AI Explain シュンと日本語。 Shun and Japanese. 皆さんこんばんは。 Good evening, everyone. 日本語教師のシュンです。 I'm Shun, a Japanese teacher. 皆さん、今日はどんな一日でしたか? Everyone, how was your day today? 皆さんの週末はどうでしたか。 How was your weekend? 今週は特別な一週間でしたね。 This week was a special week, wasn't it? 実は私の妻はチリに帰りました。 Actually, my wife returned to Chile. そうなんですよ。 That's right. 妻は一人でチリに帰りました。 My wife went back to Chile alone. 私は今回チリに行きません。 I am not going to Chile this time. あの二週間前ぐらいに、妻のお母さんから妻に電話がありました。 About two weeks ago, my wife's mother called her. お母さんは妻に、「今、おばあさんの体調が本当に悪くなってしまったから、最後にチリにおばあさんに会いに来てほしい」と言っていました。 Her mother said to her, "Now Grandma's health has gotten really bad, so I want you to come to Chile one last time to see Grandma." うん、悲しいですよね。 Yeah, it's sad, isn't it. 私の祖母は元気ですけど、私の祖父は去年亡くなってしまいました。 My grandmother is fine, but my grandfather passed away last year. 私も最後に祖父に会うことができて本当に良かったです。 I am really glad I was able to see my grandfather one last time too. まあでも、私の祖父は急に体調が悪くなって、病気になって亡くなってしまいました。 Well, my grandfather suddenly fell ill, got sick, and passed away. だから、もっと祖父が元気な時に時間を過ごせばよかったなぁと思っています。 So I think I wish I had spent more time with my grandfather when he was healthy. そうですね。 That's true. だから妻はチリに帰ることにしました。 So my wife decided to go back to Chile. 私もチリに行くかどうか、最後までずっと悩んでいました。 I was also worried until the very end about whether to go to Chile or not. でも結局行かないことにしました。 But in the end, I decided not to go. うん。 Yeah. 理由はたくさんあります。 There are many reasons. まず、妻の、妻に本当の家族の時間を過ごしてほしいと思いました。 First, I wanted my wife to spend real family time. うん。 Yeah. 最近妻は、あの、いつも私と一緒にチリに帰っていました。 Lately, my wife, um, always went back to Chile with me. 去年も一緒にチリに帰りましたね。 We went back to Chile together last year too. 私は少しスペイン語を話しますが、私がいるといつも妻は私に翻訳をしてくれます。 I speak a little Spanish, but when I'm around, my wife always translates for me. あと、妻が友達や家族と過ごしている時、いつも私を気にしてくれます。 Also, when my wife spends time with friends and family, she always cares about me. 妻は本当に優しくて私も嬉しいです。 My wife is really kind, and I'm happy too. でも、多分いつも私を気にかけるのは少しストレスだと思います。 But I think maybe always worrying about me is a little stressful for her. あと、妻は今日本に住んでいるので、家族の時間は私みたいに作れませんよね。 Also, since my wife lives in Japan now, she can't make time for family like I can. 私は家族に会いたかったら、いつでも車で会いに行けます。 If I want to see my family, I can always go by car. でも妻は三十五時間飛行機に乗って会いに行かなければいけません。 But my wife has to take a 35-hour flight to go see them. 次はいつチリに帰るかわかりませんよね。 She doesn't know when she'll go back to Chile next, right? だから、妻に本当に私を少しだけ忘れて、家族との大切な時間を過ごしてほしいので、私は行かないことにしました。 So, because I want my wife to forget about me a little and spend precious time with her family, I decided not to go. そうですよ。 That's right. うん。 Yeah. 二ヶ月ぐらい妻に会うことができません。 I haven't been able to see my wife for about two months. だから、私もこの二ヶ月、一人でしかできないことをたくさんしようと思いました。 So, I thought I would do a lot of things that I can only do alone during these two months. 例えば一人旅ですね。 For example, a solo trip. あとは友達や家族との時間ももっと作ろうと思いました。 Also, I thought I would make more time with friends and family. まあ、一人旅は妻がいてもできます。 Well, I can go on a solo trip even when my wife is here. でも妻がかわいそうですよね。 