Ep.5 スタバが好きですか？☕️

Welkom bij aflevering twee van de podcast Beter Gezegd. In de aflevering van vandaag staat het woord ‘bezienswaardigheden’ centraal. Wat is de definitie van bezienswaardigheden? Het woord is een samenstelling van ‘zien’ en ‘waardig’. Waardig betekent dat iets de moeite waard is. Iets is zinvol. Een bezienswaardigheid is dus een locatie, bijvoorbeeld een monument, een gebouw of natuur dat vaak door toeristen wordt bezocht. Beter gezegd, bezienswaardigheden zijn meestal plekken die een land of een stad bekend maken. In Frankrijk is dat bijvoorbeeld de Eiffeltoren, in Engeland is dat de Big Ben en in België is dat.. Manneken Pis!

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【命运和选择】的话题。
这两天，一个名为《回村三天，二舅治好了我的精神内耗》的视频在网上火了起来。两天的时间，1900多万的播放量、12万条评论、300多万的点赞和投币、100多万的收藏和转发。视频讲述了生活在农村的二舅平凡又有力量的一生，感动了很多人。二舅小学和初中都是全校第一，因为发烧后医生的错误治疗导致一辈子残疾。但是二舅并没有怨天尤人，他辛勤地做木工活赚钱，不仅领养了一个小女孩，还照顾着八十多岁的老母亲。除此之外，他还免费帮村里的邻居修各种电器。如果不是因为那次意外，二舅的人生会是完全不一样的结局。但是二舅从来没有这样想过，他的人生拿到了一副烂牌，但是他把这副烂牌打得很精彩。
作者说自己是个四肢健全、上过大学的人，又生在一个充满机遇的时代，他理应度过一个比二舅更为饱满的人生，而不应该因为一些暂时的小困难而陷入精神内耗。我想这也是很多人看了这个视频后很触动的原因，我们在二舅身上看到了勇气和对生活的热爱。
如果你是二舅，你会做什么样的选择呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

日本で一番高い山は、富士山です。今は冬なので登れませんが、湖のあるふもとの町には、たくさんの観光客が訪れています。湖ならば、一番大きいのが、みんな大好き、京都の隣にあるじゃないか！と思うのですが、外国人はさほど来ていません。実は私もよく知らない、琵琶（びわ）湖。ハルカちゃんに聞くまで、滋賀県はほとんどびわ湖で、びわ湖しかない、と思ってたんだけど、今回話して、とっても大事な湖だというのが、わかりました。
