&
Intrude
じゃあ、
Hey, how is everything today?
Is it hot enough for you??
The heat is really intruding
in my life!!!
What does this mean?
First, let's ask what is an intruder??
This is someone who enters
a home without permission!
He is unwanted
and disturbs
the people that
are living there!!!
The heat is disturbing my life!
The heat is intruding on my life!!
If you need to interrupt a conversation,
it's very polite to say:
"forgive me for intruding"
What's the adjective form???
Intrusive
The government can be so intrusive.
Work is so intrusive!!!
I don't seem to
have any free time lately!!
Hey, your intruding on my privacy!!!
Invade
What does this mean??
This is usually used to describe
entering another country forcefully!
This can be used for other situations as well!!
"America invaded Iraq."
"She invaded my home."
"A bug invaded my ramen."
What's the adjective???
Invasive
If you live in a region with a lot
of bears, you might think they
are invasive animals.
They like to eat people's food!!!
They invade homes!
Plants can be invasive too!!!
Have you ever heard of Kudzu??? 葛(くず)
In America, it sounds like "カッッドズゥ (ku'dzu)."
This is a plant that
comes from Japan.
It was brought to
the southern part
of the United States
around 1935.
Farmers were encouraged to plant it.
It would help with soil erosion, however
there were many bad effects!!!
They can't stop it!!!
It is growing at
a rate of 150,000
acres a year!!!
It's a very invasive plant. It invades new
areas rapidly. The south was a perfect
environment for it because it's hot
and humid with very mild winters.
This is called "the plant that ate the south."
It is used in Japan for food!!!
英語でこれなんていう???
要点
The point
"What's your
point?"
"What's the
point of the
conversation?"
"What was the
main point
in that film?"
If you drive in Alabama, you will see
Kudzu over everything!!!
