Narrator: Queen Elizabeth the First was born in 1533. Her father, King Henry the Eighth, was disappointed that his second wife Anne Boleyn had not produced a son and he had Anne’s head cut off when Elizabeth was only two years old. Elizabeth received the same education that a son would have and studied classical and modern languages, history and religion.

Narrator: When Henry died in 1547, Elizabeth’s younger brother Edward briefly became king, but on his death in 1553, her older sister Mary took over. Mary was a Catholic and wanted to bring England back into the Catholic faith after her father had broken with the Catholic Church and the Pope in Rome. She tried to achieve this by force and had 300 Protestants burnt at the stake. When “Bloody Mary” died childless in 1558, Elizabeth became queen.

Narrator: The first challenge Elizabeth faced was to bring the country together after the religious conflicts it had experienced during Mary’s rule. The Church of England that she set up occupied a middle ground between the Catholic and Protestant faiths and allowed some freedom in people’s personal beliefs as long as they attended church regularly. This saved England from further violence, although there were constant threats from both sides.

Narrator: Elizabeth was very skilled at presenting an image. She had many pictures of herself painted wearing expensive clothes and jewelry as well as makeup to make her face look pale, sometimes showing herself as a goddess or other figure from classical myths. She traveled around the country regularly on horseback so she could see and be seen by her people, who were very loyal to her.

Narrator: Elizabeth never married. Many men both at home and abroad wanted to marry her, but she played them off against each other. This meant she could avoid taking sides in various domestic and foreign political and religious conflicts, but it also meant that when she died, there would be no clear heir. She saw herself as married to the country...

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は22℃。少し暖かいです。

昨日、おとといと雨が降っていました。
今日は晴れているので、とても気持ちがいいです。

今日は家の近くにある、水族館と、この地域で有名な鮭、サーモンについて話します。

サケのふるさと 千歳水族館は、サケや北方地域のさまざまな淡水魚を観察できる水族館です。千歳川の隣にあるので、水族館からガラス越しに千歳川の水中をのぞけことができます。

この日本初の「水中観察室」は、9〜10月になると遡上(そじょう)、川の流れと反対に上ってくることですね、してきたサケでガラスの窓が埋め尽くされ、冬には産卵の瞬間を見られることもあるそうです。

私も、北海道に引っ越してきた時に行きましたが、とてもおもしろい水族館でした。大きくはないですが、見れるものがたくさんあります。そしてやはり、川の水の中をガラス越しに見ることができるのは本当にとてもおもしろいです。魚が泳いでいる本当の姿を見ることができます。

サケは産卵の時期になると、自分が生まれた川へ戻ってきます。サケが、進化のなかで海で成長するようになりました。エサの豊富な海で成長します。そして、海よりも安全な場所で産卵するために、生まれた川へ戻ってきます。

生まれた川がどうしてわかると思いますか？
これは、川で生活している時に、その川のにおいをおぼえているからだそうです。

サケは成長する時は海へ出ます。サケによっては、日本からロシア、カナダの海を通ってアラスカの方まで行き、3.4年後に戻って来るそうです。

生まれた川は「におい」で判断しているらしいことが分かっています。ですが、においだけをたよりに何千㎞も泳ぐことは当然、難しいと思います。

渡り鳥は太陽や星の位置で場所をとらえているといわれますが、サケに関しては、いまだに謎が多いそうです。


ということで、今回はサケと水族館について話しました。
今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
