2012/02/19 #311fromjapan on Lang-8 東日本大震災から1年を、英語で振り返る

Lang-8は、もうアカウント削除ずみなのだけど、当時のスクショが残っていたので、震災12周年を控えてることもあるし、再掲。

We had an earthquake in Mito again.
I was at work today for ninth-graders’ practice test for high school entrance exam coming March 6.
It was so big that some cell phone with earthquake alert system rang during the lesson.

The cell phone beeps really made me frightened, so I began trembling and couldn’t keep on my lesson.
One of the students said to me, “Don’t worry, this quake is less serious than the historical one on 03/11.”

It was a little embarrassing but touching to be conforted by a student.

まだガラケーを使用してる人達も多かった頃の、緊急地震速報が鳴り響いて、ほんとうに辛かった。
条件反射で、机の下にもぐったっけ。
