Man Has Many Barbies

Yishu H.

Hello, and welcome to Speak good English with me, Yishu. Do you like Barbies? If you do, how many Barbies do you have? Today, we are going to continue our news story, and it’s about a man who has many barbies.

 

A man from Singapore has a large collection of Barbie dolls. It is one of the biggest collections in the world. 

シンガポール出身の男性は、バービー人形のコレクションをたくさん持っています。これは、世界最大のコレクションの 1 つです。

 

The man owns 6,000 Barbie dolls. His most precious Barbie is his first Barbie. He bought it back in 1984. This type of Barbie was also in a popular movie called “Toy Story”. 

その男性は6,000体のバービー人形を所有しています。彼の最も貴重なバービーは、彼の最初のバービーです。このタイプのバービーは、「トイ·ストーリー」という人気映画にも登場しました。

 

The hobby of collecting Barbies can be an expensive one. His most expensive doll cost him $3,600. The man’s hobby of collecting Barbies doesn’t have a good effect on his relationships. No girl can be as perfect as a Barbie.

バービー人形を集める趣味は、お金がかかるものです。彼の最も高価な人形の価格は 3,600 ドルでした。バービー人形を集めるという男性の趣味は、彼の関係に良い影響を与えません。バービーほど完璧な女の子はいません。

 

OK, that’s the news today. Actually, I had a couple of Barbies myself when I was a little girl and so did many of my friends. I’d like to change their clothes and and comb their hair. I thought it’s a girl thing until I read this story.

How do you feel about it? Feel free to comment. See you next time!
