Last Class Survey

1
a) My most interesting religion story is Buddhism because Iam interesting about Buddhism history and myth so that I could have a good time in this class.
b) I prefer to Buddhism because I think I can't stand that I can't feel free to meet and speak other buys if I was Islamism.

2
The most interesting topic is Family Life because I could listen to the lady who have been marriged with foreigner. It was fun for me and I learned about difference of Japan and Australia.

3
I think expressing feelings is the most important topic because it is different to each country's emotion so that we have to know character of each country learning cross culture communication

4
Of cause, the lady who spoke about difference about Japan and Australia. I learned about Australia and married with foreigner.

Expressing Feelings

I write for a long time.

Well, Today's topic is “Expressing Feeling”

First of all , first question is

“Are feelings emotions and facial expressions universal across borders, happy, sad, etc...?”

I think some of feelings are same each country. people become happy and people become sad. We have same feeling in ourselves.

Next question is

“Try to name as many feelings as possible in Japanese. Now write the English translation.”

喜び   have a fun 怒り get a angre 哀しみ sad
楽しみ enjoy 苦しみ hurt 憧れ fascinate
愛おしい love 美しい beauty 恐れ horrble
恥じらい shy

Last question is
“Are there any feeling in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?”

Yes, I think. Probably most of Japanese feel sad when we see flower (especially cherry) have dead. It's difficult to translate into English. We say in Japanese “儚い”
