こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですかー？私は今日も朝ランニングに行ったので絶好調です！
今日は「サウジの砂嵐」について話したいと思います。
サウジの春から夏、つまり3月から恐らく9月くらいまで度々砂嵐が発生します。私が住む地域では特に3-5月が多い気がします。
みなさんご存じかと思いますが、サウジアラビアやその周辺の国々は砂漠の国です。なので、風が強いとよく砂埃が舞い、空が薄茶色になります。もちろん、ひどい場合は数メートル先から見えないので、運転は危険です。たいていの場合は日本でいう、黄砂みたいな感じです。でもひどい場合は、建物が壊れたり、けが人が出ます。
先週月曜日の深夜、息子の学校からメッセージがあり、「明日は砂嵐が来るため、生徒の健康を考え、当校ではオンラインレッスンをします。」という内容の連絡が来ました。私が住んでいる州のほとんどの学校では休校かオンラインクラスになったと思われます。朝、窓を開けると、運転できないほどではないですが、確かに健康には悪そうな感じでした。
オンラインクラスが終わるころには結構天気が良くなって大したことはなかったのですが、夜ごはんをたべるときにキッチンの換気扇の下が白くなっていて驚きました。換気扇を通して埃が入ってきます。なので、砂嵐の時には換気扇をつけておかなければならないと義理のお父さんが教えてくれました。今まで見たことなかったけど、新しいメイドさんがそのことを知らなかったので、朝からばんばん砂埃がキッチンに入り込んでいました。
砂嵐の時ではなくても、サウジの家にはよーく砂埃が入ってくるので、掃除が大変です。メイドさんを雇いたくなる気持ちがわかります。リビングなどの共有スペースは毎日2回のモップ掛け、キッチンや寝室は週に1回の徹底清掃です。埃がたまりやすいのでこまめに掃除をしないといけないです。
ちなみにサウジは地震や台風がなく大雨も珍しく全体的に災害が少ない国なので、日本に比べるとかなり安全ですよ～。

さて、今日のフレーズは「こまめ」です。労を惜しまず一生懸命に働く様子を意味します。今回の話のように掃除を定期的によくする場合と
「新入社員の彼女はこまめに業務に取り組んでいる。」や「妻はこまめに家事をこなしている。」など個人の働きぶりを評価する際に使われることが多いです。

それではまた、マアッサラーマ！

第43回：サウジの砂嵐~Sand Storm in Saudi Arabia~

In an executive order signed on January 20, President Donald Trump instructed the US attorney general to pause enforcement of the US ban on TikTok for 75 days while his administration decides the platform's future.

US officials and lawmakers have long been concerned that TikTok's ownership by the Chinese company ByteDance poses a threat to national security. Under a federal law passed in Congress last year and upheld by the Supreme Court last week, ByteDance was required to sell the platform to an approved buyer by January 19 or face a nationwide ban.

On the evening of January 18, a few hours before the ban took effect, TikTok became unusable for US users. But it came back online the following day, after Trump said on social media he would order the ban to be paused.

However, Trump's order could face legal challenges because he does not have the power to overturn a law that Congress has passed and the Supreme Court has upheld.

Nevertheless, Trump's order will buy time for ByteDance and TikTok to figure out their next move.

Trump has proposed terms in which the US would have a 50% stake "in a joint venture" with ByteDance, but it was unclear how this would work.

Trump has also not addressed whether he will allow ByteDance to keep controlling the algorithm that controls what users see on TikTok. The algorithm is maintained by ByteDance engineers in China and is one of the main concerns among supporters of the law.

After the law was passed last year, ByteDance fought a legal battle against it for months. ByteDance and TikTok have not said whether they are willing to cut ties with each other within the new 75-day extension period.

On January 21, Trump was asked whether he's installed the app on his phone. The US government has banned it from federal devices due to concerns it could lead to spying by Chinese intelligence agencies.
