今日の週末の英語の習慣化の題材は...

肥満の乗客が席に挟み込まれたというニュースから..
Wedgeとかれパラチオのとか、あまり日常で見慣れない単語が出て来ました。しかし日本語でも良く使用される単語です。この際覚えておきましょう!イメージとして記憶すれば覚えやすいですよ!

 

An American Airlines passenger is asking the company for "reparations" after tweeting that she was "wedged" between two "obese people" on a three-hour flight.

Sydney Watson, who describes herself as an Australian/American political commentator, posted to Twitter on Monday stating that she was "literally - WEDGED between two OBESE people on my flight."

"This is absolutely NOT acceptable or okay. If fat people want to be fat, fine. But it is something else entirely when I'm stuck between you, with your arm rolls on my body, for 3 hours," Watson said.

In the tweet thread, Watson said that "If you need a seat belt extender, you are TOO FAT TO BE ON A PLANE."
