Grey Cells Dose

这位因为刚刚有了一个臣民而十分骄傲自得的国王说道：“别走，别走。我任命你当大臣。”
"Do not go," said the king, who was very proud of having a subject. "Do not go. I will make you a Minister!"
什么大臣？
Minister of what?
嗯……司法大臣！
Minster of–of Justice!
可是，这儿没有一个要审判的人。
But there is nobody here to judge!
“很难说呀，”国王说道。“因此我还没有巡视过我的王国呢！”
"We do not know that," the king said to him. "I have not yet made a complete tour of my kingdom."
我很老了，我这地方又小，没有放銮驾的地方，
I am very old. There is no room here for a carriage.
另外，一走路我就累。
And it tires me to walk.
“噢！可是我已经看过了。”小王子说道，并探身朝星球的那一侧看了看。
"Oh, but I have looked already!" said the little prince, turning around to give one more glance to the other side of the planet.
那边也一个人都没有…
On that side, as on this, there was nobody at all...
“那么你就审判你自己呀！”国王回答他说。“这可是最难的了。
"Then you shall judge yourself," the king answered. "that is the most dificult thing of all.
审判自己比审判别人要难得多啊！
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
你要是能审判好自己，你就是一个真正有才智的人。
If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.
我吗，随便在什么地方我都可以审度自己。
"Yes," said the little prince, but I can judge myself anywhere.
我没有必要留在这里。
I do not need to live on this planet.
国王又说：“嗯…嗯…我想，在我的星球上有一只老耗子。”

"Hum! Hum!" said the king. "I have good reason to believe that somewhere on my planet there is an old rat."
夜里，我听见它的声音。
I hear him at night.
你可以审判它，不时地判处它死刑。
You can judge this old rat. From time to time you will condemn him to death.
因此它的生命取决于你的判决。
Thus his life will depend on your justice.
可是，你要有节制地使用这只耗子，每次判刑后都要赦免它。
But you will pardon him on each occasion; for he must be treated thriftily.
因为只有这一只耗子。
He is the only one we have.
“可是我不愿判死刑，我想我还是应该走。”小王子回答道。
"I," replied the little prince, "do not like to condemn anyone to death. And now I think I will go on my way."
“不行。”国王说。
"No," said the king.
但是小王子，准备完毕之后，不想使老君主难过，
说道：“如果国王陛下想要不折不扣地得到服从，你可以给我下一个合理的命令。”
比如说，你可以命令我，一分钟之内必须离开。
我认为这个条件是成熟的…
国王什么也没有回答。起初，小王子有些犹疑不决，
随后叹了口气，就离开了…
“我派你当我的大使。”国王匆忙地喊道。
国王显出非常有权威的样子。
小王子在旅途中自言自语地说：“这些大人真奇怪。”

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

生徒さんにあった話を前回のPodcastで話しました。
その後に、白鶴酒造資料館に行ってきましたので、その時の話を簡単にします。

白鶴は日本のお酒を作る会社です。
神戸の灘という地域は、日本の中でも酒どころとして有名なようです。この地域には、良質の水(宮水というそうです)があるので酒造りに適していた、ということですね。

そして、この資料館は、1910年代に建てられた建物を1982年に資料館に変えたそうです。

ここでは、酒造りの工程を知ることができます。
洗米ーせんまい
蒸米ーむしまい
放冷ーほうれい
麹室ーこうじむろ
酛仕込みーもとしこみ
三段仕込みーさんだんじこみ
上槽ーじょうそう
滓引き、火入れーおりびき、ひいれ
貯蔵ーちょぞう
樽詰ーたるづめ
という工程があるようです。

たくさんの工程がありますね。
僕もはじめて聞く言葉がたくさんあります。

そしてきき酒もありました。
3種類の日本酒を飲むことができました。
その中の1つにゆずのフレーバーが入っている日本酒がありましたが、とてもフルーティで美味しかったです！

僕はお酒をあまり飲まないですし、日本酒もあまり興味がありませんでしたが、作られている工程を知ったりすると、他の飲み物や食べ物と共通点を見つけたりできで興味がわきますね！

個人的には、3つ目の工程、放冷というところの作業がコーヒーを乾燥させる工程と似ていたので、とてもおもしろかったです。ここで一気に興味をひかれました。

ここは無料で入れる資料館です。
お酒が好きな人にとって、とても楽しい場所かもしれませんね！

ということで、今回は白鶴酒造資料館について話しました！
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
