【No. 0588】100 Times of Hiccups
Jul 28, 2016 10:31
In Japan, there is a superstition that you will die when you get hiccups 100 times continuously.
Since I was afraid of this when I was a child, I had counted the number of hiccups.
However in most cases, I forgot to count it from around 10 times, and hiccups stopped before I was aware.
Also, even if you get hiccups over 100 times, of course you won't die.
An American, Mr. Osborne, continued to get hiccups for about 68 years, and this fact is listed in the Guinness Book of World.
While getting hiccups, he got married two times, and had eight children.
It is estimated that the number of hiccups he got in his lifetime was over 430 million.

100回のしゃっくり
日本には、しゃっくりが100回出ると死ぬ、という迷信があります。
私は子供の頃死ぬのが怖くて、しゃっくりが出始めたら回数を数えていました。
しかし、大抵10回くらいから数えるのを忘れ、いつの間にかしゃっくりも止まっていることがほとんどです。
そして、仮にしゃっくりが100回出ても、死ぬことはありません。
アメリカ人のオズボーン氏は、約68年間しゃっくりをし続けたとして、ギネスに登録されています。
しゃっくりをしながら、2度の結婚をして、8人の子どもに恵まれました。
彼が生涯でしたしゃっくりの回数は、4億3千万以上だと推定されています。

100 Hiccups
After reading your story, I think this is what you mean.
If I have 100 Hiccups, I go "hick" 100 times.
Hiccups 100 times means on 100 occasions I had many "hicks"
Also "to hiccup" is a verb.
