Le 14 juillet, également connu sous le nom de "fête nationale" ou "jour de la Bastille", est une date chargée de symbolisme et de célébrations. Son origine remonte à l'année 1789, lorsqu'un événement historique marquant s'est produit : la prise de la Bastille. 
Depuis lors, le 14 juillet est devenu un symbole de liberté, d'égalité et de fraternité, valeurs fondamentales de la République française. Chaque année, ce jour est commémoré par des défilés militaires, des feux d'artifice spectaculaires, des bals populaires et bien d'autres festivités qui rassemblent les Français dans un esprit de fierté nationale et d'unité. C'est un moment privilégié pour célébrer notre histoire, nos valeurs et notre attachement à la liberté.

[前回より]  男は私が渡したペットボトルの水をゆっくり飲み始めた。それから、大きく深呼吸をした。


その男はゆっくりていねいに私に質問した。

男　「日本語上手だね〜、どこ出身ですか？」

私　「イタリア出身です。」

男はとても驚いているようだ。

男　「えっ、イタリア人！？、どこ？」

私　「シシリアです。」

男　「まじで〜！　行ったことあるよ、少し住んでいた。」

男は50才くらいだろう。初対面なので、ていねいな話し方だったが、私がイタリア出身の事と私より彼が年上なので、ていねいな話し方とくだけた話し方を混ぜている。

男　「昔にイタリア料理の勉強で1ヶ月いたんだ。なつかしいなー、、　日本は観光で？」

私　「今回は2回目です。」

男　「そうなんだ〜、いいね〜！」

私は声を出さずに笑顔でうなずいた。

男　*「　ところでさ〜、俺が　み•え•る•の？」

[From last time] The man began to slowly drink from the plastic bottle of water I had given him. Then he took a deep breath.


The man asked me a question slowly and carefully.

The man said, "Your Japanese is very good.

I said, "I am from Italy.

The man seemed very surprised.

The guy "What, Italian?  Where?

Me - "Sicilia.

Guy - "Seriously!　I've been there, lived there for a while."

The guy must have been about 50 years old. Since we had never met before, he was very polite, but since I was from Italy and he was older than me, he mixed polite and casual speech.

The guy "I spent a month studying Italian cooking a long time ago. I miss it. Are you in Japan as a tourist?

Me "This is my second time."

Guy - "Oh yeah, that's great!"

I nodded with a smile without speaking.

Guy *"By the way, do you see me?
