Greetings!
What do Lincoln, Noguchi Hideyo, the Great Sphinx at Giza, Santa Claus, and Adolf Hitler all have in common? Why, prominent facial hair of course! (After all, what else could Santa and Hitler possibly have in common?)
This week we ponder the whys and wherefores of this most ostensibly male trait. Enjoy!
BEARD あごひげ、ほおひげ
- A beard is hair that a man grows on his cheeks, chin, or neck.
- beard とは、男性のほお、あご、首に生える毛、つまり、あごひげやほおひげのことです。
By the way, the Sphinx really did have a beard. If you're interested, you can see a piece of it at the British Museum in London!