But it would be pitiful for my wife, right? 日本でずっと一人でアパートにいるのは寂しくてつまらないと思います。 I think staying alone in an apartment in Japan all the time would be lonely and boring. でも今は妻も家族と楽しい時間を過ごせるので、その心配をしなくてもいいです。 But now my wife can spend fun time with her family, so I don't have to worry about that. あと、もう一つ。 Also, one more thing. 今は戦争のせいで飛行機のチケットが高くなっていますよね。 Nowadays, flight tickets have become expensive because of the war, right? 日本からチリまでのチケットは本当に高いです。 Tickets from Japan to Chile are really expensive. でも、今、今、今は今までで一番高いと思います。 But now, now, now I think they are the most expensive they've ever been. まあね、本当に戦争が終わって、みんなが幸せに過ごせるようになってほしいですね。 Well, I truly hope the war ends and everyone can live happily. はい、そうです。 Yes, that's right. だから私はチリに行きません。 So I won't go to Chile. で、妻はすぐにチリに行くチケットを買いました。 And my wife immediately bought a ticket to go to Chile. だから、うん、妻がチリに行くまで本当に忙しかったですよ。 So, yeah, I was really busy until my wife left for Chile. チリに行く前にいろいろな仕事をしなきゃいけなかったし、妻の家族にお土産をたくさん買わなければいけなかったし、毎日本当に大変でした。 Before going to Chile, I had to do various jobs, and I had to buy a lot of souvenirs for my wife's family, so every day was really tough. 毎日本当に一日中いろいろなことをしていましたね。 Every day I was really doing all sorts of things all day long. 休み時間もありませんでした。 I didn't even have any break time. まあでも、最後の日には妻と二人だけの時間を作ることができました。 Well, but on the last day, I was able to spend time alone with my wife. 最後の日までにやらなきゃいけないことが終わって良かったです。 I'm glad I finished everything I had to do by the last day. 本当に全部しなきゃいけない仕事が終わった時は達成感がめっちゃありました。 When I really finished all the work I had to do, I had a huge sense of accomplishment. まあ、仕事をしないで一緒にレストランに行ったり、映画を見たり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができましたね。 Well, we were able to spend fun time together, like going to restaurants and watching movies without working. 妻といる時間は本当に楽しいです。 Time with my wife is really fun. 家に妻がいないと本当に変な感じですね。 It really feels strange when my wife is not at home. 絶対妻が恋しくなると思います。 I think I will definitely miss my wife. でも絶対この時間もお互い楽しい時間になると思います。 But I think this time will also be a fun time for both of us. こんな時間は結婚してから初めてです。 This is the first time we have had such time since we got married. だからあまり経験できないことなので、この時間はお互い楽しみたいと思います。 So, since it's something we can't experience often, I want us both to enjoy this time. なんか妻と一緒にいる時、いる時に自分の時間が欲しいなとか、自分の時間がたくさんある時に妻と一緒にいたいなと思うのはもったいないですよね。 It's a waste, you know, when I'm with my wife I want my own time, and when I have a lot of free time I want to be with my wife. だから、今の状況は特別な状況だから、この状況を百パーセントで楽しむのが一番いいですよね。 So, since the current situation is a special one, the best thing is to enjoy it 100%. はい。 Yes. どうでしたか? How was it? 皆さん。 Everyone. 皆さんも恋人と長い間会えなくなる経験がありますか? Have you all also experienced not being able to see your partner for a long time? よかったらYouTubeのコメントで皆さんの経験もシェアしてみてください。 If you'd like, please share your experiences in the YouTube comments. では、皆さん、また次のエピソードで会いましょう。 Well then, everyone, let's meet again in the next episode. 今日もゆっくり休んでくださいね。 Please rest well again today. じゃあまたね。 See you later. おやすみ。 Good night.
