はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの16回目です。大阪は今週からだんだん暖かくなっています。来週の予報は、最高気温が10度を超えています。私の実家は東京ですが、大阪は東京に比べると天気がいいです。晴れている日が多いです。寒いと電気代が高くなるので、早く春になってほしいですね。

Hi, This is the podcast episode 16. It has been getting warmer and warmer in Osaka this week. The forecast for next week is for a high of over 10 degrees Celsius. I’m from Tokyo, and the weather in Osaka is much nicer than in Tokyo. It is sunny most days. I hope spring will come soon because the cold weather will make our electricity bill higher.

もうすぐ春なので、最近は引越しをする人が多いです。日本では、3月から4月は学校や会社が始まるシーズンで、学生や新社会人が一人暮らしを始めるからです。私も授業で、生徒さんとよく引越しの話をします。国によって引越しのシステムやプロセスが違うので面白いですね。

It's almost spring, so many people are moving out these days. In Japan, March-April is the season for schools and companies to start, and it's because students and those who just graduated school and became working adults start living alone. In my classes, I often talk about moving with my students. It's interesting because the system and process of moving differs from country to country.

日本で家を借りるときは、ほとんどの場合、不動産業者と契約をします。まず不動産業者のウェブサイトを見て、希望に合う部屋を探します。広さや、駅からの距離や、築年数が書かれています。「築年数」とは、建物の古さのことです。建てられてから１年経ったアパートは、「築１年」といいます。日本では新しいアパートのほうが人気があるので、新しいアパートのほうが値段が高いです。建てられて１年未満で、まだ誰も住んでいない家を「新築」といいます。

When you rent a house in Japan, you almost always sign a contract with a real estate agent. The first thing to do is to look at the real estate agent's website and find a room that fits your needs. You will find the size of the room, the distance from the station, and the age of the building. “Chikunensuu” (the age of the building) refers to how old the building is. An apartment built one year ago is said to be “Chiku 1nen” (1 year old building). In Japan, newer apartments are more popular, so newer apartments are more expensive. A house that has been built for less than a year and no one is living in it yet is called “Shinchiku” (newly built).

不管你是不是球迷，接下来这一个多月世界杯这三个字将会充斥在你的耳边。先介绍一下背景，卡塔尔世界杯，世界杯是4年一次，这是第22届。这一次世界杯也创造了历史上的很多第一次。第一次在中东举行，第一次11月份举行，以及第一次花费如此巨大。当然这三件事情是完全关联的。由于主办地在卡塔尔，位于中东地区，气候炎热，正常举办世界杯的六七月份卡塔尔四五十度的天气显然是不适合体育运动的，所以改到了11月份。而卡塔尔为了这一届世界杯特地新建了8座超豪华的球场，100多个新的酒店，一条新的地铁以及新的机场。这让他们的总花费超过了2,200亿美金。这是什么概念呢？4年前的俄罗斯世界杯140亿美金已经是史上之最，而这次的投入直接拉大了一个量级。介绍完背景，再说一个最基础的点。本次世界杯是来自于五大洲32个不同的国家队参加的比赛，所以不同于英超、西甲、欧冠这样子的俱乐部比赛。你可能听说过的曼联、皇马、巴萨、拜仁不会参加世界杯比赛。那么第3个问题就来了，国家队这么多又没有中国队，我应该怎么看比赛呢？作为刚开始看球或者没看过球的朋友来说，那一定是看一些比较精彩的比赛或者关注度比较高的比赛，基本就等同于强队的比赛。这是目前夺冠赔率最高的十支球队，很显然他们的比赛关注度和精彩程度都相对来说会高一点。尤其是德国和西班牙，丹麦和法国还同分一组。这一届世界杯的比赛时间不算很差，当然也不算特别友好。虽然卡塔尔和咱们同属亚洲，但是还是有5个小时的时差。小组赛前两轮，还有一些时间比较友好的比赛，比如6点和9点。从小组赛第3轮开始，比赛时间相对来说就不是很好，都是晚上11点和3点这个时间点。当然了，对于老球迷来说这些时间点并不陌生。如果你只想看非常高水平的强强对话，小组赛里面为你挑出了这5场比赛。很不巧，都是比较深夜的时间，而且刚好是连续三天晚上的深夜。进入淘汰赛，基本上应该都是强强对话了。即使有可能会出现黑马，它的实力当然也会非常不俗。最后到底是哪两支球队站在12月18号的决赛赛场上，我们拭目以待。
