こんにちは！Ｙｏｎです。
久しぶりにトピックをたてまーす！
英語の勉強･･といってもいろんな方法があると思いますが
レベルはいろいろでも辞書片手に難しい英語を読んでいけば絶対に力も表現力もついてきます！
ということで、この『ニュースを英語で読もう！』のコーナーではオーストラリアの興味深い情報をピックアップしてここでお知らせしていきます。英文を読む前に、日本語で簡単にサマリーの内容を説明するので、後は自分でどれだけ理解できるか！英語で読んでみてくださいね。
え？一行目からわかんない単語だらけですか？！そんな場合は、ほらっ今すぐ辞書で調べてくださーい☆
今日選んだトピックは日本でニュースになっているかどうかわからないけど、1年半の計画の遅れが出て、ようやく飛び始めることになったシンガポールエアライン・エアバスＡ３８０ジェットの話題です。
これ、73メートルの長さのジェット！実にで・・かい！！ということですが、その一番始めてのフライトのファーストクラスのＡ１シートを買い取った人の話が書かれています。いちばーんはじめということも歴史に残りますが、そのファーストクラスのＡ１のシートですからねえ。
写真がその彼。38歳のジュリアン君。チケットはなんと・・＄110,000以上！！！いくらかわかります？日本円で･･･約1千200万以上って･･･っ！！ひーっすごいですねえ。。桁が違います。
ちなみにこのＡ３８０ジェット、12のプライベート個室があるそうです。ここにはフルサイズのベッドがあって、58インチのフラットスクリーンのＴＶがあるそうです。一体どんな人が利用するのやら･･。
以下、その文章でーす！
"Suprejumbo's $110,000 ticket buyer reveald"
The mystery bidder who paid more than $110,000 for a ticket on the first A380 superjumbo flight from Singapore to Sydney has been revealed.
Julian Hayward, a 38-year-old Briton based in Sydney sought a "little bit of history" by flying in seat 1A in the first class area of the plane on next week's journey.
An internet auction for tickets on the inaugural flight raised $US1.3 million ($A1.45 million) for charity.
The first delivered Airbus A380 superjumbo, owned by Singapore Airlines, took off this morning from Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, southern France, bound for its new home in Singapore.
Singapore Airlines crew including pilots and technicians were aboard the 73-metre-long jet, which is to make its first commercial flight on October 25 between Singapore and Sydney.
Today's 13-hour flight comes only a day after Airbus delivered the jet, the largest passenger plane in history, to Singapore Airlines.
Rollout of the jet, which can carry up to 853 passengers, is a year and a half behind schedule because of production problems that embarrassed the European firm, the bitter rival of Boeing Co of the United States.
Airbus had major problems with the wiring of the more than 530 kilometres of cable in each aircraft and executives admitted yesterday that the group had "greatly underestimated the complexity of this plane".
Lack of co-operation between French and German engineers - Airbus has plants in Britain, France, Germany and Spain - was blamed and the group has since launched a restructuring plan aiming to cut 10,000 jobs.
Although the A380 is capable of carrying more than 800 passengers in an all-economy configuration, Singapore Airlines has chosen to install just 471 seats to offer more space, particularly in business and first class.
The plane includes 12 private suites, each with a large, first-class size seat and a real bed with full-size mattress.
Each suite has a 58-centimetre flat-screen television and sheets by French designer Givenchy.
The "suite class" seats on the Singapore-Sydney route, on which A380 flights will begin regularly from October 28, are to be 40-80 per cent more expensive than first class on a Boeing 747, a spokesman told Agence France-Presse. The price of a suite on this route is to be about $A12,600.
The A380 problems over the past two years have provoked management changes, financial losses and a politically sensitive cost-cutting plan at Airbus.
Most recently, the plane has been at the centre of an insider trading scandal, with top managers and key shareholders suspected of selling shares in parent company EADS before the A380 production problems were made public.
Sixteen airlines have placed firm orders for the A380, including Qantas Airways.
Dubai-based Emirates is the leading client among a customer list that includes predominantly Asian, European and Gulf-based carriers.
