Bir yay günü

-----script-----
私は4年ほど前から寒暖差アレルギーに悩まされています。
寒暖差アレルギーは英語で、vasomotor rhinitisというそうです。
気温の差が原因の鼻炎のようなものです。暖かい場所から寒い場所に移動すると鼻水やくしゃみがとまらなくなる、という症状があります。
私は特に冬、寒いときに外でジョギングをすると、毎回この寒暖差アレルギーがひどくなってしまいます。
漢方薬を飲むと、一時的に良くなりますが、ジョギングをするとまたひどくなってしまいます。
鼻水のせいで呼吸が上手くできないし、鼻をかみすぎて、鼻や口の周りも痛くなるし踏んだり蹴ったりです。
この寒暖差アレルギーを治すには、規則正しい生活をすることが一番大切だそうです。これは私にとって一番難しいことですが、今年は頑張って克服したいです。

Lettura del settimo capitolo del libro "Il Piccolo Principe" di Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

📖 IL PICCOLO PRINCIPE di Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

🌖 CAPITOLO 7

TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE LA PASTORA QUE ENCONTRO UNA FLAUTA MAGICA.


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Había una vez una joven pastora. Un día se encontró una flauta. Era una flauta
mágica que hacía bailar a todo el mundo.

Una tarde, el herrero del pueblo oyó la música de la flauta y empezó a bailar sin
poder parar. Se enfadó tanto que dijo a los vecinos que la pastora era una bruja.

Entonces, todos decidieron echar del pueblo a la joven.

Pero, antes de irse, la pastora les pidió que le dejaran tocar la flauta. Y en cuanto
la oyeron, todos se pusieron a bailar. Los vecinos se lo pasaron tan bien que
decidieron que la pastora se quedara en el pueblo con ellos.
