>> 200 Nushi san, good evening❗


I would apologize of being absent for a while.
Now I feel better.

I have read your digest
written about Hemingway🎵


I was reading his personal
history and knew he had met Andre Malraux(French
writer) in Spain at the year 1937.
At the same year he wrote To Have and Have not 『Motsu to motanuto』

Well,
Idon't have so much knowledge
about history but I hope to learn about it constantly.

Yesterday, today may be the
most cold days in this winter🐧

Good night😊
I'll see you tomorrow🎵

Ernest HemingwayⅣ



I'm going to show you some of his works from now on.😁



｢In Our Time｣ A collection of short stories which the author expressed in his early days.｢Indian Camp｣ and ｢The Three Day Blow｣ are printed in this book.📝



｢The Sun Also Rises｣
This book made him a typical author of The Lost Generation.🇺�



｢A Farewell to Arms｣
An Italian who was a Army First Lieutenant ran into a nurse who was engaged in a field hospital. The author described the absurdity and irrationality of the human being in this work.🔫



｢The Snows of kilimanjaro｣
Ten pieces of his splendid works including the entitled one are printed in this book.⛄

Good night. Thank you for your message.I don't mind your absence at all. You have no choice.I'm sure you use your eyes in your whole life,so at first you should cure your eyes completely.😃



By the way,I don't know anything about Hemingway very much.Though I've read ｢The Old Man and the Sea｣ translated into Japanese,I felt boring. It's too abstract.I seemed to make a bad choice,though I want to read his other works.😺



Are you reading his biography, autobiography,or his documents?



I don't know the French writer. If I were young like you,I might study another language,so your remarks on French broaden my lookout.🇫�



Though I returned your eyes, please don't be impatient.Excuse me for repeating myself,you don't have to send back your message to me.👍



As you told it's very cold.Let's take care of ourselves each other.Have a nice night.😁

Holland



We call bad customs and things the ones that people in a country love.😚



For example,when we pay in cash for something, we sometimes split the cost of it. We often call it｢Dutch account｣ and call contraceptive ｢French letter｣😚



In Europe, people in a country say bad things about other people in other country who are similar to them and live next to.😚


For instance,the English think that the French isn't only offensive but also rival,so the English abuse the French,but the French don't yield to them🇬�🇫�


On the other hand lots of people say bad things about the Dutch,why?😚


One of the reason seems that they were wealthy. Spain and Portugal declined,for they drove the Jews away,who moved to Holland,they were moneymakers, so they made a large profit, as the result of it lots of people learned to hate them💰



To be continued. This topic seems to very long.By😁

HollandⅡ



As to bad expressions about the Dutch,there seems to be a lot of the way.I'll show you some of them.｢Dutch wife｣,｢Dutch roll｣,｢The wandering Dutch｣



｢Dutch wife｣ means a substitute doll for the purpose…



｢Dutch roll｣
An airplane repeats rolling and sliding to the siddways,meandered in the air right and left.The flying is called ｢Dutch roll｣✈


｢The wandering Dutch｣
According to a travelog of Holland,there seem to be a episode like that.💡



There was a custom that they mustn't go on a voyage until the Easter was over in Europe long long ago.🚢



A captain of a Dutch regarded it as a trifling superstition,and he sailed.He met with a disaster and the ship sank.🌊




Owing to a curse he wasn't able to be dead. He could went neither to Heaven nor to Hell. The ghost ship roaming around ocean forever.👻

HollandⅢ



As for the episode of ｢Wandering Dutch｣,a folktale similar to the episode spread over the whole people who believed in the Catholic.⛪



It was the Dutch go on a voyage during the forbidden time that they were Protestant and were inexcusable.The people who hated the Dutch appeared to think like that.😤



The scorn for the Dutch may include they were wonderful merchants.I'll express it later on.


