はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの25回目です。今日は3回目のワクチンを受けました。2回目と違って予約は必要なく、場所も近所だったので簡単でした。午後、私はワクチンを打ったことを忘れていて、筋トレをしてしまいました。ワクチンを打った後は、激しい運動は禁止なので、ちょっと不安です。具合が悪くならないといいです。

Hello. This is episode 25 of my podcast. Today I had my third vaccine - unlike the second one, I didn't need an appointment and the location was in my neighbourhood, so it was easy. In the afternoon I forgot that I had had the vaccine and did some muscle training. I'm a bit worried because after the vaccine, I'm not allowed to do any strenuous exercise. I hope I won't get sick.

今日の朝レッスンで、質問がありました。カタカナの単語についてです。一般的に、日本語では、外国語の単語をカタカナで表現します。ところが、カタカナと日本語の2種類の言い方ができる単語もあります。例えば、「ティッシュペーパー」は「ちり紙」とも言われます。いつ、どっちを使うのか？という質問でした。今日はこのことについてお話ししたいと思います。

In today's morning lesson, a question was asked. It is about katakana words. Generally, in Japanese, foreign words are written in Katakana. However, some things can be expressed using 2 different words: an imported foreign word which is written in katakana, and a native Japanese word which is written in Hiragana or Kanji. For example, 'Tisshupe-pa- (tissue paper)' is a foreign word. You can also use the native Japanese word: ‘Chirigami (tissue paper)’. When do we use which one? This was the question. Today I would like to talk about this.

商品のマーケティングや広告には、カタカナがよく使われます。例えば、日本のファッションのウェブサイトでは「ニット」「キャップ」「マフラー」などの単語が使われています。これらを日本語で「編み物」「帽子」「襟巻き」と言うこともできますが、カタカナを使うことで、現代的なイメージにしています。とくに「襟巻き」は古いイメージのある言葉で、お年寄りの人以外が使っているのを聞いたことがありません。

Katakana is often used in product marketing and advertising. For example, Japanese fashion websites use words such as 'Nitto (knit)', 'Kyappu (cap)' and 'Mafura- (A scarf. From the old-fashioned English word "muffler")'. These could be called 'Amimono (knit)', 'Boushi (cap)' or 'Erimaki (scarf)' in Japanese, but the use of Katakana gives them a modern image. In particular, 'Erimaki (scarf)' has an old-fashioned image and I have never heard it used except by elderly people.

Flying and Eating

4-Year-Old Signs Book Deal to Publish Poems
A 4-year-old boy from the UK has signed a book deal to publish his collection of poems.

Nadim Shamma-Sourgen was discovered by poet and teacher Kate Clanchy, who won the 2020 Orwell Prize for political writing. Clanchy knew Shamma-Sourgen's mother, who teaches the study of poetry at the University of Reading.

Clanchy began sharing Shamma-Sourgen's poems on Twitter, where they became popular with her followers. Speaking to The Guardian, Clanchy said that she didn't share them because they were like an adult's poems, but because they were so much like a child's way of thinking.

The young poet has now signed a book deal with Walker Books, a children's book company, making him one of the youngest writers to get a book deal.

According to Guinness World Records, Dorothy Straight from the US is the youngest female to publish a book. She wrote a book in 1962 when she was 4 years old. It was published in 1964.

The youngest male writer is Thanuwana Serasinghe from Sri Lanka, who wrote a book when he was 4 years and 9 months old. It was published nine days before his 5th birthday.

In an interview with Sky News, Shamma-Sourgen's mother said that he's still learning to read and write, so he speaks his poems out loud and she writes them down for him.

"I like writing poems especially about nature. I feel happy that my poems will be in a book," Shamma-Sourgen told The Guardian. As well as nature, Shamma-Sourgen's poems talk about things like love, being lonely and bugs in his garden.

The book of poems will be published in summer 2021.

ひらがな＿だくおん

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は22℃。少し暖かいです。

昨日、おとといと雨が降っていました。
今日は晴れているので、とても気持ちがいいです。

今日は家の近くにある、水族館と、この地域で有名な鮭、サーモンについて話します。

サケのふるさと 千歳水族館は、サケや北方地域のさまざまな淡水魚を観察できる水族館です。千歳川の隣にあるので、水族館からガラス越しに千歳川の水中をのぞけことができます。

この日本初の「水中観察室」は、9〜10月になると遡上(そじょう)、川の流れと反対に上ってくることですね、してきたサケでガラスの窓が埋め尽くされ、冬には産卵の瞬間を見られることもあるそうです。

私も、北海道に引っ越してきた時に行きましたが、とてもおもしろい水族館でした。大きくはないですが、見れるものがたくさんあります。そしてやはり、川の水の中をガラス越しに見ることができるのは本当にとてもおもしろいです。魚が泳いでいる本当の姿を見ることができます。

サケは産卵の時期になると、自分が生まれた川へ戻ってきます。サケが、進化のなかで海で成長するようになりました。エサの豊富な海で成長します。そして、海よりも安全な場所で産卵するために、生まれた川へ戻ってきます。

生まれた川がどうしてわかると思いますか？
これは、川で生活している時に、その川のにおいをおぼえているからだそうです。

サケは成長する時は海へ出ます。サケによっては、日本からロシア、カナダの海を通ってアラスカの方まで行き、3.4年後に戻って来るそうです。

生まれた川は「におい」で判断しているらしいことが分かっています。ですが、においだけをたよりに何千㎞も泳ぐことは当然、難しいと思います。

渡り鳥は太陽や星の位置で場所をとらえているといわれますが、サケに関しては、いまだに謎が多いそうです。


ということで、今回はサケと水族館について話しました。
今回も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！
