again
New York Todayから。見出しのagainはなんでもないと思うかもしれませんが,なんでもないところに深さがあります。このagainからは「あーあ,またか」(『G4』),「よしてやめて」といううんざり感が伝わってきます。発音もそのような感じになります。このほかこのなんでもないagainには文頭にくる用法があります。これも要チェックです。
関東にもwhite stuffが天から降りてくる予報です(今はdrizzle)。12月から装着してきたスタッドレスタイヤの出番がやってきました!(UG)
New York Today: Get Out the Snow Shovel. Again.
Good afternoon. It’s Monday. The Super Bowl’s over.
White stuff is falling from the sky.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Four to eight inches of heavy, wet snow is expected before it tapers off in midafternoon.
• Public schools in the city are open but field trips and after-school activities are canceled. Many suburban school districts are closed or closing early. See list.
• Alternate side parking is suspended.
• There are flight delays of up to four hours — check with your airline. Airports are expecting stranded travelers tonight and readying cots and pillows, officials told 1010 WINS radio.
• On land, travel is fouled up, too. See “Commute” section below.
• The temperature will hover around freezing most of the day and dip to 20 tonight.
• Six inches have already fallen in Central Park and parts of Long Island, more in western New Jersey. See chart.
• More snow, sleet and rain are coming Tuesday night.
All of this means you may soon get a chance to operate the tool known as a snow shovel.
