AI Explain Shunと日本語。 Shun and Japanese. 皆さんこんばんは。 Good evening, everyone. 日本語教師のShunです。 I'm Shun, a Japanese teacher. 皆さん、今日はどんな1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? 最近私はチリで妻の家族と一緒に生活していました。 Recently I was living in Chile with my wife's family. ずっとヨーロッパを旅行していたので、チリでだんだんルーティンを作ることができて、チリの生活に慣れてきました。 Since I had been traveling in Europe for a long time, I was able to gradually establish a routine in Chile and have gotten used to life there. 妻の家族の家は少し田舎にあるので、周りにあまり何もありません。 My wife's family's house is a bit in the countryside, so there isn't much around. だから車がなかったらどこにも行くことができません。 So if we didn't have a car, we couldn't go anywhere. スーパーに行くのも車がなかったら難しいです。 Even going to the supermarket is difficult without a car. だから、ほとんどの時間は家の中で過ごしています。 So we spend most of our time inside the house. まあ、たくさん仕事があるから、家の中でもたくさんやることがあります。 Well, since we have a lot of work, there are many things to do even at home. でも時々外に出かけたいですよね。 But sometimes we want to go out, right? 実はチリに着いた時、私は熱がありました。 Actually, when I arrived in Chile, I had a fever. だから、チリに着いて最初の 3 日間はずっとベッドの上で休んでいました。 So for the first three days after arriving in Chile, I rested in bed the whole time. 多分ヨーロッパの旅行で疲れすぎていたんだと思います。 I think I was probably too tired from the trip to Europe. その後、体調が良くなってから、家の近くにあるジムにサインアップしました。 After that, when I felt better, I signed up for a gym near the house. 妻と妻の妹と一緒にサインアップして、いつも一緒にジムに行っています。 I signed up together with my wife and her sister, and we always go to the gym together. ジムは家から少し近くにあるので、時々自転車でジムに行きます。 The gym is a little close to home, so I sometimes go there by bicycle. だから、ジムに行く時だけ外に出ることができますね。 So, I can only go out when I go to the gym. ほとんどの時間を家の中で過ごすので、妻や妻の家族と過ごす時間が増えますよね。 Since I spend most of my time at home, I get to spend more time with my wife and her family. チリでは毎日家族と一緒に朝ごはん、昼ごはん、晩ご飯を食べます。 In Chile, we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the family every day. チリで家族の時間は本当に大切にされていると感じました。 I felt that family time is truly valued in Chile. チリ人は親戚とも仲がいいです。 Chileans also get along well with their relatives. よくいとこやおじさん、おばさんの家に行きます。 They often go to their cousins', uncles', and aunts' houses. そこでいつも一緒にたくさんの時間を過ごします。 There, they always spend a lot of time together. 実は私は日本で大人になってから、妻の家族みたいにたくさんの時間を家族と過ごしていませんでした。 Actually, after becoming an adult in Japan, I didn't spend as much time with my family like my wife's family does. 私も私の家族もみんな忙しいから、一緒に時間を過ごす時間をあまり作れませんでした。 Because both I and my family are busy, we couldn't make much time to spend together. でも、チリに来て、家族の時間は本当に大切だと感じました。 But after coming to Chile, I felt that family time is truly important. 大人になってから家族の時間を作るのは難しいと思います。 I think it's difficult to make time for family once you become an adult. でも、忙しい時間の中で、できるだけ家族で集まって楽しい時間を過ごすのは本当に大切だと思いました。 However, I thought that, amidst a busy schedule, it's really important to gather with family and spend enjoyable time as much as possible. 人生の中で大切な人と過ごす時間は一番大切な時間だと思います。 I believe that the time spent with important people in life is the most precious time. 日本ではいつも仕事とか他のことをしすぎて、本当に大切なことを忘れてしまう人がたくさんいると思います。 I think in Japan, many people are always too busy with work and other things, forgetting what is truly important. 私もそうです。 I'm the same way. 多分、私の家族もそうだと思います。 Perhaps my family is also like that. でも、チリで妻の家族と過ごして、私もできるだけ家族との時間をもっと作ろうと思いました。 But after spending time with my wife's family in Chile, I also thought that I should try to make more time for family as much as possible. 人生は短いですからね。 Because life is short, you know. うん。 Yeah. 本当に人生は思っているより短いと思います。 I really think life is shorter than we think. チリに来て、大切なことに気づくことができて、本当に良かったと思います。 I'm really glad I came to Chile and was able to realize what's important. 皆さんはどう思いますか？ What do you all think? 最近、家族と会っていますか？ Have you been spending time with your family recently? いつ最後に家族に会いましたか？ When was the last time you saw your family? よかったら寝る前にYouTubeのコメントでシェアしてみてください。 If you'd like, please share in the YouTube comments before you go to sleep. では皆さん、また次のエピソードで会いましょう。 Well everyone, see you in the next episode. じゃあまたね。 See you then. おやすみ。 Good night.
