【No. 0097】Hot Spring

Mar 25, 2015 22:52
Today, I woke up at my university.

I had a little hangover headache, but I patiently did my research to submit a paper.

In the evening, I went to a hot spring with my junior.

The hot spring, which is surrounded by mountains, have a wide open-air bath, and it was really comfortable.

Nagano prefecture where I live has about two thousand hot spring facilities, so we can enjoy various hot springs.

Also, there are over 20 thousand hot spring facilities in total in Japan.

When you came to Japan, please do soak and relax in a hot spring bath.
今日は学校で目が覚めました。

二日酔いで少し頭が痛かったですが、論文を書くためひたすら研究をしました。

夜には、後輩と一緒に温泉に行きました。

山の中にある、広い露天風呂がついた温泉で、とても気持ちがよかったです。

私の住む長野県は、約2000の温泉施設があり、様々な温泉を楽しむことができます。

また、日本全体では20000以上の温泉施設があります。

日本に来た時は、是非温泉にゆっくり浸かっていってください。

  • In the evening, I went to a hot spring with my junior (what).

    This is correct... but in English we usually don't refer to people as our "junior" or "senior" the same way that the Japanese do. I think is is better to describe what "junior" is referring to, or else just use a word like "friend" "coworker" "employee" or something.

    Or, "the hot springs... which are... have..."

    Hey! I've been to Nagano =D

Toru
Thank you very much for correcting me! :)
> Hey! I've been to Nagano =D
Wow, really? I liked nature, so I decided to live in Nagano. I hope you enjoyed this place. (^^)
Oceansea
I loved it! I'd like to go back again someday =)
Toru
Please come back to Japan again sometime! :D
Oceansea
I hope I can someday! I need to show the man who taught me to play Go （囲碁）how much I have improved! XD
Toru
Wow, you play Go? Cool! And showing your growth must be so exciting!
Although I like Japanese manga "Hikaru no Go," I can't play Go.
Actually, about 80% Japanese don't know the rule of Go, so you look really cool!
Oceansea
Yeah, I learned to play while in Japan. A friend of the people I was staying with taught me. I also like Hikaru no Go a lot. It is one of the anime I use to study.
Toru
Sounds nice. I think it's a really intelligent and elegant game. I’m jealous!
Oceansea
You should learn how to play! Then we could be Go buddies! XD
Toru
Yeah, I'd like to be able to play Go with you someday! I will learn Go bit by bit between my study! :D
Oceansea
Haha, no pressure =)

    Good! But as the previous commenter shows, in English it's not so common to refer to coworkers/companions as "juniors" or "seniors..." "coworker"/"lab-mate" etc. is sufficient; it's more natural only to bring up ranking/seniority if it becomes important in the context.

Sounds nice!
Haha, 温泉の写真に裸の人は普通写っていないから、実際に行くまでわからないかもしれませんね。私は山の中にある温泉が大好きで、よく行きます。数は少ないですが、混浴（mixed bathing, 男女が一緒に入るお風呂）もありますよ！
