— Oi! Você gosta de animais?

— Eu tenho uma gata chamada Luna. Ela é muito fofa. Como é o seu cachorro?

— O Bob é brincalhão e adora correr no parque. Ele é meu melhor amigo.

— A Luna adora dormir e brincar com bolinhas de papel. Animais de estimação são bem divertidos, não são?

— Sim! Eles nos fazem felizes. Como você pegou a Luna?

— Adotei ela de um abrigo de animais. Ela era muito pequena na época.

— Legal. O Bob também é um cachorro resgatado. Eles merecem todo o amor do mundo.

— Com certeza! Animais de estimação nos ensinam sobre amor incondicional. Fico feliz em te conhecer… e ao Bob.

— Igualmente. Até mais!

今日は、年齢に関する言葉のお話をしたいと思います。

皆さんは、アラサー　という　言葉を聞いたことがありますか。

アラサーとは、アラウンドサーティの略で、30歳前後の人を指す和製英語です。
２７歳から３２歳の年齢を指すことが多いです。
英語では、around the age of 30”ですね。

では、４０歳前後の人は、何と呼ぶと思いますか？
正解は、「アラフォー」です。Around the age og 40 ですね。
５０歳前後の人は、「アラフィフ」、６０歳前後の人は「アラ還（かん）」　と呼ばれています。
６０歳は　日本で　還暦（かんれき）　と呼ばれているからです。

Around40 〜注文の多いオンナたち〜という　ドラマが流行し、「アラフォー」という言葉が生まれました。
このドラマは、40歳を間近に控えた主人公のお医者さんが仕事、恋愛、結婚などに悩む姿を描いた作品です。

そして、「アラフォー」という言葉は２００８年の流行語大賞にも選ばれました。
流行語大賞は、日本で一年間に話題となった新しい言葉や流行語を選び、その言葉に関わった人を表彰する賞のことです。

みなさんの国にも、アラサー、アラフォーなどと同じ意味の言葉がありますか？
もしあったら、教えてくださいね！

年齢（ねんれい）を表す特別な言葉　The special words for age  ★Intermediate

PATTY: I’m really excited for Aunt Mary’s surprise birthday party
this afternoon! Aren’t you?
SUSAN: Yeah! How old is she?
PATTY:  She’ll be 55 on May 14 [fourteenth].
SUSAN: Wow! I didn’t know that my mom was older — she’s going
to be 57 on September 2 [second]. Anyway, Aunt Mary’s 
going to be so surprised to see us all here!
PATTY: I know! But we still have to get all the food set up before 
she gets here … OK! We’re all ready now. Shh! She’s here!
ALL: Surprise!


LANGUAGE NOTES
• I’m really excited … Notice the emphasis on “really.” “Really” is used to emphasize the 
adjective “excited” here.
• Birthday party Notice that the normal stress for a compound noun falls on the first 
element of the compound.
• Aren’t you? This negative tag is used to show that the speaker expects a positive 
answer. Patty assumes that Susan is also looking forward to the party.
• She’ll be 55 Notice that “55” is stressed here. This detail answers the question “How 
old is she?”
• Fourteenth Notice that we use “th” for ordinal numbers, starting with 4 [but first, 
second and third]. The stress is on the second syllable [fourTEENTH]. Compare this with 
“fortieth: 40th” [FORtieth].
• She’s going to be ... Notice how this is pronounced like “gonna be.” Instead of four 
syllables “go/ing/to/be” there are three syllables “ga/na/be.”