Holland is familiar to us Japanese. The Tokugawa shogunate,what we call Tokugawa Bakufu,adopted isolatinism and neither associated with other countries nor traded with them,except for China and Holland.🗾



The Tokugawa Shogunate allowed the two people to enter Japan.Holland was only a country which was associated with Japan in Europe,which were as if it was a peephole to know about the Western.👀

I'm happy and relieved to hear you're fine.I've never suffered from the sickness of the eye,but imaging I go blind,it's scared me.Fortunately,you didn't seem to be so bad.😃



As a proverb says,time flies.No less than fifteen years have passed since the Hanshin Awaji great earthquake.I hear Japan lies on the volcanic zone,so I can't feel it was no concern of mine.There is no telling what may happen in the future.😔



It seems that you put a great deal of effort into listening English. Though you may know,when listening to English, it seems to be useful to think in English. At the time,if we think in Japanese,I'm afraid we're one beat behind the English conversation.😔

Both China and Holland were allowed to trade with Japan in the Edo period because they didn't try to propagate Christianity.⛪

At first, I talk about the name of the country.Holland isn't a formal name of the country.It's formal name is the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It means lowlands. It indicates the name of the region where Holland and Belgium lie at present.😃



A quarter of the country is 40 meters below sea level.There are no mountains and is a area of a delta where there is a mouth of the two rivers,Rhine and the other in the country.☀



There are three countries, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in the area of the seaside between France and Germany.We call these three countries the Benelux.There is a wild sea which has a rich fishing ground faced Netherlands, the North Sea. There is England beyond it.🌊

I've thought I must put the fire out properly at once when being an earthquake,but it depends,for we don't seem to be able to be up on our feet when we have a great earthquake like the Hanshin Awaji one.After the shake ceased,we should do what we have to😃



If we try to put the fire of a gas ring(ｶﾞｽｺﾝﾛ) out on which the water of the kettle is boiling,there will be fear of burn.⚠

HollandⅤ



Holland means a name of a region in the country.The lowland along the sea where there is the capital,Amusterdam belonged to the Count of Holant.The Belgian called it ｢Holland｣ and the word spread to Japan.😃



So what means the word,｢Dutch｣? There are some phrases like ｢Dutch account｣ or ｢Dutch wife｣ and the word means ｢belong to Holland｣.It's English word.



On the other hand there is a expression like in a English dictionary.💡



Dutch used to mean belongs to Germany,of Germany,but it turned into another meaning,｢of Holland, belongs to Holland｣ since the1600s.Holland used to be a strong country which competed with England for international market,so the word ｢Dutch｣ include scornful meaning.


Holland used to be a part of the Netherlands which included Belgium, Luxembourg and a part of North France at present until it became independent of the Netherlands.☀

HollandⅥ



Holland had been govern by several powers for centuries until the country became independent.



A general of ancient Roman Empire,Julius Caesar attacked Holland,leading the Roman army in B.C 1 century.It was written in what we call ｢Garia senki｣.Then the country was going to be controlled by the Roman Empire,but Holland managed to escaped from it.😔



The country was ruled by the Kingdom of Franck in A.D 8th century,and belonged to Germany in the 9th century.



The history of the country was continuation of suffering.It belonged to the Burgundy which was branch of the Kingdom of France in the 15th century and belonged to the Hapusubuluku in the 16th century. Then CharlesⅤ of the Hapusubuluku also ruled Spain,so the country became under the control of Spain in 1555.😢



After that Holland became independent as a republic of Netherlands, so the enemy for a war of independence of Holland was Spain.

