「鬼滅の刃」は世界最高のオープニングウィークエンド　

興行収入100億円突破は？

世界中の映画館が生き残るのに苦労している一方で、日本の映画ファンは興行収入の記録を破るのを手伝っています。 COVID-19の社会的距離のルールにもかかわらず、アニメーション映画は、日本の映画史上最大の興行収入の週末を見たばかりです。 映画「鬼滅の刃」は、日本で記録を更新しただけでなく、世界のどの映画でも最大のオープニングウィークエンドとなりました。 この映画は日本国内でのみデビューしましたが、以前の記録の2倍以上になりました。 先週末のチケット販売は、他のすべての国を合わせたものよりも多かった。 日本の映画館では、340万人以上の常連客がなんと4400万ドルのチケットを売り出しました。

 

　

While movie theatres around the world are struggling to survive, cinemagoers in Japan are helping to smash box office records. Despite COVID-19 social distancing rules, an animated film has just seen (by far) the biggest box office weekend in the history of Japan’s cinemas. The movie ‘Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’ not only broke records in Japan, it also had the biggest opening weekend for any movie anywhere in the world. The movie only debuted domestically in Japan but it more than doubled the previous record. Ticket sales last weekend were greater than those of all other countries combined. Japanese cinemas saw over 3.4 million patrons forking out a whopping $44 million on tickets

A Zeptosecond   10億分の1秒の1兆分の1

今日の世界では、多くのものがどんどん短くなっています。 科学者たちは、信じられないほど短いものを測定したところです。 彼らはこれまでに測定された最短の時間単位を記録しました。 これはゼプト秒と呼ばれます。 これは、1秒のごくわずかです。 それは10億分の1秒の1兆分の1です。 これは小数点の後に20個のゼロが続き、次に1個です。科学者はドイツのゲーテ大学で原子物理学を研究しています。 彼らは特別なハイテク機器を使用して、光子が水素分子を通過するのにかかる時間を測定しました。 科学者たちは、これが起こるのに247ゼプト秒かかったと言いました。 これは人間の目では小さすぎて、人間が感知するには時間がかかりすぎます。

 

　

In today’s world, many things are getting shorter and shorter. Scientists have just measured something incredibly short. They recorded the shortest unit of time ever measured. It is called a zeptosecond. This is a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of one second. It is a trillionth of a billionth of a second. This is a decimal point followed by 20 zeros and then a 1. The scientists study atomic physics at the Goethe University in Germany. They used special high-tech equipment to measure how long it takes a photon to cross a hydrogen molecule. The scientists said it took 247 zeptoseconds for this to happen. This is too small for the human eye to see, and the time it takes is too fast for humans to sense.

サンプル回答

I really like to play tag. In order to play the game, we need at least 3 people to join the game. One person tries to catch the other two . If he touches one of them, he should say, tag your it. Then the next person shall run after the others. I know it doesn’t sound fun, but the bigger the group, the better I used to play this when I was a child In our neighborhood, children went to the playground to play, and we played this. There are a lot of children there, so I got to meet a lot of people. We used to play this almost every day. We’d start around 3 pm until dusk It was so much fun. I don’t get the chance to do that now because I’m an adult I think even though I’d press upon them, they would see it childish. Yet despite all the games online games, mobile games, etc. I hope to introduce this game to my children and their friends so they can try this old school game.

▮質問 1

Have you had problems with your car?

サンプル回答

Funny that you asked because I just sold my car. It’s quite old and had a lot of things to fix. I decided a few months ago to let it go . The first time I got into a problem was when I was driving off out of the city. I was surprised that the car broke down. I tried to turn it back on, but I didn’t hear a single sound. I had to call my mechanic to pick me back and tow my car. It was in the shop that I found out that it ran out of battery. My mechanic said that it’s up for replacement. The second time was when I was trying to get rid of my sofa. I was almost at the garbage bin when, again, it doesn’t want to start. That was the last straw. The next month, it’s either I’d sell or throw it

When I was young, I wanted to have the famous red Ferrari car. It looks so cool It’s so fast Now, I’m going to sound boring. I want an SUV! Things are really changing. I want it for convenience and the family. I mean, I’d probably choose the red Ferrari if I were single. But, with the family and the kids, SUV is better Seven people can get to sit comfortably inside . There’s a space if we have groceries or extra things. We are saving money to buy a good car. I’m helping my husband with the funds. I try to give as much as I can, though it’s a little challenging. We hope to purchase it by the end of the year. We are driving up our savings by selling things that are not important to us. We had garage sales and online selling. It was amazing! If I get hold of the SUV, I’m sure my family and friends will get on, and ask for a road trip

オーストラリア政府　パートナービザに英語テスト導入

今オーストラリア連邦政府は、2020／21年度予算案の中で、非英語圏からの移住者のパートナービザ対象者へのビザ要件として英語テストを導入すると発表した。　オーストラリアのビザ要件は少し厳しくなっています。 永住ビザを希望する既存の居住者の外国人パートナーは、すぐに英語のテストに合格する必要があります。 オーストラリア政府は、恒久的なビザが付与される前に、人々が所定のレベルの英語能力を証明することが重要であると述べています。 前提条件は2021年半ばから設定される可能性があります。移民大臣のアラン・タッジは、「申請者とスポンサーは、英語の機能レベルを満たしているか、少なくとも英語を学ぶために合理的な努力をしている必要があります」と述べました。

 

　

Visa requirements in Australia just got a little tougher. Foreign partners of existing residents who want a permanent residence visa must soon have to pass an English language test. Australia’s government says it is important that people prove a predetermined level of English proficiency before they are granted a permanent visa. The prerequisite could be in place from the middle of 2021. Immigration Minister Alan Tudge said: “We will require an applicant and a sponsor to have met a functional level of English or to have at least made reasonable efforts to learn English.” He said such efforts would entail about 500 hours of free English classes on a government-run language programme.
