Es De Verdad

Mona and I discuss an enigmatic concept known as the American Dream. What does it mean and what doesn't it mean? How do Americans and non-Americans view it differently? In our conversation, we attempt to tease out some answers.

(By the way, my apologies for the poor sound quality in this episode. I'll certainly do my best to fix it for the next episode!)

同じ気温でも　暑いと感じるか　寒いと感じるかは　人によって違います。
わたしは　大阪の近くに住んでいます。
今朝の最低気温は3℃でした。私にとっては　かなり寒いです。
朝、起きたら　暖房をつけます。
でも、ある海外の生徒さんに、「今日は寒いですか」ときいたら、「寒くない」と言います。
それで、気温は何度かきいたら、「－15℃です。」と言うんですね。
－15℃！　寒いでしょ！！　
こんなふうに、住んでいる場所によって　同じ気温でも、暑い、寒いの感じ方は　全く違うということですね。

Whether you feel hot or cold at the sam temperature depends on the person.　I live near Osaka.　The lowet temperature this morning was 3 degrees. It is quite cold for me.
Ｂut when asked one overseas student if it was cold todey, she replied tha it wasn't.
So I asked her what the temperature was, and she said minus 15 degrees.
-15℃！　It's really cold!
Depending on where you live, you may feel hot and cold at the same temperature in very different ways.
