Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私はいま、マレーシアにいます。

海外旅行(かいがいりょこう)をするとき、
なやむこと・・それはお金(かね)ですね。

日本では円(えん)ですが、
マレーシアでは、リンギットです。

日本にいるときは、ほとんど現金(げんきん)をつかいませんでした。

現金とは、お札(さつ)やコイン、
お金そのもののことです。

たとえば、

「このおみせは、現金だけしかつかえません。」

「現金のほかに、クレジットカードやQRコードもつかえますよ。」

「カードはつかえますか？」
「すみません、現金だけです。」

というかんじでつかいます。

日本では、昔(むかし)ながらのお店(みせ)やスーパーでは、
現金だけのところがあります。

みなさんの国では、どうですか？
現金だけ、のところはおおいですか？

きのう、マレーシアで電車(でんしゃ)にのりました。

現金だけしか、つかえませんでした。

しかもお札(さつ)は使えず、コインだけでした。

ちょっと大変(たいへん)でした。

電車に乗るまでに、20分ぐらい、かかりました。

これも旅のいい思い出(おもいで)です。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

El gallo y la comadreja

엄마, 방금 파리가 창문으로 들어왔어요.
妈, 刚才苍蝇从窗户进来了。

빨리 잡자! 음식에 떨어지면 큰일이야!
快点儿抓它! 落在菜上就糟了! 

저는 우선 창문이랑 문을 닫을 테니까 엄마는 파리채를 가지고 와주세요. 我先把窗户和门关上, 妈把苍蝇拍儿拿过来吧。 

좋아! 지금 파리 잡자!
好! 我们现在抓苍蝇吧! 

파리 苍蝇
떨어지다 落
파리채 苍蝇拍儿
잡다 抓

엄마, 방금 파리가 창문으로 들어왔어요. 妈, 刚才苍蝇从窗户进来了。

Staying healthy can be difficult — it might mean we don't always get to eat and drink the things we want.

Sometimes we have to sacrifice some sweet things because we know they're not such a good idea!

But how far would you go to make sure you have a healthy diet?

A new survey has found that almost a quarter of people in the UK don't enjoy their meals because they put health before taste.

That means they're choosing to eat meals they don't like just because they're healthy.

However, the survey, by a bread company called Warburtons, also found that 74% of people aged between 25 and 44 aren't quite sure how to eat a balanced diet.

So it's perhaps not a surprise that people are eating meals they don't enjoy!

It's true that foods full of sugar, salt and butter can taste good, but experts say that healthy meals can taste great too.

And we can still enjoy some tasty things as part of a healthy diet.

In fact, some experts say that we shouldn't think of foods as "good" or "bad" — we should be able to enjoy everything in moderation.

This is something that older adults are better at, according to the survey, which included 2,000 people in the UK.

Adults over the age of 65 were most likely to put their enjoyment first when making food. Younger people admitted to eating meals in front of others to look like they're healthy — even if they don't like the food.
