[22:15] How many times have you moved? I’ve moved about 12 times. Moving takes time and energy, but especially it costs money. The state in which money is getting run out due to repeated moving is called “Hikkoshi Binbou”. Binbou means “a lack of money” or “poor”. Three removals are as bad as a fire. But by moving, you will have new discoveries and encounters, which will become your new treasure.
[22:15] みなさんは何回(なんかい)ぐらい引(ひ)っ越(こ)しをしてことがありますか。私(わたし)は12回(かい)ぐらいあります。引(ひ)っ越(こ)しは時間(じかん)も体力(たいりょく)もいりますが、特(とく)にお金(かね)がかかりますね。何度(なんど)も引(ひ)っ越(こ)しをしてお金(かね)がなくなっていくことを、「引(ひ)っ越(こ)し貧乏(びんぼう)」と言(い)います。貧乏(びんぼう)はa lack of money, poorですね。 Three removals are as bad as a fire. でも、引(ひ)っ越(こ)すことで、新(あたら)しい発見(はっけん)や出会(であ)いがあります。新(あら)たな宝(たから)となりますね。
