ドイツ人はとてもアイスが好きです。どの町にもアイスカフェが数軒あります。一年中、外でアイスを食べている人を見かけます。三月はまだ寒いですが、天気がいい日にはカフェのテラス席でたくさんの人がアイスを食べています。
ちなみに私はドイツであまりアイスを食べません。イタリアに行った時にジェラートをたくさん食べるからです。
日本ではコンビニでアイスを買う人が多いと思います。私のお気に入りのアイスはもちの中にバニラアイスが入っている雪見大福（ゆきみだいふく）とハーゲンダッツの抹茶味です。
みなさんはどんなアイスが好きですか？

ちなみに：by the way
ハーゲンダッツ：Häagen-Dazs (American ice cream brand)

德商银行：尽管通胀高企，英国央行仍持谨慎态度，英镑或下跌；
德国商业银行表示，市场可能会认为，与美联储或欧洲央行相比，英国央行更为谨慎，这可能会在今年削弱英镑。外汇分析师在一份报告中说，英国央行的立场让人担心他可能在加息方面较为落后。这位分析师表示：“因此，在通胀数据依然高企的背景下，货币政策仍是英镑的负担因素。”分析师指出，英镑明年可能会继续走软，因为英国央行可能会由于经济疲软和通胀有所下降而降息。

Hawaii's regular sunshine, short rain showers and clean air come together to create some of the planet's best conditions for viewing rainbows. Rainbows are seen so often here that a University of Hawaii professor calls the state the "rainbow capital of the world."

"Hawaii has maybe the best rainbows on the planet," said Steven Businger, professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

He has even created an app called RainbowChase to help people find rainbows in Hawaii.

Rainbows form when drops of rain refract sunlight into a spectrum of colors. The brighter the sun, the clearer the rainbow.

Hawaii's winds bring many small showers with enough blue sky between them for the sun to shine through. Conditions are best during the rainy season from October through April.

Visitors should look for rainbows when it's both sunny and raining at the same time. Rainbows will appear opposite the sun. They will seem larger and higher in the sky in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is lower on the horizon.

Rainbows are popular symbols of island life. Pictures of them can be seen on buildings and buses, and even on vehicle license plates.

"They cause us to stand still and for a moment, forget about the past and the future," Businger said.

There are about 20 names for rainbows in the Hawaiian language, including different words for different types of rainbows.

Sam 'Ohu Gon III, senior scientist and cultural adviser at The Nature Conservancy in Hawaii, said rainbows are considered a symbol of Kāne, one of the four main gods in Hawaiian tradition. The closer you get to a rainbow, the more likely you are to meet a supernatural force or a powerful person, he said.

A rainbow is also believed to show that an aumakua — a deified family member or family god — is nearby.
