| 内容 | Smith Sensei:: In today's English class, we'll be talking about the average American. to begin with, the average U.S. citizen is a married woman age 32. That's because about 51.2% of the population are women and 32 is the median age. Yamada: Interesting. and how many children does the "average" woman have? Smith Sensei: She has 2.1 children. Yamada: How do you get the "point one"? Smith Sensei: Very funny. Yamada: Just kidding. So how tall is the average woman? Smith Sensei: She is 5 feet 4 inches. I don't know what that is in centimeters. Yamada: That's okay. I can figure it out. So what else can you tell me about the average American "woman"? Smith Sensei: She is slightly overweight, about 143 pounds and dieting. Her dress size is size 10 or 12. Yamada: Wow! That sure isn't the median size in Japan. Japanese women are much smaller! Smith Sensei: Yes, but as japan adopts the American lifestyle, dress sizes will begin to increase in Japan as well. Yamada: How true. So, keep going. Tell us more . How about religion? Smith Sensei: She doesn't go to church on Sunday, but she believes in God. Yamada: How about money? Smith Sensei: She makes less than $20,000 a year from her white collar job. She lives in the state where she was born and spends a third of her income on housing. Yamada: Does she ever move? Smith Sensei: Yes, as a matter of fact. She'll move an average of 11 times in her life. But nearly all her moves will be within her home state.

Yamada: How about love and marriage? Smith Sensei: She has a 50% chance of divorce. Yamada: That's not very encouraging. So what's the single most important fact that you can tell us about the average American woman? Smith Sensei: Well, she has 10 credit cards. Yamada: I should have known.
