Today is Feb. 11th, the National Foundation Day of Japan. 2012 minus 2672 equals -660. That is to say, Japan was founded in 660 B.C. and the story was written in Japanese mythology. We Japanese could be proud of our own history, but lots of Japanese people don't know that due to the abhorrent Douglas MacArthur. However, my family, who had successfully evaded his plot, hoisted the national flag.
(Vocabulary)
abhorrent 嫌悪感を起こさせる
hoist 〈重いもの〉を持ち上げる, つり上げる, 〈旗・帆〉を掲げる
