Decarbonization
During the next decade, $ 16 trillion dollars are needed for decarbonization. You can see the importance of future global environmental protection. But now there are people who don’t have food or house in the world. If we can use $ 1 trillion, how many suffering people can be saved?
脱炭素の為に、今後十年間の間に、16兆ドル必要だそうです。将来の地球環境保護の重要性はわかります。でも、今、食べるものがない、住む家がない人々が世界にはいます。1兆ドルあれば、今、苦しんでいる人々を何人救えるでしょうか?

Expiration Date
Recently, I see a certain situation very often while I am shopping at supermarkets. I see such a situation especially in the refrigerated food section.
One day, my wife told me to get a package of milk from the supermarket, so I went there. At the milk counter, I noticed a middle-aged woman picked up milk packages one after another, looked at them, and then put them back on the shelf. Finally, she reached to the back of the shelf, picked one up, looked closely at the package, and put it in the cart. She then went to the yogurt shelf and did something similar.
Next, a woman who seemed to be a young mother with children came to the milk counter. Without hesitation, the woman took out one from the back of the shelf, read the label on the package, put it in the cart, and headed for the cashier.
The milk that comes earlier is put in the front and the milk that comes later is put in the last row.
Looking at my watch, I remembered that I was also there to buy some milk, so I bought the milk that was at the front of the shelf, went home and put it in the refrigerator.
The next morning, as usual, I woke up to the sound of my wife making cappuccinos with the Delonghi's Espresso machine. I washed my face and then sat at the dinning table. However, my wife was in a bad mood for some reason. My wife said while making milk foam, "Why did you buy such an old milk? I can't make good cappuccino with this! Next time, please buy the newest one!" In this way, in supermarkets, it seems that the first one comes later, and the last one comes first.
By the way, there was also a similar story in the Bible. Please try to Google "Matthew 20:1-16".
消費期限
最近スーパーで買い物をしていて、よく見かける光景がある。その光景は特に冷蔵食品売り場で見かける。
ある日、私は妻に牛乳を買ってくるように言われて近所のスーパーに行った。
牛乳売り場で、一人の中年女性が、牛乳を次から次に手に取って、パッケージを見ては棚に戻していた。
最後に棚の一番奥に手を伸ばして、一つを手に取りパッケージをよく見てからそれをカートに入れた。彼女は次にヨーグルトの棚のあるところへ行って同じようなことをしていた。
次に子連れの若い母親らしき女性が牛乳売り場に来た。女性は迷わず棚の一番奥の方から一個取り出し、パッケージの表示を読んで、それをカートに入れてレジに向かった。
早く来た牛乳は前方に置かれ、後で来た牛乳は最後列に置かれる。
私は時計を見て自分も牛乳を買いに来ていることを思い出し、棚の一番手前にあった牛乳を買い、家に帰ってそれを冷蔵庫に入れた。
翌朝、いつも通り、妻がデロンギのエスプレッソマシーンでカプチーノを入れる音で目が覚めた。私は顔を洗ってから食卓に着いた。しかしなぜか妻の機嫌が悪かった。ミルクの泡を作りながら妻が言った。「何でこんな古い牛乳を買って来たのよ！カプチーノがうまく作れないよ！今度から一番新しいのを買って来て！」このようにしてスーパーでは、先のものが後になり、後のものが先になるようだ。
そういえば聖書にも似たような話があった。グーグルで「マタイによる福音書20章1節から16節まで」で検索してみてください。
