前回成田に着いたBenですが、いったいどこに向かったのでしょう？
Ben arrived at Shinjuku station feeling even more tired than before, but also even more excited!
The station was extremely busy, and he ended up walking around in circles for over 30 minutes.
He was feeling fatigued and peckish, so he stopped at a café inside the station to buy a bacon
and tomato sandwich.
The sandwich was delicious and he felt refreshed after eating it.
With newfound energy, Ben finally made his way out of the station and up to the streets above.
ようやく、新宿駅にBenは着いたようですが。。。
む～む、やっぱり外国から来た人には新宿駅は迷いやすいんですね。
さぁ、今回Benが使っていた単語は、どうやって発音すればいいのでしょうか？
3)
fatigueという単語は、
fanと発音し、次に
teaと、次に
greatと発音してください。
口にfa, tea, gの感じが残っているうちに、fa-tea-gと発音すると
ハイ、fatigueの出来上がりです。
では、次にfatigueの意味と例文の解説をどうぞ。
Meaning
To be fatigued means to be physically or mentally tired because of prior exertion.
Notes
For most everyday explanations, tired is more commonly used than fatigued.
In the passage above, Ben is described as being “fatigued and peckish”. Peckish is used to describe feeling slightly hungry.
Fatigue can also be used to explain how someone has become bored of something due to overexposure; e.g. “After a day of looking around shops with my girlfriend, I was suffering from shopping fatigue!”
Examples
“He’s been studying so hard. I think he’s feeling a little fatigued”
いかがでしたか？
では、次回は、fatigueの発音を解説します。
お愉しみに！
