Hello!
As beautiful as ocean views from a beach can be, you'll nonetheless find a lot of people with their eyes on the ground. Here's why!
(SEA)SHELL (貝)殻
- A shell is the hard case that covers clams, crabs, turtles, nuts, eggs, etc.
A seashell is the empty shell of a clam, oyster, or similar ocean animal. - shell とは、貝、カニ、亀、木の実、卵などを覆っている堅い皮、つまり、殻、甲羅のことです。
seashell とは、貝や牡蠣などの海洋生物のぬけ殻、つまり、貝殻のことです。
- a: There's a piece of shell in my scrambled eggs.
b: Oh, sorry! - My pet turtle likes to hide inside his shell when my friends come over to see him.
- a: You know that smooth, pearl-colored substance on the inside of oyster shells? What do you call it, again?
b: Mother-of-pearl. - The girls found some beautiful seashells on the beach. Look!
They say that you can hear the ocean if you hold a seashell up to your ear. When was the last time you had a listen?
