先週ドイツに来てから初めて寿司を作りました。
大家さんのお孫さんが寿司を作ったというのを聞いて、私も作ってみようと思ったことがきっかけでした。
寿司を作るには魚などの具材、すし飯、のりが必要です。
のりとお米、寿司飯（すしめし）を作るのに必要な米のお酢は近くのスーパーでも売っていました。
しかし、私が住んでいるドイツの田舎町では生の魚がほとんど手に入りません。
近くのスーパーにカニかまぼこがあったので、それとアボガドを使い、カリフォルニアロールをつくることにしました。
まず、すし飯を用意しました。ご飯を炊くにも私の家には炊飯器がないので、鍋で炊かなければなりません。また、寿司飯には専用のお酢が必要です。日本なら寿司酢(すしず)という商品が売っていますが、ドイツでは砂糖を加えて自分で作らないといけません。

面倒なことが多かったのですが、上手くできました。
寿司を作るのは久しぶりだったので、Youtubeで作り方を何度も確認してから作りました。
ちなみにドイツに住んでいる日本人はスモークサーモンを使ってお寿司を作ることが多いようです。
次回はスモークサーモンを使って作ってみたいと思います。

孫：まご　grand children
具材：ぐざい　ingredients for stuffing
生の：なまの　fresh
手に入る：てにはいる　be able to get or buy
カニかまぼこ：imitation crab, fish cake
アボガド：avocado
お酢：おす　vinegar
ご飯を炊く：ごはんをたく　cook rice
炊飯器：すいはんき　rice cooker
鍋：なべ　pot
面倒（めんどう）なこと：troublesome work or thing
久しぶり：ひさしぶり　for the first time in years

中秋节快到啦！The Mid-Autumn Festival is Coming！

Narrator: The challenge for modern-day employees is to​evolve as the world is rapidly changing around them. You may not change, but the skills required to do your job well. In the last decade, ​automation has already had an impact on the number of jobs, and there are fears that this isn’t going to slow. Learning new skills allow workers to stay​relevant and competitive, even in the face of changes in their industry. It doesn’t have to be vastly time-consuming. Something such as improving your​Word or Excel skills, or learning basic code, to make you more efficient is a start. Yet, investing in more up-to-date abilities is a good idea. A good starting point is job-specific skills, but personal skills are also worth looking into. For example, if you find it difficult to cope under pressure, you may want to look into ​self-management. Communication is another area worth considering. You may want to look at, not only how you express yourself, but also your ability to ​actively listen when others are talking and incorporate their feedback and ideas into what you do. With globalization, another ​fundamental skill these days is intercultural awareness. So, there are a variety of options for us to improve our working knowledge.

Upskilling

Shipbuilding today is based on science and ships are built using computers and sophisticated tools. Shipbuilding in ancient Rome, however, was more of an art relying on estimation, inherited techniques and personal experience. The Romans were not traditionally sailors but mostly land- based people, who learned to build ships from the people that they conquered  namely the Greeks and the Egyptians.

There are a few surviving written documents that give descriptions and representations of ancient Roman ships, including the sails and rigging. Excavated vessels also provide some clues about ancient shipbuilding techniques. Studies of these have taught us that ancient Roman shipbuilders built the outer hull first, then proceeded with the frame and the rest of the ship. Planks used to bulld the outer hull were initially sewn together. Starting from the 6th century BCE, they were fixed using a method called mortise and tenon, whereby one plank locked into another without the need for stitching. Then in the first centuries of the current era, Mediterranean shipbuilders shifted to another shipbuilding method, still in use today, which consisted of building the frame first and then proceedlng with the hull and the other components of the ship. This method was more systematic and dramatically shortened ship construction t›mes. The ancient Romans built large merchant ships and warships whose size and technology  were unequalled  until the 16th century CE.
