Greetings! This week, the people of Japan will be visited by the shortest day of the year. We've prepared a four-part series to mark the event, which we hope will brighten your spirits a little during the long hours of darkness!
EQUATOR 赤道
- The equator is the imaginary circle around the earth that lies exactly halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.
- equator とは、北極点と南極点のちょうど中間にあって、地球を回っている想像上の円、つまり、赤道、という意味です。
- The equator runs through Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia, and a number of other countries.
- Because the sun is so strong at the equator, it's important to protect your skin.
- (while looking at Mt. Kilimanjaro)
It's amazing that there can be snow on a mountain just 200 miles south of the equator. - (on the phone with a friend in Singapore)
a: What's the weather like there?
b: Well, we're right on the equator, so it's hot all year round.
May it be a day filled with sunshine and spices in the air!
