"The dog days of summer"は「夏のうち最も暑い時期」「真夏」「盛夏」を表す。北半球においては7月上旬から8月中旬ごろまで、南半球においては1月上旬から2月中旬ごろまでを指す。この名前の由来は、おおいぬ座のシリウス(Dog Star)が、7月から8月にかけて日の出と共に現れ日の入りと共に沈むことが、この時期が暑くなることと関連づけられたことである。古代ローマでは、ドッグ・デイズは7月24日から8月24日まで、もしくは、7月23日から8月23日までとされていた。多くのヨーロッパの文化（ドイツ、フランス、イタリアなど）では、今日でもこの期間をドッグ・デイズと呼んでいる。

Narrator: Right now, it is very hot in Washington, D.C.

Narrator: So, it's a perfect time to learn this expression.

Jonathan: Anna, what exactly are you wearing?

Anna: Oh, this? I made a new mask. These are packs of ice. You want one?

Jonathan: I guess it could be nice for the dog days of summer. But uh, no.

Narrator: The “dog days of summer” describes the hottest time of the year. This expression has a long history. Ancient Greeks and Romans used the phrase when the star Sirius, known as the Dog Star, appeared to rise just before the sun. That happens in late July. And that's English in a Minute!

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden called Fox News
White House reporter Peter Doocy “a stupid son of a bitch” Monday on a live microphone, after Doocy asked Biden whether inflation was a political liability to him.

Son of a bitch! （クソー！・このクソ野郎）　[サノヴァビィ'ッチ] 
 "bitch", "son of a bitch"ともどもアメリカの映画を見ていれば頻繁に耳にするフレーズですよね。"bitch"というのは、「メス犬」という意味の侮辱語です。"son of a bitch"は、「メス犬の息子」。"bitch"同様非常に危険なフレーズです。

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani won The Associated Press’ Male Athlete of the Year award after the Los Angeles Angels’ two-way superstar and unanimous American League MVP put together a season with no analogue in the past century of his sport.

　No one else had been an everyday two-way player in the better part of the past century. Nobody has been both one of baseball’s top power hitters and one of its best starting pitchers since Babe Ruth starred at the plate and on the mound in 1919.

　Ohtani hit 46 homers and drove in 100 runs with a .965 OPS while playing in 126 games as the AL’s best designated hitter. He finished third in the majors in homers.

　He also started 23 games on the mound, going 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA and 156 strikeouts over 130 1/3 innings as the Angels’ ace and one of the AL’s top right-handers.
