今日は台風が近づいてきているので毎週金曜日の午前中に行っている卓球クラブの練習は珍しく休みにしました。午後のテニスの練習はどうするかまだ未定です。テニスクラブまで自転車で20分はかかるのでこの雨では厄介です。
さて、Yoko Ogawaの "Pregnancy Diary" を読んでいます。
I remembered a meeting that some fellow students had dragged me to a few months earlier. The title of the program was "Pollution: Our Earth, Our Bodies." There weren't many people there, but they seemed a sincere little group. As an outsider, I sat at a desk in the corner and stared out the window at a row of poplars lining the quadrangle.
"quadrangle" は４に関係ある言葉の様ですが辞書を見ます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: an open square area that has buildings all around it, especially in a school or college: It has a large central quadrangle entered from the south side.
・Collins Dictionary: A quadrangle is an open square area with buildings round it, especially in a college or school.:
Developers want to replace faded quadrangles with glass and concrete towers.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: a flat shape with four straight sides: Squares and rectangles are forms of quadrangles.
四角い中庭のことですね。
