欧盟European Union13日召开能源部长会议，虽然“会议超时数小时”，但是各成员国the member states未能就天然气限价方案达成共识。
欧盟成员国此前一直在设置天然气价格上限方面存在分歧。德国、奥地利和荷兰等国对相关方案有异议，认为限价price caps会导致欧洲急需much-needed的天然气向其他市场转移divert to，扰乱能源市场的运作。但希腊、比利时、意大利和波兰等国提出相反的意见，要求设定价格上限，以保护其经济免受高能源价格的影响。

はい、こんにちはようへい先生です。今日は日本語の”はい” と ”いいえ”、 英語の イエスと ノー がぜんぜんちがう時があります。というお話をしたいです。 

えー、これがですね、ちょっと前にN２N３リレベルのpodcast でも話したんですね。で、＋クイズもしたんですけど。もえーN２N３レベルの生徒たち、あまり簡単じゃなかったようですね。えーですから、今日もお今回も おこのpodcastのチャンネルで、えーはいといえの違いの話をしてえ、みなさんとちょっと問題（もんだい）をしていきたいと思います。

じゃ、いつ”はい” と ”いいえ” がちがうか、ちょっと説明（せつめい）しますね。 


A：Don't you need to go home now?（帰（かえ）らなくてもいいの？）
B：Yes, I do.　（いいえ、帰らなくてはなりません）
B：No, I don`t.　（はい、帰らなくてもいいです）


えー、英語でDon't you need to go home now?　帰らなくてもいいので返事が Yes, I do. だと「いえ、帰らなくてはなりません」、になります。No, I don`t.　だと「はい、帰らなくてもいいです」、になるんですね ですから”はい” と”いいえ” が反対(はんたい）ですね。opposite ですよね。ちょっとこれがとくに英語を話す生徒（せいと）にはとちょっとむずかしいんですね。はい。じゃあちょっと問題（もんだい）をいっしょにやりましょうね。
①
A：明日雨はふらないでしょう？
B：【　　　】、ふらないですよ。
B：【　　　】、ふりますよ。
　
これはどっちですか。どっちがはいてどっちがいいえですか
・こたえ
B：【　はい　　】ふらないですよ。
B：【　いいえ　】、ふりますよ。

大丈夫（だいじょうぶ）ですか。はい、じゃあ2番
②
A：このおかし、あなたいらないの？
B：【　　　】いらないよ。
B：【　　　】ほしいよ。


はい。じゃあこれはカジュアルですから。”うん” と “うんうん” で答(こた）えましょう。どっちが”うん” でどっちが”ううん” ですか。
・こたえ
B：【　うん、　】いらないよ。Yes
B：【　ううん、】ほしいよ。    No 

 はい、じゃあさいご


はい、これも”うん” と”うんうん” ですねはい、どっちですか。
③
A：今日、勉強（べんきょう）しないの？
B：【　　　】するよ。
B：【　　　】しないよ。

はい「今日勉強しないの？」。「ううんするよ」「うんしないよ」ですね。 
・こたえ
B：【　ううん　】、するよ。
B：【　うん　】、しないよ。


はい、どうでしたか。かんたんですか、むずかしいですか。はい、 じゃあ、ちょっとむずかしかった人はまた勉強してください。はい、じゃ、今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございます。
じゃあ、日本語の勉強がんばってください。バイバイ👋

Deep and Relaxing Meditation For Reprogramming Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs are deeply ingrained thought patterns or beliefs that hold us back from reaching our full potential and achieving our goals. 

These beliefs are often negative and self-defeating, leading us to doubt ourselves, avoid challenges, and hinder our personal growth and success. Limiting beliefs can manifest in various areas of life, such as relationships, career, health, and personal development.

Self-sabotage: Limiting beliefs create a self-fulfilling prophecy, leading us to engage in behaviors that validate those beliefs. For example, if someone believes they are not good enough to succeed in their career, they might avoid taking on new opportunities or promotions.

Fear and avoidance: These beliefs often instill fear and anxiety, making us avoid situations that challenge our beliefs or might lead to personal growth. As a result, we miss out on valuable experiences and opportunities.

Lack of confidence: When we hold onto limiting beliefs, our self-esteem and confidence suffer. We underestimate our abilities and hesitate to take on challenges, which can hinder progress and success.

Negative mindset: Limiting beliefs create a negative mindset, where we focus on what we can't do rather than what we can achieve. 

Overcoming limiting beliefs is essential for personal growth and achieving success. Here are some steps to challenge and change limiting beliefs:

Awareness: Recognize and identify your limiting beliefs. Understand how they are influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Questioning: Challenge the validity of these beliefs. Look for evidence that supports and contradicts them. Often, you'll find that many limiting beliefs are based on unfounded assumptions.

Reframing: Replace limiting beliefs with empowering and constructive beliefs. Focus on your strengths, accomplishments, and potential.