HollandⅥ



Holland has lowlands,lots of rivers and faces wild sea. It means that they learned to be fond of ocean,and to be the marine people. The fishing industry was flourished for a long time. They caught herrings,codfishs,and soles and ate them a lot. They were good at managing boats🌴


Being in Europe,proficient at boats and having good harbors mean the place was the base of the trade and merchants grew up.🌴


The Atlantic and Mediterranean have been important route,and wherever there are good harbors,the places become flourished as abusiness districts.For example,there is a play of which the title is ｢A Merchant of Venice｣. The book shows the relation between good harbors and business districts.Istanbul was one of the city which became prosperous thanks to ocean trade.Amusterdam became flnurished like that,and the original temperament of the merchant grew up.😃

HollandⅦ



Holland couldn't stand the tyranny and make war on Spain at last to become independent from Spain.The war continued for 80 years,including the period of a cease-fire of 12 years.🆚



Holland declared Spain to be independent in 1581 and won independence practically by concluding a peace-treaty in 1609.Though the war started again from the year when the cease-fire was over, 1621 to 1684,the country started as another new country since the country declared independence.🎊



The European people were really surprised,for Holland continued to be at war with a big power, Spain and the minor power won the victory. They were forced to admit Holland to be pretty big power.😨



Holland was a country in which the merchants were powerful and they were good at business.These things have to do with the jews.💡

I, just had supper and after
I washed just my own dishes.
That happens because a parent ends the meal later than me.
During winter, as the water is cold, me and parent wash dishes and take off the dish washing soap using warm water.

I didn't know the word 　 　　‘arithmetic’. Instead I was just used to another word,
　　‘ math’
or‘ mathematics'. Now I have another vocabulary thanks
to you⤴


Oh, you are so good at finding books for learning.😃
『もっとどうころんでも社会科』　by:清水 義範 must be a book with sense of humour. I will find out if I can borrow it at library.

As to the word,｢Donkusai｣,in other words, it means appealing,winning or engaging.｢愛嬌がある｣Nobody's perfect.😃


I don't deserve respect, but I'm grateful to you for your remark.😊



A person who I respect is the one who suppresses the strong and helps the weak. The person like that are few.😔


There is a proverb｢It's no use kicking against the pricks｣ 長い物には巻かれろ



I used to hate the proverb and to respect the person who kick against the pricks. I'd wanted to be a person likethat,but it is easy to say.😔



Your question is a little severe. I'm forced to think about myself.😱


By the way, I sometimes express my English diary in the midnight,so could you please switch off the ｢着ﾚｽ｣ on my diary when you sleep,unless it'll prevent you from sleeping.🙇

As for the book,｢もっと どうころんでも社会科｣ is the second volume of social studies,and first one is｢どうころんでも社会科｣It's also interesting.If you have a chance to read,please do read it.📖



You seem to be full of curiosity.I think it's good thing. Let me recommend you an author whose works you're likely to want to read.☝



｢妹尾河童 せのおかっぱ｣is the author.Some of his works are ｢河童が覗いたﾖｰﾛｯﾊﾟ｣｢河童が覗いたｲﾝﾄﾞ｣｢河童が覗いた日本｣I think they are worthy of reading.😁



The problem is the letters in the book are a little small. I hope your eyesight doesn't become bad.😔



As to arithmetic,the subject which we learned in the elementary school is arithmetic,and the one which we studied in junior or senior high school is math,or mathmatic.My brain isn't suitable for both of the subject,but I tried to show you the difference between them. See you later🙋

The book which you read at the moment,｢The Waves｣is one of her typical works,and another typical ones are ｢Mrs.Dalloway｣,｢To the Lighthouse｣.📖



She is said to be a standard-bearer of modernism,which means a general term of a principle from which some people break away the tradition.😃

In the Western,people say ｢God bless you when you snooze. Why?☀



If you read the book,you will understand the reasons, and there are lots of another topics in which you're interested.👍

The First World War which changed the family and the society of the England was over, and the father made up his mind to go to the lighthouse with the youngest son,daughter and his friend, but……😔



It's a typical work of the author,in which she used the behavior of going to the lighthouse simbolically,describing the difficulties they have,living and being dead,the consciousness about the changing society of England with his minute expression.😃

