ドライブスルーは便利なのか?
2008年 04月 09日
そしてその原因は、いろんなところに見つかる。
もちろん、食べ物がその原因の1つであるのは当たり前だけど、もう1つの大きな理由は交通手段が車しかないこと!ここでは誰も道を歩けません。なので運動不足のため太ってしまうのだと思う。
When I first came to Michigan, There were so many surprising things. One of
them was that there are a lot of overweight people. There are several reasons for that.
Of course, one of them is food, but another big reason is that people get
around only by cars. Most people cannot walk on the road, so I think they
become overweight from a lack of exercise.
自転車も趣味で公園でマウンテンバイクを走らせることはできるけど、移動手段としては使えません。
毎日の生活で、ちょっとその辺に行くのも車。向かいのポストに手紙出しに行く車。完全な車の街です。デトロイトは自動車メーカーが多いから、わざと公共交通機関は作っていないそうだ。道に歩道が殆どないから歩けない。自転車も然り。
車の方が歩行者に慣れてないから、もし人が歩いてたとしたら「ひかれても知らないよー」って感じになるのかも・・・
We can ride mountain bikes in the parks as our hobby but cannot use them for transportation. In the daily lives, even when our destination is very close, we
use cars.
Even when we mail a letter across the street, we also go there by cars.
This city is completely “The City of Cars.” There is no public transportation,
because there are a lot of automobile companies in Detroit, so the government does not make public transportation more than needs. Roads do not have side walk, so we cannot walk or use bicycles. Drivers do not get used to
pedestrians, so if people walk on the road, drivers might feel
“You’ll get no sympathy from me if you get hit by a car…
そして、その上私がびっくりしたのが、ドライブスルーが超―――多いこと!!
日本のドライブスルーって、普通はファーストフードだけじゃんねー。
もちろんここでも殆どファーストフードはドライブスルー付きだよ。
でもそれ以外のドライブスルーを紹介。
Moreover, I was very surprised how many drive- thru there are!
As you know in Japan, only fast food restaurants have drive-thru.
Of course, fast food restaurants in Michigan have them. In addition,
I would like to tell you about various drive-thrus.
銀行のATMと薬局
Bank ATM and Pharmacy


酒屋のドライブスルーがあるってのも聞いたことがある
驚くことに、「ドライブスルーインフルエンザの予防接種」なんてのもあった(;一_一)
要するに、ミシガンは非常に便利にできていて、車から降りなくてもできることがめちゃ多い。。。だからここに住む人はずっと車から降りなくても用が足りるのです。そりゃ太るわ。
I heard there is liquor shop’s drive-thru.
Surprisingly, there is a drive-thru window for FLU SHOT.
Gradually, like in Michigan has become too convenient, everything can be done at a drive-thru window.
So, people can stay in their car all the time. Therefore, many people are
overweight.
この町で太ってしまう理由はこれ以外にもあるので、また別の機会にご紹介します。ちなみに私は、今、生きてて最高の体重を更新中です
Outside of this reason, there are many other reasons that people in the city
become overweight, so I will tell you at another time.
Anyway, I am also heavier than I have ever been in my life.
