Rice's Whereabouts
While we are asked to voluntarily refrain from going out, my wife and I are getting fat. Our staple food is rice, but she said she'd change it to potato and cabbage. I objected her plan, yet she forcibly conducted it. To be surprised, my potbelly is getting flat. I didn't think I can live without rice, but I found I can.
I saw some people buying some dozens killograms of rice at a grocery store and rice was disappeared from a display rack last month. I'm wondering if they can eat up that rice, especially by summer. Japanese summer is so muggy and hot that rice often goes bad unless it's put in a fridge. Some of them were the eldery around 80. I think they have a so big family, othewise, they won't be able to eat up that tons of rice within this year.
I think those who got fat are not only our couple but some other people. I wish those who stocked up rice don't dump its unused rice into Mt. Fuji. Illegal dumping around Mt. Fuji has been still conducted by people and companies.
米の行方
外出自粛を要請されてる中、妻と私は太ってしまった。 我々の主食は米だが、妻がじゃがいもやキャベツに変えると言い出した。 私は反対したが、妻は強行執行した。 驚いたことに、私のぽっこり腹はへこんできた。
ご飯なしでやっていけるとは思わなかったが、やればできることがわかった。
先月、何人かが食料品店で何十キロの米を買い込み、米が商品陳列棚から姿を消すのを見た。
彼らはあの米を、特に夏までに、食べきれるのだろうか。 日本の夏は非常に蒸し暑く、米は冷蔵庫に入れないと、しばし悪くなることがある。 彼らのうち数名は80歳ぐらいのご老人だった。
そのご老人達はさぞや大家族であろうと思う。でなければ、彼らはまず今年中にあれだけの米を食べ切れないだろう。
太ったのは我々夫婦だけでなく、他にもいるだろうと思う。 私は、米を買い溜めした人々が富士山にその米を未使用のまま放棄しないことを願う。住民や会社からの富士山周辺への不法投棄は、今も尚、続いている。
Rice's WhereaboutsWhere to Find Rice
While we are being asked to voluntarily refrain from going out, my wife and I are getting fat.
Our staple food is rice, but she said she'd change it to potato and cabbage.
I objected to her plan, yet she forcibly conducted it.
The verb “object” is followed by “to” when it’s being done to something else. So you could say either “I objected, yet she ...” or “I objected to her plan, yet she...”
To bemy surprised, my potbelly is getting flatflattening.
Or “is going down”. “Getting flat” isn’t really wrong, but it sounds a little unnatural.
I didn't think I canould live without rice, but I’ve found I can.
I think the reason this should be “could” not “can” is to do with the subjunctive. Have you heard of it? It’s very confusing and strange. If you know how to use the word “would”, then the use of “could” is similar. Here’s another way of saying the same thing: “I didn’t think I would be able to live without rice”.
This discovery happened over a period of time, so use “I’ve”.
I saw some people buying some dozens of killograms of rice at a grocery store and rice washad disappeared from a display rack last month.
I'm wondering if they can eat up that rice, especially by summer.
I'm wondering if they can eat up all that rice, especially by summer.
Japanese summer is so muggy and hot that rice often goes bad unless it's put in a fridge.
Some of them were the eldery around 80.
I think they have a sovery big family, otherwise, they won't be able to eat up that tons ofmuch rice within this year.
I think those who got fat are not only our couple but some other people.
I wish those who stocked up on rice doidn't dump itstheir unused rice into Mt.
Fuji.
Illegal dumping around Mt.
Fuji has been stillis still being conducted by people and companies.
