#4 よみきかせ【しあわせ】  

Things could always be worse - my story of putting things into perspective. 

In a universe of randomness 

Put it into perspective 

Acha que todos os brasileiros se cumprimentam com abraços e beijos? Não é assim que funciona. No Brasil, a forma como você interage fisicamente ao dizer "Oi'" ou se despedir pode depender do gênero e até mesmo da sexualidade. De soquinhos a beijos e abraços, essas saudações não são tão universais quanto você imagina. A maneira como elas tendem a acontecer entre os homens heterossexuais brasileiros é o que pode fazer você repensar o que sabe sobre cumprimentar alguém na cultura brasileira. Assista para aprender algumas regras sociais sutis por trás das saudações brasileiras.

ふたりは 小道を歩きながら、たくさんのことを話しました。
「どうやら ぼくは、この『森』が好きになったよ」
「スキ？『スキ』ってなに？」
「ん？『好き』は・・・『好き』だよ」
「しらないわ、そんな言葉」
「ここには『好き』という言葉がないのかい？」
「それはいったい、なんなの？」
あらためて説明を もとめられると 言葉につまります。
「えっと・・・たとえなにかを犠牲にしても守りたい、という きもちの ことだよ」
「じゃあ、『スキ』が ある いじょう、なにかが犠牲になってしまうことが あるということね？」
ヨナヨナのその言葉は、カンパネラが いままで かんがえもしなかったことでした。

「自分の好きなものを こわす人を うらんだり、自分の大切なものを うばう人を ねたんだり・・・
そうして、空中帝国では まいにちのように 争いがおこっている」
「争いの原因は『スキ』のせいなのね。いますぐ『スキ』なんていう感情はすてるべきだわ」
「それはむりだよ。『好き』という感情は、ながい時間をかけて 空中帝国に住む ぼくたちの
　からだに しみついてしまったものだから」
「私には『スキ』という きもちが理解できない。
　そんなきもちが あることで、犠牲が生まれるなんて信じられないわ。」
ふたりは、人間の世界が ふたつに わかれた原因が、すこしだけ わかったような気がしました。

New Year Greetings(special program)

CONNIE: Oh! What a beautiful cat. What do you think?
GARY: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
CONNIE: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk 
it every single day? And clean up after it?
GARY: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
CONNIE: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. 
And I don’t really know how to take care of a bird or a fish!
GARY: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.
CONNIE: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk 
about it.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Oh! What a beautiful cat “Oh!” is used to show surprise or excitement. “What a …” is 
an expression that means “I think this is a very …” “What a(n) …” is followed by an 
adjective, which is usually emphasized. Notice the emphasis on “beautiful” here.
• Dogs are more loyal than cats. Two things are being compared here (dogs and 
cats). Notice the structure of the sentences: (noun/s) plus “is/are more” plus 
(adjective) plus “than” plus (noun/s). The nouns and the adjective are content words 
here, so they are all emphasized.
• Every single day Notice that each word here is stressed. The speaker wants to make 
a point, so she emphasizes each word equally. “Every single day” is a lot!
• Good point here means “I agree with you.”
• Take care of This phrase is used with animals, people and things. It can mean 
“watch a child while her parents are away,” “feed and house someone or 
something,” or “make sure things work properly.” (I always take care of my baby 
brother./ I take care of my bird by feeding it and cleaning its cage./ I need to take 
care of the broken sink.)
• Yeah, you’re right. Notice the pronunciation of this expression — the words all 
blend together here. This casual expression is used to agree with someone that you 
know well.
