2008.01.16(Review of 2004.09.07 edition)
Here are two words that sum up this week's theme very nicely!
TIME FLIES 光陰矢の如し
- Time flies means that time passes quickly.
Be Careful! The past tense of “fly” is “flew”. - time flies は、時間はすぐに過ぎてゆく、つまり、光陰矢の如し、という意味です。
注意:fly の過去形は flew です。
- Time flies when you're having fun!
- a: Look at the time! It's already 5 o'clock!
b: My! How time flies! - (two passengers on a plane)
a: I can't believe we're already there!
b: Neither can I. The time flew so quickly! I really enjoyed talking with you.
Gotta go!
