このところ,朝調子があまり良くないのですが,低血圧ではありませんでした。

またまた貧乏性ゆえ,FeBe!のクーポンを使って,澄子本の音声を買いました。
これで,3部作の音声が揃いました。でも,この音声を学習に使っている方は
ほとんどいないような気がします。
口ずさみたいような表現ほとんどありませんしねえ(またもや安物買いの銭失い)。

週プレの次号予告を見てきましたが,増田有華さんの名前はありませんでした。
雑魚扱いなのか。。。orz

Folklore and Fairy Tales: The Princess and the Pea

There are several morals that can be derived from “The Princess and the Pea.” 
However, the most popular one is that people should not judge others 
based on their appearances.


The lesson is that you should not judge others by their appearance. 
Some people might not look as you might expect them to look, 
but appearances can be deceiving. The queen did not expect the princess 
to look like she did, but a person's identity is not rooted in her hairstyle or 
clothes.


The moral lesson is not to judge people by what they look like.



lost not knowing where you are or which way to go:
A couple of tourists who were lost asked for directions.
We got lost driving around the city.

injured having an injury: an injured bird
badly/severely/seriously injured He does not seem to be badly injured.

drunk [not before noun] unable to control your behavior, speech, etc.
because you have drunk too alcohol:
He gets in fights when he's drunk.
One of the salesman got drunk while entertaining clients.
Michael's drunk as a skunk (=very drunk).
