日本はすっかり秋です。各地で秋のお祭りが盛んです。これは「今年もたくさん米がとれました、ありがとう神様！」と、お礼を言うお祭りですね。いい機会なので、三重県を通ったついでに、日本最強の神社、伊勢神宮について考えてみました。私は日本の神話が好きなので、神様のおもしろいエピソードつきで、ちょっぴりご紹介します。熊野古道もでるよ！

すずまりの日本語「きき耳ずきん」S2

第11話　神話の国、三重

Picture this: you’re standing at the coffee machine and a colleague comes over. You don’t know him very well. You both say hello and then you can’t think of much to say. You mumble* something about the weather (if you are British this is a sure thing. We love to talk about the weather) and then… nothing. 

Your mind goes blank* and you stand awkwardly looking at the coffee, wondering why it is taking so long to make…

Or picture this: you’ve joined a meeting online and there are one or two colleagues already there. You’re waiting for others to join and you have to pass the time. But the same thing happens … you can’t think of anything interesting to say and there is awkward silence….

In these situations we need small talk.
