5 minutes Turkish everyday

1.	我認為，上帝造人有點過高估計了自己的能力。

（I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.）

2.	永遠原諒敵人，沒有什麼能比這個讓他們更惱火。

（Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.）

3.	我什麼都能抗拒，除了誘惑。

（I can resist everything except temptation.）

4.	為了贏回我的青春，我什麼都願意做，除了鍛煉、早起、做個對社會有用的人。

（To win back my youth, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community.）

5.	年輕的時候，我以為錢是人生最重要的，現在我老了，我懂了，確實如此。

（When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.）

6.	人生中只有一件事比被人議論更糟糕，那就是：無人議論你。

（There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.）

7.	時裝是一種讓人無法忍受的醜陋，所以我們必須每六個月換一次。

（Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.）

8.	我們都在陰溝裏，但有些人在仰望星空。

（"We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". ）

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.......... 

If you'd like to read the rest of the transcript, send me a message on italki and I will gladly send you a copy. Or better still, book a lesson with me now, so that I can help you on your English learning journey.

#3 初雪（はつゆき）N5/N4

桜は、まだ五分咲きです。/花の話③
Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今週(こんしゅう)は、花の話(はなし)をします。🌸

きのうは、桜(さくら)の開花(かいか)についてはなしましたね。

桜が咲(さ)いてからも、まいにちニュースで桜の話があります。

え、なんで？
もう桜は咲いてるのに？！

と思いますよね。

じつは、"いま、どのぐらい咲いているのか"についてのニュースがあります。

どのくらい‥10%くらい？

それとも、50%くらい？

このとき、桜につかう日本語があります。

それが、「〇〇咲き」(まるまるざき)

という、ことばです。

たとえば、30%くらいの桜は、

「三分咲き」(さんぶざき)

といいます。

30%は咲いていて、
のこりの70%はまだ咲いていないことです。

ほかにも、
「五分咲き」(ごぶざき)は半分(はんぶん)くらいの桜のこと。

「七分咲き」(ななぶざき)は

70%の桜が咲いていることです。

そして、すべての桜が咲いていることを

"満開"(まんかい)といいます。

すべての花が開(ひら)くことですね。

友達(ともだち)との会話(かいわ)では、

「あそこの桜を見に行く？」

「え、でもまだ五分咲きだよー。

来週(らいしゅう)にしない？」

といいます。

桜が満開なのは、すごくみじかいです。

だいたい、1週間(いっしゅうかん)くらいです。
雨がふると、もっとみじかくなります。

でも、桜が満開のときに、日本に来てほしいです😊

三分咲きや五分咲きの桜も、きれいですが‥

やっぱり満開のときは、ほんとうにきれいです。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。
