English Audio Request

Because in some places the spelling was strange, and also because i've never heard "vagaries" nor "abnegation" before, I ended up speaking really, really slowly. I managed to find some quiet time, after all.

I'm curious, though. With しょうがない, i expected it included the meaning of "頑張らない." For example, "しゃあないので、気にせんとくわ."

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to record this! Also, I'm very happy with the speed you spoke at because I'm really bad at listening English. (^^;
Yes, you're right. "しょうがない" often means "give up 頑張る", but I think it basically means "it's fruitless/meaningless to do something, so I'd better give it up". Therefore, in the context of the above text, I suppose it means "it's fruitless to cry over what we've lost, so we'd better just 頑張る without crying.^^
By the way, your Osaka dialect is very good. 大阪弁、めっちゃ上手いやん。

Eh, my osakan's terrible, i think, but thank you anyway. But in the case you describe, it then means the same a "there's nothing you can do." We say this to suggest that someone "move on."

And thank you for accepting my friend request.
