Why Do Americans Hate the Sound 'T'? American Pronunciation.

在中国山西省的浑源县，有一座很老很老、但是很有名的寺庙，叫作“悬空寺”。In Hunyuan County, Shanxi Province, China, there is an old, very old, but very famous temple called "The Hanging Temple".
        说它“老”，是因为它建在那里已经有1500多年了。它是在中国历史的长河中，有一个叫做“北魏”时期建造的。It's "old" because it's been there for more than 1,500 years. It was built during a period called the Northern Wei Dynasty in the long history of China.
        说它“有名”，是因为这个寺庙建得太奇巧了：它是建在一座山的半山悬崖峭壁上的。It is "famous" because the temple was built in a strange way: it was built on a cliff halfway up a mountain.

「教師（きょうし）」（＝先生）が「走る（はしる）」と書いて「師走（しわす）」と読みます。昔、12月をこう呼びましたが、今でも使われています。いつもは落ち着いている先生が走るくらい、忙（いそが）しい月だという意味です。今も昔も忙しいのは変わりません。なぜなら、12月は日本全国、そうじの季節だからです。本当にそうじしなければ、だめなんですって！日本人とそうじの、深（ふか）～い関係（かんけい）をご紹介（しょうかい）します。
