cí mǔ shǒu zhōng xiàn ， yóu zǐ shēn shàng yī 。
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
lín xíng mì mì féng ， yì kǒng chí chí guī 。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
shéi yán cùn cǎo xīn ， bào dé sān chūn huī 。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
【注释】
1．游子：在古时候泛指远游旅居的人。
2．意恐：担心。
3．寸草心：寸草，比喻子女；心，指小草的茎干，也暗指子女的心意。
4．三春晖：春天灿烂的阳光，此处比喻慈母的恩情。
【译文】
慈爱的母亲用手中的针线，为外出远行的儿子缝制衣裳。
在他临行之前，一针一线密密地缝制着，只因为担心儿子迟迟不能归来。
有谁敢说，子女像小草一样微弱的孝心，
可以报答慈母像春晖一样温暖的恩情呢？

Episode #12 - The seasons in Hokkaido

Halo semua! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Baik? 
Akhir-akhir ini pekerjaan saya sangat banyak dan harus selesai sebelum tenggat waktu (締切・deadline). Jadi hampir setiap malam saya begadang. “Begadang” di Bahasa Jepang artinya 遅くまで起きている, di Bahasa Inggris artinya “stay up late”. Ya, saya tahu ini tidak baik untuk kesehatan. Dan karena sering begadang, setiap hari saya minum kopi lebih dari 4 cangkir, juga menjadi lapar di malam hari. Aduh! Saya harus mulai diet lagi! Kalian juga jangan sering begadang ya, selamat beraktifitas! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya!