We learned arithmetic when we're in a elementary school,for we study the basic thing in the subject,it seems to be similar to that we have to learn the japanese letters,hiragana,katakana in the Japanese language.
🏫

We learned how to calculate,addition,subtraction,multiplication and division.🏫



We learned the other things in the arithmetic,to say the multiplication tables (九九を言う),how to calculate fractions,(分数),a method of calculation based on figuring the number of cranes and tortoises from the totals of their legs.🏫



Though making unnecessary addition,we have to learn by heart 9の段. On the other hand Americans had to learn by heart to 12の段。It seems to be a remain of the duodecimal system.(12進法).😚



To be continued.If you feel boring, I'm sorry. Have a good night.😁

>> 240 Nushi san, I have read your message🌼


I didn't know in the
expression 9の段. I didn't
know Americans had to learn by heart to 12の段 either.
It is not boring but I should have learned arithmetic. I have almost no knowledge about it😥

I go to work by monorail. It takes around 30minutes.

Have a nice sleep🐘

Good night again.



As to the multiplication table in America,they needn't to learn by heart to 12の段, for they don't adopt the duodecimal system. It says in the book of ｢これを英語で言えますか？｣😁



Mathematics includes algebra,geometry,factorization(因数分解) and differental calculus(微分)、integral calculus(積分),so I can't undesstand mathmatics at all.😂



I tried express difference calculus and integral calculus,but I gave up it,for I failed the division of fraction.When calculating it,we need to turn the denominator(分母)and mumerator.😔



I can understand a simple one,for example one divide half, I can understand it easily why it is,but when being the denominator and numerator are large, I don't know why it is,though I can calculate it,for I only have to turn upside thd numbers.😚



See you later. Thd winter seems to continue,so let's take care of ourselvns each other.Have a wonderful night😁

>> 242 Nushi san, good evening.


I have noticed a message from you when I visited your thread. After 10minutes, I received Chakuresu of the same message. Anyway it is grateful to receive messages from
Nushi san⤴

Oh it is so hard to learn math, I usually think things by images, although math may also comes from mark(= sign) or beautiful order.
It is a regret that I had
no sence concerning to math or science😥

I am planning to go to the USA this autum. I don't know if it will become real, but I
have been there twice before.
It's just a plan and I may go to France🇫�

I am not afraid of traveling the USA, but a bit afraid
visiting France😥

Nushi san, I was just talking to myself🐤

Thank you for reading. 🌼

As you say, it sure is still cold, please take good care🐘
Good night!

HollandⅧ



There used to be a lot of the Jews in Spain,and it was one of reason of the prosperity of Spain,but the Spanish persecuted the Jews because they believed in Catholicism.


A law to expel the Jews from Spain issued at last and lots of them who lived in Spain were forced to go out of the country from the end of the 15th century to the beginning at the 16th century.😔


It was said to be the jews of quarter million in Spain then ,but fifteen hundred thousand of them went out of the country,and lots of them came to Holland.😃



The Reformation which began in Germany at 1517 was widespread in Holland,and the Protestantism also spread in the country.The essence of the Protestantism is to be set free under the control of the Catholic church,so the Dutch made much of the liberty.


The Dutch was said that they didn't discriminate race,and they don't at the moment.To be continued.By😁

Thank you for your message. In fact, I don't know anything about math in the least. Last year, I interviewed at a cramming school(塾) to be an instructor, so I took the written examinations both of English and math.As to English I thought it was all right,but math……I could fill in no more than two places.After ten minutes passed, I gave up it.😂


By the way,the Americans call the subject math,but the English call it maths. My English dictionary says it.😃



Have you ever been to America twice and may you go to France in this autumn? It's cool! To be frank with you, I envy you.😚



Does it mean you study abroad or sightseeing? In any case,you have had valuable experience,and you'll have again.Congratulation.🎉



