This week, two news of the baseball player Otani Shohei happened.
The first news is good one. Yesterday Otani shohei hit 40 home-runs and is leading hitter in NBL. My wife is crazy about him. She cheers him and loves that he is good-looking, tall and young man. But she doesn’t know baseball rules so she sometimes asks me some strange questions.
“How many kinds of ball does he have. “ I said “Of cause one.Why do you think so?” She replied that the announcer said “he pitched a curve ball and slider ball. They are very nice boles.” She has thought that he throws some kinds of ball every-times.
The another news was that Detroit Tigers famous broadcaster said the racist comments to Otani. He used East Asian accent when he was asked by other announcer in the game”how the Tigers should pitch to Otani?”
He apologized in that game but he was fired from the programs.
We can’t pronounce V F R L words accurately. In Japanese Ra and La are same pronunciations. Also Bu Vu are same. Japanese Fa doesn’t bite the lips. Actually in my experience, when I ordered two cups of coffee to a cabin officer in the airplane, however two cups of coke were served at the honeymoon flight to Hawaii. My wife mocked me then.
Anyway I have to be very very careful with my carefree wife in my life.
