暖冬の影響と気象
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
So, let's see.
Oh, did you buy the Fruits of the Nose Day?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, until September.
Right, yeah, you should do it tomorrow.
It's going to end tomorrow.
True.
So, okay, good.
Yeah, I did it.
Did you?
Yeah, I did it this morning.
This morning, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, right.
I bought a fridge.
Oh, you bought a fridge.
A refrigerator.
Oh, right.
You're the type of guy buying カベン through Fruits of the Nose Day.
That's right.
Yeah, I hardly ever go for food.
Those things?
I do not go for food.
Did you go for food?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fruits?
Maybe?
Do you think that the Fruits of the Nose Day fruit quality is getting a little bit lower?
Because I...
You think so?
Yeah.
No, personally, no, I don't think so.
You have not?
Yeah.
Okay.
What have you been eating recently with the Fruits of the Nose Day?
What's your data?
What's the fruit you've been eating?
So, fruits?
Oh, yeah, fruits, yeah.
Mango.
Okay.
So, for mangoes, I am ordering the exact same, exact same farm, exact same place that I know
the quality is the best.
I see, I see.
So, I guess that's why it's not, they keep the quality.
And also, what I do is, like, I don't want to, like, get, you know, bunch of fruits at
one time, so I pick, like, less amount, but higher quality.
Okay.
And so, yeah, so I, we've got mangoes, shine muscats, peonies, the grapes.
Okay.
Peaches.
Uh-huh.
Naches.
Uh-huh.
For what?
I don't know.
What have I done?
Melons.
Okay.
What happened to high quality, less stuff?
No, I mean, I don't want to, like, get 10 melons at one time.
Oh, you're talking about, like, a single fruit?
Yeah.
Okay.
I just want to get one melon by high quality.
Okay, I understand.
Even though we're paying the same amount.
I understand.
I understand, yeah.
That's what I'm, yeah.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, fruits, like that.
So, one of the things you said was grapes.
Yeah.
I felt a decline in quality grapes.
It's getting declined?
Yeah.
No?
I didn't feel that.
The amount of sweetness.
Hmm.
It was just, the taste itself was just a little bit, I don't know, just overall, usui.
Oh.
It was, like, watered down.
異常な気候の影響
Really?
Yeah.
Huh.
So, it's getting every year?
Declining every year?
Or, like, this is the spot?
Okay, well, this year.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, this year was, like, what is this?
Maybe, was it too hot for the grapes, maybe?
To grow enough?
True.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know.
That's highly likely.
Yeah, I don't know.
Did we have, like, many rains this year?
We didn't have that much rain.
Maybe that?
Yeah.
Maybe that.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know if that's good for grapes or not, first of all.
But weather, right?
Yeah.
It would definitely, you know, affect its quality.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This year has been very weird, I guess, so.
Okay.
It's true.
Yeah, probably that.
Yeah, probably.
Speaking of weather, you know, we could have a very, very cold winter, apparently.
Oh, is that?
This winter.
The guys are saying?
Yeah.
The weather guys are saying.
Saying like that?
Even though we had an extremely hot summer, if that happens, it's fair to have a danto, right?
I don't know if it's fair, but.
It's only fair to have a danto if you have a very cold, sorry, if you have a very hot summer.
Okay.
If you suffer the heat, then the winter should be warmer, right?
I don't know if that's fair.
How are people going to balance that?
Well, yeah.
If that's too hot, it's just too cold and just balance it out, maybe.
No, no, no, no.
That doesn't make any sense.
No?
That doesn't make any sense.
Okay, okay.
If global warming is happening, right?
Yeah.
It's average temperature, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If it's too hot, the summer hotter.
It should make the winter warmer.
It doesn't make any sense.
But what's happening this year, the winter's going to be a lot colder.
Yeah.
What the fuck does that mean?
Yeah, I mean, that's something that happens many times.
What does that mean?
Like, if the summer's really hot, then I don't know what the mechanism behind that, but the
winter sometimes tends to be really cold.
Well, that's just unfair to the human being, don't you think?
That's so unfair.
Really?
Yeah.
Don't know why, but...
Oh, man.
What did you say?
What does that mean?
I don't know.
What's the kanji?
You write it in hiragana.
Oh, okay.
Or like, first letter would be like, eru.
Toku.
Ah, okay, okay, okay.
It's like, it's how it is.
Yeah.
It's like,
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
I see.
It's like, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Can you give me an example sentence?
Yeah.
Can you give like a different one?
Like a completely different scenario?
It's the same.
Okay.
I'm thinking of the best example.
Yeah, yeah.
Like,
That was pretty difficult.
Or,
Or like, if you buy,
I don't know, if you buy like the latest MacBook Pro,
and then, I don't know, two weeks after,
they announce the even latest model.
Ah, okay.
Okay.
We say it like that.
Okay, okay.
I'll try to remember the whole phrase.
Okay.
I'll remember the whole phrase.
You can say it like that.
Yes, yes.
Okay, okay.
But the whole vibe would be like,
It's like more, I don't know how, it's like,
You gotta hit that vibe?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, I see, I see.
Yeah, but you can make a phrase like that.
Okay, okay, okay.
It's possible, but like the most,
I guess, you know, the best vibe is,
Yeah, in daily conversation.
Okay, okay.
But people can say like that,
especially like for, I don't know, like TV shows,
broadcasters, reporters,
They make phrases.
They don't say like,
They don't say like that.
What does that mean?
Yeah, yeah, I mean, that wasn't full phrase.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, I'm,
My brain is like,
How about this?
The day of the tournament rains.
It has to be more stronger.
More of a stronger, like, unluckiness?
Yeah, unluckiness.
Okay, the senshu has been training for two years,
and on the training day,
right before the start, he breaks his ankle.
That's, that's,
Too serious?
Too,
Too unfortunate?
Yeah.
You can't joke about it.
No, I mean, it has to be slightly logically.
It has to be slightly understandable.
I see.
Like, if it's too random.
Oh, I see.
You don't say like that.
It's slightly, you know it.
You kind of experienced it before.
Ah, I see.
I see.
So, it's like you're training for like five days,
and like five years,
and then just rains hard on that day.
It's like a bit too random.
暖冬の影響と議論
Okay, like a figure skater.
Yeah, something like that.
Okay, okay.
That's exactly the vibe.
Or like, if you're talking about the training,
if you train too much,
because you train too hard.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's kind of, you know, it's like,
kind of makes sense.
Yeah, right, right.
I see the logic there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Great.
You learned something new.
Yeah, right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
