Today's entry is about World Heritage Site.
David: In Japan you can see lots of TV programmes about UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The other evening I was watching one about heritage sites in mountainous regions. Then yesterday I saw one about the university in Pennsylvania where George Washington went. Before I came to Japan I don't think I even knew what a World Heritage Site was!
Yoshiko: Are there many in the UK?
David: I'm not sure. I'll look it up on the internet....
David: There are 27! Quite a lot. Oh, I was forgetting; actually in Liverpool, my home town, there is one. It's the old dock area where ships would come from all over the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries. During that time Liverpool was one of the most important ports in the world and it became hugely rich, although unfortunately a lot of the wealth came from the slave trade. There are lots of beautiful buildings there, though.
Yoshiko: I wonder if there are any World Heritage Sites in Yokohama!
David: According to the website, the nearest one is Nikko.
Yoshiko: Oh, Toshogu? Have you seen the monkeys?
David: See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil?
Yoshiko: No, I mean the real monkeys who steal everybody's food!

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 今日は世界遺産について話します。
デーヴィッド：日本のテレビでは世界遺産についての番組がたくさん見られるよね。一昨日見てたんだけど、ある山地についてのを見たし、昨日もジョージ ワシントンが行ったペンシルベニア州にある大学についてだった。日本に来る前は「世界遺産」があるなんて知らなかったよ。
ヨシコ：イギリスにはたくさんあるの？
デーヴィッド：わかんないな。ちょっとインターネットで見てみるね。
。。。
デーヴィッド：２７個もあるよ。たくさんだね。あれ、すっかり忘れてたけど、実は僕の故郷リバプールの港にもあるんだ。18世紀と19世紀、英帝国の植民地からいろんな品がリバプールに来て、その時代世界でも一番重要な港の１つだったんだ。その富は奴隷貿易からもたらされたんだけどね。そこにはすごくきれいな建物がたくさんあってね。
ヨシコ：横浜には世界遺産はあるのかしら？
デヴィッド：ホームページによると一番近いのは日光だね。
ヨシコ：東照宮ね。猿見た？
デーヴィッド：見ざる、言わざる、聞かざる？
ヨシコ：違う、食べ物を盗む本物よ！
Thank you for voting.
