早いものでもう三月です。来月になると新元号が発表になります。
平成30年が終わりますが、改めて光陰矢の如し、
月日の流れの速さを感じるこの頃です。
年を取るに従って一年の時の経過が早く感じます。
小学校の6年間は、とてもゆっくりで長い月日だったような。
それに比較して、どうでしょうか最近のつるべ落としの速さは。
まさにジャネーノ法則の通りです。
人に会えば早いものですねといつも言っている感じです。
親戚の子供に久し振りで会うと大きくなっていて
こっちも同じ年を取っているものだと
改めて年月の流れを感じさせます。
年を取ったと言いますが、年齢は単なる数字です。
そこで年齢に関する英語の格言をちょとと見てみましょう。
