An Automatic Door

Jan 22, 2016 15:43
Automatic doors sometimes don't react to me.

It's a little embarrassing.

Formerly there were automatic doors that detect weights, but recently almost all of them use infrared sensors.

Therefore, the reason why automatic doors don't react is due to your clothes or your hair colors.

Basically, when the color is dark or the similar to the floor/mat color, it's difficult to react.

Conversely, when your clothes/hair color is bright or gaudy, it's easy to react.

If the automatic door doesn't react to you, let's move strongly with a bright thing.
自動ドア

私は時々、自動ドアが反応してくれないことがあります。

ちょっと恥ずかしいです。

昔は体重を感知するものもありましたが、現在の自動ドアはほとんど赤外線センサーを用います。

そのため、ドアが開かない原因は服装や髪の色などにあります。

基本的には、暗い色であったり、床やマットと同じ色の服であったりすると、反応しづらいです。

逆に、明るい色の服を着ていたり肌の露出が多い場合、カラフルな髪の色をしている人は、反応しやすくなります。

どうしても反応しない場合は、明るいものを持って大きな動作をしましょう。

  • Formerly, there were automatic doors that detected weight, but almost all of them are now using infrared sensors.
    　A more common way to say the beginning is just: "There used to be automatic doors that detected weight~" instead of using 'formerly'
    You didn't mention change, so you don't have to use 'recently', just say they are 'now using infrared sensors'
  • Therefore, the reason why automatic doors don't react is due to your clothes or your hair colors.
  • Therefore, the reason why automatic doors don't react is due to either your clothes or your hair color.
    　Use 'either' because you mention 2 things separated by 'or'
    You don't have to say 'your' 2 times, just say 'your clothes or hair color'

    　It sounds better to switch the clauses, like this:
    "Conversely, it's easy to detect clothes or hair that is brightly colored or gaudy".
  • If the automatic door doesn't react to you, let's move strongly with a bright thing.
  • If the automatic door doesn't react to you, let's move strongly with a bright thing.
    　This last part doesn't quite make sense, but I think you're trying to say:
    "~you should try moving through with bright clothing".

Thank you so much the corrections and your explanations! :)

Sorry for my obscure English and thank you for presuming my thought.
Actually, I wanted to say something like:
...you should try shaking your arm (or body) while holding bright things such as papers. It may look like you're waving a flag.
