Lily's Chinese 对话

20240210威尼斯的小艇

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

Will robots replace teachers? Improve your listening

みなさん、こんにちは。MAMIKOです。
今日は人間関係についてお話したいと思います。

皆さんは人間関係は自分の鏡という考え方を知っていますか？

この考え方は、「他人の態度や出来事は、自分の内面をや行動パターンを映し出している」あるいは、
「相手の中に見える嫌な部分や扱われ方は自分が自分にしていることと関係している」
というものです。
だから相手を変えようとするより、自分の行動を変える方が現実が変わりすいと言われています。

私は昨日仕事で、相手の方から「後回しにしてしまってすみません」と言われました。
私が自分のことを後回しにしているから、自分の身に起こっているのかもしれないと気が付きました。
そして家族の予定か自分の予定のどちらを優先させるか考えていることがあったので、自分のやりやりたいことを優先して、すぐに自分の予定を入れました。

偶然、母も別件で後回しにされていることにプリプリしていたので、母も自分のことを後回しにしているんだろうなと思い、「自分のことを後回しにしているからだよ」と伝えてみました。

皆さんも、相手の行動で悩んでいることはありませんか？
そんな時は、まず自分の行動を見直してみると、人生うまくいくかもしれせんよ！
是非やってみてくださいね！

In this story, a piece of toast named Buttersy has an uncomfortable bus ride to work. How will she deal with the terrible smell? This is Part 3 of 5. 

The bus kept going as the morning sun rose higher and higher. The candy passengers begun to seem uncomfortable. They wiped sweat off their foreheads and fanned themselves using their wrappers. The temperature was rising. 

Buttersy had a painful look on her face as she sniffed. “What’s that smell?” 

She scanned the bus and found the offender. 

In the middle of the bus was a middle-aged piece of cheesecake. He sat at the window and almost took up two seats because of his size. He was sweating, breathing heavily and groaning. The passenger next to him left her seat and decided to stand at the front. 

“Ugh, it’s disgusting,” said Buttersy, now holding her nose, not worried about what others will think. “How can he be so inconsiderate? A thing like that shouldn’t leave the house without a wrapper!” 

Choco laughed, knowing that Buttersy wasn’t serious, but only expressing her frustration. He said, “This is public life. Just keep breathing through your mouth; we’re not far from our stop.” 

Buttersy held her nose, getting angrier and angrier. She noticed the bus was equipped with a huge air conditioning system, but it was only blowing a tiny breeze. 

“What’s going on!? Are these candies all crazy?” she said, noticing how the others just tolerated the sour smell that filled the bus. “I’d prefer to have a bird peck out my eyes than this.” 

As the journey continued, the smell only got worse and worse.

好久不见啦各位，我是Honglin老师。这是我的汉字频道的第六条推送。
今天要和你们分享的字，可能你们再熟悉不过了，那就是，明，明亮的明，明天的明。

这个字呢，很多人在刚开始学习汉字的时候，就学过，因为它实在是用来学习会意字的绝佳例子。“明”，是一个左右结构的字，左边是“日”，是我们的太阳，右边是“月”，是我们的月亮。从地球上看去，天空中最亮的是什么，当然是我们的太阳和月亮。那把它们放在一起，意思就是明亮，不黑。

学习会意字最有意思的一点就是，当我们想想某一个字为什么要这么写时，我们不得不去想象古人的生活。就像这里的“明”字，在没有电灯的古代，太阳和月亮就是照亮着古人的唯一光亮。我们好像穿越到了古代，面对面地感受古人的生活。这也是汉字的最大魅力之一。

那“明”字搭配的词语也是很多，今天给大家分享一句俗语，“明人不做暗事”。这里的明人不是指全身发光的人哈，是指心地光明的人。暗事呢，是偷偷摸摸做的事。比如说，你今天在公司被某一个同事欺负了，你的朋友就建议你偷偷地给那个同事喝的水里加盐，报复他。但是你觉得你是一个心地光明的人，如果对那个同事有意见，那就当面和他沟通，不能在他背后做欺负他的事。于是你就可以说，“哎呀，算了，明人不做暗事。我下次见到他，和他当面讲”。这就是明人不做暗事，有意见只会当面提出来，不会在背后捣鬼。

你学会了吗。
