私が読む本は普通地元の図書館から借りていますが、本が途切れた場合に読む本として 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' を買いました。 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' はシリーズ物の本で、１０年前にも買ったことがあるのですが、その時は読み始めて直ぐの頃にその本をどこかに置き忘れて無くしてしまいました。 今回買った 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' はその時の物とは違うと思います。 今回の副題は 'Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit' となっています。
About six years ago Lee created what he calls his Hugger Kit. On the outside it reads "A heart for a hug." The inside contains thirty little red embroidered hearts with stickums on the back. Lee will take out his Hugger Kit, go around to people and offer them a little red heart in exchange for a hug.
"stickums" は恐らくスティッカーの裏の糊を示している様ですが、辞書で確認します。
・Wiktionary: (Canada, US, informal) Any adhesive, adhesive residue; any sticky or gummy substance.: He had sat next to Cindy returning from the Y and smelled the chlorine on her. A sodden Band-Aid had clung by a few lingering bits of stickum to her knee.
・Collins Dictionary: any adhesive, sticky, or gummy substance
・Urban Dictionary: the paper and glue residue left behind when you try to peel off a label or price tag.: When I took off the price tag, there was a lot of stickum left behind.
日本でも以前街頭でハグを呼びかける人がいたことをテレビで見たことがありますが、さすがにこんな人はコロナでいなくなったでしょうね。
