昨日の授業で、塾生と音読したテキストをご紹介します。

月に人は住むことができるの?
Can people live on the moon？
人間で初めて月に降り立ったのは、アメリカの宇宙飛行士アームストロングで、1969年のことでした。
The first human to land on the moon was American astronaut Neil Armstrong in 1969.

近い将来には、月面に観測基地を作って、人類が生活するようになるかもしれません。さて、私たちにとって身近な月ですが、どんなところなのでしょう。
In the near future, we may build an observation base on the moon and human beings will live there. Well, The moon is familiar for us, but what kind of place is it?
月には地球のような大気がほとんどありません。重力も地球の６分の１なので、地球にいる時と同じ力でジャンプすると、6倍もの高さまで飛ぶことができます。
The moon has almost no atmosphere like the earth. Gravity is also one sixth of that of the Earth, so if you jump with the same force as when you are on Earth, you can fly up to six times as high.
それから月の自転はゆっくりなので、昼と夜の長さは、それぞれ地球にいる時の約14日ずつになります。つまり月での一日は、地球の約28日分ということです。
Then the moon rotates slowly, so the length of day and night is about 14 days each when you are on Earth. In other words, one day on the moon is about 28 days on the earth.

温度の変化も大きく場所によっては昼間は110°を超え、-170°ぐらいに下がります。大気が少ないので、熱がほとんどそのまま伝わってきて、太陽が出ている昼はとても暑く、太陽が沈む夜は、とても寒いのです。
The temperature changes greatly, and depending on the location, it exceeds 110 ° in the daytime and drops to about -170 °. Since the atmosphere is small, the heat is transmitted almost as it is, and it is very hot in the daytime when the sun is shining and very cold in the night when the sun is setting.

また地球の上空にはオゾン層や磁場があって、人体に有害な紫外線や放射線を弱めてくれますが、月には守ってくれるものがありません。
In addition, there is an ozone layer and a magnetic field above the earth, which weakens ultraviolet rays and radiation that are harmful to the human body, but there is nothing to protect the moon.

このように私たちにとっては厳しい環境なので、月で普通に生活することはできません。そのため厳しい環境から人間を守ってくれるドームを建設したり、地下に住める場所を作ったり、とたくさんのアイデアがあります。
This is a harsh environment for us, and we cannot live normally on the moon. Therefore, there are many ideas such as building a dome that protects humans from the harsh environment and creating a place to live underground.

何より大事なのは、月に水があるかどうかです。多くの人間が月に住むようになったら、食料も水も全て地球から運ぶわけにはいきません。月には水があると考えられ、現在も調査が進められています。もし本当に月で水が発見されれば、その水を使って酸素を作ったり、電気エネルギーを生み出したりすることも、出来るようになります。
The most important thing is whether there is water on the moon. When many humans live on the moon, we cannot carry all food and water from the earth. It is believed that there is water on the moon, and investigations are still underway. If water is really discovered on the moon, it will be possible to use it to make oxygen and generate electrical energy.
