本当にそっくりな二人に驚く！

　写真は玄関前に咲いてる「ハイビスカス」です。また、似ている「芙蓉」も同じ場所で咲きます。これらは花が大きく、色彩も豊かで遠くからすぐ目に留まります。

　ところで、人間は同じ目、鼻、口、眉で構成されていても、何故、一人一人全く違った顔をしてるのでしょう。どこが違うのでしょう。それでも、私たちは人の顔を見れば瞬時に誰であるか分かります。人間の顔ほど不思議なものはありません。

　一方、逆に、世の中には本当に似てる人もいます。同じ倉賀野町で3組の人が私には今でも区別がつきません。以前に近くに住んでいた二人の男の子が、成人しましたが、今でもって区別がつきません。

　また、よく知ってる後輩に倉賀野駅のホームで会ったので「暫くでしたね。」と声を掛けましたが、全く反応しないので、どうしたことかと驚いたことがあります。

　最近では、校区の交通パトロールをしていたら、二人の女子児童が一緒にいて、そっくりで私には全く区別がつきません。いわゆる一卵性双生児の方々でしょう。

　それにしても、私たちは、その人がいなくても、人の顔を思い浮かべることができたり、夢にも出てきます。これも不思議なことです。また、外国に行っても、日本人に会うと日本人であることがすぐわかります。外国人と何が違うのでしょう。

Dear my overseas friends

　The simultaneous interpretation for you will be later, because from now on I will participate the radio gymnastics held at the park and take a breakfast. Then I'll interpret into English for your understanding above mentioned contents.

　The photo shows "hibiscus" blooming in front of the entrance. Also, the similar "Fuyo" blooms in the same place. These flowers are large and colorful, so people can easily see from a distance.

　By the way, even though humans have the same eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows, why do each person's face look completely different? What's the difference? However, we can instantly recognize someone by looking at their face. There is nothing more mysterious than the human face.

　To the contrary, there are some people in the world who are really similar. I still can't tell the difference between the three groups of people in my Kuragano-town. Two boys who used to live near are now adults, but I have never been able to distinguish one from the other.

　Also, I met a junior colleague I knew well on the Kuragano-Station platform, and I said to him "long time no see" but he didn't respond at all, so I was surprised to the core.

　Recently, when I was patrolling the school district, I saw two girls together, and they looked so much alike that I couldn't distinguish them at all. I guess they are what are called identical twins. I was surprised at how similar the two girls really are !

However, even if that person is not there, we can still imagine their face or even see them in our dreams. This is also strange. Even when I go to a foreign country, when I meet a Japanese person, I can immediately understand that they are Japanese. What is the difference between Japanese and foreigners?
