너를 안으면 풀꽃 냄새가 난다
세상에 오직 하나 있는 꽃,
아무도 이름 지어 주지 않는 꽃,
네게서는 나만 아는 풀꽃 냄새가 난다.

Listening to 100 pretty poems by 나태주 poet

Part 2 of 6. 

Jack, a pocket-sized blue book with yellow text and white pages, climbed up the library steps, knocked on the modern glass doors and was let in by the security guard. It was an hour before the library opened to the public. 

“Mornin’ Jack,” said the security guard. “I’ve been dying to see you this morning. Could you whip me up a Frappuccino?” 

Jack’s life swirled around coffee. Not only was it his profession, it was his passion and life’s purpose. The library café had been in his family for six generations. Ever since Jack was capable of walking on his two feet, he was working at the café. In due time, Jack had mastered all aspects of coffee making, from grinding and roasting beans to excellent customer service, and everything in between. His father supervised him closely, making sure their state-of-the-art coffee machine was used properly. When Jack was ready, his mother showed him how to create artistic designs using the frothed milk. 

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer,” replied Jack. “I’ve got some extra housekeeping to do this morning. I’ll get it to you at opening time.” 

The island café was placed in the center of the public sitting area. It was surrounded by seven medium-sized tables. Today Jack had to prepare a new shipment of Columbian beans by grinding them and storing them away. After doing that, he mopped around the seating area and wiped the tables. Finally, Jack sliced some cheese for his most popular item, the cheese bread rolls. 

Jack switched on his beloved coffee machine and listened to it hum as it warmed up. With his hand on the steam wand, Jack caught his reflection in the pressure and temperature dials of the machine. Looking back at him was a newly-discovered shiny white hair.

JKって？？

みなさん、JKってなんの略語かわかりますか。女子高校生です。女子のJ（jyoshi）と高校生（koukousei）のKでJKです。
東京の女子高生は、日本文化の最先端（さいせんたん）をいくとも言われていますね。
世界中に日本の「かわいい文化」を発信したのも、当時のJKたちです。

きのう、わたしは娘と一緒にディズニーランドへ行きました。
今大学2年生の姪っ子（めいっこ）から、つまり2年前のJKから「ディズニーランドは開園1時間前に行かないとだめ」と言われたので、家を6時半に出て、8時にディズニーランドに到着しました。
すでに、たくさんのJKが開園を待っていました。
えっ、どうして彼女たちがJKだとわかるのかって。
はい、彼女たちはグループごとに同じ制服を着ていたのです。
友だち同士で同じ制服を着て、ディズニーランドに来るのです。
これを「制服ディズニー」と言うみたいですよ。おもしろいですね。

おしゃれが大好きな女子高生たちは、毎日メイクやヘアスタイルに余念（よねん）がありません※。もちろんファッションの流行（りゅうこう）にも敏感（びんかん）な彼女たちですが、遊びに行くときに選ぶ服はなんと「制服」なんです。
放課後だけでなく、休みの日でも制服を着て出かけるみたいです。びっくりですね。
自分たちが女子高校生であるといことをアピールするために着ているのかもしれません。でも、どうして同じ制服を着て出かけるのでしょうか。制服を着る、つまり同じ服を着ることで、友だちとの一体感（いったいかん）を確認しているのかもしれません。
JKは思春期という多感（たかん）な時期ですから、色々と感じ、色々と悩むのでしょうね。

みなさんは、制服にどんな思いがありましたか。

※「余念がない」⇒ひとつのことに集中して考えていること。


「のぞみ」の「日本ってどんな国」

JKって？

▼Script
みんなが住んでるところって、まだマスクしてる？もうしてない？日本はまだ、ほぼ全員（ぜんいん）がマスクしてるんだよね。コロナの前はマスクっていったらもうほぼ白で、お医者さんとかは水色のマスクをしてるイメージだったんだけど、もうマスクはファッションの一部になってるのね。で、ピンク、ベージュ、青、カーキとかいろいろな色があるの。その中から服に合うマスクを選（えら）んだりするよ。私もピンクとラベンダーと白を持ってるよ。

Does everyone still wear masks where they live? Don't they already? In Japan, almost everyone still wears masks. Before Corona, masks were mostly white, and doctors wore light blue masks, but now masks have become a part of fashion. There are many colors to choose from, such as pink, beige, blue, and khaki. I choose a mask that goes with my outfit. I have a pink one, a lavender one, and a white one.


日本に来たことがある人は知ってると思うけど、日本ってマスクをするのに全然（ぜんぜん）抵抗（ていこう）がないだんよね。だから、コロナ前でもマスクしてる人は普通（ふつう）にたくさんいたの。それは、風邪をひいたからマスクをしてるんじゃなくて、風邪を引かないように予防（よぼう）してる人もいるし、花粉症（かふんしょう）対策（たいさく）でマスクしている人もいるよ。私も友だちと約束（やくそく）がある日とか大事（だいじ）なイベントがある一週間くらい前からはマスクしてたよ。

As those who have been to Japan know, there is no resistance to wearing masks in Japan. That's why there were many people wearing masks even in front of Corona. Some people wear masks not because they have caught a cold, but as a preventive measure against catching a cold, and some wear masks to prevent hay fever. I used to wear a mask about a week before an important event or an appointment with a friend.


あとあと、日本って花粉症の人が多いじゃん？日本人の4人に1人は花粉症らしんだけど、花粉症って鼻水でるしくしゃみでるし・・・って感じでコロナだと間違われたりするんだよね。だから、鼻水もくしゃみも我慢できない！でも私はコロナじゃない！って人のために、マスクに「花粉症です」って押すスタンプも売ってるよ。でも実際にスタンプをしてる人は見たことないから、日本に来たときに探してみてね～。

Also, there are many hay fever sufferers in Japan, right? One out of four Japanese people suffer from hay fever, but hay fever is often mistaken for corona because of the runny nose and sneezing. So I can't stand the sniffles and sneezes! But I don't have corona! For those who can't stand the sneezing and sniffling, there are stamps that say "I have hay fever" on their masks. But I've never seen anyone actually wearing one, so look for one when you come to Japan!
