Blue Skies Over Manhattan

Clear skies over Manhattan. on Twitpic
私の弟が撮ったマンハッタンの写真です。

その写真の英語タイトルは「Blue skies over Manhattan」です。今日のテーマは「Blue Skies」と「sky vs. skies」です。

We have several ways to express 「青空」 in everyday English. Here are some examples:

- blue skies
- clear, blue skies
- a/the blue sky
- a/the cloudless blue sky

色々な言い方がありますね!英辞郎(http://www.alc.co.jp/)では「azure sky // blue canopy // blue expanse // canopy of heaven」まで乗っています。(英辞郎の方がちょっと詩的な表現ですが。)

写真のタイトルでは、これでもいいでしょう。

- Beautiful skies over Manhattan.
- Nice view of the skies over Manhattan.
- Clear, blue skies over Manhattan.

ところで、普通に「空」は「sky」に訳ますが、何で弟は「sky」の複数形の「skies」にしたのだろうか?

英語では、「sky」は「天空、空、天国、等 」の意味します。 特に、天気の話の場合、よく「skies」とします。

例えば:

- gloomy skies(どんよりした空模様)
- skies were clear(晴れた)
- fair skies(晴れでしょう)
- blue skies(青い空)

So, there are many ways to express 「青空」 in English. When talking about the weather, be sure to use the word "skies" instead of just "sky."
