2013年9月28日「モバイル英語学習」第203号(エッセイ): Food I Yearn For

Notes:
yearn for: 恋い慕う, 恋しがる
lamb: 子羊の肉,ラム
****************
When you live in a foreign country, you sometimes miss the food from your own country. If you think about that food a lot and really want it, then you “yearn for” it. Recently, a large American store opened near the airport, and my wife went there yesterday. She found something I was yearning for: mutton. I used to eat lamb and mutton in the U.S., but it’s difficult to find this meat in Japan. She also found blueberry muffins. I love them, too. If you move to a foreign country, what Japanese food will you yearn for? Umeboshi? Natto? (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

2013年8月10日「モバイル英語学習」第194号(エッセイ):The First City in Japan to Have 4D Movies

********************
Nagoya is the birthplace of pachinko, and now it is the first city in Japan to have 4D movies. The audience can experience moving seats, special lighting, and bubbles coming from the ceiling. There are hundreds of smells, too. The moving chairs could be fun, like the “Back to the Future” ride at Universal Studios. I don’t know about the smells, though. There are a lot of things I don’t want to smell. Even so, I would like to try a 4D movie once. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
