成也萧何败也萧何是一句成语，即事情的成功和失败都是由同一个人造成的。对于韩信来说，好事与坏事都让萧何做了，因此注定他的个人成败，有了“成也萧何败也萧何”一说。当然，这里所说的“好事”与“坏是”只是相对于韩信而言。

【键盘侠】
这种人在现实生活中对周边的人或者事物冷漠不关心，喜欢用手机或者电脑在网络上对他人进行批评、侮辱、道德谴责等等。
 比如，现实中，如果遇到一个人被欺负，键盘侠会假装看不见，然后悄悄离开，但是，如果在网络上看到有人被欺负的新闻，键盘侠会立马写评论指责他人为什么不帮助那个受害者。这就是键盘侠。

日本の夏は、暑いだけじゃなくて湿度も高いので、本当に蒸し暑いです🥵「熱中症（ねっちゅうしょう）」に気をつけながら夏を楽しみましょう！👒🍧🐠

Ep.47 ⚠️熱中症に気をつけましょう！！！！！🥵

When we talk about "screen time," we're often thinking about the effect that time spent on devices has on young people.

But what about the effect that those screens have on our eyes?

Whether you're using Instagram or Microsoft Excel, experts say that spending a lot of time looking at a screen isn't good for you.

But if you have to use a computer for work, what can you do to stay healthy?

Many eye experts say you should follow the "20-20-20 rule." This means taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away — that's about 6 meters.

This gives your eyes a break and makes them change their focus from the screen that's near to you, to something that's farther away.

Make sure the screen is the right brightness, too. A screen that's too bright or too dark will make you strain your eyes. But your device can help you with this.

The idea is to reduce the amount of blue light that your eyes are getting, something that "night mode" on your device does. And some companies now sell blue light glasses that can help.

Sitting the right distance from the screen is also a good idea: at least 50 centimeters away is often given as a suggestion.

If you find you're moving close to the screen and straining your eyes to see, you could try making the fonts on your screen larger.

And don't forget to blink! Blinking stops your eyes from getting dry and it can also help to reduce eye strain.

Top Tips to Keep Your Eyes Healthy When Using Screens

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今回は、日本のカフェやレストランで聞く言葉について話します。
これは、先日レッスンをしていた時に出てきたトピックです。
おもしろいですし、とっさに聞くと困ると思うので、いくつか紹介しますね！


店内けっこう混み合ってるんですけど、大丈夫ですか？
こんな言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
意味は、店の席がほとんどあいていませんが、良いですか？
店内で飲みますか？食べますか？席はありますか？
というような意味ですね。

これは、たとえばカフェに行きます。
席がほとんどうまっています。
そんな時に、店員さんから聞かれると思います。

この時には、席はとったので大丈夫です。とか、
持ち帰りにします、とか
店員さんに言ってください。

僕は以前、コーヒーショップで20年働いていたので、このようなことをお客さんによく聞いていました。

満席に近いですが、お席取られていますか？とか、
席がほとんど埋まっていますので、先に席取ってくださいね、とか
今は席がいっぱいなので、持ち帰りでもよろしいでしょうか、などと
いうことが多かったです。

コーヒーショップは平日の朝や夜遅くは空いていますが、平日の昼から夕方、土日は1日中、席がいっぱい、満席なことが多いですね。

もし旅行で日本に来た時は、午前中にカフェに行く方がいいですよ！
席もあいているし、ゆっくりできます。


カフェやレストランでの会話や、コーヒーのことなど話したい方は、ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話ししましょう！

ということで、今回は、カフェなどで聞く言葉、について話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
