花火

この間、毎晩、俺は寝付かないうちに、住んでる町に花火を聞こえ始める。アメリカの独立記念日が月曜日にになるんだ。約先週から来週まで、花火と祝われているということだ。特に、こんな田舎の町には聞こえる。

実は、俺は花火があまり好きじゃない。猫が三匹飼うんだよ。突然の騒ぎが面倒くさいね。餌をやったり、撫でたり、遊んだりしてる最中に、猫は花火なんか聞いてから慌てて走り回る。音を逃げられない。やれやれね。

Every night around this time in the town I live in, just as I'm falling asleep, I start hearing fireworks. Monday will be the United States's Independence Day. That means that from about the previous week to the following week, celebrations with fireworks take place. You can especially hear it in rural towns like mine.

To be honest, I don't care for fireworks, because I have three cats. Sudden loud noises are a pain. I'll be right in the middle of feeding them or petting them or playing with them, then they'll hear fireworks and run around in a panic. They can't escape the sound. So annoying.
