NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「限定詞①：限定詞のない表現」L171 2022/12/12

Ohnishi: 友人に「大西の性格ってインド料理みたいだね」って言われて、きっと優し気な雰囲気の中にスパイスの効いたところがある、なーんて話だろうなって思って「なんで？」って言ったら・・・

Roza: 言ったら？

Ohnishi: ナンがある・・・

ラジオ英会話、ハートでつかめ英語の極意、講師の大西です。

Roza: そーなんだね。Akino Roza here.

Chris: Chris McVay here. Can I smell curry in the studio?

Roza: I’m getting hungry.

Ohnishi: さ、それでは今週もがんばっていくことにしましょう。

Chris: OK, guys. It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for … it’s practice time. And today, we are going to practice bare plurals and uncountable nouns along side each other. So, are you ready?

Here we go, “I love dogs.” You say, it’s not this dog, it’s not my dog, it’s just dogs in general and that’s what the bare plurals do. “I love sports cars.” “I love wine.” “I love cheese.”

Roza: OK, now let’s continue to some longer sentences, “Cats are highly intelligent animals.” “Water boils at 100 ℃.” “Computers have changed our daily life a lot.”

Chris: Good, and the final one, “We need potatoes, leeks, garlic and olive oil. – How about cheese?”

Chris: It is good job, guys.

Roza: That was fantastic.

Ohnishi: Hey guys, which do you prefer rice or bread?

Roza: Hum, that’s a difficult question. I love both.

Chris: I’m going to go for bread. How about you?

Roza: Yeah Sensei, what about you?

Ohnishi: I prefer nann. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: bye.
