イントロ

Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

Today’s guest is Jon. He’s from Wellington, New Zealand and he lives in Japan. This is his second stint in Japan. The first time he was here on the JET programme. He was teaching at a high school in Gifu. And after a year teaching, he went back to New Zealand, then he decided to come back to Japan, this time to do something different.
When he was living in Gifu, Jon came to Niseko on holiday to do some snowboarding and now he’s back in Niseko, this time he’s living here and working for one of the companies up at the ski village called Hokkaido Tracks.

I asked him what he does at Hokkaido Tracks.

At the moment I, um, do design, um, and website work. So I look after, ah, my company’s media, ah, requirements. So that can be, um, anything from just updating the website, text or, um, creating new web pages, um, through to pamphlets and, ah, sometimes photography as well.

　今はデザインとウェブサイト管理をしています。　つまり僕の会社のメディア的に必要な事をやっています。　例えばウェブサイトのアップデートや新しいウェブページの作成、パンフレット、写真などがあります。









STICK NEWS

Kia Ora this is Stick News. A group of children from a swimming club in Japan thought they would have to swim for their lives after their bus became stranded on a flooded road.

Last month a group of 16 students were on their way to a swimming competition in Hiroshima when the minibus they were travelling in stalled on a road that was flooded with water. Mainichi News reported the students feared they would have to swim for their lives. So they quickly changed into their togs inside the bus and climbed out the windows. But the water wasn't as deep as they anticipated and they managed to wade to another bus and they made it to the competition.

And that was Stick News for Monday the 6th of October.
Kia Ora.

conversations with sarah

　　What did you study?

Sarah
Did you study design at university?
　大学でデザインを学んだんですか？

Jon
Actually, I didn’t study – that’s my naughty little secret. I, um, I didn’t study, ah, design or photography. Um, I, um, I’ve always been very interested in photography and design. So, I’ve, um … the, the kinds of, ah, programs, the kinds of software that I work with, um, I’m very familiar with, I’ve worked with a lot in the past. Just for my own … stuff. Ah, like if I’ve made my own website, or … um, and, ah, I’ve been … um, doing photography for probably about ten years now. Um, so, I’m certainly very interested in it, um, but it’s not what I studied at university.
　それは僕のちょっとお行儀の悪い秘密なんですが、実は大学ではデザインも写真も学びませんでした。　写真とデザインへの強い興味はいつもありましたけどね。　以前、自分自身のウェブサイトを構築するに当たってプログラミングやソフトウェアに親近感を覚えました。　写真は１０年くらいやっていてとても楽しんでいます。　でも大学で学んだわけではありません。

Sarah
What did you study?
　では大学で何を学んだんですか？

Jon
I studied, um - very different - I studied criminology and philosophy. Um, so, two very, very interesting subjects. But, um, yeah, I don’t know, I never felt that they were subjects which would offer me, a, um, you know, a, like maybe a well paying job, or … but I was very, very interested in them. And I’m very, you know, I’m very happy that I studied them. And I’d like to, yeah, I’d like to study them again one day.
　それとは全く違う分野の、犯罪学と哲学を学びました。　二つともとても面白い科目です。　これらの学問は私に高給を提供してはくれませんが、とても興味深いですので学んで本当によかったと思っています。　そしていつかまた更に学びたいと思います。

Sarah
Why didn’t you continue teaching?
　なぜ（英語を）教えるのを止めたんですか？

Jon
Well, um, I really enjoyed the teaching but I also felt like, um, teaching wasn’t going to be my career. Um, it wasn’t going to be the job that I always did. So, I, um, felt that I, um, should, ah, maybe look at doing a, a job which was more, you know, sort of career based. Um, so when I went back to New Zealand I was looking around for that kind of job and I never really found it. Um, and I thought about doing the police, going into the New Zealand police force. Which I thought would be very interesting and um, be very close to what I studied at university. Um, but then I um, found this job in Niseko, online, and I thought, ah, I’d like to go back to Niseko.
　教える事はとても楽しかったんですが、これでキャリアを積んで行きたいとは思えませんでした。　今までやってきた分野とも違いましたし。　そこで別のキャリアになる仕事に目を向けるべきだと思いました。　ニュージーランドへ戻ってそのような仕事を探しましたが見つかりませんでした。　そこでニュージーランドの警察で働こうかなと考えました。　とても興味深いことだし大学で学んだことを生かせると思ったからです。　そう考えているうちにオンラインで今のニセコの仕事が見つかりました。　そしてよしニセコへ行こうと考えました。


