Today's Lesson
NATURAL / ARTIFICIAL   自然の／人工の

Explanation

  • To say that a food or ingredient is natural  means that no chemical substances have been added or that it comes from nature and was not made by man.

    Artificial  means NOT natural.
  • 食品や食材について natural  と言うと、化学物質が加えられていない、とか、人工的に作られたものではなく自然の産物だ、という意味になります。

    artificial  は、natural  の反対の意味です。

  2. There's nothing artificial  in this cake. It's made with 100% natural  ingredients.
