全文訳
1ゴジラの新しい映画『ゴジラ-0.0』が、11月3日に日本で公開されました。映画は、初日の朝からとても好調でした。午前11時までに、前の映画の約2倍のお金が入りました。どちらの映画も、公開初日の午前11時の時点の売り上げでくらべています。
2前の映画『ゴジラ-1.0』は、2023年に公開されました。日本で76億5000万円を売り上げました。映像の特殊効果で、アカデミー賞も受賞しました。
3初日には、出演者と山崎貴監督が東京の映画館でファンの前に立ちました。俳優の神木隆之介さんは、好スタートについてファンに感謝しました。この数字は、ゴジラが多くの人に愛されているしるしだと話しました。
4お話は、前の映画の2年後が舞台です。ゴジラの宿敵、キングギドラも登場します。イベントの最後には、スクリーンにキングギドラの姿が映し出され、鳴き声も流れました。北米では11月6日に公開されます。
文法ポイント:倍数の表し方(twice as ~ as …)
〈twice as + 形容詞・副詞 + as …〉で「…の2倍~」。3倍なら three times as ~ as …。本文の about twice as much money as the last movie は「前の映画の約2倍のお金」。much money のように〈much + 名詞〉をはさむこともある。
