In this episode, we’ll explore the difference between 收到 (shōudào) and 接受 (jiēshòu)! At first glance, they might both translate to “receive” or “accept” in English, but in Chinese, they have distinct meanings. One is more objective, while the other involves personal acceptance. Want to know how to use them correctly? Tune in and learn with real-life examples!

Receive or Accept? 收到 vs 接受

【键盘侠】
这种人在现实生活中对周边的人或者事物冷漠不关心，喜欢用手机或者电脑在网络上对他人进行批评、侮辱、道德谴责等等。
 比如，现实中，如果遇到一个人被欺负，键盘侠会假装看不见，然后悄悄离开，但是，如果在网络上看到有人被欺负的新闻，键盘侠会立马写评论指责他人为什么不帮助那个受害者。这就是键盘侠。

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の４回目です。大学の授業が始まりました。授業はオンラインです。日本でオンラインの授業が一般的になったのは、コロナウイルスが始まってからです。教授はまだZoomの操作に慣れていなくて、生徒の中には70代ぐらいの人もいたので、最初の授業ではトラブルがたくさん起こりました。
Hello. This is episode 4 of season 2 of my podcast. University classes have started. The classes are online. Online classes became common in Japan after the spread of the coronavirus. The professor was not yet familiar with how to work Zoom and some of the students were in their 70s, so there were a lot of technical problems in the first class.
今は仏教の歴史について勉強しています。ブッダの人生についての話です。ブッダについて書かれているインドの古い本では、正確な年号や情報がわからないため、仏教の研究は難しいそうです。インドで生まれた仏教の教えは、中国で翻訳されて、それから日本に伝わっています。そして京都や奈良にたくさんお寺が建てられました。なので、日本語にはインドから伝わった言葉が少しあります。ヨーロッパの言語とインドの言語は同じ言語から派生していますね。「派生する」とは、一つのものから生まれて、いろいろな種類に分かれることです。歴史を勉強すると、いろんな国の文化は同じルーツを持っているということがよくわかります。
Now I am studying about the history of Buddhism. It is about the life of Buddha. It is said that it is difficult to research Buddhism because the exact dates of events and the accuracy of information in the old Indian books about the Buddha are unclear. The teachings of Buddhism, which originated in India, were translated in China and then introduced to Japan. Then many temples were built in Kyoto and Nara. So the Japanese language has a few words that came from India. So European languages and Indian languages are Hasei-shiteiru from the same language. ‘Hasei-suru’ (to derive) means to come from one thing and divide into many different kinds of thing. Studying history, it is easy to see that the cultures of various countries have the same roots.
そして、今日はレッスンでAIの話をしました。生徒さんに、論文を作るAIの話を聞きました。このAIはプログラミングのバグを見つけたりするのに便利だそうですが、記事や、メールや、論文を書くこともできます。生徒さんに実際にAIが書いた論文を見せてもらいました。不自然なところはほとんどありませんでした。しかも、論文は日本語で書かれていました。とても驚きました。将来、学校の課題はなくなってしまうかもしれません。最近日本では、漫画やアニメのイラストを作るAIが人気ですが、著作権などが問題になっています。

S2 Ep4. 論文を作るAI

Nowadays, conference calls are the norm. Whether your team members live within a 30-minute radius of one another or live on different continents, you’ll likely conduct all meetings over conference calls. 

By now, you know some of the perils of conference calls. Someone forgets to mute themselves, and you hear them breathing or eating their lunch, someone forgets to unmute themselves when they start talking, someone is talking, and then their kid or spouse barges in their office making noise. No matter what unusual situation unfolds during a conference call, someone has to manage the conversation and make it as effective as possible. 

In this episode, you will learn how to lead conference calls. We’ll focus on audio conference calls, not video conference calls, which deserve their own episode.

How to Lead Conference Calls

In this episode we are going to learn how to talk about【doing something】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
