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。

今日の天気(てんき)は晴(は)れ。
とても暑(あつ)いです。

マレーシアでは、突然(とつぜん)、雨が降(ふ)ります。

晴れているのに、
急(きゅう)に雨が降ります。

「スコール」というものですね。

シンガポールでも、スコールがありました。

だいたい30分ぐらいざーっと降って・・

また、すぐに晴れます。

日本には、スコールはありません。

雨の日は、ずっと雨が降っていることが
多いです。

日本とはまったくちがう天候(てんこう)が、
おもしろいですね。

そういえば、
日本語には、天気の"雨"という言葉もありますが、
おかしの"あめ"という意味もあります。

"あめ"は甘いおかし、キャンディのことですね。

発音(はつおん)がちょっとちがうのですが、

私はふだんは、あまりそこは考(かんが)えていません。
文(ぶん)の中で、意味がわかりますね。

"今日の天気は雨かぁ"というと、

おかしのあめが降ってくるとは思いませんね。


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。
