I read three pages today because I think one sentence ran across from page 102 to page 103, correct me if I’m wrong…
よつばと！vol1, cha2, pp101-103 🍀
——— 101 ———
え？だれ？
E-? Who’s there?
えなー
Ena-
あれ⁉︎ よつばちゃん
Huh!? Yotsuba
え？どうしたの？
Eh? What’s the matter?
——— 102&103 ———
あのなーあさぎがなーえながなーえがじょうずだからなー
Well, you see- it’s because, you see, Asagi (said) you’re good at drawing-
あれ⁉︎このへやはあついな‼︎えなクーラーしってるか⁉︎
What? This room is hot!! Ena, do you know about air conditioners?
しってるよー
I know about them
この部屋にもあるもん、はら
This room has one as well, look
あっ！ホントだ‼︎でもあついぞ⁉︎
Ah-! It ready does!! But it’s hot!?
えーと…できるだけクーラーは使わないようにしてるの地球温暖化って知ってる?
Um… as for using the air conditioner a lot, I don’t do it as it causes global warming, don’t you know?
(Honestly, to me “使わないようにしてるの地球温暖化” looks like “I don’t use it so that global warming is caused” e.g. the reason for not using it isn’t to prevent GW but to cause it… so I’m obviously missing a logical step in the sentence or something. Or it’s two sentences starting with “できるだけクーラーは使わないようにしてるの” but then what is she saying is the reason she’s not using the air conditioner much? Does she just trail off and then ask “do you know about global warming?”?)
ちきゅうだ…ん？
Global …ing?
あのね私もあんまりよくわかってないんだけど
Well, I don’t understand it very well either, but
すごーくおおまかにいうとー
I’ll tell you in very loose terms
(とー？)
クーラーを使うと地球あつーくなって、北極の氷とけて島が沈んじゃったり
When you use the air conditioner the world gets warmer, the polar ice melts, islands sink etc.
地球がとってもたいへんになるの、それが地球温暖化
The world is entering a terrible crisis (becoming very awful?), that’s what global warming is
ちきゅうおんだんか
Global warming
そう
That’s right

it’s 地球温暖化
