Hello! Well, it was not planned, but this second week on the theme of accidents and disasters is ending on Friday the 13th! How very appropriate. How very strange!
- Lightning is a bright flash of light caused by electricity jumping from a cloud to the ground.
Thunder is the loud sound you hear after a flash of lightning. - lightning は、電気を帯びた雷雲から地上に向かって走る閃光、つまり稲妻のことです。
thunder は、稲妻の後に聞こえる大きな音、つまり雷鳴のことです。
- Lightning lit the night sky.
- There was a flash of lightning so bright it looked like night had turned to day.
- a: The lights just went out!
b: I can see that! Lightning must have struck a power line. - A man was struck by lightning at the country club last weekend.
- The sky was getting dark, and we heard thunder in the distance.
- My daughter is frightened of thunder. She puts her fingers in her ears during storms.
- There was a blinding flash of light and a tremendous crash of thunder that shook the house.
Stay well, and have a terrific weekend!
