前回やっと新宿駅を脱出したBenですが、新宿の街はBenの目にはどのように映ったのでしょうか？
Ben stepped out of the station and was immediately surprised by the sight in front of him.
Although he had come from a big city, he could quickly see London and Tokyo were very different!
The city he had arrived in felt even more exhilarating than London,
and he was instantly invigorated by the new sights and sounds.
Even at such a late hour, the city felt alive and the muggy summer air made him begin
to perspire surprisingly quickly; the weather was another thing which was very different in Tokyo!
Although he wanted to explore the city now, he decided the sensible thing to do would be to make his way to the hotel and have a few hours rest before morning.
Tomorrow was his first full day in Tokyo and he didn't want to feel exhausted.
Ben got into a taxi, asked the driver to take him to his hotel,
and arrived just as the sun was starting to rise.
新宿はBenにとって、魅力的に映ったようです。
ロンドンより活気があるんですね。
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？
2)
exhilaratingという単語は、
extraと発音し、次に
I'llと発音し、次に
herと発音し、次に
aimと発音し、次に
excitingと、発音してください。
口にex, ill, er, a, tingの感じが残っているうちに、ex-ill-er-a-tingと発音すると
ハイ、exhilaratingの出来上がりです。
では、次にexhilaratingの意味と例文の解説をどうぞ。
Meaning
When someone feels exhilarated they feel refreshed, invigorated, excited and happy.
Notes
Exhilarating is used to describe a THING/EXPERIENCE which makes you FEEL exhilarated.
This is a general rule, and often “_______ING” can be used to talk about how something is,
while “________ED” can be used to talk about how something makes someone feel.
For example, “The movie was frightenING”/“I felt frighteneED”, or,
“I’m excitED about going to Hawaii”/”Going to Hawaii was excitING”.
Examples
“The roller-coaster ride was exhilarating”
いかがでしたか？

お愉しみに！
