ギルバートさんの おぼえた日記 - 2020年4月16日(木)

The cottage was at an elevation of 1,000 meters.
The road to the cottage became steep as I passed a field of dandelions.
When I arrived there, I felt as if I has reached the summit of a high mountain.
My bedroom was in the attic. I climbed the ladder.
There were some flowers in a vase. The cottage owner said, "They grow on steep slopes."
I said, "I've never been to an elevation of 2,000 meters or higher."
I continued, "My dream is to have breakfast on the summit of the mountain."
The boy couldn't climb down the tree and started crying.
The two countries will hold a summit next month.
I attended a workshop on how to climb the corporate ladder.
The data showed a steep increase in material costs.
What can cause elevation of blood pressure?

Our neighbor watered our garden while we were away.
What is this cup-shaped flower? - That's a tulip.
Dandelion flowers turn into white balls of seeds.
This area's fertile soil produces good vegetables.
Can I use this onion? - No! That's a tulip bulb.
I drink dandelion root tea instead of coffee. It doesn't contain caffeine.
When I opened the door, the dust made my eyes water. No one had entered the room in 30years.
This plant grows well in sandy soil.
The Netherlands is known for its tulips.
Dandelions have saw-toothed leaves,
His job is to water the horses.
The soil dried out because we had little rain last month.

* Honeymoon
Eva ist im Taxi.
Guten Morgen!
Guten Morgen! Zum Bahnhof, bitte.
Gerne.
Urlaub?
Nein...
Ich habe ein Ticket nach Wien.
Na ja... zwei Tickets.
Wien ist schön.
Es ist meine Hochzeitsreise.
Und wo ist der Mann?
Ich habe keinen Mann.
Ich habe eine Frau und sie ist nicht einfach.
Sie will nicht mit mir nach Wien fahren.
Ich bin traurig.
Es tut mir leid.
Okay, wir sind am Bahnhof.
Eine Frau rennt zum Taxi.
Sophia?
Eva!
Es tut mir so leid!
Ich liebe dich.
Ich liebe dich auch.
Ich fahre mit dir nach Wien!
Gute Reise!

Liz blew out the candles in one breath and said what she wished for.
Her parents gasped with shock when they heard her wish.
Mom, Dad. Please take a deep breath.
Liz's father sighed heavily and said, "You can't be a princess, Liz. We're just ordinary citizens."
With a broad smile on her face, Liz blew on her tea to cool it.
Suddenly, the door blew open and a young man came into the room.
He was the prince of their country. He was gasping for breath
* gasp for breath
"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lee," he said between gasps of breath.
* say between gasps of breath
After getting his breath back, he said, "Could you give me permission to marry your daughter?"
* get one's breath back
Liz's father sighed with pleasure and said, "It would be a great honor, Your Highness."
Liz's mother started crying and blew her nose.
Liz and the prince breathed a sigh of relief.
