きのう見た夢なんちって

英会話教室で先週見た夢について描写してくるようにとの宿題が出た。
作文、イヤ・・
でも、やってみる。




The dream I had

I’m walking through the (a) town.

 

Old buildings are standing in the streets.
(There are old buildings every where.)

 

I stop at the end of the road and look around.

 

There is a bus stop on my left.  

Many people are waiting for the bus.

 

Venders holding heavy burdens（packages),  high school students chatting each other. Men look tired and more.

 

I turn to the right

 I can see a way to the hill.  

 There are houses with take cared garden(well cared for gardens) beside the street.
  And(A ) coffee shop is open. I don't know why but I understand (know) its (the) owner’s house is behind the coffee shop.  I also know there is our family graveyard (grave) is on the hill.

 

Those(These) scenes are really familiar to me.

 

To tell the truth, this is not what I had this week.

I saw this image in my dreams once and again.(a few times)

I had not dreamt at all this week. It would be easy to say I could not do my homework but I'd like to try (do )something about (for) my homework.


実は私のは授業の最後にやったので、時間切れで説明・質問の時間がありませんでした。
訂正されたのを渡されただけです。

以下が先生の作文（？）です。

間違いが結構あります。見つけられますか？

During the the past week I have tried to remenber what I dremed  but was unable to. I usually wake up and immediately thinking about tｈe dream I just dreamed. 

But this past week is different.
 I could not remenber a dream I had. This is not the usual for me. I usually lay on bed when I first wake up and enjoy to think about the dreams I just had.
Perhaps trying so hard to remember forced them further away. 

Have you ever tried to rember something so hard that the act of trying seemed to make it harder to remember?
Sometimes when we are trying to remember something it is better to stop trying and think about something else. The thing we were trying to remember may suddenly come to uswhile we are going about our day.

Unfortunately, this was not the case for me. I could not remember any of the dreams I had last week.

During the the past week I have tried to remenber what I dremed (dreamt) but was unable to. 
I usually wake up and immediately thinking (think) about hte dream I just dreamed(had).

 But this past week is (was) different. I could not remenber a (any dream)dream(s) I had. This is not the (もちろんナシ！）usual for me.
 I usually lay on(in) bed when I first wake up and enjoy to think(thinking) about the dreams I just had.

Perhaps trying so hard to remember forced them further (farther) away. Have you ever tried to rember(remember) something so hard that the act of trying seemed to make it harder to remember?

Sometimes when we are trying to remember something it is better to stop trying and think about something else. The thing we were trying to remember may suddenly come to us while we are going about our day.

緑色の所がわからなかったとこなんですが、もう耐え切れません。寝ます。明日できれば、書きます・・・



《翌日追記》

私がひっかかった事の一つは、

I usually lay in bed....

と言うくだり。
usually と言うからには、現在形でしょう？　lie じゃないの？
先生自信満々、これでいいと言うけど、私のどの文法本もそういってないもの！！
私が結構しつこく言ったもんだから、先生もちょっと混乱してきて、口の中でブツブツ言い直したりしていた。
で、結論。
やはり、アメリカ人は、I lay in bed. と云う。だから、イギリス人は、米語が嫌いなんだわ、と話が飛ぶ。
じゃ、私がアメリカ人に、I usually lie in bed.... と言うと通じないのかと聞くと、答えは、もちろん通じるが、ブリティッシュに聞こえるそうだ。
ふ～ん。混乱しないのだろうか？不思議。

もう一つのほうは、

We are going about our day.
一生懸命に説明してくれるのだけど、もヒトツわからない。
＝I am minding my own business.
だそうだ。わかったような、わからないような。。。
