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1日でしたか？ How was your day today, everyone? 皆さんの週末はどうでしたか？ How was your weekend? いや、あの、最近は怖いニュースがたくさんありますよね。 Well, um, there's been a lot of scary news lately, hasn't there? 最近、日本の九州の宮城県で大きい地震がありましたね。 Recently, there was a big earthquake in Miyagi Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. この地震は日本で今予想されている大きい地震と関係があるみたいです。 It seems this earthquake is related to the major earthquake that is currently predicted in Japan. この地震は南海トラフ地震と呼ばれています。 This earthquake is called the Nankai Trough earthquake. この地震は年から年の間に一回起きています。 This earthquake occurs once between the years. そして、この宮城の地震のせいで、この一週間に地震が起きるかもしれないと言われています。 And, it is said that because of this Miyagi earthquake, an earthquake might occur within this week. 怖いですよね。 It's scary, isn't it? はい。 Yes. えー、まあ、日本に住んでいる人はみんな少しパニックになったと思います。 Well, I think everyone living in Japan panicked a little. 大きい地震や津波が来たら避難しなければいけません。 If a big earthquake or tsunami comes, we must evacuate. 避難所に行かなければいけません。 We must go to an evacuation shelter. 避難所は大抵小学校や中学校や高校です。 Evacuation shelters are usually elementary schools, junior high schools, or high schools. 大きい公園にも避難できるかもしれませんが、津波の時は公園に避難をしてはいけません。 You may be able to evacuate to a large park, but during a tsunami, you must not evacuate to a park. 本当に大きい地震が来たら、まあ怖いですけど、その後の津波はもっと怖いですよね。 If a really big earthquake comes, well, it's scary, but the tsunami after that is even scarier, isn't it? 南海トラフ地震が来たら、本当にたくさんの人が亡くなってしまうと思います。 If the Nankai Trough earthquake comes, I think a lot of people will really die. 本当に怖いですね。 It's really scary, isn't it? だから、今から準備をしておいた方がいいですよね。 So, it's better to prepare from now, right? 日本に住んでいる人は、水やライト、カップラーメンや缶の食べ物などを買っておいた方がいいかもしれませんね。 People living in Japan might want to buy water, lights, cup noodles, canned food, etc. まあ、本当にこの一週間に地震が来るかどうかは誰にもわかりません。 Well, no one knows if an earthquake will really come this week. もちろん来て欲しくないです。 Of course, I don't want it to come. でも、大きい地震が来た時はみんなで生きなければいけません。 But when a big earthquake comes, we all have to survive together. 多分、これは今まで経験したことがないレベルの地震だと思います。 Probably, I think this is an earthquake of a level we have never experienced before. もちろん準備をすることも大切ですけど、心配しすぎるのも良くないと思います。 Of course, preparing is important, but I think worrying too much is also not good. まあ、準備をして、あとは誰にもわかりませんから、普通の生活をした方がいいですよね。 Well, it's better to prepare and then live normally since no one knows what will happen, right? 私もスーパーに水を買いに行きました。 I also went to the supermarket to buy water. でも、多分みんなスーパーに水を買いに来て、全然水がなかったので買えませんでした。 But probably everyone came to buy water, and there was no water at all, so I couldn't buy any. なんかちょっとコロナの時を思い出しました。 It kind of reminded me of the time of COVID-19. コロナの時もスーパーでトイレットペーパーがなくなっていましたね。 During COVID-19, toilet paper was also gone at the supermarket. はい。 Yes. まあ、日本は災害の国です。 Well, Japan is a country of disasters. 台風や噴火、洪水、地震、津波などたくさんの自然災害があります。 There are many natural disasters such as typhoons, eruptions, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis. この災害の時はいつも助け合って生きてきました。 In times of disaster, we have always helped each other and lived on. 災害が起きたらパニックにならないで助け合って生きなければいけません。 When a disaster occurs, we must not panic but help each other and survive. 日本に住んでいる外国人の人も怖いと思います。 I think foreigners living in Japan are also scared. 今、大きい地震が来たら何をしなければいけないか、どこに行かなければいけないか。 What should we do and where should we go if a big earthquake strikes now? 津波が来たらまず何をしなきゃいけないかを確認してください。 Please confirm what you must do first if a tsunami comes. できるだけたくさんの人が生きられるように準備をして、そしていつも通りに生活しましょう。 Let's prepare so that as many people as possible can survive, and continue living as usual. はい。 Yes. えー、まあ今日はね、その南海トラフ地震について話しました。 Well, today we talked about the Nankai Trough earthquake. はい。 Yes. まあ今日はたくさんね、地震についての新しい単語がありますね。 Well, today we have a lot of new vocabulary about earthquakes. 災害の時に日本でよく使うかもしれませんから、ぜひ今から一緒に復習をしましょう。 Because you might often use them during disasters in Japan, let's review them together now. じゃあ皆さん、今日もゆっくり休んでください。 Well everyone, please rest well today as well. またね。 See you later. おやすみ。 Good night.
