Our need for food and fellowship are two of the main aspects of being human.

食べ物と仲間との時間 大事ですよね

上級比較級を表す句型

But how each culture expresses that in their food and gatherings is as different as night and day.

文化が違うと 食事や集まり方も違います

Today we're celebrating the confluence of cultures on Life in Japan!

今日は私達の大好きな 日本の食文化を紹介します！

We got some cake. It's Aunt Pri's birthday and we are going to go celebrate.

ケーキを持って 誕生日会に向かいます

My birthday is coming up! Your birthday is coming up too, I know. Exciting.

- 私も誕生日！ - もうすぐだね

Gatherings and food are as old as humanity itself,

人の歴史は正に 食事とパーティーです

and if I were to ask you to name one food found around the world used for celebrations, what would your answer be?

皆さんにとって 祝い事の食べ物といえば何ですか？

というわけで 今日はピザでお祝いです

I know you are saying, this is Life in Japan what does pizza have to do about life in Japan, that's not Japanese at all.

"日本の食文化の回で何でピザの話？" と思いましたか？

But I dare say that pizza can be found anywhere in the world, it's the most international food.

ある意味ピザほど 国際的な食べ物はありません

And every country has a different take on pizza.

どの国にも 個性的なピザがあります

And any discussion about international food would have to include desert — cake!

どの国でも欠かせない物 ケーキです！

Ruth is amazing in this department, always whipping up something wonderful for our celebrations.

ルースはお菓子作りの名人で 毎回パーティーで腕を振るいます

In the time that Ruth and I have been married, we've lived several years along three different rivers:

私とルースは いつも川沿いに住んでいます

the Mississippi in America, the Amazon in Brazil and the Tama in Japan.

米国のミシシッピ川 ブラジルのアマゾン川 日本の多摩川

While these countries are polar opposites culturally,

when you get away from the busy city and close to the river, it doesn't feel so far apart.

郊外の川沿いには 似た雰囲気もあります

In each place, what people eat is closely tightly tied to the natural produce of the land.

3つの国のいずれにも 農耕の文化がありました

Here, Ruth has made her own garden for cultivating food,

ルースも日本で 家庭菜園に挑戦しています

which for us in a mixture of American, Brazilian and Japanese cuisine.

米国とブラジル 日本の作物を育ててます

This is my soy beans, and I've got some beans growing on it, lots of beans actually, but some are smaller.

これは枝豆 小さいけど豆がなってきてるわ

My cucumbers. I've got some big ones growing.

My lettuce. More green onions and more lettuce, that is almost done.

レタスと分葱 もうすぐ食べごろね

My parsley, my green peppers. Those are really getting big. I need to put them in a bigger pot.

パセリとピーマン もう大きいから鉢を変えないと

All my tomatoes! There are so many tomatoes on this plant!

It's going to be time to have spaghetti and pizza. And salsa!

パスタとピザ サルサが食べれるね！

You better watch this. He goes like this and jumps so high. Isn't that amazing?

これ見て！ すっごく高く飛ぶんだよ

Time for some curry rice and then to juku. Oh my goodness. That's a lot of stuff all at once coming back.

カレーを食べたら塾です 沢山やる事があるね

牛乳パックを使って出来る おもちゃの作り方です

Says you are going to use a milk box and make a toy!

牛乳パックで おもちゃを作るの

Well, I'm waiting for a good friend of mine. He is going to pick me up. I'm going to have lunch at his house.

これから友達と食事です 迎えに来てくれます

It's going to be a good to meet up with him again. I haven't seen him since before the quarantine.

会うのは外出自粛後 初めてなので楽しみです

今日はサトルさんの 家に行きます

- ありがとうございます - ようこそ

The view from Satoru-san's house is very good.

サトルさん 素晴らしい景色ですね

It's a rare kind of sushi that you eat with olive oil. I can't wait to try it.

- めずらしい？ - オリーブオイルで食べます

Nothing is perhaps more Japanese than sushi.

オリーブオイルで 一味違った寿司を食べます

And Satoru-san is treating me to a special treat of his own creation at his house today.

One thing I've noticed about a lot of Japanese men is that they can cook so well.

サトルさんが創作料理の 腕を振るってくれました

It's my first time having sushi with olive oil.

So it was such a good lunch and now I'm going to head off to my niece - it's her birthday party.

Little Evie is turning 2 so we are going to go celebrate.

初めて… 寿司とオリーブオイル

Hey, guess what I heard? You didn't cry at all today at kindergarten. That's awesome!

最高の昼食の後は 姪の誕生日会です

When we get together, you'll find food from all of over the world — we like it all!

Good food and fellowship help make a person whole!

If more people in the world developed healthy families and fellowship, there would be far less problems in society.

Thank goodness we can start meeting together again!

幼稚園で泣かなかったんだって？ えらいね！

私達のパーティーでは 世界中の食事が楽しめます

Did you bring your homework to a birthday party, huh?

食事と仲間との時間は 良いですね

健康な家族や集まりが増えれば 社会問題も減少しますね

I got this. I got it! I do not get any points!

また皆に会えるようになって 良かったです

No points? Not yet. You gotta work for them.

My turn. Oh, Sarah got a second match, huh?

Oh, you are almost there and then you can go to bed. I'm so tired.

The kanji tests. Two of them on the second day of school!

It's been months since these tennis courts have been filled

and it's been months since this parking lot has been filled here.

It's super cool to see it start happening again.

And I think it's been months since it has been mowed.

漢字テスト… 学校再開2日で2回だよ！

Studious means you have been a good student in studying, getting your homework done, being diligent.

Diligent means you are being consistent. What is consistent?

You keep trying, you keep pushing forward

I have a lot of questions. What is consistent.

So what's the idea here? What are we doing?

真面目に勉強に取り組む ”勤勉”な姿勢の事だよ

Ok, so you are going to push against the door handle for 30 seconds as hard as you can with your arms like this.

And then you step out and relax and your arms just go...float up!

そうだな… ”首尾一貫”って感じかな

ドアの枠に30秒間 こうやって手を押し付けるの

その後歩いて力を抜くと 手が自然に上がるの！

Like you are trying to push the panels apart.