When you return in Japan, I hope you talk me about your experience in the country. As to France, I don't know anything about the country,so I can't give you advice.Sorry😔


Have a nice dream😁

• << 252 Nushi san, good evening🌼 Netherlands is the subject now you are telling us about🐤 It's quite interesting, I will read them again⤴ You seem to like alcohol.😉 Have a half-tipsy confortable night See you again🐘

HollandⅨ



The Protestantism is 30% of the Dutch and the Catholic is 40% of them at the moment. They admit both of the people who believe in the relisions,so they accepted the Jewish people.😃


The people who were good at commerce, the Jewish people,came to a commercial area of ocean trade,Holland. It meant it made the country even stronger.🌴



In other words,the country turned into a strong one by developing commerce,so it could go to war against Spain.☝



World market was opened to Holland by a cease-fire agreement in 1609,for they admitted trading of the Dutch in the colony both of Spain and Portugal practically.☀



What we call The Company of the East Indian which established by the Dutch in 1602 marched into the Asian commercial area in which Portugal ruled,deprived Ceylon of Portugal,advanced into Indonesia,robbed the trade of both of China and Japan,and branched out evnn to Africa to make more profit.💰

HollandⅩ



｢The miracles which the Dutch accomplished｣,the European people used to call it then,the great remarkable progress which they paid attention with their eyes open began.😃


We learned that England established what we call The Company of the Eastern Indian in 1600,and Holland did in 1602 in the class of the world history, so we are liable to think England took a step forward,but it didn't.😃



In fact,as to marching into the, England was behind Holland. The company which England established was just a union ,but the one which the Dutch founded was a joint-stock corporation.☝



Holland treated such expensive and great profitable articles as Asian spices,they were mainly pepper,silk fabrics,Brazilian sugar,dyestuff and arms exclusively.



The force was as if it had scattered English merchants from the Baltic Sea🌴

As for Japan, Holland directed its attntion to the island country in the early time.One of the five merchant marine which sail for the Asia arrived at the seashore of Beppu Bay of Bungo(豊後、現在の大分県) in 1600, it meant the ship was almost shipwrecked.Williams Adams was one of the crews.He was known as 三浦按針,he wasn't a Dutch but a Englishman.🇬�



The shogun, Ieyasu Tokugawa allowed the Dutch to commerce and as a result of it,a office of the Dutch merchant was completed.😃



The Dutch didn't forced the Japanese to believe in the religion and the Shogun permitted them to trade under the Japanese diplomatic policy,national isolation.for they were Protestants and they made much of the liberty of religion.😁

HollandⅩⅡ



In the other words the Dutch may have been cunning, for they were good at commerce,so they may have tried to exclude other countries from Japan.👿



They may have whispered to the Shogun like that☝



｢What the other countries really want to do is to propagate Christianity,but we aren't👿



Gold,silver,and earthware were brought to the Europe from Japan,in particular,lots of Japanese pottery were carried away,and the Western culture was greatly influenced bx them at one time.🍵



What we call the company of the Eastern Indian which the Dutch managed used to brought a lot of pottery that were produced in China into the Europe,but when the production of the Chinese earthware was stagnant because there was a conflict that Min ruined and shin flourished,they brought Aritayaki into the Europe as a substitute of the pottery.🍵

Holland ⅩⅢ



As the result of the fact that lots of the pottery were brought in Europe,the earthware which is produced in Holland at the moment is greatly influenced by the Aritayaki.🍵



Holland in the 17th century was the advanced country in which commerce flourished,and it came all the way to Japan for their business.🚢



Holland made inroads into the Asian market,turning Jakarta into a base of the country and building a commercial area which was conncted with all the place in Europe,and being the heart of the commercial activity.☀



The industry became prosperous in Holland. The Dutch was good at improvement trade,especially as far as the textile industry,the country was by far superior to the other countries.Leiden,it is a city in Holland,was famous for a producing area in which thin and good woolen stuff was made.😃
