NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「会話の原則⑤：配慮･･･配慮する」L6 2023/4/10

Ohnishi: ラジオ英会話、ハートでつかめ英語の極意、講師の大西泰斗です。

今日は人気キャラ、バーバラの登場ですね。楽しんでいきましょう。

Roza: Hey everyone. This is バーババーババババーババーバラ・・・・じゃなくて、あきのろーざ。

David: And I’m David Evans. Sensei, do you go to the gym?

Ohnishi: Yes, twice a week.

David: I’m thinking about starting myself.

Ohnishi: Oh, that’s good for your health.

Roza: Yeah, just don’t follow after Ohnishi-Sensei’s way of eating a lot of snacks after his gym session. You won’t get healthy that way.

Ohnishi: Why do you know that? さぁそれでは、今週も頑張っていきましょう。

Roza: OK everyone. Are you ready to practice “hairyo” phrases?

David: All right then, let’s begin. Here is the first one,

• I’m sorry, but could you show me the way to the station, please?

Now let’s try with “excuse me”,

• Excuse me, but could you show me the way to the station, please?

Roza: Next example,

• I’m afraid David is out at the moment.

That’s weird he is right next to me.

David: Hi,

Roza: One more time,

• I’m afraid David is out at the moment.

David: Great work so far. Let’s continue,

• I know you’re busy, but could you help me for a second?

Once again,

• I know you’re busy, but could you help me for a second?

Roza: And our last example,

• Actually, I’m quitting this job.

One last time,

• Actually, I’m quitting this job.

Roza: Fantastic work guys.

David: Very good work everyone. Thanks so much.

Ohnishi: いやぁ、I know you’re busy but … これは聞くとうれしいセリフなんですよねぇ。

・・・・

David: So, we can make plans?

・・・・

Roza: It’s OK David, we can make plans just to the two of us.

David: Nice!

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
