El caminante soñador

王老师的中文班来了个留学生，他对中国的汉字非常感兴趣。这天，他上街回来找到王老师，不解的说：“王老师，你们中国人太不谦虚了。”
　　“为什么这么说？”王老师感到惊讶。“因为我看街上有很多大招牌，都是自我炫耀。比如：中国很行，中国人民很行，中国农业很行，中国建设很行，中国工商很行。”
　　王老师听了才知道他把“银”看成“很”了。
An foreign student came to Mr. Wang's Chinese class. He was very interested in Chinese characters. One day, he came back from the street to find Mr. Wang and said incomprehensibly, "Mr. Wang, you Chinese are too modest."

"Why do you say that?" Mr. Wang was surprised. "The big reason is that I see many big signs on the street, all of which are self display. For example, China is very good, the Chinese people are very good, China's agriculture is very good, China's construction is very good, and China's industry and commerce are very good."
After listening, Mr. Wang realized that he regarded "silver" as "very".

English below↓ 今日は、今プレイしているゲーム「Final Fantasy 6」の話をしたいと思います。

「Final Fantasy 」とは、日本のゲーム会社スクウェア・エニックスによって開発・販売されている、RPGのシリーズ作品のことです。

Final Fantasy 6のオリジナルは Nintendo のスーパーファミコンですが、リマスター版では、グラフィックや機能が追加・アップデートされています。

私が初めてFinal Fantasy 6をプレイしたのは、10代の頃でした。ドキドキ、ワクワクしながらやりました。とても思い出がある大好きなゲームです。

ところで、Final Fantasy という言葉は少し長いですね。そこで、日本のゲーマーは、Final Fantasy のことを「FF」と呼びます。Final の F と Fantasy の F を取って「FF（efu efu）」と言います。

「Final Fantasy」ではなく「FF」と言うと、ネイティブのゲーマーっぽく聞こえますよ！

Today, I would like to talk about the game I am currently playing, Final Fantasy 6.

Final Fantasy is a series of RPGs developed and marketed by the Japanese video game company Square Enix.

The original Final Fantasy 6 was released on SUPER Famicom, but the remastered version has updated graphics and features.

I first played Final Fantasy 6 when I was a teenager. I was sooo thrilled and excited to play it. It is my favorite game that holds a lot of memories for me.

By the way, the term Final Fantasy is a bit long. So, Japanese gamers call Final Fantasy "FF" (efuefu/えふえふ), taking the "F" out of Final and the "F" out of Fantasy.

It sounds more like a native gamer when you say "FF" instead of "Final Fantasy"!

“Why you’re motivated to work while traveling?”「研究で判明｢移動中や旅先で仕事がはかどる｣理由」

🐷Los tres cerditos🐷

Había una vez tres cerditos que decidieron construir sus propias casas. El primero, perezoso pero rápido, hizo su casa de paja; el segundo, un poco más cuidadoso, usó madera; y el tercero, el más trabajador, construyó su casa con ladrillos. Un día, el lobo feroz llegó y sopló con fuerza la casa de paja, derribándola en segundos. El cerdito corrió a la casa de su hermano, pero el lobo también sopló y destruyó la de madera. Desesperados, los dos huyeron a la casa del tercer cerdito.

El lobo intentó soplar con todas sus fuerzas, pero la casa de ladrillos no se movió. Frustrado, intentó entrar por la chimenea, sin saber que el cerdito más astuto había encendido un caldero de agua hirviendo. Cuando el lobo cayó dentro, salió disparado y huyó, prometiendo nunca volver. Los tres cerditos celebraron su victoria y aprendieron que el esfuerzo y la dedicación siempre valen la pena.

The three little pigs

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.
