今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、Nazca(Peruの)高原の謎の地上絵の記事から...
今度新しく見つかったのは、ネコの地上絵でした。日本語でナスカとか言ってますが、英語のスペルはご存知でしたでしょうか?

こう言う単語は、英文記事に直接当たっていないと案外知らないんですよね!

これが、習慣化です!

 

A huge feline figure carved into an arid hillside over 2,000 years ago has been discovered in southern Peru, according to the country's Ministry of Culture.
The ancient geoglyph, which measures 37 meters (121 feet) across, forms part of the Nazca Lines, a collection of hundreds of mysterious artworks etched onto a plateau 250 miles south of Lima.
The cat joins an array of other zoomorphic drawings found across the region's landscape over the last century, including depictions of a hummingbird, a monkey and a pelican. The discovery was made during maintenance work at a visitor vantage point in what is already a popular tourist destination.
