El Clima "LOCO" en Sudamérica 🌄🌥️🌎 [Capítulo 12]

Tý phải lòng một anh chàng nha sĩ trẻ, đẹp trai. Thế nên cô thường lấy lý do đi nhổ răng để lén lút đến gặp anh ta. Một hôm, chàng nha sĩ buồn rầu nói:
- Anh nghĩ chúng ta nên dừng lại thôi, chắc chồng em có thể đã bắt đầu nghi ngờ rồi.
Tý ngạc nhiên:
- Làm gì có chuyện đó, chúng ta đã hẹn hò được một năm nay rồi mà chồng em có nói gì đâu.
Chàng nha sĩ khẽ lắc đầu:
- Nhưng em còn có một cái răng thôi, lần sau biết lấy lý do gì để đến gặp anh nữa chứ?

こんにちは、皆さん。お元気ですか？佳子です！今日のテーマは「2年ぶりのサウジアラビアへ～ご馳走～」です。前回もお伝えしましたが、4月にサウジアラビアから帰国したので、しばらくはサウジアラビアに関するエピソードをお届けしたいと思います。今日のフレーズは「断然」です。意味を知らない人はどういう意味か想像しながら聞いてみてくださいね。

前回はサウジアラビアの空港に着いたところで終わりましたね。サウジアラビアに着いた翌日、木曜日の夜に家族みんなで夫の妹の就職祝いと私たちを歓迎する会が行われました。両親、お兄さん家族4人、お姉さん家族3人、弟、妹、私たち3人の計14人が集まりました。こういう家でのお祝いの席は年に数回あるのですが、いつも決まってズィビーハという羊肉が乗ったご飯の料理が出ます。直訳すると「犠牲にされた」という意味になります。中東でよく食べられるお祝いの料理です。大きなお皿にたくさんのご飯と骨付きのカットされた羊肉が豪華に盛り付けられています。以前、2回ほど食べたことがありますが、レストランでテイクアウトしたものでした。今回は違いました。なんと、羊1頭丸々、庭で焼いていたのです。屠殺されて皮がはがれた羊をレストランのスタッフが4-5時間地道に焼いていました。焼けたあとは棒付きのままダイニングテーブルに運ばれました。さすがにお肉の味も断然ジューシーで美味しかったです。ご飯にも肉汁が染み込み、言葉にならない美味しさでした。焼く前の羊の写真をこのスクリプトを書く前に夫に送ってもらったのですが、かなりショッキングな画像でしたね。焼けたあとの画像を日本の友人や両親に送ったら「なんやこれー！！？」て驚かれましたが、焼く前はもっと衝撃的だと思います。
今回、屠殺、つまり動物を殺すのは家に着くまでに行われましたが、家で屠殺して処理する家庭もあるそうです。家で行うとなると、後処理がとんでもなく大変になるので、今ではかなり珍しいみたいですが、日本人の感覚からすると考えられないですね。
日本では動物を食用で殺す際、気絶させてから失血させるノッキング法が取られていますが、イスラムでは生きている状態で喉を切ります。屠殺後は「イスミッラー」（神に誓って）と唱えます。
ちなみに皆さんもご存じだと思いますが、イスラム教徒は豚肉を食べませんし、サウジアラビアでは、一切豚肉や豚肉が入った食品は売られていません。肉といえば、羊肉、牛肉、鶏肉、そしてたまにラクダ肉。サウジのお母さんが作ってくれる夕食は鶏肉、羊肉、牛肉の順で多かったです。日本では豚肉が鶏肉に次いで安く、調理もしやすいのでよく使われていますね。羊肉料理は日本だとジンギスカンとよばれる焼肉が北海道で有名です。
こんな話をしていたら羊肉料理が恋しくなってきました。皆さんもズィビーハ食べてみたいですか？今日のフレーズは「断然」でしたね。一番よくつかわれる意味は「ずばぬけて。なみはずれて。」と「きっぱりと心に決めるさま」です。英語だとby farやdefinitelyです。「このアニメのほうが断然おもしろい。」や「私は断然、朝パン派だよ。」という使い方になります。日常会話でよく使われるので、機会があれば使ってみてくださいね。
それでは、またバイバーイ。

【今日の質問の解答】
①犠牲にされた
②焼く前のラムの写真
③北海道

Do you know how to get better at anything? Athletes do. They work with a coach. 

You don’t have to try to get better at something on your own--a coach can help! Surgeon Atul Gawande says in a popular Ted Talk,  "Great coaches are your external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality." 

Some people seek out coaches proactively. They hire a professional coach to help with their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn Profile, and interview responses before they ever apply for a job. These people undoubtedly get jobs quicker because they hired a coach. However, the majority of people wait too long to get a coach, only seeking out help after a period of failure. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn different approaches to bet better at something and the tremendous career opportunities from working with a coach. You’ll hear how others’ lives have been enriched by working with coaches. I talk about my experience working coaches in Brazil and the US. You’ll also hear a story about one of my clients - an engineer in Taiwan who enlisted my help after trying and failing to get a job for years.  You will find out what type of professional coaches exist and how they can help you. If you want to increase your English vocabulary, continue listening to the end, where you’ll hear definitions of five idioms and phrases that came up during the episode.

How to Get Better At Anything, Including Getting A Job

A Chinese company claims it has built an electric vehicle battery that charges faster than any other.

The company, called Zeekr, says the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes and 30 seconds — but only when the car is plugged into one of the company's super-fast charging stations.

It calls this a new charging speed record, although it can be hard to compare the charging speeds of different vehicles because some charging stations do not work as fast as others.

But, for example, Tesla's Model 3 can be charged to about half its range in 15 minutes.

A number of other EVs can boost their range by almost 200 kilometers with a 10-minute charge.

But Zeekr says that in 10-and-a-half minutes its new battery could be charged enough to boost a vehicle's range by about 500 kilometers.

The first of its cars to include the new battery is the 2025 Zeekr 007, which is on sale in China now.

Zeekr says it has already opened more than 500 of its super-fast charging stations in China, and plans to have 10,000 in 2026.

Chinese companies have been busy making EVs, offering customers a large amount of choice — something that people in some other countries, like the US, have been frustrated by.

As well as operating in China, Zeekr began selling its vehicles in the Netherlands and Sweden last year.

It plans to begin operating in Singapore by the end of 2024, and to open showrooms in Japan and South Korea in 2025.
