外婆，好想多一些了解你

有外婆的夏天，格外像夏天，温和的胖老太太讲话轻声细语，走路没有声响，静静地在屋里削土豆、泡茶、剥豆子。我们一放暑假就扎堆儿去乡下。
早上外婆会叫我或我妹去摸几个鸡蛋，刚生的蛋还热热的。外婆常给我们做米酒蛋汤，一人一碗。现在看来，是难得的绿色无污染食品，怪不得我们家的人个个身体倍儿棒。
午后午休，她拿扇子给我们赶蚊子，怕吵醒我们，动作轻柔。我挨着她睡，她的皮肤松弛，好凉好舒服。外婆身上有种令人极度安心的味儿，可能来自棉布、花露水，或者烧饭的油烟。我问外婆，房顶上咚咚咚的是什么声音啊？她说：“是猫在跑呢，睡吧。”

厨房里用的词：
1. 削：削土豆皮，削苹果皮
2. 剥：剥花生，剥豆子，剥香蕉皮，剥桔子皮，剥大蒜皮，
3. 泡：泡茶，泡黄豆，把大米泡一下
4. 烧：烧饭；烧烤，烧茄子，红烧鱼，红烧肉
5. 汤：鸡汤，骨头汤，鸡蛋汤，米酒蛋汤，蔬菜汤
6. 油烟：做饭的时候油烟比较大；油烟机

第五集  外婆，好想多一些了解你（上）

今日は日本の方言について話をしてみます。日本は山が多いので、特に方言が多いのではないかと思いますが、どう思いますか？
Today I talked about dialects in Japan. We have so many different dialects in Japan, but I think it's because we have so many mountains (73% of the land) in Japan.

日常对话 daily conversation

在公司

More and more people are once again booking flights to exciting places around the world.

But as they take their seats, many travelers will remember that spending time with other passengers is not always easy.

Travel website Only Wanderlust surveyed over 1,500 travelers about the most annoying passengers on a plane.

Nine percent of travelers agreed that people who kick your seat are the most annoying passengers. Here are the top 10 on the list.

A passenger who kicks your seat.
A passenger who doesn't smell too nice.
A passenger who talks loudly.
A passenger who pulls on — or pushes against — your seat.
A drunk passenger.
Crying babies or children.
A passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
A passenger wearing strong smelling perfume.
A passenger who doesn't wear their mask correctly.
A passenger who snores when sleeping.
Number seven on the list is a topic that is often discussed.

In the survey, Only Wanderlust asked if passengers have a right to recline their seats, and almost two out of three travelers said that they did.

The website also asked some airline companies about the right to recline. None of the airlines said they had a policy on this topic. But they recommended talking to the passenger in front or behind, or if there is an argument, asking a member of staff for help.

As for crying babies: they can't really help it. But as we get older, perhaps we can all try to think about the people around us when we're on a plane.