Sarah
You don’t seem like the police officer type …
　あなたは警察官タイプにはとても見えませんが・・・

Jon
I know, a lot of people say that, and probably I’m not so much, you know, sort of, of that kind of personality. But, ah, yeah, I, I think, um, the … um, the, the, the subject matter, like, really interests me, like, why people, um, commit crime or … what makes people commit crime, or … um, why we define certain things as crime. So, it’s kind of the overall, the overall picture, I think is … yeah, and … yeah I thought it would be quite an interesting opportunity, being in the police, to, you know, have more experience, direct experience with it.
　でしょ。　みんなそう言うよ。　それに僕自身の性格もそのようなタイプじゃないしね。　けどあの分野にはとても興味をそそられます。　なぜ人が犯罪を犯すのか、何が人を犯罪に走らせるのか、なぜ我々は特定の事柄を犯罪と定義するのか等々。　これは全体像としてですが警察官になって直接経験を積むのは面白いチャンスだと思いました。

Sarah
Why did you choose Niseko? So that you could go snowboarding?
　なぜニセコを選んだんですか？　スノーボード出来るから？

Jon
Japan, coming back to Japan, was probably the biggest reason. Um, I knew that the snowboarding was very, very good. Um, but, I’m not that good at snowboarding. So … um, but certainly the other big one was the job, um, and I felt that the job really, um, it, you know, sounded like a great company to work for, really interesting, young company. And, um, it was a, um, an area that I’d personally been interested in for a long time - the photography and I thought that this would be a good opportunity, a step into the door, um … for, um, you know, maybe, you know, a career in this field.
　日本に戻ることが一番の理由だったと思います。　スノーボードするのに最高だとは知っていましたが僕はそれほどうまくありません。　他の理由は仕事内容です。　若い会社で働くのはとてもステキで面白そうな感じがしました。　それにこのエリアは以前から個人的に興味があった場所でもあります。　それにこれはこの分野でのキャリアを積む新たなチャンスでありスタートだと思います。

Sarah
When did you start studying Japanese?
　日本語はいつ学びはじめましたか？

Jon
Um, really, I started studying, ah, when I first came, um, but when I first came to Japan, I was, I think I was more interested in having fun and I didn’t really take it seriously enough. And when I went back to New Zealand, I really felt that I’d missed an opportunity. Um, and, ah, so, ah, when I came back, I felt like it was a second chance, another opportunity for me to, um, you know, learn more about, um, Japan through Japanese, through the language and, um, I’ve certainly always been interested in the culture, but the language, I don’t know, I’ve … yeah, I’m, I’m, I’m studying, I go to classes at the moment.
　日本に初めて来たときに始めましたが、当時は（日本生活を）楽しむこと忙しくてあまり真剣ではありませんでした。　そしてニュージーランドに帰ってようやく（日本語を学ぶ）大きなチャンスを逃したことに気付きました。　今回は二度目のチャンスなので日本語を通して日本文化を学んでいこうと思います。　今、日本語教室に通っているんですよ。

Sarah
Do you use Japanese at work?
　仕事で日本語を使いますか？

Jon
Predominantly English, but, um, certainly, ah, I mean, all of our company’s, um, employees, we all study Japanese, um, and vice-versa, the Japanese study English. Um, so … the goal is to have a bilingual, um, environment, where, you know, Japanese or English is, um, is, you know, able to be used in, you know, in the work space.
　圧倒的に英語を使うことが多いですが僕たち全従業員は日本語を勉強して、逆に日本人スタッフは英語を勉強します。　目標は仕事場を日本語と英語のバイリンガルな環境にすることです。

Sarah
Do you have any advice for people who are studying English?
　英語を学ぶ人たちにアドバイスをお願いします。

Jon
Well, using it every day, using the language whenever you can. And um, watching The Daily English Show of course.
　毎日いつでも英語を使いましょう。　そしてもちろん"The Daily English Show"を見ましょう。









サラのメモ：
a step into the door
I think he meant to say a foot in the door - an idiom which means: to manage to enter an organization, a field of business, etc. that could bring you success
