A New Kind of Traffic Jam
1. The traffic is not moving, I'm so sorry we're stuck in
this traffic jam.
No problem. I'm enjoying the scenery.
2. I need to take a break... Actually,"nature's calling."
Do you know waht I mean?
Yeah. I've heard that saying before.
3. There is a restroom at the visitor's area up ahead...
Well, I want to get out of this car and stretch my legs.
Just a sec...(ドアを開けると、誰かに車の中に戻るように
言われ、すぐに戻ってきました)Oh, everyone is saying it's
not safe... What do you think is dangerous?
I don't know, but let's stay safe...in the car.
4. I see something on the side of the road... What is that?
Maybe it's motorcycle? Or... Do you think it's a bear?
5. Animals! It's a pack of bison... Walking in the middle of
the road. Now they're walking next to our car...
It's kind of scary, isn't it?
Year. They're so close to us! I'll quietly take a video.
6. This is an amazing experience! There are bison or water
buffaloes is Asia, right?
Yeah... I've never seen one in person.
I think there are buffaloes in Southeast Asia.
7. OK! They passed us! And... the traffic is finally moving.
Now, let's get to the visitors' area.
Let's go.
Special Touch
buffalo or bison
「スタンダード」とは人気投票のようなもの。多くの人が使うもの
が広がり、ときにはそれが伝統的な文法や語彙と入れ替わることも
今回登場した bison は、正確には異なるものの、アメリカでは
水牛(water buffalo)のようなものとされており、アメリカ人は
bison と見て buffalo と言うこともよくある。しかし一方で、
buffalo がよく使われる昨今でも bison という語がなくならずに
共存しているのは興味深いこと。
