Olympics Opening Ceremony Causes Controversy

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

In this story, a piece of toast named Buttersy has an uncomfortable bus ride to work. How will she deal with the terrible smell? This is Part 3 of 5. 

The bus kept going as the morning sun rose higher and higher. The candy passengers begun to seem uncomfortable. They wiped sweat off their foreheads and fanned themselves using their wrappers. The temperature was rising. 

Buttersy had a painful look on her face as she sniffed. “What’s that smell?” 

She scanned the bus and found the offender. 

In the middle of the bus was a middle-aged piece of cheesecake. He sat at the window and almost took up two seats because of his size. He was sweating, breathing heavily and groaning. The passenger next to him left her seat and decided to stand at the front. 

“Ugh, it’s disgusting,” said Buttersy, now holding her nose, not worried about what others will think. “How can he be so inconsiderate? A thing like that shouldn’t leave the house without a wrapper!” 

Choco laughed, knowing that Buttersy wasn’t serious, but only expressing her frustration. He said, “This is public life. Just keep breathing through your mouth; we’re not far from our stop.” 

Buttersy held her nose, getting angrier and angrier. She noticed the bus was equipped with a huge air conditioning system, but it was only blowing a tiny breeze. 

“What’s going on!? Are these candies all crazy?” she said, noticing how the others just tolerated the sour smell that filled the bus. “I’d prefer to have a bird peck out my eyes than this.” 

As the journey continued, the smell only got worse and worse.

Buttersy the Piece of Toast

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

最近，中国的互联网上悄悄掀起了一股热潮，那就是逃离一线城市，回到家乡创业。一些创业成功的年轻人把他们的故事拍成视频放到网上，引发很多人的关注。这是怎么回事呢？

中国的一线城市，也就是北京、上海、广州和深圳的工作和生活的压力非常大，这是众所周知的事实。这几年，随着中国城市化过程接近尾声，大城市的年轻人也开始悄悄掀起了一小波回乡潮。他们不仅是厌倦了大城市的种种弊病，也向往着乡村生活的归园田居、诗和远方。很多大学生毕业后回到家乡进行农业生产，带领家乡的人们致富。但是也有年轻人回乡不仅仅是种植农作物，还开发了更多的有趣内容。

春天一家是疫情开始的时候从上海回到乡村的。疫情三年，他们几乎没有带过口罩，每天生活在蓝天白云、绿树河流的美景中。仅仅是这一点，就让所有人心生羡慕。三年来，他们改造羊圈建成房屋，院子种满鲜花，还在地里种菜，建乡村图书馆，到后来的设计研学项目，邀请城里的孩子来乡村体验生活。他们的视频不仅获得几十万人的观看，还被中国的中央电视台多次采访、录节目。看着他们用双手辛勤劳动，创造美好生活，在大城市打拼的同龄人纷纷留下羡慕的评语。

他们用自己的智慧，创造了充满希望的和可能性的生活。同时，获得了国家“乡村振兴“政策的扶持和广泛的赞誉。我相信，未来中国的农村是一片创业和生活的广阔天地，更多年轻有为的回乡人将把乡村建设得更美好。让我们拭目以待！

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。

The important topic "Education"
Let's see what education we have got

こんにちは、Mikaです
このポッドキャストでは私の日々の出来事を通して、
日本語をより身近に楽しく感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。
短い間ですがリラックスした気分でどうぞお付き合いください。

さて今日は "思いやりの言葉" を紹介します。
”思いやりの言葉" とはどんな言葉でしょうか？
”思いやり" とは「相手のことを考える」とか「相手と思いを共有する」という意味です。

先日、たこ焼き屋さんでたこ焼きを買いました。
その時に店員さんが私に「有難うございました！
美味しく召し上がれますように」と言ってくれました。
”召し上がれますように" とは "食べられますように" という意味の尊敬語で"買ってくれた人に美味しく食べてもらいたい" という意味になります。
こういった "思いやりの言葉" はその言葉１つで１日中温かい気持ちになるような魔法の言葉だと思います。
実際に私はとても温かい気持ちになって、またこのたこ焼き屋さんに買いに行きたいなと思いました。

皆さんはどんな思いやりの言葉を知っていますか？

例えば、、、
朝お仕事に行く人に　
「いってらっしゃい、気を付けてね！」

優しくしてくれる人に
「いつもありがとう、感謝しているよ」

病気で辛い人に「ゆっくり休んでお大事にしてね」

ご飯を作ってくれた人に
「ご馳走様でした、今日も美味しかったよ」

お仕事を頑張った人に「今日もお仕事お疲れ様！」

ヘアースタイルや洋服をイメージチェンジした人に
「今日のスタイル素敵だね、似合っているよ」とか

”思いやりの言葉" を相手に言うことで、自分も相手も温かい気持ちになって相手とのコミュニケーションやビジネスも上手くいく気がします。

皆さんは最近思いやりの言葉を使っていますか？
忙しい毎日の中で忘れてしまったり、思いやりの気持ちをもてなくなってしまったりするときもあるけど、あなたの周りの大切な人にたくさんの "思いやりの言葉" を使ってみてくださいね。
そうすると自然に周りの人たちもあなたに思いやりの言葉を返してくれると思います。
世界中が "思いやりの言葉" でいっぱいになるといいですね。

それでは今日も笑顔の多い一日を！
またね～
