SPEAKING

Yuki is talking to Lorraine, a Canadian member of the Kim Dae Hyun Fan Club, at their club’s cosplay party.

ユキはキム・デヒョンのファンクラブのコスプレパーティーで、カナダ人メンバーであるロレーヌと話をしています。

Lorraine:: Look at Sachiko. She’s wearing a kimono.
Yuki:: Oh, dear. I told her to wear a hanbok!
Lorraine:: (laughs) Well, that’s new. I almost never see anyone in a kimono.
Yuki:: Well, kimonos are not something that we wear every day. They’re expensive and not very comfortable, so we wear them only for special occasions. For example, some people wear kimonos at graduation ceremonies. Some people wear them on New Year’s, Shichi-Go-San, or other special holidays. The last time I wore a kimono was at my wedding!
Lorraine:: Cool! I’d love to see a photo.

TRIVIA

In English, all special days on the calendar are called holidays. If work and schools are closed on these days (ex. New Year’s, Children’s Day), you can call them federal holidays or bank holidays. Special days on the calendar that do not affect work or school (ex. Halloween, Shichi-Go-San) are just called holidays.

英語ではカレンダー上のすべての特別な日は祝日とみなされています。仕事や学校がお休みになる特別な日（新年やこどもの日など）は、「bank holidays 」や「federal holidays」と呼ばれています。仕事や学校に影響しない特別な日（ハロウィーンや七五三など）は単に「holidays」と呼ばれています。
