Hey, how is everything?
It feels like winter here!!!
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
スリーピーホロー
This is one of America's
most famous works
of fiction that is still
read today!!!
What is a hollow?
This is similar to
a valley, but smaller!
This word is generally
used in the eastern
part of the U.S.
A hollow is usually
between two small
wooded hills!!!
Good version for ESL Students:
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
is a scary story about
The Headless
Horseman!!!
This ghost rides each
night to find his head!!
His body is buried in
the Old Dutch Church
Burying Ground!
This story is one of
the most famous
Halloween Stories
in America!!!
*hollow: (山あいの)小渓谷
valley: 谷、渓谷
legend: 伝説
bury: 埋める
burying ground: 墓地
Sleepy Hollow: Book by Washington Irving (wiki)
Sleepy Hollow: Travel Guide
Halloween
ハロウィン
This is a fun holiday
in America!!!
It originally came from
Europe, but it has changed
a lot!
The original name of
the festival was Samhain
(サワーン)!
Originally, good and bad
spirits came back to
earth on this day!!!
Now, it is usually
associated with
bad spirits. This is
why people pretend
to be witches and
scary creatures!!!
*pretend to be~: ~のふりをする
be associated with~: ~と関係がある
witch: 魔女
英語でこれなんていう???
墓
Grave
There are many
old graves in Sleepy hollow!
This makes it a perfect
place for a Halloween story!!!
"Old graves are spooky."
"Grave sites are scary
at night, don't you think?"
"Are graves scarier
in Japan?"
*spooky: 不気味な、幽霊の出そうな
I went to the real
Sleepy Hollow for
Halloween!!! It was
so cool!!
Tarrytown タリータウン情報
Lefteris Gyro(Authentic Greek Cuisine)
野菜たっぷりのGyroやSouvlakiが美味しかった!
お値段もとってもリーズナブル
Main Streetの交差点角にあるので、すぐわかります
Coffee Labs Roasters
ドリンクもペイストリー類もレベル高し!
マンハッタンにあるCoffee Shopにも引けを取らないおいしさ
お店の入口でコーヒーをローストしているのがまた最高!
コイン式の駐車場に駐車したところ、近所の人が
日曜はコインを入れなくていいのだと教えてくれました。
