【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は7月3日水曜日、「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日はアニメ『ハイキュー!!』と「球（きゅう）」という言葉についてお話しします。

🌸皆さん、アニメ『ハイキュー!!』は好きですか？

このアニメは、バレーボールをする高校生たちのお話です。とても人気がありますね。実は、「ハイキュー」は日本語でバレーボールのことです。「排球」という漢字もあります。

「排球」の「球（きゅう）」は、「たま」と読むこともできます。「球」はボールのことです。ですから、「球」の漢字がつくスポーツは、すべてボールを使ったスポーツを意味します。

例えば、⚾野球です。「野球」の「球」もボールのことです。野球は日本でとても人気のあるスポーツです。日本のプロ野球や高校野球は特に人気がありますね。毎年夏には高校野球の全国大会があり、多くの人が感心を持ってます。

次に、🏓卓球です。「卓球」の「球」もボールのことです。卓球は小さいボールを使うスポーツです。テーブルのようなものの上で、ラケットを使って、ボールを打ち合うスポーツです。中国がとても強いですね。速くて面白いスポーツです。

では、他にも「球」がつくスポーツをいくつか紹介しましょう。実は、たくさんあります。

例えば、「庭球（ていきゅう）」というスポーツがあります。これはテニスのことです。「庭」と書いて「球」と書きます。テニスもボールを使うスポーツです。

次は、「蹴球（しゅうきゅう）」です。これはサッカーのことです。「蹴る」と書いて「球」と書きます。ボールを足で強く打つスポーツですね。サッカーは世界中でとても人気があり、日本でも多くの人が楽しんでいます。

普段は「バレー」「テニス」「サッカー」とカタカナで言いますが、昔からの言い方もあります。不思議なのは、「野球」と「卓球」は、昔からの日本語の名前で呼ばれています。

では、ここで部活についても少しお話ししましょう。日本の中学校や高校では、ほとんどの生徒が部活に参加します。部活とは、好きなスポーツなどをして楽しむ活動のことです。例えば、バレーボール部、野球部、卓球部、サッカー部、テニス部などがあります。学校の授業が終わった後に活動しますが、朝に練習することもあります。スポーツだけではなく、音楽を演奏する吹奏楽部（すいそうがくぶ）という部活もあります。

このように、いろいろなスポーツで「球」という言葉が使われます。

ここで、皆さんに問題です。「球」は何のことですか？
	1.	山のこと
	2.	海のこと
	3.	ボールのこと
正解は「3. ボールのこと」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。『ハイキュー!!』と「球」という言葉について、楽しんでいただけましたか？これからも日本語の勉強を頑張ってくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

Episode 6: Meeting my son from school

I sitdown with Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker. He is also the voice of the Slow Movement. 

After working with street children in Brazil, Carl covered Europe and South America for the Economist, Observer, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, National Post (Canada), Time and other publications. 

His first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism”.

Carl’s second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement”.

Carl’s third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.

His fourth book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Ageing, is a spirited manifesto against ageism.

Carl recently published his first children’s book, It’s The Journey Not the Destination
Published in 36 languages, Carl has landed on bestseller lists in many countries. 

In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina’s version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. 

Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. 

Bolder was also a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week as well as a Reader’s Digest (UK) Book of the Month.

Carl featured in a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia’s ABC 1.

Carl lives in London. While researching his first book on slowness he was slapped with a speeding ticket.

When the end of the working week arrives, it can be a little harder to keep going.

If you work from Monday to Friday, you might find yourself thinking about the weekend as your brain and body get ready to rest. You may feel that you're getting less work done.

You might even feel this way near the end of each work day.

And a study from the US has found that yes, it's true — we aren't as productive and we make more mistakes in the afternoons, especially on Fridays.

While most of us could probably have guessed that result, the researchers said most studies in the past have just asked workers about their feelings related to their productivity.

But this one actually used data based on computer use, including how fast people typed and the numbers of typos they made.

The researchers, from Texas A&M University, looked at the computer use of 789 employees working from the office of a big company in Texas.

They studied them for two years and looked at their computer use at different times of the day and week.

And they found that computer use "dropped significantly" on Fridays.

One of the researchers, Taehyun Roh, said: "Employees were less active in the afternoons, and made more typos in the afternoons — especially on Fridays."

The authors added that results like this should encourage bosses to think about flexible working arrangements or four-day working weeks to get the best from their employees.
