Japanese English!!

Japanese English is meanings to the English words. It sounds like English but it doesn’t express English. These words doesn’t get through in English block people. I would like write about these words. There is a lot of Japanese English in Japan. I sometime use words that I think are English, but people who use English can’t understand me. When I use words of “concent” in Japan, it expresses the plug’s entrance that receives the plug from an electric cord. However, English doesn’t use this word. When you want to say “concent” in English, you should use “outlet” Why did the difference happen between English and Japanese?　Some people say” concentric plug” as English became “concent plug” in Japanese. As a result it became “concent” So Japanese people use “concent”. This word can be understood only by Japanese people.
Another Japanese English word is “cunning”. This word is used when student cheats an exam. Cunning is Japanese English too. In Japan, “cunning” is meanings to “cheating”. Originally, cunning means crafty or sly in English. For example, “He is a cunning man.”, so I think the word started to be used to describe cheating an exam.
If you want to drive in English speaking country, you should use “Gas Station” If you say “Where is a gasoline stand?” You will be said “Are you crazy?” by English block people. They will think “Gasoline is standing?” In this case, gas means gasoline. I searched on the web and I found it that native people image small scare when the word “stand” heard. For example, shop which sell ice-cream or drink with small table and umbrella in the road side express ice-cream stand. In British use petrol instead of gasoline, so they say “petrol station”. Thus the word differs widely between Japan and British and American. It is very interesting that each country has different expression.
I’ll give some synonym of Japanese English next. In this case, synonym means another meaning of the same word that is used in Japanese and English. There is “fried potato” : a word as good example. This word express such as McDonald’s potato when Japanese people use it. American don’t use the word fried potato, they say “French fries”. To my surprise, the word of “fried potato” existence in English. However, a meaning is not same. In English it means a fried whole potato.
How about “baby car”? Similarly, this word is synonym, but a meaning different. Japanese people use as car to carry a baby. If you use “baby car” when you go to foreign country, it means small type car in English, because baby means small or little. A vehicle to carry a baby is a “baby carriage” or “stroller” in English. You should be careful when you use these words in foreign country.
Besides the ones I showed above, there are many other Japanese English in Japan. You will not know these words meanings if you lived in Japan for a long time. I think that we have to understand difference of really English and Japanese English

KANI KANI♪♪

Do you like crab? Today, I had a Kani nabe for dinner. I like clab very much.However, clab is difficult to eat. It takes a few minutes. I am lazy. so this time we bought peeled crab.^^ We could eat it easily.The crab was delicious. There were many ingredient in the nabe. Hakusai, Siitake, Age, Kuzukiri and so on. Do you know Kuzukiri? I like it. It's noodle. It is something like Tokoroten. Clab is expensive, so I couldn't eat much. My mother said "Let's go to eat Kani next what we can eat as much as we like" We agreed with her opinion. It was a lovely dinner.

Kyoto racecourse!!

Today, October 25th Kikka prize was held in Kyoto racecourse.

I work in Kyoto racecourse as ticket collector. (チケットもぎり)I just cut the ticket what I should. It's easy,but I always very tired. Because I am standing for a long time.

In previous day, Master said to us, "56,000 people came here last year, so our goal of this year is 60,ooo people!!"

Kikka prize is big event, so it's early time than usual days what gate open. I woke up 5:30 the day. It's hard for me, because I always wake up 7:00 o'clock. On arriving race course, I wore the uniform. It's white, and the uniform has scarf. I like the uniform. There were a lots of people in front of gate since yesterday. They were sitting on the sheet. As soon as gate open, many people came into the gate as running. I saw a few acquaintance among them. They are students.

Kikka prize's admission ticket is different from usual ticket. It's special ticket, because the ticket is issued only the day. Some of the customer said to me, " Cut the ticket well!" or "Don't tear it!" I have to cut the ticket well.

I finished my work and I rode train to go home. There were tremendous people into the train. I couldn't believe it. I was packed like a baggage by station attendant. Someone said, "Don't push! I have kids!" But I couldn't do anything for it.

Anyway, I was very tired today.>< I will go to bed earlier as soon as possible. Thank you.

Mysterious stories!!

Today, I would like to talk about mysterious stories in the world. Have you ever seen a UFO or natural yourself(自分とそっくりの人物) before? Have you ever seen or heard its like?

I have experienced kanashibari when I was high school student. It was very strange!! I was sleeping in the bed. I was overborned(押さえつけられた) by something. It can't see. I want to move, but it has enourmaous power. In addition to, my body was freezing at that time. So I couldn't move from the spot. I recognized that this was kanashibari.

There are many mysterious phenomenons in the world. Some of those can't proof by science. I found interesting story in the book.

A prisoner who is determined death penalty(死刑が確定したある囚人) said " I will die soon, so I want somebody to help!!"(誰かの役に立ちたい) A scientist laid the prisoner in the bed, and blindfolded the prisoner.(囚人に目隠しをした) Then, the scientist putted to his arm under anesthesia.(麻酔をかける) After, the scientist fully turned on the water. The scientist said, "Wow! Much blood is dripping down from your arm! You will die soon." The prisoner heard it, and the prisoner became pale. Finally he really died!!(本当に死んじゃった・０・)
Do you believe ?
By the way, I had a difficult time writing this sentence. My English is not good.><; You may not understand. If so, please ask me!
