英語学習 アメリカの出来事 日本を英語で説明

Today, we would like to present another of our sushi pages. Please click here to see what we think may be halibut. We explain on the page as follows:

Hirame is yet another fish with a bewildering variety of names in English. Is hirame halibut, flounder, sole, turbot, flatfish, or plaice? The sushi chef where we ate this said this was halibut, so we put halibut first.

If you click the link above, you can read more about this and see a picture of the sushi. Translating sushi names from Japanese to English can be difficult. Sometimes one Japanese name can translate into different English names.

If you are interested in seeing more sushi pictures and reading about more sushi in English, please take a look at our main sushi page.

This quote is from Benjamin Disraeli on who is agreeable:

My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.

Benjamin Disraeli was a British Prime Minister and more.

This quote is from Emile Chartier on scholars:

There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.

Emile Chartier was a famous French philosopher.

This quote is from Albert Einstein on the only two things that are infinite:

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Einstein does not need an introduction, but Einstein as comedian may. In America, everybody wants to be a comedian.

This quote is from Simon Cameron on honest politicians:

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

Simon Cameron was a politician. The offices he held included U.S. senator, Secretary of War for Abraham Lincoln at the start of the Civil War, and minister to Russia.

Was he being a comedian, or did he actually believe that?

We hope it was the former.
