How I helped a client overcome workplace anxiety - Episode 55

Benvenuti e benvenute nella prima puntata del mio podcast "Un caffè con Chiara"! 
In questa prima puntata, vi spiegherò brevemente perché ho deciso di dare questo titolo al mio podcast. Non esitate a scrivermi in privato e a prenotare una lezione con me nel caso in cui abbiate domande riguardo a qualche espressione! :) 


L'espressione del giorno è: "fare due chiacchiere"

Un caffè con Chiara

Episodio 1: Un caffè con Chiara: perché questo titolo?

みなさんは何かペットを飼っていますか？うちは猫を２匹飼っているんですけれど、こちらです。

キジトラの猫はキジトラと言う名前で、三毛猫はミケと言う名前です。そのまんまなんですけれども......　２匹ともとても可愛いんですけど、とにかくわんぱくなんです。こちらの写真をみてください。

『三毛猫のミケが、猫砂利をバシャーっと、ぶちまけてしまいました。』

家族がまだ寝ているうちに、私が早起きをしてジョギングに行こうかなーと思ったら、これです！可愛いから許しちゃう！

ターゲット表現：
さて、今日は先ほどあった『猫砂利をぶちまけてしまいました。』と言う文の、『て+しまいました』と言う形をマスターして行ってみましょう！

『動詞の て形 + しまいました』と言う形を使うと、
スペイン語で言うと、"Alguien hizo algo por error." とか "Alguien hizo algo de forma imprevista." "Alguien desafortunadamente hizo algo."
英語で言うと、"Someone did something by accident." とか "Someone unexpectedly did something." "Someone unfortunately did something."
の様な表現が日本語でできます。


応用練習：
それでは早速、この形を使って、次のスペイン語、もしくは英語を日本語で表現してみましょう。

①
スペイン語：Se me mojó el pantalón por accidente.
英語：My trousers got wet by accident.
mojarse、get wetは日本語で『濡れる』と言います。正解は......
日本語：ズボンが濡れてしまいました。

で、それを聞いたBさんが、じゃあ、２問目行ってみましょう。
②
スペイン語：¿Te orinaste en el pantalón por accidente?
英語：Did you accidentally pee your pants?
日本語：お漏らしをしてしまいましたか？

③
スペイン語：No. Derramé mi café por error.
英語：No. I spilled my coffee by accident!
日本語：いいえ。コーヒーをこぼしてしまいました。

④
スペイン語：¿Y la taza de café? ¿Desapareció como por arte de magia?
英語：And the coffee cup? Did it disappear like magic?
日本語：で、コーヒーカップは魔法の様に消えてしまいましたか？

⑤
スペイン語：Sí. Sorprendentemente, se fue volando.
英語：Yes. surprisingly, it flew away.
日本語：はい。飛んで行ってしまいました。

⑥
スペイン語：Ya veo. Desafortunadamente perdiste la razón.
英語：I see. You've unfortunately lost your mind.
日本語：なるほど。頭がおかしくなってしまいましたか。

このジェスチャーはあまり良くないのでやらないでください。

まとめ：
はい。と言う訳で、今日は『動詞のて形+しまいました。』という形を使うと
スペイン語で言うと、"Alguien hizo algo por error." とか "Alguien hizo algo de forma imprevista." "Alguien desafortunadamente hizo algo."
英語で言うと、"Someone did something by accident." とか "Someone unexpectedly did something." "Someone unfortunately did something."
という表現が日本語で言えるようになります。はいというわけで今日は以上になります。今日もどうもありがとうございました。

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.
