Tankar på svenska : Att tycka/tänka/tro & Att veta/känna/kunna a1+-a2

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.

NOVA PASSANTE


1. sobre
esta pele branca
um calígrafo oriental
teria gravado sua escrita
luminosa
— sem esquecer entanto
a boca: um
ícone em rubro
tornando mais fogo
suor e susto
tornando mais ácida e
insana a sede
(sede de dilúvio)

2. talvez
um poeta afogado num
danúbio imaginário dissesse
que seus olhos são duas
machadinhas de jade escavando o
constelário noturno:
a partir do que comporia
duzentas odes cromáticas
— mas eu que venero (mais que o ouro verde
raríssimo) o marfim em
alta-alvura de teu andar em
desmesura sobre uma passarela de
relâmpagos súbitos, sei que
tua pele pálida de papel
pede palavras
de luz

3. algum
mozárabe ou andaluz
decerto
       te dedicaria
um concerto
            para guitarras mouriscas
e cimitarras suicidas
(mas eu te dedico quando passas
no istmo de mim a isto
este tiroteio de silêncios
esta salva de arrepios)

Brazilian Poems and Literature

Nova passante - Carlito Azevedo

I'm going to talk about an article of newspaper, which is about one Japanese company that have been making it for 50 years! It... it is a narrow house with a red roof. It's usually put around kitchen for them!  
***********************************************
先日、新聞を読んでいたら、こんな記事がありました。

アース製薬の「ごきぶりホイホイ」が、今春、発売５０年を迎えた。

５０年間、ずっと　ゴキちゃんを何とかしたい日本中の人たちが　使っていたということか～と感心していると、

記事と一緒に掲載されている１枚の写真に目が行きました。　その写真では、女性従業員が　右手にサウジアラビア向けHOYHOYを、左手にアメリカ向けHOYHOYを持って、にこやかに笑っています。

へえ～！！！

ごきぶりホイホイって日本だけじゃなくて、世界でつかわれていたんだ！

ホンダ、トヨタの車が世界で販売されているのは知っていたけど、こんなものまで…という驚きでいっぱいでした。

ところで、５０年というと、私より少し歴史が若いということになります。
それで、思い出したのですが、そういえば、私が子どものころは、ホイホイなかったな・・・
確か、ゴキブリやハエとかが出てきたら、ハエたたきを持って、パシッと一撃！　ハエたたきというのは、プラスティックでできた　長さが５０㎝ほどの棒の先に　約１０センチ四方ぐらいの板状のものがついているものです。それで、ゴキブリやハエを追いかけて、狙いを定めて、叩くのです。とても原始的なやり方で　家の中の害虫を　やっつけていました。

ときに大きめのゴキちゃんが、黒く光った羽をひろげて、パア～と飛んだりすると、もう絶叫です。「うきゃ～～！！！」って叫びながら、ハエたたきを握りしめて　逃げたものです。

それがあるときから、紙でできた赤い屋根の細長い家のおかげで、ずいぶんゴキちゃん事情が変わったと思います。ハエたたきで追いかけることも、ほとんどなくなったと思います。

今は、さらに進化したゴキちゃん用商品が出ているので、ほとんどゴキちゃんに会うことはなくなりました。でも、「１匹見たら、１００匹はいる」ということらしいので、たぶんどこかにたくさん潜んでいるのだと思います。

おーい、ゴキちゃん、勝手に人ん家に住まないで！家の人より大勢で住むなら　家賃払ってよね！


やさしい日本語（にほんご）

来ないで！　Don’t come!

Esta es la segunda parte del episodio 47 que puedes escuchar aquí. En él comento las expresiones con dar que no pude comentar en el primero. Las expresiones con dar me parecen muy curiosas, y como la mayoría de las expresiones, necesitamos conocerlas, porque la traducción palabra por palabra, como en la mayoría de las veces con las expresiones, no funciona.

Espero que disfrutes este episodio, y cuando lo hayas escuchado dime si conoces otras expresiones que usan el verbo dar, porque, aunque he hablado de muchas, hay muchas más.
¡No te olvides de seguirme en Instagram (te lo dejo un poco más abajo) y decirme que piensas del episodio!
