アシュリー ~All About Ashley~

アシュリー ~All About Ashley~
	おすすめ平均 あたたかい気持ちに 現実にあった事を忘れていけない事 前向きに生きようと思える本 アシュリーはイラストが上手い！ 小さいながらも Amazonで詳しく見る by G-Tools

プロジェリア（早老症（の一種））という難病（治療法はないらしい）を抱えた少女アシュリーが自分で自分のことを書いた本。英語の原文と本人のイラストも載っている。

ずいぶん辛い思いもしているんだろうに、しょげたことも「1，2回はあるかな」とすませてしまう、自然体のポジティブさに脱帽。
こんな風にがんばっていける子に育て上げたお母さんにも脱帽。

Dragon Ball

This is one scene from Dragon Ball (Vol.1, p.63; Story & Art/Akira Toriyama; English adaptation/Gerard Jones; Translation/Mari Morimoto; VIZ Media) .

The Turtle Hermit (Kame Sennin) gives Goku a present -- Kinto'un. He tries to show how to get on the special cloud, saying "Unless you're pure of heart, it'll never even let you on!" (心が純粋でなければ、これはお前を乗せようとすらしないよ)

... but the hermit fails to get on, and the turtle says "Surely it's defective." (きっと欠陥品なんですよ)　

Now Goku's turn. He says "Let me try" (おらにもやらせて) , and he does get on the cloud with no problem.

舞台はファンタジーな世界だけれど、よ～く使うフレーズが満載ですね！図書館で閲覧準備ができたらぜひトライしてみてください。

Yotsuba &!

"Yotsuba &!" has arrived. Here is an excerpt from Vol.4:

(Yotsuba is trying to choose one ice cream to have)
DAD: I know. I'll eat all of them for you. When I'm done, you can have the one that tasted best. よ～し。父ちゃんが全部食べてやるよ。その後で、一番うまかったやつを食べればいい。

YOTSUBA: Ah! A great idea! お～いいな！

DAD: Ok. I'll just take these. よ～し。じゃこれもらうぞ。(Yotsuba is just waiting...)

JUMBO: You're ok with this? He's going to eat them all.　いいのか？父ちゃんが全部食べちゃうぞ。

YOTSUBA: ... Adult! That's soo adult! ... 大人って！大人って！

DAD: Took you long enough. やっと分かったか。

＊　＊　＊

New Titles Arrived ... 学校は休みだけど

• Case Closed Vol. 6- Vol.10
  
• 2 Moomin books: Finn Family Moomintrol & Tales from Moominvalley  

Here is a page from Case Closed Vol. 6:

今まで気づかなかったコナン・シリーズのメリットを発見。このページのセリフはこんな感じ：

ホテルの人：Room service -- your food and wine.

ゲスト1（女性）：What? We didn't order anything like that. 

(そんなもの頼んでませんよ)

ホテルの人：But someone just called us and requested this delivery to your room.

（でもどなたかが電話をお客様のお部屋にこの配達を頼まれたんですが）

ゲスト1（女性）：That's strange.

ゲスト2（男性）：What's the harm? I could use a bite to eat. Have him bring it in.

（中に運んでもらいないさい）

このホテルの場面、TOEICに出そうな表現がたっぷり！そういえば、コナンはホテルだけじゃなく、観光地とか、マンションとか会社とかが舞台になりますしね～。殺人事件が問題に出ることはないですけど・・・、コナン好きの皆さん、ついでにTOEIC表現をチェックしてみては？

New titles Coming Soon
