Episode 18：生まれ変わったら？

I'll talk about how to say ' I want ice cream naturally. You'll learn how to use ' V고 싶다' Vs  'N 원하다'  in this episode.  *V :verb  *N:noun
To say 'to want' 'V고 싶다' is more commonly used in everyday conversations. Whereas 'N 원하다' is not that frequently used because it is more poetic, formal, and literate.

I want to go there. 거기 가고 싶어요.  *거기 there  가다 * to do
I want to eat it.        그거 먹고 싶어요.  *그거 that thing  *먹다 to eat
I want to sleep.        (잠)  자고 싶어요.  *(잠) 자다 to sleep
I want to dance.            춤 추고 싶어요.  *춤 추다 to dance

I want ice cream.        아이스크림 먹고 싶어요.
I want ice water.        시원한 물 마시고 싶어요.   *시원한 물 ice water *마시다 to drink
I want a new iPhone.  새 아이폰 사고 싶어요.     *새 아이폰 new iPhone  *사다 to buy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want world peace.  세계 평화를 원해요.  *세계 평화 World peace
I want love.                  사랑을 원해요.           *사랑 love 

Thank you. 감사합니다.

speaker:   陈丹青  Chén Dānqīng   艺术家、作家、文艺评论家。
代表作品：《西藏组画》，参与了2008年北京奥运会开幕式的策划设计活动。
Chén Dānqīng (born 11 August 1953, Shanghai, China) is a Chinese-American artist, writer, and art critic. He is well known for his realist paintings of Tibetans. Chen participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony with planning and design.
script: 
我从现在年轻人的表达当中我没有看到个性，我看到的是共性。我很少很少看到一个年轻人，给我有个性的表达，让我一惊。我*，这话，他这么说？这么看？我几乎看不到。语言都趋同，表达方式趋同，词语趋同。我不觉得今天的孩子比我们那会儿孩子更有个性，真的一点没有。为什么？还是因为你们每个人有个手机，有一个网络。网络和整个的媒体在教你们怎么说话。然后你们统一性越来越强。
表达   biǎo dá fāng shì；the way they speak
个性   gè xìng；personality 
译文translation:
I can't see the personality in the expressions of young people now, what I see is the commonality. I seldom see a young man who gives me a speech of personality that surprises me. Which can makes me think ‘Why did he say that? Why did he have this idea?’ I can barely see it. Languages are the same, the way they speak are the same, and words are the same. I don't think the young people now have stronger personality than our times, really not at all. Why? That’s because each of you has a cell phone, the Internet and the entire media is teaching you how to speak. Then you guys become more and more unifie.

げんき、第１課36ページ、かいわより。 リスニングとリーディングのれんしゅうです。私が言ったあと、リピートしてください。 2かいめは少しはやいです。 
It‘ｓ for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんき１, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time. 
这是为了你的听力和阅读练习。 即使你有课本，也不要读　げんき１、跟着我重复。 我第二次说得快一点。 

もしあなたが中級（ちゅうきゅう）でも、いいれんしゅうになると思います。 
It should still be good practice even if you are an intermediate-level student.
