，熬了九年终于考进了一所 不需要交作文、没有操行评分的学校，正和她的胃口。”

                                                                                                           ——电影《七月与安生》/<Soulmate>                 

形影不离Xíng yǐng bù lí always together; be after each other like shadows
影子 yǐngzi shadow

职业学校 zhíyè xuéxiào vocational school

"From 13 to 15 years old, Qiyue and Ansheng have been always together for three years. Sometimes Qiyue is the shadow of Ansheng, and sometimes Ansheng is the shadow of Qiyue. They read in the book: if you keep stepping on a someone's shadow, that person will never leave. But Ansheng said that a whole lifetime is too long, and she only wants to live up to 27.

After graduating from junior high school, Qiyue was admitted to the best high school, and Ansheng entered a vocational school. In Ansheng's words, after nine years hard life, she finally got into a school that doesn't need to hand in a composition and doesn't have a code of conduct. It was just to her taste. "

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は関西弁について話します。
みなさんは日本語を勉強していますね。

関西弁って聞いたことがありますか？
日本の関西地方の方言、なまりですね。

関西とは大阪府・京都府・兵庫県・奈良県・滋賀県・和歌山県の2府4県のことです。

2府4県とは、
大阪府・京都府ー2府
兵庫県・奈良県・滋賀県・和歌山県ー4県
のことです。

その地域で話されている言葉を関西弁、といいます。
ですが、その2府4県でもそれぞれ違います。

今日は大阪生まれのぼくが話す関西弁、について5つだけ紹介します。

ダメーあかん

本当ーほんま

早くーはよ

とても、すごいーめっちゃ

知らないー知らん

こんな感じですね。

例文を作ってみます。

・え、そんなんしたらあかんて！やめときや。
ーえ、そんなことしたらダメだよ、やめなよ。

・ほんまつかれたわ。はよ寝よ。
ー本当につかれたね、早く寝よう。

・めっちゃ人並んでるやん。こんな人気なん知らんかったわー。
ーすごい人並んでるね。こんなに人気があるの知らなかったね。

どうですか？
わかりました？

標準語に直してみると、変な感じです。
東京の人が本当にこう言うかはわからないですけど、一応、標準語だとこんな意味になります。


関西弁はめっちゃおもしろいです。
イントネーションとか、テンポとか、語尾とか、特徴があります。

ぼくはこのPodcastでは標準語に近い感じで話しますが、いつも奥さんと話す時は、完全に関西弁です。

2人で話すPodcastもまた作りますね。

ということで、今日はこれで終わります。

こんなぼくと一緒に話したい！と思った方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

italkiでお待ちしています！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
